Today’s Big Stories
1. Champion Dodgers saluted in streets of LA, Dodger Stadium
A big blue mass of joyous Dodgers fans lined the streets of downtown Los Angeles Monday and later filled Dodger Stadium to celebrate the team’s World Series victory.
More than 200,000 people attended last year’s World Series parade, and officials predicted even more this year. Thousand of people lined up early Monday morning to secure good viewing spots as streets were closed to traffic around the parade route.
The parade began shortly after 11 a.m. at Temple Street and Broadway, then continued west on Temple Street, south on Grand Avenue, west on Seventh Street, and north on Figueroa Street, ending at Fifth Street at about noon as the procession headed off to Dodger Stadium for a separate, ticketed celebration.
Team members, relatives and other Dodger employees traveled atop double-decker buses, waving to adoring fans as they were showered with confetti and screams of appreciation.
2. Dodgers’ dramatic Game 7 win over Blue Jays averages nearly 26M U.S. viewers in early ratings
The Los Angeles Dodgers’ dramatic 5-4 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday night in one of the wildest Game 7s in World Series history is ranking as the most-watched Fall Classic game since 2017.
The game averaged a combined 25.98 million viewers on Fox, Fox Deportes and Fox Sports streaming services, according to Nielsen Panel Only Fast Nationals and Adobe Analytics. Final numbers are expected to be released on Tuesday.
The early numbers would mark a 10% increase over the 23.19 million average from the last Game 7, which was the Washington Nationals defeating the Houston Astros 6-2 in 2019.
Houston’s 5-1 victory over the Dodgers in Game 7 in 2017 averaged 28.29 million.
3. States sue Education Department over new public service loan forgiveness rule
In their 46th lawsuit against the Trump administration, a coalition of 22 attorneys general sued the federal Department of Education and Education Secretary Linda McMahon on Monday over new eligibility requirements for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program.
Until this year, the plan had allowed loan forgiveness for nonprofit and government employees after ten years of service, but that changed in October following a federal rule that made some state governments, schools, hospitals and nonprofits ineligible if they were determined to have engaged in illegal activities.
“Public Service Loan Forgiveness was created as a promise to teachers, nurses, firefighters and social workers that their service to our communities would be honored,” New York Attorney General Letitia James said in a statement announcing the lawsuit. “Instead, this administration has created a political loyalty test disguised as a regulation.”
On Oct. 30, the Education Department released a final rule on the program that amended its definition of a “qualifying employer to exclude organizations that engage in unlawful activities such that they have a substantial illegal purpose, including supporting terrorism and aiding and abetting illegal immigration,” the agency said in a news release posted on its website.
“It is unconscionable that the plaintiffs are standing up for criminal activity,” Under Secretary of Education Nicholas Kent told Spectrum News. “This is a commonsense reform that will stop taxpayer dollars from subsidizing organizations involved in terrorism, child trafficking and transgender procedures that are doing irreversible harm to children. The final rule is crystal clear: the Department will enforce it neutrally, without consideration of the employer’s mission, ideology, or the population they serve.”
4. Talk show host Sherri Shepherd receives Hollywood Walk of Fame star
Sherri Shepherd fulfilled a childhood dream Monday when a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was unveiled in her honor, marking the 30th anniversary of her career in comedy, acting and daytime television.
Tyler Perry, Niecy Nash and producer Ira Bernstein joined Shepherd at Monday’s ceremony in front of the W Hollywood Hotel at 6258 Hollywood Blvd.
“I’ve dreamed about having my own talk show since I was a little girl,” Shepherd said just before the 2,827th star on the Walk of Fame was unveiled.
“I used to always dream that I was going to be somebody, ’cause on my report card it always said, `Sherri is amazing and she’s wonderful, but she talks too much.’ So before I got in trouble, I knew it was going to pay off me talking too much.”
Shepherd grew emotional as she thanked her 20-year-old son, Jeffrey, who was born prematurely and later diagnosed with autism.

A Spectrum News investigation discovered that a Hacienda Heights dispensary connects to a vast network of other illegal stores.
We reviewed dozens of eviction lawsuits and public business records that show the man who rented from Pang and companies linked to him have opened at least 20 unlicensed cannabis dispensaries throughout California since 2023 — and since many eviction cases are sealed, the true number is likely higher.
