The legislation sponsored by state Attorney General Rob Bonta is necessary to bolster safety for children online, supporters say, but industry officials vow to fight the measure and others like it under the First Amendment. Warning labels for social media gained swift bipartisan support from dozens of attorneys general, including Bonta, after U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy called on Congress to establish the requirements earlier this year, saying social media is a contributing factor in the mental health crisis among young people.

Next year, they hope a reinforced staff can be the key to defending their title. To that end, the Dodgers made a major move Tuesday night, agreeing to a five-year, $182-million contract with two-time Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell pending a physical, according to multiple people with knowledge of the situation not authorized to speak publicly. The deal, which includes a $52-million signing bonus and about $60 million in deferred salary, was first signaled Tuesday night by Snell, who posted to Instagram a photoshopped image of himself in a Dodgers jersey. The caption read "LA" with an eyeballs emoji. Suddenly, a year after the Dodgers added frontline arms Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Tyler Glasnow for more than $1 billion, their latest addition was clear. Once again, they had flung their wallet wide open. Once again, they had made a blockbuster addition to their starting rotation. Snell, 31, has been one of the top left-handers in the game during his nine-year career. Though he has been an All-Star only once, the 6-foot-4 Seattle native won the American League Cy Young with the Tampa Bay Rays in 2018, the National League Cy Young with the San Diego Padres in 2023, and has amassed a 3.19 earned-run average and 1,368 strikeouts over 211 career starts. Originally drafted in the first round by Tampa Bay in 2011 — when Andrew Friedman, the Dodgers' president of baseball operations, was running the Rays' front office — Snell has flashed some of the majors' best stuff in the last decade. He pairs his mid-90s fastball with a curveball, changeup and slider — all three of which registered whiff rates of 44% or higher last season. He has averaged 11.2 strikeouts per nine innings in his career, the highest mark in major league history. And he has a track record of postseason success, with a 3.33 ERA in 12 career playoff appearances. Durability and consistency have been issues. Snell has pitched more than 130 innings only twice, eclipsing 180 in each of his two Cy Young seasons. And while he has posted a sub-3.40 ERA in a season five times, he also has suffered ERAs above 4.00 three times. Still, when Snell is right, there are few better pitchers in the game. And even though the Dodgers managed to piece together just enough on the mound in October to win a championship, they entered this offseason hoping to shore up their staff with an established, high-caliber arm exactly like him. The Dodgers made a play for Snell late in his free agency last offseason, when his market failed to materialize as expected coming off his Cy Young in San Diego. However, the Giants ultimately landed his services with a two-year, $62-million deal that included an opt-out this winter, which Snell exercised. Snell's season didn't begin well. He missed most of spring training after signing in mid-March. He had 9.51 ERA at the end of June, having made only six starts in the first three months because of multiple stints on the injured list. At one point, he seemed likely to exercise his 2025 option and try to rebuild his stock this coming year. But then, Snell went on a tear during the second half, going 5-0 with an 1.23 ERA over his final 14 outings — including a no-hitter against the Cincinnati Reds on Aug. 2. That run reestablished Snell as one of the top arms on the market, alongside Corbin Burnes and Max Fried. And it led to a signing Tuesday that, given the Dodgers' flirtation with Snell last offseason, felt like a long time coming, even though the Boston Red Sox, Baltimore Orioles and New York Yankees reportedly were making a push for Snell before he agreed with the Dodgers. The Dodgers hoped they had solved their pitching issues with their offseason additions last year, when they signed Yamamoto to a record $325-million contract and traded for Glasnow and signed him to a $136.5-million extension. Ohtani was unable to pitch this past season while recovering from a revision to his Tommy John surgery but is projected to join the 2025 rotation. During the season, though, Yamamoto missed several months because of a shoulder injury and Glasnow was lost late in the year to an elbow injury as the rotation crumbled, leaving the team with just three healthy starters — including trade-deadline acquisition Jack Flaherty — entering the playoffs. Thanks to a deep bullpen and potent lineup, it still was enough to win the World Series. But as the team looked ahead to next year, when it is expected to use a six-man rotation as Ohtani resumes pitching, adding another starter became a clear need. And Snell became the club's most obvious target. The Dodgers still could add more pitching this winter. Flaherty and Walker Buehler remain free agents and have voiced their desire to stay with the team. Japanese star Roki Sasaki is expected to sign with an MLB team in January, with the Dodgers seen as a likely landing spot for the 23-year-old flamethrower. But as it stands, the Dodgers will have Ohtani, Yamamoto, Glasnow and Snell headlining their rotation. They will have Tony Gonsolin, Dustin May, Landon Knack, Bobby Miller and Clayton Kershaw (who still is expected to re-sign) serving as depth. And they should have a greater margin for error in case more injuries arise, after making Snell the latest nine-figure pitching acquisition to their increasingly star-studded staff. ©2024 Los Angeles Times.

