An abandoned dock is creating a massive headache for sailors and paddlers down at Cherry Beach, causing grief for local boaters. Shona Chornekni sits on the board of the Water Rats Sailing Club and says they have sent out a series of notices to the City about the hazardous structure, but they’ve been left waiting for something to be done. “It’s quite troublesome because it’s drifting in closer and closer,” she says. “We are a sailing and paddling club, so we are dependent on the current and the wind, and we can’t necessarily always go around it.” CityNews first reached…

SAN FRANCISCO — An appeals court on Friday refused to freeze a California-based judge’s order halting the Trump administration from downsizing the federal workforce, which means that the Department of Government Efficiency-led cuts remain on pause for now. A split three-judge panel of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals found that the downsizing could have significant ripple effects on everything from the nation’s food-safety system to veteran health care, and should stay on hold while a lawsuit plays out. The judge who dissented, however, said President Donald Trump likely does have the legal authority to downsize the executive branch…

The assessment is a major departure for the United States government, where officials spent the last several years arguing that conflict with China “is neither imminent nor inevitable.” But the shift reflected the Trumpian view of the…
