Muslim communities across L.A. prepare for Eid al-Fitr, end of Ramadan

The Muslim holy month of Ramadan is expected to come to an end this weekend when a crescent moon is spotted. Adherents of the religion across the world — including about 1% of Angeleños — will mark the occasion with feasts, prayers, and celebrations. Eid al-Fitr, or the Festival of the Breaking of the Fast, occurs on the first of the Muslim month of Shawwal. Because the Islamic calendar is based on the cycles of the moon as it is visible from the ground, the beginning of Eid will not be confirmed until the crescent moon is sighted. That means that the festival should begin at night

Trump's promised 'Liberation Day' of tariffs is coming. Here's what it could mean for you

President Donald Trump says Wednesday will be “Liberation Day" — a moment when he plans to roll out a set of tariffs that he promises will free the United States from foreign goods. The details of Trump's next round of import taxes are still sketchy. Most economic analyses say average U.S. families would have to absorb the cost of his tariffs in the form of higher prices and lower incomes. But an undeterred Trump is inviting CEOs to the White House to say they are investing hundreds of billions of dollars in new projects to avoid the import taxes. It is also po

Iran's president said Sunday that the Islamic Republic rejected direct negotiations with the United States over its rapidly advancing nuclear program, offering Tehran's first response to a letter that U.S. President Donald Trump sent to the country's supreme leader. President Masoud Pezeshkian said that Iran's response, delivered via the sultanate of Oman, left open the possibility of indirect negotiations with Washington.