F-16 Sortie Tests Writer’s Mettle On Supersonic Training MissionSANTA CLARA — Brock Purdy is charged with distributing the ball to the 49ers’ still-plentiful array of offensive weapons. On Tuesday, he threw disgruntled wide receiver Deebo Samuel his full support. “I want to get Deebo the ball every play if I could,” Purdy said. “I want to have him break all the records as best as possible. I want Deebo to do Deebo things, and we all do in this building.” Thing is, Samuel’s sub-par production this season has mirrored the 49ers’ rocky road to a 6-7 record entering Thursday night’s visit by the Rams (7-6). “Not struggling at all just not getting the ball!!!!!!!” Samuel wrote Monday in a since-deleted post on the social media platform X. The timing off that complaint was peculiar. The 49ers had just shaken a three-game losing streak with a 38-13 win over the Chicago Bears, a game Samuel acknowledged was their best offensive showing and most complementary outing. But the 49ers did so with minimal production again from Samuel, who had two catches for 22 yards and five carries for 13 yards. “You read what you read. A little frustrated, for sure,” Samuel said Tuesday at his locker before practice. General manager John Lynch asked 49ers fans to give Samuel “some grace,” and coach Kyle Shanahan also threw support behind Samuel’s gripes. “Deebo and I talk every day so I understand Deebo saying that,” Shanahan said. “Deebo wants to help us out, and the only way he is helping us is getting the ball more. And we’d like to get him the ball more.” Samuel, a two-time captain, has scored just two touchdowns (Week 1 run, Week 5 reception) after 12 last regular season; he had 14 in 2021. He missed the 49ers’ Week 3 loss in Los Angeles because of a calf injury. Three years removed from his All-Pro breakout season, Samuel’s production has taken a nosedive this season, even though he is getting the ball. His 72 touches (40 receptions for 533 yards, 32 carries for 92 yards) are second to only now-injured running back Jordan Mason’s 164. In an X post 10 minutes after complaining about his opportunities, Samuel wrote : “Just cause I voice my opinions don’t mean I’m hating on any of my teammates!!” Jauan Jennings (57 catches, 774 yards, six touchdowns) and tight end George Kittle (56-800-8) have seized more on their targets from Brock Purdy, while 2022-23 mainstays Brandon Aiyuk and Christian McCaffrey have missed most of the season injured. “We’d always love things to stay in-house,” Shanahan said. “It’s probably why I don’t go on social media: I’d get worked up if I was reading stuff all the time. Is it a distraction in our building? No.” “He’s one of my best friends on this team. I absolutely love Deebo and what he’s done for me,” Purdy said. “He’s right: he’s doing great right now with what we ask of him the offense. He’s not struggling. Like Ricky (Pearsall) or Aiyuk last year a little bit, there are moments through a season where guys just don’t get the ball, depending on defensive schemes and taking guys away.” Samuel has flourished in the 49ers’ rivalry against the Rams, including three years ago when his “wide back” persona emerged as he scored on both a run and a reception to lead the victorious 49ers out of a 3-5 rut and toward the playoffs. That dual-threat duty is not such an inventive concept anymore, however. “They’re not surprised anymore,” Samuel said. “We’ve been doing it almost three years now, so you’ve got a 50-50 chance whether I’m in the backfield getting a handoff or anything along those lines. They have a glimpse of what’s going on. ... There’s three or four (defenders awaiting) no matter