Pete Aguilar (CA) grilled Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over President Trump’s controversial decision to deploy the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles without state approval.
Aguilar raised concerns about troops lacking basic provisions, while Hegseth defended the move, calling Governor Newsom ineffective and asserting federal authority.
The heated exchange reflects deepening tensions over federal intervention, civil unrest, and constitutional boundaries.
The 60-day deployment has ignited sharp political backlash, with both sides trading accusations over leadership and law enforcement failures.

“Liberation Day” in Washington, D.C.
President Donald Trump has declared a public safety emergency and taken direct federal control of the D.C. Metropolitan Police. Flanked by Attorney General Pam Bondi, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and FBI Director Kash Patel, Trump announced the deployment of the National Guard to restore order in the capital, which he compared to Baghdad and Mexico City.
Citing “phony crime numbers,” Trump said D.C. is spiraling into chaos — and he’s not stopping there. Cities like Chicago and Los Angeles are next on his list as he vows to expand the federal crackdown.
Is this a bold move to save American cities — or an unprecedented power grab? Watch and decide.

The Pentagon has confirmed the long-anticipated test date for Trump's billion-dollar "Golden Dome" missile defense system—just weeks before the 2028 election. Announced in May, Trump’s campaign-era promise aims to create a space-based shield against missile threats. The timing raises eyebrows, with defense experts questioning if this is military strategy or political theater. Led by Gen. Michael Guetlein and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, the program faces tight deadlines, scaling challenges, and skyrocketing costs. With $25B already allocated, the pressure to deliver—both technically and politically—is mounting.

The Pentagon is facing yet another high-profile departure as Justin Fulcher, a senior advisor to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, is set to step down after only six months on the job. Fulcher is now the sixth senior official to leave the department since Hegseth's controversial appointment, raising serious questions about the stability and leadership within one of the world's most powerful military institutions. The news, first reported by CBS News as a firing, was quickly disputed by the Pentagon, with spokesman Sean Parnell calling the claim "false" and unfair to Fulcher.
This wave of resignations comes amid a turbulent tenure for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. He has been at the center of multiple scandals, most notably a major security breach involving a Signal chat group discussing sensitive military operations, such as strikes in Yemen. In an unprecedented move, Hegseth reportedly added an editor from The Atlantic to this top-secret chat, a scandal that sent shockwaves through the defense community.
Justin Fulcher himself was no stranger to conflict within the Pentagon's walls. He reportedly stormed out of a heated meeting with the Pentagon's DOGE team in April and later claimed the Pentagon Force Protection Agency was actively searching for him. This incident allegedly infuriated Hegseth, who then personally confronted DOGE team lead Yinon Weiss for targeting his advisor. Despite the drama, Fulcher's departure statement was diplomatic, calling his time working with the Pentagon's personnel "incredibly inspiring." This video breaks down the full story behind the chaos at the Pentagon.

California Governor Gavin Newsom has ignited a heated feud with Donald Trump over GOP-led redistricting efforts in Texas, warning of a national “map arms race.” After Democrats blocked a Republican vote in Texas, Newsom mocked Trump on social media, vowing to retaliate by redrawing California’s maps to offset Republican gains. He accused Trump of undermining democracy and urged him to pressure Texas Governor Greg Abbott to halt the plan. Critics warn Newsom’s retaliation could erode Democrats’ moral stance on fair redistricting.

U.S. President Donald Trump has launched a fiery attack on Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas), calling her “Low (Very!!!) I.Q.” and challenging her to take a cognitive exam. In a scathing Truth Social post, Trump compared Crockett to members of the progressive “AOC Plus Three” squad and claimed she was “only slightly dumber.”
He boasted about “acing” his own test during a recent physical at a military hospital, alleging Democrats would “fail” in “a spectacular show of stupidity and incompetence.” Crockett, a vocal Trump critic, recently called him a “piece of s---” during a public event, drawing national headlines. The feud comes as Texas Republicans push to redraw congressional districts in their favor.

As the 2026 Senate elections approach, both Republicans and Democrats are gearing up for a high-stakes battle. With the GOP holding a narrow 53–47 majority, control of just five key seats could determine how much power Donald Trump holds in a possible second term. Democrats are strategizing to flip seats across the South and Midwest, while Trump faces internal GOP rifts and divisive primaries. The outcome could define everything from legislation to Supreme Court picks. The fight for Congress is already underway—and it’s anything but certain.

In a fiery declaration, U.S. President Donald Trump has officially axed all federal funding for California’s long-delayed and over-budget high-speed rail project. Calling it the “HIGH SPEED TRAIN TO NOWHERE,” Trump accused Governor Gavin Newsom—mockingly dubbed “Newscum”—of overseeing a $130 billion disaster that has delivered nothing but cost overruns and broken promises. Despite decades of work and billions spent, the rail line connecting San Francisco to Los Angeles remains incomplete and years behind schedule. Trump praised Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy for ensuring that not “a single penny” more will be wasted on the project. The move not only highlights Trump’s disdain for the project but also signals a political jab at one of his most prominent Democratic rivals. With this announcement, Trump rallies fiscal conservatives and taxpayers, painting himself as the guardian of their wallets against California’s “boondoggle.”

In a landmark ruling, the Ninth Circuit Court upheld Donald Trump's decision to federalize 4,000 National Guard troops to quell immigration-related unrest in Los Angeles—rejecting California Governor Gavin Newsom’s challenge. The court ruled federal intervention was lawful due to obstruction of federal agents. With two Trump appointees and one Biden judge siding unanimously, the decision marks the first such presidential move since 1965. Trump hailed the verdict as a “big win,” blasting Newsom’s leadership and vowing to protect American cities.

In a bizarre twist to Washington, D.C.’s ongoing crime crackdown, a man is facing felony assault charges for allegedly throwing a Subway sandwich at a U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent. Authorities say Sean Charles Dunn confronted the agent in the U Street area, hurling obscenities before “forcefully” tossing the sandwich into the officer’s chest.
The incident unfolded amid President Donald Trump’s recent federalization of the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department, deploying National Guard troops and multiple federal agencies to patrol the city. After a brief chase, Dunn allegedly confessed to the assault. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro slammed the act, warning, “Stick your Subway sandwich somewhere else.” The strange but serious case underscores the tense climate in the capital following Trump’s law-and-order push.

President Donald Trump has invoked the Home Rule Act to seize control of Washington, D.C.’s Metropolitan Police Department, deploying 800 National Guard troops and placing operations under Attorney General Pam Bondi. Federal agents from the DEA, FBI, and Border Patrol are embedded in local policing, despite crime rates being at a 30-year low. Experts say this unprecedented move applies only to D.C., though Trump’s broader agenda includes expanding federal support for law enforcement, rolling back accountability measures, and dismantling diversity programs nationwide.
