U.S. Marine Corps jets and helicopters could return to the decommissioned Marine Corps Air Station El Toro following an agreement inked by the Irvine City Council on Tuesday.
The Flying Leathernecks Historical Foundation has proposed refurbishing a 215,000-square-foot hangar at Orange County Great Park into a new home for its aviation museum currently on Marine Corps Air Station Miramar in San Diego. In March, Marine officials permanently shuttered the museum after reallocating more than $460,000 annually spent on its operation toward higher-priority missions.

As Gov. Gavin Newsom faces the growing threat of a recall, House Republicans from California said Friday that his administration must answer for the state’s recent finding that $11 billion in state unemployment claims were fraudulent.
They pointed to the fraud and the state’s announcement that an additional $19 billion in claims are under investigation as reasons to be cautious before approving more federal dollars to support state unemployment programs.
In a joint letter, all 11 California Republicans in the House demanded Newsom release more details about the fraud, such as how the state will try to recover the money, how it will help victims of identity theft related to the scam and when the backlog of pending legitimate claims will be paid.

Rep. David Valadao (R-Hanford) was the lone Republican from California who voted with the majority.
In an interview with ABC30, Valadao explained why he made the decision to vote to impeach, calling it the hardest decision of his life but one that he was forced to make after watching videos of the Capitol attack. It was the most disgusting thing I ve ever seen in my life. Watching those law enforcement officers get dragged out of the Capitol and beaten with American flags - how do you take that in and not be frustrated with the situation? I just want to make sure someone is held accountable for this.