who has the ball.” “Deebo has created such a high standard, the things he’s done, the innovation which we’ve created things for Deebo. That’s part of the problem,” said Lynch, noting that multiple teams now deploy Samuel-esque, dual-threat players that no longer surprise defenses. “... That frustration mounts. But he’s made so many plays for us, I think we need to give this guy some grace and bring him along, because we need him the rest of the way,” Lynch added. “We need him Thursday night. Deebo’s a big part of this team. We’re alright. We can all learn from different situations and a lot of things in the world these days that you can get caught up in.” Some of Samuel’s most productive efforts this season have come as a kick returner (11 returns for 333 yards, including six returns in their Dec. 1 loss at Buffalo). “We’ve got a lot of big football to play and he’ll be a big part of our season moving forward,” Lynch said. As for next season, Samuel carries a $16 million mark on the salary cap. The 49ers restructured his contract in March, so he would incur a $31.6 million hit if he’s released or traded before June 1; after that date, an exit would count $11 million in 2025 and $21 million in ’26. GUERENDO IDLING Running back Isaac Guerendo’s foot sprain Sunday kept him out of Tuesday’s light walkthrough and it’s uncertain whether he’ll make a second straight start. Guerendo ran for 78 yards and two touchdowns, and he had 50 yards on two catches, before exiting and bequeathing the backfield to Patrick Taylor Jr. Guerendo got clocked at 20.2 mph on a 30-yard, second-quarter carry that was the NFL’s fastest by a running back in Week 14. GREENLAW UPDATE The 49ers remain reluctant to declare whether linebacker Dre Greenlaw will make his season debut Thursday night, the date pegged for his comeback from an Achilles tear in the Super Bowl. Shanahan said there’s been no setback, that he merely wants to talk first to Greenlaw and see how the next two days go. OTHER INJURY UPDATES Defensive end Nick Bosa (oblique, hip) and left tackle Trent Williams (ankle) will officially miss the fourth week of practice, albeit this week’s only consisting of Tuesday’s walk-through that began at 5:10 p.m. Shanahan has not indicated whether they’ll miss a fourth straight game. While left guard Aaron Banks practiced for the first time since a Nov. 24 concussion in Green Bay, guard Ben Bartch (ankle) did not practice and is expected to go on Injured Reserve before Thursday’s kickoff. Limited were defensive end Yetur Gross-Matos, safety Malik Mustapha, and linebackers Dee Winters and Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles. HARGRAVE MOVEMENT Defensive tackle Javon Hargrave’s bloated contract was restructured to lessen the 49ers’ financial restraints next year. While that could stage his potential release after two seasons, as pointed out by OverTheCap.com, Hargrave is also more affordable to keep, seeing how his 2025 salary was chopped from $19.9 million to $2.1 million, and his salary cap mark fell from $28 million to $10.3 million. “The plan for him is to be a Niner,” Shanahan said, deferring business matters to the front office staff. “The mechanics of contract stuff, those are things I don’t look into until after the offseason.” Hargrave, 31, has been on injured reserve since tearing a biceps in the Sept. 22 loss at Los Angeles. He made the Pro Bowl last season and totaled seven sacks in his first year with the 49ers. Jordan Elliott replaced him in this season’s lineup next to Maliek Collins, with rookie Evan Anderson, Kevin Givens, Kalia Davis and Khalil Davis also in the interior rotation.

