Los Angeles residents protest 'Fast and Furious' street races
Residents in Los Angeles's Angelino Heights protested the filming of "Fast X," claiming the "Fast and Furious" franchise has led to a dangerous surge in illegal street racing in their neighborhood.
Locals report that the movies glorify illegal street racing, turning their community into a "tourist destination" for dangerous stunts, causing constant noise, traumatizing children, and contributing to increased traffic violence.
Protesters are demanding Universal Pictures relocate future filming, and are urging the city to install speed humps and implement a zero-tolerance policy on street racing, additionally requesting a disclaimer in the films.

Democratic takeover of US Congress: What happens next
Democrats plan an ambitious legislative push in the House's first 100 hours, focusing on affordability, healthcare, and reversing Trump-era policies.
They will launch extensive investigations into alleged corruption and abuses within the Trump administration, using committee powers to subpoena officials and documents.
The Senate majority grants Democrats the power to block Trump's judicial and cabinet nominees, significantly curbing his influence on federal appointments.
Despite their victories, Democrats face significant obstacles, including Trump's veto power and Senate procedural rules, making legislative progress difficult without bipartisan cooperation.
