In a rare Sunday hearing, a federal appeals court judge appointed by President Trump questioned how the Trump administration's request to intervene in California's ongoing midterm election in order to force state officials to set aside 20,000 ballots from voters whose citizenship it questions squares with the U.S. Constitution.
Judge Mark J. Bennett said that while the executive branch is "unhappy" with what California law requires for ensuring voters are citizens, the state has the right to determine the manner of its elections under the Elections Clause of the Constitution and Congress has not challenged that process, despite having the ability to do so.
"It seems to me that you want us to issue an injunction that is entirely inconsistent with the law the California Legislature has adopted pursuant to the Elections Clause," Bennett said. "How can we do that?"
Matthew Donnelly, a Justice Department attorney, said the Trump administration has good reason to believe those ballots are from ineligible noncitizen voters, and has the legal right under separate federal criminal law to challenge their tabulation until state officials can prove otherwise.
Donnelly said both federal criminal law and state election law bar noncitizen voters from casting ballots, but "the problem is that California isn't interested in enforcing that provision."

When Kawhi Leonard became a Toronto Raptor for the first time in the summer of 2018, he looked shellshocked. "There's just more questions you have to ask me in order for me to tell you about myself," he said, introducing himself to an organization and city he reportedly had no interest in joining.
Leonard had fallen out with his former team, the San Antonio Spurs – one of the most respected franchises in professional sports – due to differences in opinion about an injury that had limited him to just nine games in the 2017-18 season. The Los Angeles native had hoped to end up in southern California, but instead the Raptors risked it all by swapping franchise cornerstone DeMar DeRozan for one year of an injured, malcontent Leonard. It worked: Leonard led the Raptors to their maiden championship on the back of a historic playoff run, averaging 30.5 points, 9.1 rebounds, 3.9 **** ists and 1.7 steals en route. Leonard won his second finals MVP to go alongside the one he had claimed with the Spurs when he helped them to the **** le in 2014.

"The narrative of not wanting to come to this city is gone," the team's president, Masai Ujiri, said at that 2018 press conference, speaking to insecure Raptors fans who had watched American players like Vince Carter, Tracy McGrady, and Chris Bosh leave Toronto since the franchise opened its doors in 1995. "We should move past that. Believe in this city. Believe in yourselves … We are proud of who we are."
But even a historic season wasn't enough to convince Leonard to stay north of the border. After a long and contentious free-agency period managed by his uncle, Dennis Robertson, Leonard spurned the reigning champions in favor of his hometown Los Angeles Clippers. "There wasn't as much anger in 2019 as there was with Vince Carter or some of the other guys who left," says Bruce Arthur, who has covered Leonard since 2018 for the Toronto Star. "I think he was given a little bit of special dispensation because he was going home, because he had delivered a **** le, and because I never felt like there was ever a connection outside of Kawhi the basketball player, with Toronto."

Catherine Breed completed a never-before-attempted 900-mile open-water swim along the entire California coast on Sunday.
The 33-year-old, record-setting marathon swimmer from Mill Valley battled chilly, unpredictable Pacific waters for four months. She began the unprecedented expedition at the Oregon border on July 1, and expected to reach Mexican waters in November. Breed finished ahead of schedule.
"For months, I measured my world in the next few miles," Breed said. "Every message from someone following along, every person who came out to cheer, helped me get back in the water."
Along the way, Breed swam past the Golden Gate Bridge, the kelp forests of the Monterey Bay and around Point Conception near Santa Barbara, averaging more than 10 miles a day through notoriously rugged waters. Fans following along on social media and gathering at meeting points celebrated each stroke.
The marathon swim project, dubbed "Swim California," was a complex team operation. In the water, a pacer tossed Breed protein shakes in a thermos for sustenance. Breed and the crew accompanying her in a 52-foot sailboat made land each night before returning to the spot she left off. At times, they were forced to wait for suitable weather to advance through the coast's most remote stretches.

Kaya Klitschko — the 11-year-old daughter of late actress Hayden Panettiere and Wladimir Klitschko — made a rare appearance in court on Thursday, October 8.
According to People, Kaya appeared alongside her father, 50, during a hearing over her late mother's estate.
While Kaya did not appear on camera, the outlet reported that she wore a white T-shirt and was soft-spoken when addressing the judge.
The former heavyweight champion filed a temporary guardianship in September over his ex's estate, as she died without a will. As Kaya was Panettiere's only heir, Wladimir took swift action to protect their daughter.
Kaya is "not a resident of California; this Court has jurisdiction over the guardianship of Kaya's estate because, as such heir, Kaya is entitled to the entirety of the ***** ets subject to Hayden's probate administration in California," Wlad claimed in court documents obtained by TMZ.