Prosecutors from the Manhattan district attorney's office are urging a New York judge not to throw out President-elect Donald Trump's criminal conviction in the hush money case, offering a variety of suggestions on how the case could proceed without interfering with his presidential duties. One suggestion was for the judge to assure Trump that he will be spared jail time in the case, which could help alleviate his "concerns" while he's in office, they said in the filing made public Tuesday. But, they argued, there's no reason to dismiss the case or vacate the May 2024 verdict. The “overwhelming evidence of defendant’s guilt and the critical importance of preserving public confidence in the criminal justice system, among many other factors, weigh heavily against dismissal,” the prosecutors from DA Alvin Bragg’s office contended. They also knocked Trump's claim that the case should be "immediately" dismissed because he's already protected by presidential immunity . "President-elect immunity does not exist. And even after the inauguration, defendant’s temporary immunity as the sitting President will still not justify the extreme remedy of discarding the jury’s unanimous guilty verdict and wiping out the already-completed phases of this criminal proceeding," the filing said. "[N]o principle of immunity precludes further proceedings before defendant’s inauguration. And even if judgment has not been entered at the time of defendant’s inauguration, there is no legal barrier to deferring sentencing until after defendant’s term of office concludes," it said. In a statement, Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung called the filing "a pathetic attempt to salvage the remains of an unconstitutional and politically motivated hoax." Trump's attorneys have argued he already has immunity because there “is no material difference between President Trump’s current status after his overwhelming victory in the national election and that of a sitting President following inauguration.” They say the indictment against him on felony criminal charges and his subsequent jury conviction should be thrown out on immunity grounds. Judge Juan Merchan indefinitely postponed Trump's sentencing last month so both sides could present their arguments on the issue. In Tuesday's filing, the district attorney's office said, "At most, defendant should receive temporary accommodations during his presidency to prevent this criminal case from meaningfully interfering with his official decision-making." Prosecutors presented a number of possible ways forward, including staying Trump's sentencing until after he's out of office. "To be sure, the People do not dispute that presidential immunity requires accommodation during a President’s time in office. But the extreme remedy of dismissing the indictment and vacating the jury verdict is not warranted in light of multiple alternative accommodations that would fully address the concerns raised by presidential immunity," their filing said. A stay, they said, would exempt Trump "from any immediate obligations in this case during his time in office, while at the same time respecting the public interest in upholding the rule of law and preserving the meaningful aspects of the criminal process that have already taken place." The DA's office also noted that Trump has already said he'd appeal any sentence, and that in New York, "it is routine for appeals to be decided years after sentencing even without a formal stay of proceedings." Prosecutors also noted that Trump has already gotten the sentencing postponed for several months. "Here, defendant can hardly complain about a delay in sentencing when he has affirmatively sought such delay — both before and after his reelection," the filing said. The judge could also alleviate some of Trump's worries by deciding he won't sentence him to any time behind bars, prosecutors said. The filing said "many of defendant’s concerns stem from the possibility that he will face 'potential incarceration,'" the filing said. "Here, however, because defendant has no prior criminal convictions and was convicted of Class E felonies, this Court is not required to impose a sentence of incarceration at all, and could even impose an unconditional discharge." That type of "limitation on the range of available sentences would further diminish any impact on defendant’s presidential decision making without going so far as to discard the indictment and jury verdict altogether," the filing said. The DA also presented a novel alternative, suggesting Merchan could use a mechanism known as abatement that is practiced in Alabama and some other states when a defendant dies before sentencing. Under the so-called 'Alabama' rule, "when a defendant dies after he is found guilty, but before the conviction becomes final through the appellate process, the court places in the record of the case a notation to the effect that the conviction removed the presumption of innocence but was neither affirmed nor reversed on appeal because the defendant died," the DA's office explained, saying it essentially "abates the criminal proceedings without vacating the underlying conviction or dismissing the indictment." Although abatement is not currently used in New York, prosecutors argued it presents a solution where, as here, there are concerns about finality and punishment. It's unclear when the judge will rule on the motions to dismiss. Trump was convicted in May on 34 counts of falsifying business records related to a hush money payment his then-lawyer Michael Cohen made to adult film star Stormy Daniels in the closing days of the 2016 election. Daniels claims she had a sexual encounter with Trump in 2006, which he denies. In their court filings, Trump's attorneys said the DA should follow the lead of special counsel Jack Smith, who moved to dismiss his two federal criminal cases against Trump following his election win. The DA's filing noted there are significant differences between their case and Smith's cases, including that Smith's cases had not gone to trial. Cheung said, "This lawless case should have never been brought, and the Constitution demands that it be immediately dismissed, as President Trump must be allowed to continue the Presidential Transition process, and execute the vital duties of the presidency, unobstructed by the remains of this, or any other, Witch Hunt."

