Tuesday, October 20, 2026 11:23PMFor the first time, a Commerce man accused of illegally registering to vote is detailing his arrest and what he experienced during a 10-hour detention. COMMERCE, Calif. (KABC) -- A 72-year-old Commerce man accused by federal authorities of illegally registering to vote spoke publicly for the first time Tuesday about his arrest and roughly 10-hour detention. Omar Muñoz, one of more than two dozen people arrested in the federal case, told Eyewitness News he was taken into custody Monday near the bench where he drinks coffee every morning. He recalled asking the agents for identification when they showed up at his door. "They said, 'Open the door or we break it down, and it'll be bad for you,'" Muñoz said. RELATED: Commerce arrest part of federal sweep of alleged noncitizen votersFederal officials announced charges against 28 people accused of illegally registering to vote and, in some cases, casting ballots in California elections. Muñoz said he suffers from several medical conditions, including a heart murmur, diabetes and neuropathy. He also said he has undergone surgeries on his neck, shoulder and knee.

NEW YORK — Christina Applegate, who has candidly shared raw details about her journey with multiple sclerosis for years, revealed Monday her doctor says she doesn’t have the autoimmune disease and was misdiagnosed. “I’m back at square one where I don’t know what’s going on with me,” the actor said on the latest edition of her podcast “MeSsy,” along with co-host Jamie-Lynn Sigler, who has been public about her own battle with MS. Applegate first publicly announced in 2021 that she had been diagnosed with the disorder that causes the immune system to attack the cells in the central nervous system. On Monday’s podcast, Applegate revealed that despite the misdiagnosis, she still has “every symptom of someone with MS,” adding, “I still have to use wheelchairs when I go to the doctor’s office. I can’t walk from the car to the room.”There is no single test for MS, and a diagnosis usually involves ruling out other causes. It can take years and seeing multiple doctors before one puts the clues together. Christina Applegate Christina Applegate, known for her roles on "Married...

(Photo illustration by Bill Kuchman/The Bulwark | Photos: Getty, Shutterstock)LAST WEDNESDAY, in an interview with Fox News, Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) accused her Democratic challenger, former state Senate President Troy Jackson, of being soft on crime. She warned viewers that months earlier, Jackson had “welcomed the endorsement of the Democratic Socialists of America” while running in the Democratic primary for governor. Then, in a Thursday-night debate aired on Maine’s PBS stations, Collins didn’t breathe a word about the DSA. Instead, she distanced herself from Donald Trump’s policies. Emphasizing her clout as chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, she claimed that she had used that position—along with her access to administration officials—to compensate Mainers for some of the costs imposed by the president. By Friday night, Collins was back on Fox News. And, suddenly, she was back to fretting about socialism. “It’s interesting to me that Bernie Sanders has been to Maine to campaign with [Jackson]. Elizabeth Warren’s coming this week. AOC is coming next week. I think that tells you a lot about where Troy Jackson stands,” the senator told Sean Hannity.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded $6 million in grant funding to support research by the University of Wyoming (UW) aimed at expanding rare earth energy domestically. The project will look into ways of using microorganisms to process rare earth elements on a large scale. UW’s School of Energy Resources (SER) is a subawardee of the grant, and the research is in collaboration with the University of Alaska and Montana Technological Institute. UW’s involvement in the project will be led by Tyler Brown. Brown is the program manager of the minerals team inside SER’s Center for Economic Geology Research. He said the use of bacteria to process minerals from coal and coal waste may be a key to growing domestic critical mineral recovery. “This microbial method of biorecovery has been shown to be more economically efficient at a very small scale, and that is part of what this project is going to do is identify the economic viability as we continue to scale this up,” Brown said. The collaboration, Brown said, allows each of the universities to benefit from the others’ specialized research. The University of Alaska, Anchorage is the lead institute on the project.

