For summer travelers braving this record-breaking heatwave to take holiday trips and vacations, remember this along with extra water and sunscreen — not having a REAL ID will add a penalty fee to your expenses. At $45, the fee is now more than double the original $18 charge. The requirement to use a REAL ID (a standardized form of state identification) in order to fly domestically was enforced by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) in May 2025. The REAL ID Act was signed 20 years ago in May 2005, but it took two decades to take effect on a national…

Prince William is a proud supporter of England’s Aston Villa soccer club — but it’s hardly hereditary. “My father hates football,” William, 44, claimed on the Friday, July 3, episode of the “New Heights” podcast, referring to dad King Charles. “My family haven’t got a particularly long history with football, [though] there are a few of us who support teams. My football love came from friends taking me to my first match.” He continued, “At school growing up, you can’t avoid the football chat. It’s everywhere, and some … some childhood friends of mine took me to my first game.”…

SEATTLE — Why not us?  “We all believe in it,’’ Tim Ream said. “We’ve all talked about it. We all say it: ‘Why not us?’ ’’  Thanks to 54-year-old Argentine manager Mauricio Pochettino — who becomes more American with every verse of “Take Me Home, Country Roads” he sings after his U.S. men’s national team wins a World Cup match — this has become the mantra for the team and for the nation.  “It’s taken hold,’’ Ream, the 38-year-old U.S. defender and team captain, said. “It’s all over our hotels, it’s all over our meeting rooms and our spaces. It’s…

A Democrat insider who reportedly secretly wore an FBI wire to help take down Gavin Newsom’s chief of staff is now a liability for Xavier Becerra, the Democratic frontrunner to become California’s next governor. The California Post has learned Alexis Podesta, an informant in a sweeping public corruption case, is now the subject of multiple investigations by California’s political watchdog the Fair Political Practices Commission — including one involving one of Becerra’s political committees.

I’ve cooked professionally in enough private clients’ kitchens to know two things with certainty: (1) most people don’t hate cooking; they hate decision-making; and (2) nothing derails a healthy routine faster than coming home hungry with no plan, no groceries, no willpower. Meal delivery services solve both problems. They remove the cognitive load, which for many of us is half the battle, and the good ones turn into something you look forward to. Over the…

The Yellowstone cast has continued to find success after the hit Paramount Network show came to an end — with some even scoring spinoffs. Yellowstone, which ran from 2018 to 2024, became an overnight success for its story about the conflicts along the shared border of a large cattle ranch, the Broken Rock Indian reservation and land developers. Kevin Costner was the initial draw as John Dutton, but soon viewers were tuning in for the show’s other leads — including Kelly Reilly, Wes Bentley, Gil Birmingham, Cole Hauser and Kelsey Asbille. While Yellowstone was still releasing new episodes on Paramount…

The Flyers are making a bold swing for one of the best young players in hockey.  Philadelphia announced Friday that it tendered a five-year, $90 million offer sheet to Ducks center Leo Carlsson, putting Anaheim on the clock and risking four first-round picks in the process. The offer carries an $18 million average annual value, which would make Carlsson the highest-paid player in the NHL, topping Oilers star Leon Draisaitl’s $14 million AAV and even the Wild’s Kirill Kaprizov’s $17 million mark he’s set to make next season. But the draft-pick compensation may be the bigger part of the gamble.…

California Gov. Gavin Newsom will keep beating the same drum when he addresses Californians on July 4th — taking shots at President Donald Trump as he tries to grow his national brand ahead of a likely bid for the White House. The Democratic governor, in excerpts shared with the San Francisco Chronicle, is set to make his own sort of Declaration of Independence from Trump’s claims of election fraud. “The core of our democracy, the thing that separates us from a monarchy or a dictatorship, is the fundamental right to vote,” Newsom’s speech said. “If we lose that, we lose…
