A total solar eclipse crosses North America today, slicing a diagonal line from the southwest to the northeast, briefly plunging communities in Mexico, the U.S. and Canada along the track into darkness.Outside that narrow path, the eclipse will still be visible in different parts of the U.S., including California, but the moon will only partially obscure the sun. Think of it this way - the further away from the path of totality, the slighter the partial eclipse is expected to be.According to...
Vice President Kamala Harris on Saturday continued to hammer Arizona’s new abortion ban and former President Trump’s role in overturning Roe vs. Wade during a surprise appearance in Century City. “Here's the thing about what they're doing and the cruelty of it: No exception in some states even for rape and incest.