It's been a long road back to the highest levels of motorsport for Canadian driver Robert Wickens. Six years after he was paralyzed in a violent wreck, Wickens will again be behind the wheel against some of the best drivers in North America. Wickens, from Guelph, Ont., was named the newest driver for DXDT Racing earlier this week, moving the 35-year-old up to IMSA GTD competition for 2025, the highest class on the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship series. His promotion was made possible by a new hand control braking system created by Bosch Electronics, with help from GM Motorsports and Corvette Racing/Pratt Miller. "It's not going to be easy but I wanted to get to the highest levels of motorsport again because, frankly, that's where I was when I was injured," said Wickens, who crashed at Pocono Raceway in 2018 during IndyCar's ABC Supply 500. "But not only that, I want to prove to myself and other generations of people with disabilities that you can really do anything. "Maybe you're having a hard time getting back to your place of work after a life-altering accident and — whatever your discipline, it doesn't even have to be athletics — but I know it's possible as long as you align yourself with a strong support system." For Wickens, that's been his wife Karli Wickens, his family and, in his professional life, organizations like Bosch and GM. Wickens's crash left him with a thoracic spinal fracture, a neck fracture, tibia and fibula fractures to both legs, fractures in both hands, a fractured right forearm, a fractured elbow, four fractured ribs, a pulmonary contusion, and an indeterminate spinal injury that combined to make him a paraplegic. As he has slowly recovered some movement in his legs, Wickens has eased back into motor racing. He drove the parade lap of the 2019 Honda Indy Toronto, competed in the IndyCar iRacing Challenge during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, and then in January 2022 it was announced he would drive in the Michelin Pilot Challenge for Bryan Herta Autosport. He and co-driver Mark Wilkins won twice in the Michelin Pilot Challenge's TCR category with three podiums in 2022. In 2023 the pairing didn't win, but they reached the podium seven times to earn the TCR championship. All of Wickens's post-accident cars have been fitted with hand controls. Those conventional systems rely on paddles around the steering wheel that activate pneumatics that then press the foot pedals. Hand controls like that are acceptable for regular road vehicles and even lower levels of motorsports but in the highest classes, like IMSA GTD where cars top out at more than 280 kilometres, the lag between the driver toggling the paddle and the car responding is unacceptably slow. That's where the Bosch electronic system comes in, with the controls linked directly to the car's braking system, removing the pneumatics as an intermediary. "When you hit the brakes to slow the car down for each corner that was always a big challenge for me where (with) the Bosch electronic system, the latency is milliseconds not tenths of a second," said Wickens. "It's basically as accurate as I would be if I was an able-bodied driver wanting to apply the brake. "Honestly, it's just better in every facet imaginable. It's just been a true blessing." Advances in physical rehabilitation from spinal cord injuries as well as the ongoing development of vehicle technology has made Wickens's return to competitive motorsport possible. "I'm very fortunate in the timing of my paralysis and my career," Wickens said Wednesday from Tampa, Fla. "If this was even a decade ago we'd be having a very different conversation today." The IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship has four classes of vehicles: two sports prototype categories and two grand tourer classes. GTD is considered the highest of the four classes because each team must have at least a silver or bronze driver and more than one platinum-rated driver on a team is prohibited. "I want to win," said Wickens. "I think the big thing for me on this journey back was I wanted to race again because I truly felt like I could still win. "I want to raise awareness for spinal cord injury and disability, not by just being a participant, but by being the guy. I want to win races, fight for podiums, win championships, every time I'm sitting in the car." Wickens said he won't just be a role model for people living with paralysis or other mobility disabilities, but the technology his car will employ in 2025 will likely become commercially available for use in road vehicles. "Motorsports and the automotive racing industry were founded to be a proving ground for everyday automotive vehicles," he said. "From there you make road cars and road safety better. "Hopefully we can provide the technology and have regularly available components that can make any race car accessible for anyone that needs hand controls or any other form of disability."