Australian researchers have identified a new subtype of depression – termed “circadian depression” – linked to disruptions in the body’s internal clock, which they believe is less responsive to traditional antidepressant treatments. In a study published in British Journal of Psychiatry, involving clinical and genetic data from 11,380 Australians with mostly severe and recurrent depression, researchers identified circadian depression as affecting nearly a quarter (23%) of participants. They suggest people affected by the subtype may benefit from treatments that target the body’s circadian rhythms, such as melatonin and light therapy. While a link between mood disorders and disrupted daily rhythms has been known for some time, the researchers say the “study strengthens the evidence base for a circadian subtype of depression as a biologically valid and clinically useful phenotype of depression”.

FULSHEAR, Texas (KTRK) -- Fulshear City Council members will meet Tuesday night to discuss a major development proposal that could transform an open field off FM 1093 and FM 359 into a hub with a hotel, sports facility, and retail. The project is called Fulshear Town Square. It is still in the conceptual stages, but renderings from the Johnson Design Group show plans for the city's first hotel, a sports complex, a fitness center, medical offices, grocery stores, and more. The Johnson Group's plan also includes ideas for what are called Fulshear Luxury Lofts, which could bring more residential space to the area. Mayor Don McCoy said the project could cost around $250 million, but it is still not clear how it will be paid for. Fulshear is in Fort Bend County and, according to U. S. Census Bureau population estimates, is the second-fastest-growing city in the country. RELATED: Fulshear and other suburbs in big Texas metro areas lead as fastest growing municipalities in the US"Fulshear, as many know...we're one of the fastest-growing cities in America," McCoy said. That growth is part of why McCoy added the proposal to Tuesday's city council meeting.

Amid the rush of cars zooming down the northbound side of Interstate 93 in Woburn last week, one passersby happened to spot a tiny black fuzzball trying to dodge traffic. The Good Samaritan jumped into action, scooping up the 7-week-old kitten and carrying her to safety. She is now being cared for by a foster volunteer with the Animal Rescue League of Boston, the animal welfare organization said in a statement Tuesday. Staff there named her “Freeway,” a nod to her lucky rescue. Freeway is now in the care of an ARL foster volunteer. ARL BostonShe is small enough to curl up in the crook of an arm and has jade green eyes as wide as saucers, pictures show. Freeway will remain in foster care until she is ready for adoption, the animal shelter said. In the meantime, the organization encouraged potential adopters to consider other animals looking for homes. Freeway will remain in foster care until she is ready for adoption.

Premier promises to implement recommendations from inquiry after city leaders ‘ripped all of us off’ Premier Wab Kinew says public inquiry findings that taxpayers were overcharged more than $40 million for the Winnipeg Police Service headquarters project and two city leaders broke the public trust are “outrageous.”

Rain is anticipated for Southern California on Wednesday into Thursday as the National Weather Service cautioned about potential beach hazards and thunderstorms from Oxnard to the Mexico border. The weather service’s Los Angeles-Oxnard office is estimating a 30% to 40% chance of thunderstorms, with widespread minor flooding and debris flow concerns in L. A. and Ventura counties. Most areas, however, will probably experience only minor impacts from this weather, the office said. The area at highest risk for flooding is the Santa Monica Mountains, according to a weather service spokesperson. “Some of the more vulnerable areas include first-year burn scars,” a spokesperson said. The Palisades and Altadena areas are among those recently scarred by wildfires. As for rain amounts, the weather service in L. A. is expecting 1.73 inches of rain in Thousand Oaks from Wednesday into Thursday, with Oxnard at 1.53 inches, Santa Clarita at 1.47 inches, LAX at 1.31 inches, Covina at 1.29 inches and Long Beach at just under an inch.

Open this photo in gallery:Alberta Premier Danielle Smith previously sacked AIMCo’s board and CEO, and has also previously pushed for the province to leave the Canada Pension Plan. Jeff McIntosh/The Canadian PressIt’s too soon to breathe easy on Alberta secession. Sure, the referendum’s preliminary results show that some 75 per cent of Albertans voted to remain in Canada. But the proportion of people who signalled they favour a binding vote on separation – roughly 25 per cent – is significant. This is hardly a resounding endorsement of Canadian unity. Federalists who assume they won and dismiss the concerns of Alberta separatists are making a big, fat mistake. The fallout from this historic vote will be felt for years. Secessionist leaders have explicitly said they plan to use this meaningful denouncement of Canada as leverage to agitate for change. That brings us to the Alberta Investment Management Corp., or AIMCo, which is a sitting duck for renewed political interference in light of the referendum result. The Edmonton-based institutional investment manager is part of the “Maple 8″ group of public pension fund managers and Alberta’s Crown jewel.

