to comply with applicable financial solvency laws. it is necessary to take these actions now. the california department of insurance said state farm will have to answer questions from regulators about its decision to discontinue coverage live in studio. lena howland, abc seven news. lena thank you. >> developing this morning, the nation's top prosecutors are taking on apple and their development of iphones. the us department of justice is suing the company, accusing it of building an illegal smartphone monopoly. california is one of 16 states to team up with the feds, claiming apple's business model stifles competition. us attorney general merrick garland gave this example >> if an iphone user messages a non iphone user in apple messages, the text appears not only as a green bubble but incorporates limited functionality. the conversation is not encrypted. videos are

pixelated and grainy, and users cannot edit messages or see typing indicators. as a result, iphone users perceive rival smartphones as being lower quality because the experience of messaging friends and family who do not own iphones is worse. >> apple pushed back against that lawsuit, saying in part it would also set a dangerous precedent empowering government to take a heavy hand in designing people's technology. we believe this lawsuit is wrong on the facts and the law, and we will vigorously defend against it. >> in the south bay, a group of residents say they are tired of seeing people forced out of their san jose homes because it's just too expensive to stay there. the mayfair community in east san jose is asking city council to pass the tenant preferences program. if it's passed, 20% of new affordable housing will be reserved for low income applicants facing displacement. an additional 15% of units will be saved for applicants who live in the same district as the new housing.

a large shell company could vote on whether to merge with trump's media company and that merger could put the media company, which includes trump's social media platform, truth social, on the stock market. trump's stake could be worth billions of dollars, he would not immediately be able to convert that stock into cash, but he could potentially take out loans against it. meanwhile new york attorney general letitia james has filed documents that could lead to the seizure of trump's golf course and also his estate in westchester county. that's if trump fails to post his $464 million bond by monday. he says james is trying to force him to sell his real estate a fire sale prices. and if and when i win the appeal, they would be gone. >> if trump does not post his bond by monday, state officials aren't going to close these buildings down, but they could move to file liens to start to claim ownership, and that might give us a window into what some

of trump's assets are actually worth. >> trump's lawyers say he faces insurmountable difficulties getting a bond. the timing of that potential merger is still being worked out. kumasi thank you gloria. >> another week has gone by. still no final result in the race for the 16th congressional district. santa clara county supervisor joe simitian has moved ahead of assemblyman evan low, but it's just by one vote. they are battling for second place to see who will face former san jose mayor sam liccardo in the general election in november, with this race being so close, a lot of people are wondering if there might be a recount. paul mitchell, vice president of politica political data incorporated, shed some light on how this might work. >> there's not an automatic recount process in this state, but if one of the campaigns say, a losing campaign wants to start a recount, they can do that. they can call for that, but they have to pay for it. so they

might set aside $100,000 and say, okay, county, start, you know, counting, you know, redoing a recount in a certain area and see if they get to where they're actually changing the outcome of the election. if they do change the outcome of their election, the election, they get their money back. but if they go two days and there's no significant change, they can continue to pay. once they stop paying, the recount stops. >> of course, we will continue to watch this race as the results continue to be tallied. >> developing news the mexican museum that is supposed to go here in downtown san francisco is off to a troubling start. an audit by the city shows the museum is sure the $49 million needed to convert the space. that's according to the chronicle. the museum also allegedly misused some of its public funds and missed an important deadline, which could lead to it losing the space altogether. it has a new space on mission street, but construction hasn't even started. >> a group of volunteers in san

restaurant week. i'm excited to check that one out. i went and checked out oakland's restaurant week, which goes until the 24th. on sunday i went to mama good delicious italian michelin bib gourmand, but makes you feel like you're in like your mama's kitchen and your mama's house. i like it and 45 for like three courses. all great. >> 45 american dollars for three courses, american dollars. >> and they added in bread and meatballs. >> you can't get a better deal. >> you really can't. >> and it's so good through this weekend, through this weekend. go head to mama. it's just mama. mama not mama is like we like to put s's. >> we like to add s to everything. >> mama. still to come, a big mess at point reyes. mama garbage is piling up. and now rangers have an unusual request for visitors. >> and let's take a live look right now at the big board at the new york stock exchange. we're down about two points right now. another update on the markets next. >> and the abc seven puppy cam is up and running. we're going

wet and weekend rainfall will total a little bit more than what we were thinking, upwards of maybe an inch in san francisco. that could be overdone in san jose, but over a half inch perhaps in the east bay. this is friday. saturday. rainfall totals and up to two feet of snow at kirkwood. so winter's coming back today, though still mild in the south bay because you'll have enough heating and the delay of the rain that you'll reach the upper 60s. fremont to near 70 in the south bay. but tomorrow we get the colder, unstable air. so looking at a soggy start to the weekend, some sunnier days, though after the weekend and