A new report suggests that Prince Harry's UK return is complicated by a single issue involving Meghan Markle. The news comes as the **** ss reportedly misses her old life and loved ones in California. After six years in California, the Sussexes moved back to the UK in August 2026 with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
Since returning to Britain, Prince Harry is reportedly carrying the major burden of making sure Meghan Markle feels at home. Per the Daily Express, sources are claiming that ensuring his wife settles in comfortably has become the Duke's biggest concern.
The "Suits" actress has previously spoken openly about her difficult time living in the UK. The couple even went on to make claims about the royal family in interviews and in Harry's memoir, "Spare."
Weighing in on her current situation, royal expert Duncan Larcombe suggests that Markle may now be going through what her husband experienced after relocating to the U.S. In conversation with New Magazine, he said, "Meghan's bound to feel homesick and be missing California and her friends, especially her mum Doria, because she has been the one constant in Meghan's life over the past few years. She'll feel the same way that Harry felt when he was out there."
Larcombe further explained that Prince Harry is under considerable pressure to help his wife settle in this time around. He reportedly wants her to genuinely connect with the UK, which did not happen during their previous stay. The royal commentator noted that the Duke will be keen for her to see Britain as a true home, which will be a significant undertaking.

An expert has explained Prince Harry's decision to shield Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet from public attention. The Duke and ****** ss of Sussex have been fiercely protective of their kids' privacy since their births. To date, the couple has avoided releasing full-face images of the royal children.
A royal expert has offered insight into why Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's children have largely stayed out of view.
According to Royal Editor Matt Wilkinson, the Duke's own upbringing is key to understanding his parenting approach. Having spent his entire childhood in front of the cameras, Harry is now hyper-aware of what constant public attention can do.
Speaking on the A Right Royal podcast, Wilkinson explained, "My understanding of this, or up to a certain stage, is that Harry would much rather his children were not seen. He doesn't want them to be tapped."
As reported by the Daily Express, he further noted that Markle brings a different perspective to the decision. Having had a private California upbringing, she likely wouldn't feel the same instinct to keep them out of sight.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are allegedly "wildly unhappy," but their marriage is not the biggest problem. A royal commentator recently claimed the couple was not happy during their time in California. He also stated the duo has different passions, which strain their relationship.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry reportedly clash over what makes them happy (via The Daily Beast). Founder of Celebrity Intelligence, cultural commentator Dan Wakeford, told The Royalist's Tom Sykes, "The 'wildly unhappy' came not from within their relationship in their life right now. It was their life in America they were wildly unhappy about."
"They were wildly unhappy with how things had gone, and they hadn't gone how they expected. I don't think they could find—think of a way out of that. And so it's very interesting," he added.
He further said that while the return to the UK has made Harry happier, the same is not true for Meghan Markle, a Los Angeles native. He explained, "The problem with this couple is you have two people with completely different goals in life and geographical, like, homes."
Wakeford said that according to his sources, the Sussexes are "very much in love," but they conflict on what true happiness looks like for either of them. "They're not on the same page with where they're going in life, whether that's living in England or living in America, whether that is philanthropy or a glamorous Hollywood lifestyle brand," he said.

Meghan Markle is sticking it out in the U.K. with Prince Harry but with an increasingly heavy heart, per a source, who says she's counting the days down till her next visit back to Montecito and struggling more than ever with her new reality.
"Meghan is doing her best to keep her chin up and put on a happy face for Harry because he's been begging her to cheer up and have some patience," says Star's source. "But all the pub lunches in the world aren't going to change the fact that she is desperately homesick already."
The **** ss of Sussex, 45, was born and raised in California and it's where she and Harry, 42, settled down after stepping down as senior working members of the royal family in 2020.
"She misses their property in Montecito, she misses going to the beach, she misses her friends," reveals the source. "She's so grateful that her best friend [Kelly Zajfen] came out with her kids and husband for a visit to try and help her get through this transition, but it's not as though she can stay forever."

Meghan Markle is reportedly finding it difficult to watch Kate Middleton and Prince William emerge as Hollywood's latest favorites. According to a source, the ****** ss of Sussex feels the royal couple has stepped into what she considers her territory. The insider also shared details about how Meghan is reportedly handling the shift in the spotlight.
Meghan Markle is reportedly envious of Prince William and Kate Middleton's warm Hollywood welcome, according to a source. An insider told Closer that the shift has reportedly struck a nerve with Meghan. "For her, it's especially hard to take because Hollywood is her world," the insider said. According to the outlet, the source added that the ****** ss still has plenty of career ambitions she hopes to pursue.
The insider also pointed to the longstanding comparisons between Meghan and Kate, which date back to the ****** ss' entry into the royal family. Seeing the Princess of Wales walk the red carpet alongside Tom Cruise during the recent premiere of "Digger" has reportedly been "triggering a lot of jealousy" for Meghan.
The ****** ss grew up in Hollywood and spent years as an actress on the US legal drama "Suits," where she played Rachel Zane for seven seasons. She left the series in 2018 ahead of her wedding to Prince Harry.
After the couple stepped back from royal duties in 2020, they settled in Montecito, California, and signed a production deal with Netflix. They went on to release the docuseries "Harry & Meghan," while Meghan also fronted the lifestyle series "With Love, Meghan."

