Here is three straight minutes of Donald Trump saying things will be happening ā€œin two weeksā€ (spoiler alert: none of them ever happened)

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to get into Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says it’s Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked car

Milestone victory for the Valkyries. The Fever aren't one of the elite teams, but this is a game the entire Valkyrie fan base was pointing to. And roaring for. And the Valkyries crushed it. Means something big picture for a team's identity.

Polling shows that Trump's lost the political battle over the LA protests, even as immigration had been his best issue. His net approval on LA (-15 pt & with indies -24 pt) is way underwater. Further, ICE's popularity has fallen with -9 pt net approval on more workplace raids.

With a lift from their thunderous fans, the Valkyries met the moment on Thursday. They're meeting just about every moment. Something is happening here. "I call 'em killers," their coach says. sfstandard.com/2025/06/20/val…

It’s disappointing that Vice President JD Vance JD Vance & team did not allow local reporters inside his Los Angeles press event. At this inflection point in L.A. history, they only took questions from national reporters. Hopefully that changes in the future. And yes…I called out then Pres.

After a weekend of some of the biggest protests in history, our Executive Director Yasmin Radjy shared her thoughts on what’s next: It was ā€œa moment of much-needed catharsis in an incredibly dark time, where just being in community was something they were craving.ā€

The #NoKings march showed what we can do when we come together. Now let’s turn that momentum into winning back power. That starts with organizing to win back the House. For more, check out snippets of my recent conversation w/ San Francisco Chronicle’s Joe Garofoli ā¤µļø

As our nation girds for possible Iranian terrorist attacks, this is the person Trump put in charge of terrorism prevention. 22 years old. Recent work experience: landscaping/grocery clerk. Never worked a day in counter-terrorism. But he’s a BIG Trump fan. So he got the job.
