The Envelope Drama Roundtable Featuring Bella Ramsey, Patrick Stewart, Christina Ricci, Jeremy Strong, Helen Mirren, and Diego Luna

For its size, the Coachella Valley has a relatively large water allocation.

Though its population is much smaller than the Las Vegas area, it gets more imported water.
https://www.latimes.com/environment/story/2023-01-29/colorado-river-in-crisis-desert-lakes-and-golf-courses


The entrepreneurs and boosters who decades ago built the Coachella Valley’s reputation as a playground destination saw the appeal of developments awash in water, made possible by wells drawing on the aquifer and a steady stream of Colorado River water.

https://www.latimes.com/environment/story/2023-01-29/colorado-river-in-crisis-desert-lakes-and-golf-courses


The Southwest has for years depended too heavily on the Colorado River, taking more than its flows can support. The river’s water-generating heart in the Rocky Mountains has begun to fail.

 It can no longer withstand the unbridled thirst of the arid West.

Gavin Newsom had the backing of the Getty family and other prominent Bay Area donors, but when invited on Bravo — home of “The Real Housewives” — in 2016 he singled out Girardi’s largesse, calling him “one of the major donors in California politics.” https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-09-22/tom-girardi-gave-millions-to-politicians-was-the-money-stolen-from-clients

“Wow. And does he give to you?” asked Andy Cohen, host of the talk show “Watch What Happens Live.”

“He has been extraordinarily generous — so she is my favorite Real Housewife,” a grinning Newsom said of Erika Girardi.
https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-09-22/tom-girardi-gave-millions-to-politicians-was-the-money-stolen-from-clients

Nathan Ballard, a former Newsom advisor and Democratic strategist, denied that the lawyer had any real clout with the governor: “Girardi was not in Gavin Newsom’s inner circle by any stretch.”
https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-09-22/tom-girardi-gave-millions-to-politicians-was-the-money-stolen-from-clients

Ballard, who worked with Newsom for years, said he saw donors in the party who gave less than Girardi command more respect and attention because of their sustained and deep interest in its causes. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-09-22/tom-girardi-gave-millions-to-politicians-was-the-money-stolen-from-clients

“Everything’s year to year,” #UCLA's Chip Kelly says. “We don’t really look at it as recruiting anymore, we look at it as team-building, so how do we build the best team for the 2022 season and that’s a combination of high school [players] and transfers.” https://www.latimes.com/sports/ucla/story/2022-08-09/chip-kelly-ucla-football-explains-his-transfer-heavy-recruiting

Ukraine's track and field athletes are in Oregon for the world track and field championships. Their acting federation president is on the front lines back home.



https://www.latimes.com/sports/story/2022-07-14/world-track-field-championships-ukraine-athletes-war-russia


Yevhen Pronin, acting president of Ukraine’s track and field federation, logs into the Zoom meeting from his tent near the front lines, the country’s yellow and blue flag in the background. https://www.latimes.com/sports/story/2022-07-14/world-track-field-championships-ukraine-athletes-war-russia


Pronin took over the federation in November on an interim basis. Since February, Pronin has helped arrange evacuations through Europe for 320 track and field athletes, a number that did not include families or coaches. https://www.latimes.com/sports/story/2022-07-14/world-track-field-championships-ukraine-athletes-war-russia


Pronin and his compatriots seek victory on two fronts, both militarily and symbolically. He and other Ukrainian officials and athletes believe there is power in claiming territory, whether around battered cities or atop a track and field awards podium. https://www.latimes.com/sports/story/2022-07-14/world-track-field-championships-ukraine-athletes-war-russia


Less than a month after her hometown, Dnipro, was shelled, 2 weeks after a 3-day, 1,200-mile escape through Moldova and Romania, high jumper Yaroslava Mahuchikh won the world indoor title.   


“We protect our country on the track,” she said.

“I still don’t know what to say [to Ukrainian competitors] or how to look into their eyes,” wrote Russian Maria Lasitskene, the Olympic high jump champion in Tokyo, in a letter to IOC president Thomas Bach, criticizing the ban on her country’s athletes. https://www.latimes.com/sports/story/2022-07-14/world-track-field-championships-ukraine-athletes-war-russia


A bipartisan group of senators on Sunday announced it had reached a framework for enacting modest gun restrictions while beefing up school security and enhancing mental health treatment.
https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2022-06-12/senate-bargainers-announce-outline-of-gun-violence-agreement

If enacted and signed by President Biden, the measure would become the most significant piece of firearms legislation produced by Congress in nearly three decades.
https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2022-06-12/senate-bargainers-announce-outline-of-gun-violence-agreement

The proposal falls far short of the gun safety reforms Biden has lobbied Congress to pass and is far less sweeping than the comprehensive package that advanced the House last week.
