LOCAL AND REGIONAL NEWS

Gov. Newsom says California will sue President Trump over his ordering National Guard troops, and now, 700 Marines into Los Angeles to quell anti-ICE demonstrations. Mayor Karen Bass doesn’t want federal intervention either. Posting on X, Newsom says Trump illegally federalized the National Guard, noting that the order he signed applies to all states. Trump called the lawsuit “baseless” and backed up acting ICE director, Tom Homan’s statement that Newsom should be arrested if he interferes with his department’s immigration enforcement. The past week’s increasingly violent protests are the result of ICE conducting raids at local workplaces. www.morningbrew.com

More than four dozen people gathered at the main gate to Camp Pendleton Sunday to protest the President’s use of National Guard and Marines against demonstrators in Los Angeles. Organizers say they received a mostly positive response to their protest signs. The base later announced that it had been recommending the use of alternate gates and routes during the four-hour protest. https://patch.com/california/oceanside-camppendleton/protest-held-camp-pendleton-over-possible-use-marines-protesters

Rite Aid has announced that its Valley Center location will be among those closing as part of the chain filing bankruptcy last month. The store was one of the most controversial projects ever to be presented to the Valley Center Community Planning Group. The advisory group recommended against the store, but was overruled by the county. It opened in 2020. It’s expected to close by the end of this month. https://www.valleycenter.com/articles/vc-rite-aid-to-close/

At its regular meeting tonight, the Temecula City Council is expected to dissolve three commissions including the Race, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Commission, the Traffic Safety Commission, and the Community Services Commission. The decision was made following review of their relevance during an April 22 council meeting. Two other groups survived the evaluation – the city’s Planning Commission and the Old Town Local Advisory Committee. https://patch.com/california/temecula/temeculas-race-equity-diversity-inclusion-commission-be-formally-disbanded

A pair of decades-old Vista businesses may soon be demolished to make way for a five-story downtown apartment building. Pepper Tree Frosty, the walk-up ice cream shop at 270 South Santa Fe has been in business since 1953. Danny’s Donuts has been next door since 1973. The family that has owned the 1.3-acre parcel the entire time is a fan of other projects by the developer Tideline Partners and sought them out for the development to be called Pepper Tree Apartments. Two other structures, currently the home of Salon Chic hair salon and Re-Find Off Main, a clothing and home goods store will have to be demolished as well. The Vista Planning Commission will be presented next Tuesday with plans for the 109 apartments and commercial space that could potentially house the displaced businesses. (News Flash Media)

Twenty-seven states and the District of Columbia filed suit in bankruptcy court yesterday to block the sale of personal genetic data held by biotechnology company, 23andMe without its getting individual customer consent. Founded in 2006, the company used saliva-based DNA testing kits for customers to learn about their ancestry and in some cases, find lost relatives. 23andMe also conducted health research and drug development, but failed to find a profitable business model after going public in 2021. It filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy in March and laid off 40% of its employees. Regeneron Pharmaceuticals offered to buy the company for $256m and says it will honor current personal data privacy laws and company policy. A court-appointed consumer privacy expert was due to examine the terms of the sale today. https://www.npr.org/2025/06/10/nx-s1-5429041/23andme-states-lawsuit-genetic-data

Whatever was said at the first day of Apple’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference yesterday, investors didn’t care for it. Apple stock dropped more than 2 ½% as the company’s chief of software gave the keynote address in which he said the AI upgrade for Siri still isn’t ready. On the brighter side, Apple’s tech can now translate conversations between people speaking different languages in real time during texts and phone calls. And third-party developers will now be able to integrate AI into their apps because it’ll be running locally on phones, not through the cloud. That news cut the day’s slide for Apple stock by about half. www.morningbrew.com

LIFESTYLE / GREEN LIVING

Sly Stone, the eccentric front man, singer, songwriter and producer for Sly & the Family Stone has died following a battle with lung disease. Born Sylvester Stewart, he gained his nickname when a grade school friend misspelled Sylvester. By age 8, young Sly was recording gospel music with siblings, Freddie, Rose and Vaetta. By 11, he was proficient on keyboards, guitar, bass and drums. By high school, he’d formed a multi-racial doo-wop group, The Viscaynes and recorded several singles in Los Angeles. He became a well-known radio disc jockey at KSOL in the Bay Area and simultaneously, a record producer for Bay Area label, August Records. In 1966, he and brother Freddie merged their two bands to form Sly & the Family Stone with both black and white musicians, and women who not only sang, but played instruments – a rarity at the time. He successfully resisted pressure from the Black Panthers to kick the white members out of the group. The Family Stone’s string of late-60s hits that created the genre of funk were a fusion of psychedelic rock, soul, jazz, gospel and Latin and included, “Everyday People”, “Family Affair”, “Stand”, “Dance to the Music”, and ending with the very funky “Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)” in 1970. Their pre-dawn through sunrise performance at Woodstock was a highlight of the event. In the 70s, Sly became famous for ghosting his own shows due to drug abuse. He stayed out of the public eye for several decades until arrested for cocaine possession in 2011, shortly after he’d begun making sporadic public appearances including playing with his daughter’s band, Baby Stone. He received a lifetime achievement award at the 2017 Grammys. Sly Stone was 82. https://www.npr.org/2025/06/09/1209525990/sly-stone-obituary

Microsoft will launch its first-ever family of portable gaming consoles later this year. The Xbox Ally and Ally X have been unveiled, just five days after Nintendo’s Switch 2 became available in stores. The new Allies have Xbox-like controllers, a 7-inch screen and double the storage of the Switch 2. The Ally X has a higher-powered processing chip and about as much memory as a regular Xbox. All Xbox games will play on the new Ally’s, either by cloud or other remote connection. No prices announced yet, but they’re expected to start several hundred dollars higher than the Switch 2, which is $450. www.morningbrew.com
