Hundreds of cats and dogs were the focus of a large-scale animal rescue operation Friday morning when authorities served a warrant at a property in northern Los Angeles County. The warrant for a violation of animal welfare laws was served in Lake Hughes, about 65 north of Los Angeles. Authorities estimated that about 700 dogs and cats were on the property. County of Los Angeles Department of Animal Care and Control staff members and mutual aid partners were at the location. The county departments of public works, public health and regional planning also responded due to other possible violations at the property, authorities said in a news release. The DACC said it is the largest number of cats and dogs ever seized in an operation and might be the largest such case ever in the United States, the agency said in its release. It was not immediately whether anyone was arrested in connection with the violations. The property owner operates a nonprofit animal rescue and took in more animals than they could properly care for, county animal care officials said.

One expert says that the continued closure of the Strait of Hormuz would be not recessionary, but depressionary. The war in Iran reached a new extreme this week, as both Israel and Iran launched strikes on oil and gas production and export facilities. The attacks up the stakes in a war that was already choking energy and commodity markets, and will threaten the long-term health of the global economy. On Friday, the International Energy Agency recommended that people work from home, drive slowly, and use gas stoves sparingly in order to alleviate price shocks from the crisis. The situation in the Persian Gulf is so extreme, analysts told WIRED, that it’s almost unbelievable.

The Massachusetts congressman is struggling to land his message of generational change with his past anti-trans comments haunting him. Days after Donald Trump won his second election to the White House, Democrats flocked to the New York Times to blame their stunning electoral defeat on alleged capitulations to minority groups — and cement themselves as the future leaders of the party. Few appeared more eager than Rep. Seth Moulton, D-Mass., a moderate congressman and former presidential candidate with a reputation for bucking party leadership. That was over a year ago. Now, Moulton is running to unseat one of the most progressive members of the Senate, in the bluest state in the country, on a platform of generational change. And the anti-trans comments he’d hoped would establish him as a thought leader could help tank his campaign. Polls consistently show Moulton trailing his opponent, incumbent Sen. Ed Markey, particularly among younger voters. Despite making a case for a new generation in office, Moulton has a 3 percent favorability rating among likely voters ages 18 to 34, compared to Markey’s 67 percent, according to a February 24 poll from the University of New Hampshire. Only 2 percent of likely Massachusetts primary voters under 34 said they would vote for Moulton if the race were held that day, while 53 percent said they would support Markey.

Chuck Norris, the martial arts grandmaster and action star whose roles in “Walker, Texas Ranger” and other television shows and movies made him an iconic tough guy — sparking internet parodies and adoration from presidents — has died at 86.

A U.S. district judge in Oregon said he will vacate a declaration made late last year by health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that asserted gender-affirming care for young trans people does not meet medical standards of care. A coalition of states and D.C. immediately sued Kennedy over the declaration, calling it an overreach of Kennedy’s authority. The regulation of medicine is largely left up to states, and any federal rules need to go through public notice and comment periods.

It's taken a long legal battle, but Squamish Nation members will soon be returning to a reserve forcibly seized in 1913 In 1913, a barge arrived at Sen̓áḵw Indian Reserve No. 6.
