California leaders want more freedom to clear encampments, but homeless advocates say sweeps wont solve the problem. The Supreme Court decision is expected by the end of june. Also happening tomorrow Opening Statements in former president Donald Trumps hush money trial are set to begin. A 12 person jury has been sworn in and seated. Theyll have to decide if trump is guilty of falsifying Business Records to cover up hush money payments to adult film actress stormy daniels. Trump has pleaded not guilty and has been outspoken about the case. This is the first time a former us president has been tried in a criminal case, following a long battle on capitol hill. The 95 billion package with aid for ukraine, israel and other us allies has made it through the house and moves on to the senate. It also includes legislation to force the sale of the popular app tiktok. But getting this bill through the house may ultimately cost House Speaker mike johnson his job. Abc News Reporter jay obrien is in washington with more on the bill and what happens next. Following months of delays, the house passing a 95 billion foreign aid package, that legislation now headed to the senate where its expected to pass House Speaker mike johnson turning to democrats to get this package over the finish line, angering some hardliners in his own party. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor greene did not immediately call a vote to oust johnson, but joining with two other members to advance a motion to remove him as speaker. But a majority of republicans are not backing greenes efforts and replace them with who . Somebody tell me who youre going to replace him with. Johnson may now need the help of democrats to keep his speakership. I think the respect for him has gone way up because he did the right thing, irrespective of his job that garnered a lot of respect and also from the democrat side, included in the foreign aid package. More than 60 billion for ukraine, 26 billion for israel and eight for allies in the indopacific region including taiwan. Also included legislation to force a sale of tiktok from its Chinese Parent Company or face a possible ban in the u. S. The clock would begin ticking when Congress Passes the bill. If the bill is signed into law, bytedance would have one year to find a us buyer. And if it doesnt, the app would face a nationwide ban. But that law could face potential legal challenges, citing First Amendment rights to just ban 170 million americans or engage in speech and livelihood. The federal judge in montana struck it down. The judges struck it down. When trump tried this, i doubt it survives scrutiny. In the Supreme Court, a group of tiktok creators recently signing an open letter to President Biden warning him this could be alienating young voters in an election year, while others are planning to rally outside the capitol on tuesday as the Senate Debates the legislation.

Make your get away now and cache in at cache creek casino resort. It was spotted off the coast of crown beach in alameda last night. The carcass drew a small crowd of onlookers this morning at about 1130. We saw people gathering, which usually isnt a good sign. We get a lot of beautiful things you dont see every day, but never this level of Marine Mammal action in the bay. And its very shallow. Officials will tow the carcass to angel island to determine the cause of death. They believe its a young adult female gray whale estimated to be 40ft long. This is the time of year where gray whales are heading back to alaska from mexico. So we have we expect to see, a gray whale or two on their transit back. And sometimes they die.

They say the whales have adapted, gray whales have started feeding on fish instead of their usual crustaceans. But other dangers like ship strikes are still a risk. It will take a necropsy to determine how the whale that washed up in alameda died. A story like this brings back the memories of the exploding dead whale of 1970.
