Coming up on #KTLA: The percentage of white families owning homes is far greater than that for Black families. The Trump administration is investigating California's Wells Fargo for allegedly discriminating against white home buyers by promoting 'racial equity in home ownership'

Here's my #KTLA story on how we're spending heavily on our furry friends (including $17 billion in cat food sales over the last year). Money well spent, say Teddy and Lupin www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGv8...

The boys are keeping watch for El Nino. Luckily for them, I have a story on what homeowners need to know about the weather event, not least that ordinary home insurance doesn't cover flood damage. It will be running throughout the day today on #KTLA

Coming up on #KTLA: Shares of Skydance (formerly Paramount Skydance) fell today as the company finalized its acquisition of Warner Bros Discovery. Why the setback? Try $80 billion in debt on for size, not to mention possibly thousands of layoffs

Coming up on #KTLA: Skydance is now one of the world's largest media and entertainment companies. It also has to figure out how to pay down $80 BILLION in debt. Analysts say thousands of workers will soon lose their jobs

Coming up on #KTLA: The rise of AI shopping bots means e-commerce sites have to switch their marketing efforts to appeal to robots, not human customers. Perhaps more noteworthy, consumer spending is the main driver of the U.S. economy. Will this change that?

Coming up on #KTLA: A new breed of startups are focusing on helping e-commerce companies market to AI shopping bots. Robots selling stuff to robots. That seems to have implications for an economy dominated by consumer spending

I'm fascinated by reports of Noah's Ark possibly being found. The thing is, there's no geological evidence of a global flood, and the animal aspect of the ark story is simply silly

Coming up on #KTLA: The last jobs report before the midterm elections paints a lackluster picture of the economy, with just 29,000 jobs added last month (more than 80,000 had been expected), downward revisions for prior job totals and a higher unemployment rate