Paramount completed its $111bn acquisition of Warner Bros Discovery on Tuesday, consolidating some of the world's most recognizable studios and news outlets after a bidding war with Netflix and months of legal turmoil.
The new company, now called Skydance, will have David Ellison, the son of a billionaire tech mogul, at its helm, with the former CEO of Mattel, Ynon Kreiz, as co-executive. They will oversee Paramount and Warner Bros' movie studios, HBO Max, CBS News and CNN.
"Today is a historic day, not just for Skydance but for our entire industry," Ellison said in a statement. "From the start, our ambition was to bring these two storied studios together and create a stronger competitor, with the talent, resources, and reach to tell great stories in every genre, on every platform, for audiences everywhere. Now that ambition is a reality."
The consolidation of Paramount and Warner Bros combines two of the last five legacy studios in Hollywood, which includes Disney, Universal Pictures and Sony Pictures.
Though the merger was approved in June, California, New York and 10 other states sued Paramount over concerns that the move would "extinguish" competition and lead to fewer movie theaters in theaters and at home.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could eventually reconnect with Prince William and Kate Middleton for the sake of their children, a royal expert has claimed. The Sussexes returned to the UK in August, and their move could give Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet more opportunities to build relationships with their royal cousins.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle ended their six-year stay in California in August and moved to a non-royal home outside London. The couple reportedly moved partly so Archie and Lilibet could attend school in the UK. However, they have not yet publicly reunited with other members of the Royal Family since returning.
Royal expert Lynn Carratt believes that could eventually change. Speaking exclusively to The Express US, Carratt said a reunion between the Sussexes and the wider Royal Family could become "inevitable." She suggested Harry and Meghan may also want their children to understand more about their family history and royal background.
Carratt said Archie and Lilibet's ages could prompt Harry to reconsider his relationship with Prince William. She noted that as the children grow up, they may ask about their cousins and why they rarely see them. She added that George, Charlotte, and Louis could become part of those conversations as Archie and Lilibet learn more about their father's family. "Who are their cousins? Where do they live? Why don't they see very much of them?" she said.
Harry and William have been estranged for several years, and their relationship worsened after Harry published his memoir, Spare. In the book, Harry made several claims about his relationship with William.

Costco is famously rooted in Washington state, with its headquarters in Kirkland (which is also the name of its signature brand) and its first official store operating out of Seattle's industrial SoDo neighborhood. But did you know that the wholesale club behemoth can trace its true origins much further south, and to a famous connection? As it turns out, a line can be drawn from Costco to Howard Hughes, the famous movie producer, aviator, and eccentric business tycoon.
Among his many properties, Hughes once owned a rather large warehouse in San Diego, California, that was eventually turned into an early wholesale store called Price Club. It went on to merge with Costco in the 1990s, forever cementing the Costco-Hughes connection. Sure, it may not be the strongest celebrity-Costco connection ever, and Hughes himself never set foot inside one of the chain's stores, but it's one that Costco can be proud to have as part of its storied history nonetheless.

While it's unclear exactly how long Howard Hughes' San Diego building served as a hangar, or if any remodeling was done prior to its wholesale club days, what is known is that it reopened as Price Club in the summer of 1976 after being purchased by local businessman Sol Price and his son, Robert. It looks pretty similar today compared to old photos of the building in its Price Club days and as an aviation hangar, with its vaulted ceilings and massive walls. The coolest part though? If you're a history buff in San Diego, you can actually go shop at the Costco that once housed Hughes' airplanes (assuming you're also a Costco member, of course). The store sits on Morena Boulevard, at the exact same address as its preceding incarnations.

A source claims that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are not seeing eye to eye on an important decision. The news comes as the Sussexes are settling back into life in the UK following their return after six years. However, the transition has not been entirely smooth due to security concerns regarding their children's schools and King Charles' confirmation of their status as private citizens.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly "not on the same page" regarding a crucial element of their move back to the UK.
Adding to their existing challenges, the Sussexes may now be facing another disagreement. As reported by Heat World, the pair are divided over their Christmas plans. A source told the publication, "With the kids in school, they can't keep bouncing between California and the UK whenever they feel like it, so they've got some difficult decisions coming up because they are not on the same page."
The insider further shared that the Duke wants to remain in Britain for the holidays, as Christmas is the time he cherishes most. On the other hand, the "Suits" star is reportedly missing home and longing to be with her mother, Doria Ragland.
They stated, "[Meghan] misses her friends, she misses her day-to-day routine and she really misses her mom. She talks to Doria every day, usually multiple times but it's not the same as spending every weekend with her."
