| LA Mayoral Forum Canceled, Voters Miss Out | 12 May 2026 | 00:01:17 | |
Last-Minute Cancellation of LA Mayoral Forum Leaves Voters in the Dark The planned televised mayoral forum in Los Angeles, scheduled for this Wednesday on FOX eleven, has been abruptly canceled. The event, organized by the League of Women Voters and the Pat Brown Institute for Public Affairs, was intended to give voters a chance to hear directly from the candidates about the citys major issues. Initially, five candidates were invited: Mayor Karen Bass, Councilmember Nithya Raman, businessman Adam Miller, community advocate Rae Huang, and TV personality Spencer Pratt. However, Pratt declined due to a scheduling conflict, and Bass withdrew after initially committing. Raman then followed suit, stating that she only agreed to participate in a direct debate with the mayor. The organizers expressed disappointment over Basss withdrawal, as she had signed the necessary forms. The cancellation leaves voters without the opportunity to see the candidates engage in a debate on local problems. With only Miller and Huang remaining, the forum was ultimately scrapped. The sponsors emphasized the importance of such forums in allowing candidates to share their views and address the challenges facing Los Angeles. They assured voters that they will continue to seek out opportunities for engagement with the candidates in this race.

| Rozier Accused in NBA Bribery Scheme | 29 May 2026 | 00:01:53 | |
Federal prosecutors just dropped shocking new charges against NBA guard Terry Rozier, accusing him of accepting a $100,000 bribe to leave a March 2023 game early—fueling a massive betting scandal already tied to 34 defendants, including Damon Jones and Chauncey Billups. The indictment alleges Rozier faked an injury to exit the game after just nine minutes, enabling bettors to cash in on his underperformance. His lawyer calls it prosecutorial overreach, arguing desperate co-defendants are feeding prosecutors lies. With Rozier having earned over $160 million, the bribe seems minuscule by comparison. Meanwhile, another defendant, Marves Fairley—a self-proclaimed “gambling guru”—pleaded guilty, admitting he used insider NBA info to rig bets and even placed fake wagers for others. This case keeps exposing the dark underbelly of sports betting.
