**Major Updates from the Region**
In the ever-evolving landscape of American manufacturing, Los Angeles brands are finding ways to navigate the complexities of a tariff-laden economy.
One prominent player is Everywhere Apparel, a clothing manufacturer based in South LA. The facility operates with cutting-edge machinery that spins yarn into fabric, producing over 130,000 T-shirts each day, all aptly labeled “Made in the USA.”
Irys Kornbluth, the company’s Chief Operating Officer, highlighted the advantages of the local manufacturing ecosystem, citing a wealth of suppliers and skilled laborers.
However, the cost of producing clothing domestically remains high, primarily due to substantial labor costs, with a standard white T-shirt starting at $28.
Meanwhile, West Hollywood is buzzing with excitement as it prepares for its annual three-day Pride Weekend, which kicks off on Friday evening.
The festivities will commence with a free music festival headlined by Grammy-winner Maren Morris, beginning at 6 p.m. at West Hollywood Park.
The lineup promises an array of performances, featuring artists like Qveen Herby, Jamie Fine, Venessa Michaels, and special guest Kaleena Zanders.
Additionally, the Drag Queen Lip Sync Battle Royale returns with its special guest, Bruno, ensuring an entertaining environment for all attendees.
The musical celebration will carry on through Saturday and Sunday, with illustrious acts including Lizzo, Remi Wolf, Kim Petras, Honey Dijon, and Paris Hilton taking the stage.
Concluding the weekend will be the annual Pride Parade on Sunday, showcasing music, dancing, colorful floats, and enthusiastic marching contingents.
**Spotlight on Sports and Policy Changes**
In the world of athletics, California’s high school track-and-field state championships are stepping into the spotlight with a noteworthy rules change concerning the participation of transgender athletes.
Starting Friday, the California Interscholastic Federation will implement a new participation and medaling policy that aims to allow an additional student to compete when a transgender athlete is in the mix, potentially resulting in an extra medal in three events.
High school junior AB Hernandez stands as a significant figure in the championships, being the second seed in the triple jump and also competing in the long jump and high jump.
This initiative may mark a pioneering moment for high school sports governing bodies, aiming to offer more inclusive opportunities for transgender athletes while also trying to find a middle ground amid ongoing debates surrounding the participation of trans girls in youth sports.
State legislation permits trans students to compete on sports teams that align with their gender identity, yet recent scrutiny has emerged, including threats from former President Donald Trump to withdraw federal funding unless California restricts trans female athletes from competing on girls’ teams.
The U.S. Department of Justice has also announced an investigation into the state federation and the district that oversees Hernandez’s high school, looking into potential violations of federal sex discrimination laws concerning the participation of trans girls.
**In Memoriam**
As we conclude our roundup, we take a moment to remember Loretta Swit, an Emmy Award-winning actress renowned for her role as Major Margaret Houlihan on the iconic TV series ‘M.A.S.H.’.
Swit passed away on Friday at the age of 87 at her residence in New York City, seemingly from natural causes, as reported by her publicist Harlan Boll.
She was among the longest-serving cast members of the groundbreaking series, which aired for over a decade from 1972 to 1983 and remains celebrated for its poignant storytelling set against the backdrop of the Korean War.
The finale of ‘M.A.S.H.’ captivated over 100 million viewers, cementing its legacy as one of the most-watched episodes in scripted television history.
As we wrap up today’s report, we encourage our viewers to stay informed and engaged with the ongoing developments in our community.
