By CHRIS MEGERIAN and BRENDAN FARRINGTONWASHINGTON — Vice President Kamala Harris said extremists want to “replace history with lies” as she traveled to Florida on Friday to assail Republican efforts to overhaul educational standards, plunging into a battle over schooling that has rippled through classrooms around the country.“They dare to push propaganda to our children,” she said in Jacksonville. “This is the United States of America. We’re not supposed to do that.”Her trip came two days after the Florida Board of Education approved a revised Black history curriculum to satisfy legislation signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican presidential candidate who has accused public schools of liberal indoctrination. The new standards include instruction that enslaved people benefited from skills that they learned.“How is it that anyone could suggest that in the midst of these atrocities that there was any benefit to being subjected to this level of dehumanization?” Harris asked.She did ...Former Alameda County prosecutor, facing misdemeanor charge, strikes back in court

OAKLAND — In a defiant court appearance Friday, a former Alameda County prosecutor blasted the District Attorney’s Office for exposing his address and other identifying information in court documents related to his pending misdemeanor case.Amilcar “Butch” Ford, a veteran prosecutor who was charged this week by District Attorney Pamela Price’s office, said his information was public for two days, exposing him to potential harm by the killers, robbers and rapists he worked to put behind bars.Calling the breach “inexcusable,” Ford, a fierce critic of Price, alleged it was done intentionally.Leah Abraham, a deputy district attorney in Price’s office, said in court that the exposure of personal information was not done purposefully and redacted documents had since been filed.The incident prompted Ford’s former union, Teamsters Local 856, to send a letter to Price this week, saying the exposure of Ford’s address raises serious sa...Car crashes into Round Table Pizza in Hayward after road rage incident: police

Q: What will the U.S. Cyber Trust Mark mean for nontechnical people?A: Our appetite for smart gadgets in our homes has opened an attack vector for a variety of bad actors. Smart devices, such as TVs, thermostats, baby monitors, health monitors and security cameras can be vulnerable because they often incorporate weak security measures.Estimates are that nearly 17 billion smart devices are now connected to the Internet around the world and are a huge target for hackers.These devices pose risks to individual consumers and can be used in wide-scale cyberattacks on critical resources and infrastructure.Hackers go after the weakest link; in this case, it’s all our Internet-connected smart gadgets.A government initiative called the U.S. Cyber Trust Mark has been in the works since last year to encourage manufacturers to voluntarily provide more secure devices and offer consumers an easier way to identify them.It will be much the same as Energy Star or Underwriters Laboratory badges that d...Justin Thomas headed to Minnesota to salvage Ryder Cup hopes

HOYLAKE, England (AP) — Justin Thomas never imagined using the second round of the British Open as a tune-up for the 3M Open next week in Minnesota.That speaks to the state of the game. And it’s not good.Thomas is in a slump for the first time in his PGA Tour career, bad enough that his season could end before the lucrative FedEx Cup playoffs begin, and it has jeopardized his chances of being in Rome for the Ryder Cup.He missed the cut Friday — that was inevitable after he made 9 on the final hole of his opening round for an 82, his worst score in a major. And he had no choice but to make plans for the 3M Open next week and the Wyndham Championship in North Carolina after that.“The golf in Minnesota is obviously slightly different than here in Liverpool,” Thomas said after a 71 in the second round. “But I’m hitting a lot of good shots. I’m just making so many bonehead mistakes.”Thomas went into the British Open at No. 75 in the FedEx Cup, problematic on several lev...Cody Bellinger hits 2-run homer as Chicago Cubs edge St. Louis Cardinals 4-3
