California is receiving a slightly larger share of a federal program earmarking $300 million nationwide for migrant-assistance programs. Migrant arrests in San Diego reached 8,989 for the week ending April 16, according to figures the agency posted on X. Meanwhile, Tucson — which previously had been the top region for crossings — had 7,500 arrests for the week ending April 19. Biden's speech before an expected crowd of nearly 3,000 people was being followed by entertainer Colin Jost from "Saturday Night Live." In previous years, Biden, like most of his predecessors, has used the glitzy annual White House Correspondents' Association gala to needle media coverage of his administration and jab at political rivals, notably Republican rival Donald Trump.

Saturday, May 04

And now I’ve spoken to about four young critics who knew none of my work, had seen nothing, couldn’t care less about me versus the next person. The White House Correspondents’ Association dinner has occasionally featured some great stand-up comedy. Laugh Factory Chicago opened in 2012 after a $5 million renovation of the iconic Lake Shore Theater in the bustling East Lakeview neighborhood. Located minutes from downtown in the heart of the Belmont Theater District, the Laugh Factory is putting its mark on Chicago's historic comedy scene.

Meet the far-right extremist plotting Trump's second term

Joe also dinged Trump for not getting an endorsement from his former Vice President Mike Pence. "My vice president actually endorses me," Joe bragged, referring to current VP Kamala Harris. Then Joe got serious for a moment, pointing out Trump's "attack on our democracy."

The uproarious Roast Battle on Tuesday nights is always a winner, and its long showcases are known for headline-worthy drop-ins (just maybe cash out your two-drink minimum tab before the doldrums of the last hour of the show). You may occasionally receive promotional content from the Los Angeles Times. Over the last three decades, a movement has grown to relax the law in sexual assault cases, according to Daniel Medwed, a professor of law and criminal justice at Northeastern who used to be a criminal appellate attorney in New York. Courts are becoming more open to introducing other evidence of sexual assault, he said, allowing prosecutors to build cases against suspected repeat offenders.

The New York decision marks a rare triumph since his downfall, but experts said it’s unlikely he’ll be able to overcome his California conviction on similar grounds. In Weinstein’s Los Angeles trial — where he was indicted on 11 counts of rape and sexual battery — prosecutors took a similar approach, calling four women to the stand who accused him of uncharged assaults in New York, London, Puerto Rico and Toronto. Even if the HRDC production of the “Little Shop of Horrors” doesn’t change the lives of the audience, it might well be the “the coolest thing” they get to see this semester. The effect is achieved not just through characterization and set design, but also the venue itself; the HRDC production of the “Little Shop of Horrors” utilizes a much more intimate space. Of course, there were also many famous journalists present, such as NBC's Kelly O'Donnell and Lester Holt. After 10 minutes, Joe sat back down in his seat as "Saturday Night Live" Weekend Update co-anchor Colin Jost walked up to the podium and took the comedy reins.

As the night's featured guest, Joe strolled up to the podium for his speech at the Washington Hilton in D.C. Before a packed crowd of journalists, government officials and Hollywood stars to celebrate the free press. Newly minted Oscar winner Da'Vine Joy Randolph will join in the weekend festivities as another of ABC News' A-list guests.

The Laugh Factory opened in Las Vegas in 2012, inside the recent $200 million transformation of the New Tropicana Hotel on the Strip. This Vegas version of L.A.'s world famous comedy club adds to the New Tropicana's first-class entertainment, which boasts A-list performers as well as the rising stars of stand-up. The Vegas club lets funny run loose, with acts encouraging patrons to "laugh their rears off" on a nightly basis. With a no-drink minimum and two shows per evening, it's a great place for friends and family to double their chances for some chuckles away from the casino floor. Richard Pryor filmed his famous stand-up comedy special from Long Beach, and Jamie Masada always wanted to honor that historic performance by building a Laugh Factory in the area. The $10 million, 650-seat, 12,500-square-foot venue is the largest comedy club in the world.

The Department of Homeland Security — which oversees the border protection agency — is working to revoke visas or impose visa sanctions for charter transport companies involved in moving people toward the border, the official said. Since then, different regions along the border have received the most migrant arrivals every few months — Del Rio, then El Paso, then Rio Grande, then Tucson. If weekly trends continue, San Diego could become the fifth. San Diego Chief Border Patrol Agent Patricia McGurk-Daniel wrote on X that 9,513 migrants were arrested as of Tuesday, a 36% increase from two weeks prior. More than two dozen journalists in Gaza wrote a letter last week calling on their colleagues in Washington to boycott the dinner altogether. Protest organizers said they wanted to bring attention to the high numbers of Palestinian and other Arab journalists killed by Israel's military since the war began in October.

Deeply reported insights into legislation, politics and policy from Sacramento, Washington and beyond. The Biden administration recently allocated $45 million to California programs that help migrants who have crossed the southern border. The agency expects the trend to hold for weeks and is shifting personnel and other resources to the region in response, the official said. Some migrants are also being transferred to other regions that are seeing fewer arrivals and have more processing capacity.

As he does every year, the governor will revise the budget proposal in mid-May. That’s a dramatic drop and it’s primarily why state politicians currently face a budget deficit of around $40 billion, if you accept Gov. Gavin Newsom’s latest numbers from January. But the gap could be as big as $73 billion, according to the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst’s Office.

Maybe coming from a world where you’re imbibing all of these quite dramatic, mythic images all the time makes you just play more outrageously. I studied philosophy at Calvin, so I didn’t have this idea of what film should be. It’s a critique of celebrity culture in a way that wasn’t really part of the conversation at the time. And I think maybe critics felt like I was complaining about being famous with my own tiny little pimple version of fame. And it was also such a tonal shift from my very warm and inviting “I’ve Heard the Mermaids Singing.” And the collective opinion sort of was handed down from on high that it was terrible and nobody invited it anywhere. It had a tiny little blip of a life, but nobody actually saw it.
