Progressive city council member Nithya Raman has advanced to a November runoff against Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, setting up an unexpected matchup between two Democrats and former political allies to run the struggling city of nearly 4 million.
The outcome means Spencer Pratt, a Republican and former reality television personality from “The Hills,” is out of the running. His candidacy had drawn national attention because of his celebrity and willingness to challenge liberal governance in a city dominated by Democrats, but the buzz did not translate into enough votes to make the runoff.

Israel said Sunday that Iran launched missiles at it in the first such bombardment since a fragile ceasefire took effect in early April, further complicating mediation efforts for a deal to end the war.
Iran’s state broadcaster confirmed the missile launches and cited the armed forces as saying that “if Israel responds to Iranian attacks or does not stop its attacks on Lebanon, Iranian attacks will continue.”

President Donald Trump is dismissing the idea that launching the war with Iran this year betrayed his refrain of “No new wars” that he made repeatedly as he campaigned again for the White House.
Trump, in an interview that aired Sunday on NBC's “Meet the Press,” said he “didn't guarantee” there would be no wars if he were back in office.
"First of all, I didn’t guarantee no war. Why would I have built the strongest military in the world?" Trump said.

The U.S. House voted Wednesday to halt U.S. military action against Iran, digging in to defy President Donald Trump over the three-month-long war.
The final vote was 215-208, with four Republicans joining Democrats in support of ending the war.
The war powers resolution from the House will not immediately stop the war, but it will provide a symbolic if not legal step against further military action.
It now goes to the Senate, where four Republican senators last month joined Democrats in advancing a similar measure to curtail the U.S. campaign against Iran. The Senate has yet to take a final vote to approve or reject its own war powers resolution.

President Donald Trump on Friday held a meeting in the Situation Room to discuss a potential deal that could lead to an end to the war with Iran.
Former Attorney General Pam Bondi appeared before the House Oversight Committee on Friday after being subpoenaed over the Department of Justice's handling of the so-called Epstein Files. Rep.

The Trump administration’s announcement that people who want to apply for green cards must leave the U.S. and apply in their home countries in most circumstances sent shockwaves through some immigrant communities.
Immigration lawyers say this new policy is a departure from 70 years of practice which allowed people to file for their green cards while remaining in the U.S.

Early voting attention has focused on the midterm elections, with a Senate runoff in Texas and nationwide battles over congressional redistricting.
But behind the scenes, many 2028 presidential candidates have been jockeying.
The latest survey from Emerson College shows who voters prefer at this point in the campaign — though results should be taken with a grain of salt, given how far out the 2028 presidential election is.