for several weeks. there's been no trash pickup at the point raised national seashore, and the garbage is beginning to pile up. rangers say nearly every dumpster across the park, 71,000 acres, is full of trash. that's because they have no way to get rid of it. the national park

service has just one trash truck for the entire seashore, and it broke down weeks ago. >> the repairs are pretty extensive and, because, you know, we're using federal dollars to, repair this this truck, we have to go through a specific process. >> rangers say repairing the trash truck could take about two weeks. in the meantime, they're asking visitors to take home their trash. some dumpsters even have a sign that says leave no trash, no collection services available. now, it's your morning money report. the ftc says grocery chains are guilty of price gouging during the pandemic, a new report finds. grocery giants exploited product shortages by raising prices more than needed to cover the added costs, the report also finds in 2021, revenue increased to more than 6% above the total cost. the previous peak was 5.6% in 2015. the food marketing institute, which represents

large food chains, has not commented on the report. it says it needs more time to review the findings. now we take a live look at the new york stock exchange. just trading gets underway. we're down about 60 points. we are celebrating national puppy day here at abc seven. kumasi is now taking her turn with the adorable pooches up for adoption. she is joined by the people of muttville, which is located in the mission district in san francisco, kumasi. who are you holding there? >> look at squiggy how cute. i see what you're saying, reggie. like, how can you not love squiggy? so i'm here with sheena and leanne from muttville. we got squiggy. we got theodore who's taking a little break over here. he's chilling out and we got debo over here who's getting loved up on. i mean, you have so many beautiful dogs here looking for forever homes. tell us about muttville and tell us about the dogs here. >> okay, well, muttville was founded in 2007, and we're a senior dog rescue. we rescue all

dogs seven years old or older, and we just want to find them forever homes, because we know that they have so much love. yet to give. we're also the first cage free facility in the nation. so if you come to our hq, all the dogs live in this, or at least 20 of the dogs live in this beautiful lofted area with beds and couches and just a ton of people to love on them all the time. >> and that's what they deserve. and i love this. so some people might say, okay, don't want a puppy? do i want a senior dog? how do you know if a senior dog is for you? and why adopt a senior dog? >> well, would you like a big potato that just hangs out with you like this all day? because that's what you're going to get with a lot of our dogs. they just want to be with their people and they don't have as much energy a lot of the time, except now debo is very interested in things. but, it's, it's a very rewarding experience because, you know that these dogs know what it's like sometimes if they have been strays, to not have a lot of that love. so they're incredibly thankful.

>> yeah. squiggy is just being so chill here. you're so precious. and i think it's so interesting. you have so many ways to be involved, whether you are ready to adopt or maybe you want to foster, which you have done, tell us like you have really done the thing. >> i've done it, squiggy is my 45th foster dog to date, he is part of a vast network of our foster program at muttville. we have about 80 to 90 dogs on our roster at any given time, and only about 20 to 30 actually stay in our current facility. so that means that fostering is essential to what we do at muttville. and we make it really easy to be a foster. i'm a big advocate and mentor for people fostering senior dogs, especially me, we have a ton of support. anyone can do it. we have a vet team on staff. we have. the best part is pet sitters. we have built in pet sitters for all of our fosters. they can go to headquarters in

the mission district at any time. if i have to go out for the evening, they can go to slumber parties and then i just pick them up. so on average i have about dogs, about three weeks at a time is the turnaround time. you might say, for muttville. so yeah, it's like a new puppy every couple of weeks when i want one. >> i love this so, so many different ways to get involved. >> whether you want to take squizzy home and make him a part of your family, or maybe you want to just foster for a bit, you got a lot of options. muttville of course, tell people how they can get involved. yeah, volunteering. >> and it's something i do, which has been insurmountably just rewarding. there's so many ways you can get involved. you can be a part of our hq staff that comes in to help clean the facilities and walk the dogs and simply just cuddle with them, which is always fantastic. you can also get involved with our marketing pr there's always of course, like we said, fostering. another thing. like i get involved with a lot, which is great, is outreach. so it's a lot bringing the dogs to different events just to spread

the word. and we always honestly, if you have a skill set, sorry about that. any skill set, we can find a place for you . we couldn't do it without all of our volunteers. >> so many ways to get involved. thank you for really just the work that you're doing supporting our senior lovely dogs here, and i'll send it back to you. i want to bring squiggy to the studio. >> can you please bring i squiggy might be my star of the day because i think squiggy is such a sweet animal. honestly and it's been so. >> first, it starts with the outfit. it does start with the outfit. it. he just let me. he he let me pick him up and we're just chilling. so cute. >> and a squiggy knows it's not what you wear, it's how you wear it, right? >> right. >> and we know this sweetie looks good with you. okay, i'll ask him if he wants to leave. bring squiggy down. i know, thank you. >> kumasi. we'll be checking in throughout the morning, including on our streaming show at seven. if you want to check out more of these dogs. >> what he is content there?
