| City of Palmdale Calls Pup Parents to Free Microchipping Event |
PALMDALE, CA - The City of Palmdale is hosting two tail-wagging opportunities for residents to microchip their furry canine friends. The free events take place on Saturday, May 10 and Saturday, June 14, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Poncitlán Square, located at 38315 9th St. East. This special opportunity is only available to people who live within the incorporated city limits (ZIP codes 93550, 93551 and 93552).
Residents’ beloved canine companions can receive a tiny microchip that could make all the difference if they are ever lost, stolen or end up in a shelter. This potentially life-saving service is funded by Measure AV and is hosted in partnership with Community Effort Animal Rescue.
“Microchipping is like giving your dog a permanent collar that can never get lost or be removed,” said Mayor Richard J. Loa. “When a dog is found, a quick scan reveals their owner’s information, which dramatically increases the chances of a happy reunion. This event is an excellent example of how Measure AV funds directly benefit our community.”

Artists, Community, and the Brockman Gallery in Los Angeles brings together dozens of works from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s collection, showcasing the range of experimental approaches to painting, printmaking, and sculpture featured at Brockman. Organized around six key themes–Roots, Material Experimentation, Body & Identity, Common Ground, Civic Engagement, and Uplift–this exhibition celebrates the Davis brothers’ courageous endeavor. Featuring work by artists including the Davis brothers, David Hammons, Betye Saar, Charles White, La Monte Westmoreland, and Carrie Mae Weems, Act on It! illuminates the transformative potential of art to expose injustice, raise consciousness, and shape culture.

| Protecting Our Children Must Be a Priority |
I want to bring your attention to a deeply troubling development at the State Capitol.
Assemblywoman Maggie Krell, a former prosecutor and a Democrat, introduced a commonsense bill that would have made it a felony to purchase sex from 16- and 17-year-olds. This legislation aimed to protect vulnerable minors and hold predators accountable. I strongly supported this bill, and I know many of you would too.
But yesterday, the Democratic Super Majority amended the bill—gutting it of its core purpose. They not only removed the felony provisions, they also removed Assemblywoman Krell herself as the bill’s author.
Let me be clear: soliciting sex from a minor should never be treated as a slap-on-the-wrist offense. Reducing the penalty for purchasing sex from a 16- or 17-year-old sends the wrong message and protects the wrong people. I’m outraged that this bill was sabotaged for political convenience instead of being championed for what it is—a measure to defend children from exploitation.