GTA 6 Insider Would Be “Shocked” If Rockstar Hits 2025 Release DateMORGAN ROGERS was robbed of the last-gasp goal which would have ended Aston Villa’s six-match winless run. But instead, the new England international was denied by ref Jesus Gil Manzano who ruled that Diego Carlos had fouled Juventus keeper Michele Di Gregorio. 5 Morgan Rogers thought he had scored the winner Credit: Getty 5 But the goal was disallowed for a foul on goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio in the build-up Credit: Getty Rogers netted with virtually the last kick of the match after the Juve gloveman had spilled a Youri Tielemans free-kick. But Spanish referee Manzano, who had enraged Villa Park for much of the night, ended up in danger of sparking a riot. So even matches have now passed since Villa last won a game of football but there is not remotely any sense of the Holte End losing faith in Unai Emery . It is Emery who propelled Villa onto European football’s grandest stage and Emery who will surely still lead them into the Champions League knock-out stage. It took a miraculous save from Emi Martinez - newly-crowned as the world’s best goalkeeper for a second successive year - to secure a draw against Juventus. The feline gymnastics of the big Argentinian somehow kept out a second-half header from Francisco Conceicao by the slimmest of margins. And while Lucas Digne had hit the crossbar for Villa with a first-half free-kick, Emery’s side were left grateful for a point as they entertained Italian royalty on a bitter Birmingham night. There is little doubt that Villa will qualify for the knock-outs on their first adventure in Europe’s elite competition for 42 years - it is just a matter of whether they reach the last-16 directly, or whether will need to contest a play-off round.

But for Villa’s supporters, it is still a case of being damned happy just to be here. 'Serious problems at PGMOL' Ex-Prem ref blasts VAR after baffling decisions at Liverpool and Wolves Villa only managed to halt a four-match losing run in Saturday’s 2-2 home draw with struggling Crystal Palace and the demands of fighting on two major fronts is almost invariably a problem. But despite a frustrating stalemate, Villa are still living the dream. Villa hadn’t won in six matches in all competitions since their last Champions League home clash, against Bologna. But these European nights at Villa Park have held a proper sense of occasion, assaults on the senses - fireworks, giant banners, songs of praise cranked up to full volume. - and Emery’s men have thrived on the theatre of it all. They have been handed home matches against three former champions of Europe - Bayern Munich , Juve and later Celtic. And while this is nothing like the star-spangled Juve side which won here in 1983, with Paolo Rossi, Michel Platini and Zbigniew Boniek - they are club which always carry an aura. Supporters of many clubs might moan about the bloated nature of the new Champions League format, with its skyscraper-tall league table - but not Villa’s. This was the sort of night when Jack Frost nips at brass monkeys although Emi Martinez warmed a few cockles by parading his Yashin Trophy after being voted the world’s No 1 keeper for a second straight year. Most of the early heat was aimed at ref Jesus Gil Manzano - who booked Yori Tielemans and Leon Bailey inside the first 12 minutes while failing to punish the visitors for similar fouls. Juve looked exactly what they are - a side unbeaten in Serie A, but who had contested four goalless draws already this season. The Italians were tight in their parking, neat in their passing and streetwise in their roiling around. 5 Aston Villa were denied a last-minute winner Villa did have their moments though - Pau Torres glancing a header wide of the near post from a Boubacar Kamara corner then Watkins having a shoit beaten away by Michele Di Gregorio after a cute Kamara through-ball. From the resulting corner, Matty Cash had a thumping shot blocked but Juve broke rapidly and Timothy Weah - son of Ballon d’Or winner George - blazed over Martinez’s crossbar. Torres was booked for a late one on Weah but the biggest roar of the first half arrived when Manzano finally cautioned a Juve player - Pierre Kalulu for fouling Watkins on the edge of the area. Lucas Digne curled the free-kick against the crossbar but after the break, Juve began to take a grip on proceedings. The away supporters were howling for a penalty after Torres handled in the box but Manzano and his VAR were unimpressed. Soon, a Teun Koppmeiners corner found its way to the back post where Conceicao’s downward looked certain to have broken the deadlock - until you remembered the identity of Villa’s goalkeeper. Martinez bent his body backwards at an improbable angle and, with a big right hand, scooped the ball to safety. Goal-line technology footage showed that the Argentinian had completed his task with millimetres to spare Conceicao header at far post Martinez bent his body and scooped off line Koppmeiners, sparking another chorus of ‘Emi Martinez, the world’s number one’. Heartened by their escape, Villa got on the front foot and Bailey cut-back for John McGinn, whose shot was scrambled off the line. With 13 minutes remaining, Emery sent for Jhon Duran - the sub who can’t spell his own first name but cannot stop scoring from the bench.
