Act 1: Trump vs. Newsom – The Battle of L.A.

  • President Trump rolled out troops—Marines, National Guard—the full Blockbuster deployment—to Los Angeles to curb ICE protests.
  • Governor Newsom is having none of it, calling it a “stone cold lie” and now he’s suin’ the feds. Legal fireworks incoming! theguardian.com+5independent.co.uk+5theguardian.com+5
  • The LAPD chief dropped the mic: Trump lied about local requests for troops. Protocol wasn’t followed. Cue the backtracking. news.com.au

Act 2: Immigration Raids & the “Dragnet” Tour

  • ICE is swooping in on farm workers across 21 states, 37 cities—it’s like a musical tour, but without the fun part. independent.co.uk
  • Families—including children—are reportedly detained with no snacks or water. This isn’t the kind of family vacation anyone asked for. theguardian.com

Act 3: All Aboard the “Troll Train” to DC

  • California, New York & Texas governors are rallying—California’s suing, New York’s calling it an “assault on values,” Texas is doubling down with 5,000 more troops. This would make any lawyer blush. en.wikipedia.org+1npr.org+1
  • Meanwhile, a federal judge in San Francisco is deciding if Trump’s stunt is legal. No pressure, Judge.

The Punchline: Trump’s Everything Era

  • He signed a measure blocking California’s ban on gas-powered cars. Forget saving the planet—let’s save those V8 engines! apnews.com
  • Also in the executive action buffet: dismantle Climate.gov, roll back pollution limits, and axe FEMA. Ideal if your apocalypse prep kit includes a giant bunker. theguardian.com
  • And just yesterday, Trump claimed “total control” over U.S. Steel. That’s not a takeover—it’s my takeover! apnews.com
