Top Republicans urge Trump to rethink stripping security from ex-officials
Two senior Republican senators on Sunday urged U.S. President Donald Trump to rethink his decision to strip personal security from some former Trump administration officials, one of whom was the target of an alleged Iranian plot. Trump this week ended protection for his former national security adviser John Bolton, who became a vocal Trump critic, as well as for former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and others. The United States charged a member of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guard Corps in 2022 with plotting to murder Bolton, who served as Trump's third national security adviser until he was dismissed in 2019.

From fire alerts to flood watches: Rain brings relief to Southern California firefighters, but with a caveat
Rain was falling across Southern California on Sunday, bringing some relief to thousands of firefighters battling multiple major blazes for nearly a month in the Los Angeles area, but also prompting new threats of floods and mudslides across burn-scarred lands. A flood watch issued by the National Weather Service is to go into effect at 10 a.m. local time on Sunday for fire-ravaged areas of Los Angeles County, which has been ground zero for the historic firestorms that have leveled thousands of homes and killed at least 28 people since first igniting on Jan. 7. The flood watch will remain in effect until Monday afternoon in burn-scarred areas left by the Eaton, Palisades, Franklin, Bridge and Hughes fires.
