🪖 BLOCK 1: 500 U.S. Marines Mobilized to Los Angeles — As Tensions Explode

In a surprise move, President Donald Trump has authorized the deployment of 500 U.S. Marines to Los Angeles in response to violent anti-immigration enforcement riots.

• These Marines, from the 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines at Twentynine Palms, are tasked with protecting federal buildings and personnel.
• Their mission is “open-ended” and could expand depending on the threat level.

Trump told reporters:

“We have it under control. But if anyone spits at our troops, they’ll be hit harder than ever before.”

This comes after Governor Gavin Newsom filed a lawsuit against the federal government for deploying troops without his approval. His office called the deployment “unprecedented” and “unwarranted.”

Meanwhile, anti-Trump demonstrators have taken to the streets from LA to Mexico City, with protests turning destructive. LAPD headquarters has seen smashed windows, torched vehicles, and calls to “Kill ICE” scrawled on buildings.

🎥 BLOCK 2: Maxine Waters Taunts Armed Agents, Gets Door Slammed in Her Face

Caught in the middle of the chaos was none other than Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA).

• Waters tried to force her way into a federal facility to visit SEIU union leader David Huerta, who was arrested during ICE raids.
• A National Guard agent denied her entry, shutting the door in her face — on camera.

She then approached a line of armed agents and shouted:

“You’re going to shoot an elected official? If you shoot me, you better shoot straight.”

Waters went viral for accusing Trump of using ICE to intimidate people of color and called the deployment “a pretext for martial law.” She also claimed:

“This is Trump’s attempt to turn our sanctuary cities into battlegrounds.”

⚖️ BLOCK 3: Trump Suggests Arresting Newsom for Obstructing ICE

During a fiery press moment, President Trump publicly stated that California Governor Gavin Newsom should be arrested if he obstructs ICE.

“If I were Tom [Homan, ICE chief], I’d do it.”

This comes after Newsom dared ICE officials to “come arrest me” if they didn’t like how California was handling immigration enforcement.

Newsom responded on X:

“This is authoritarianism, plain and simple.”

But here’s the issue: ICE agents were attacked. Protesters torched U.S. flags and police cruisers. And California officials stood back — or worse, criticized ICE instead of the rioters.

Tom Homan fired back:

“No one is above the law. If a governor breaks the law, he’s not immune.”

Joey asks the hard question: At what point does obstruction become criminal?

🧨 BLOCK 4: 100+ Democrats Vote Against Condemning Boulder Terror Attack

In a jaw-dropping vote, 113 House Democrats opposed a resolution condemning a terrorist attack in Boulder, Colorado. The attack — allegedly carried out by Mohammed Sabry Soliman, an Egyptian national who overstayed a visa — injured multiple pro-Israel demonstrators.

Why the pushback?
Democrats objected to language in the resolution linking sanctuary city policies to national security risks.

Rep. Gabe Evans, R-CO, who introduced the bill, said:

“This shows just how unserious the left is about public safety and terrorism.”

Meanwhile, a bipartisan antisemitism bill passed 400-0, but without the immigration enforcement language — exposing the political divide.

Bonus: SC Lawmakers Sued Over $2,500 Monthly Pay Raise

In South Carolina, State Senator Wes Climer has filed a lawsuit to block a $2,500 monthly raise that lawmakers voted for themselves. The raise — passed as part of the state budget — would increase in-district compensation to $30,000 annually, on top of their $10,400 base salary.

• The lawsuit argues the pay hike violates the state constitution banning mid-term raises.
• 37 legislators have already declined the raise — all of them Republicans.

🌍 International Flashpoint: Greta Thunberg Intercepted by Israel

 

Environmental activist Greta Thunberg was detained by Israeli forces while aboard a yacht trying to breach the Gaza blockade with humanitarian aid.

• Israel called the mission a “media stunt.”
• Passengers were given water, sandwiches, and are being deported.

The story received minimal media attention — overshadowed by the LA riots and Trump’s military deployment.