Despite the climate we see on Mars today, scientists now agree it was warmer and wetter 3.5 to 4.1 billion years ago, during the Noachian and Hesperian eras. Evidence of this first emerged with the first robotic probes to explore Mars, but became undeniable with the arrival of landers and surface rovers, i.e., Viking 1 and 2, Curiosity, and Perseverance. This has raised the question of whether Mars could have hosted life during this period, most likely in the form of microbial organisms. Hoping to shed light on this, a research team led by scientists from the Institute of Science Tokyo created a global map showing where ancient rains may have delivered an important prebiotic molecule, formaldehyde (H₂CO), across the planet billions of years ago. This map could help guide future astrobiology efforts on Mars by directing robotic and crewed missions to sites where evidence of past life could still be preserved.

FOXBOROUGH — The way things have been going for the Patriots, it’s a notable day when they don’t have to place someone on injured reserve. As New England continues to limp through the middle stretch of its regular-season schedule, Mike Vrabel and the coaching staff continue to try and find a way to patch the depth chart together, particularly the offensive line and at wide receiver. “I’m impressed with how the coach has been handling [things],” said quarterback Derek Maye. “Kind of moving personnel around, and kind of fixing things on the sideline and adjusting. It’s been pretty cool to see, and kind of see why the coaches are out there; to try to kind of put moving parts together and fit them together.”“I think it all starts with Vrabes, man,” said defensive tackle Milton Williams. “One guy goes down, but there’s another opportunity for somebody else to step in and make plays. I feel like a lot of guys have been ready for their opportunities all year long.”Get Point AfterGet exclusive analysis and insight on the Patriots and the NFL, delivered to your inbox on weekdays during the season.

On October 21, 2026, the best horoscopes go to five lucky zodiac signs. Venus and the Sun meet at critical degrees (but in different signs), and this interaction is intense. Venus in Scorpio is in its fall, so it acts controlling and pretty difficult, to be honest. Libra is an enemy to the Sun. Harmony? Nah. The ego can be awfully big right now. But even though it's hard to see clearly, these astrological signs come out on top.1. Cancer Design: YourTangoCancer, you try to get along with everyone, and when stress rises, you work magic. On October 21, sadly, Venus in its fall creates problems in your home and family sector. Nothing breaks your heart more than when relatives don't get along. The Sun doesn't feel helpful today either, since it's creating havoc in your love life as it connects with Venus right now. The good news is that you're much stronger than anything you face. You're wagging your pointer finger and saying nah-ah. No drama on my watch. You like that problems surface because, if they didn't, you wouldn't know what they are. Your sweet, intuitive side of you kicks in, and you start problem-solving.

Photon echo (PE) spectroscopy is a powerful technique for probing decoherence mechanisms and charge carrier dynamics in semiconductor systems. Beyond traditional coherence measurements, characterizing the photon statistics of the echo signal is important for assessing its potential in quantum information applications and understanding the underlying quantum mechanical processes. Here, we study the photon statistics of PE signals generated by excitons in ensembles of lead halide perovskite CsPbI3 nanocrystals at cryogenic temperature of 2 K using continuous-variable quantum state optical tomography based on homodyne detection. Pronounced Rabi oscillations of the PE amplitude allow us to evaluate the statistics for various pulse areas in the excitation sequence. The damping of the oscillations with increasing pulse area is attributed to spatial excitation inhomogeneity and excitation-induced dephasing. Despite the large ensemble of optically addressed excitons, the efficiency of generated PE signals is low which is attributed to the complex energy level structure of excitons and non-radiative recombination channels in CsPbI3 nanocrystals.
