Sinopsis

LA officials are increasing law enforcement presence on the county’s Metro system following a spike in violence over the last few weeks.  Iran’s president Ebrahim Raisi died in a helicopter crash on Sunday. His death leaves two major roles to fill in Iran’s regime. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito blamed his wife for displaying a "stop the steal" symbol at their home after the January 6 insurrection. It's just the latest example of a justice wading into partisan politics.  The LA City Council declared May 19 “Father Greg Boyle Day,” and Joe Biden recently awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Boyle for his anti-gang violence work. KCRW re-airs an interview with Boyle from 2022.
