Senator Josh Hawley: Chair of the Senate Subcommittee on Crime and Counterterrorism, leading the investigation. Organizations Named: Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles (CHIRLA) Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) Unión del Barrio Main Points: Senator Hawley has launched a formal investigation into who is allegedly funding and organizing the riots. Letters have been sent to multiple organizations demanding: Financial records Donor lists Internal communications (emails, texts, chat logs) Travel and lodging records Media and PR strategies Allegations suggest these groups may have provided logistical and financial support to escalate protests into riots. Hawley asserts that such support constitutes criminal conduct, not protected speech. Media Commentary: The document includes a transcript of Senator Hawley’s appearance on Fox News with Jesse Watters. He claims the riots are orchestrated and funded, not spontaneous. He criticizes the Democratic Party, suggesting they are aligned with or supportive of the unrest. He proposes harsher penalties for crimes committed during protests, especially those involving the American flag. Presidential Response: Former President Donald Trump is quoted addressing the situation: Defends the deployment of National Guard and Marines. Threatens to invoke the Insurrection Act if unrest spreads. Labels protesters as “animals” and “paid troublemakers.” Criticizes California leadership and praises conservative governors like Greg Abbott of Texas for proactive measures.

Today's Headlines: Nationwide protests against ICE raids are ramping up ahead of “No Kings Day,” a weekend of counter-programming to Trump's birthday military parade. Trump declared he “liberated” LA in a speech to troops, while California Gov. Gavin Newsom criticized the military deployment. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott followed by mobilizing the state's National Guard. Trump also announced a pending U.S.-China trade deal that would ease rare earth exports and partially lift U.S. export restrictions, though tariffs on Chinese imports will remain steep. Meanwhile, the U.S. is extending its tariff pause for other countries—contradicting earlier White House statements. Inflation rose just 0.1% in May, bringing the annual rate to 2.4%. Elon Musk publicly apologized to Trump after a reported intervention by GOP allies, seemingly ending their brief online feud. The U.S. is evacuating staff from parts of the Middle East as tensions with Iran escalate. Trump also urged Israel to halt its Gaza offensive and threats toward Iran. Domestically, the EPA is moving to repeal major pollution regulations on coal and gas plants, including mercury emissions. And in New York, Harvey Weinstein was found guilty on one charge of sexual assault, with the jury still deliberating on a third.

In this episode of The Electorette, Amanda Edwards, candidate for Texas's 18th Congressional District, joins host Jennifer Taylor-Skinner for a powerful conversation about legacy, leadership, and what it means to truly serve. A native of Houston's 18th District, Edwards shares her deep personal ties to the community and reflects on the seat's profound history—once held by trailblazers like Barbara Jordan and Sheila Jackson Lee. Edwards discusses the impact of Governor Greg Abbott's delay in calling a special election, which has left nearly 800,000 residents without representation during a time of crisis. From federal budget cuts to hurricane preparedness, she outlines why this moment demands urgent, community-centered leadership. The conversation also delves into the disconnect between elected officials and constituents, with Edwards highlighting her commitment to restoring trust and accountability. She shares personal stories—like her father's battle with cancer and her post-Harvey recovery work—and lays out her vision for building policies that support education, economic opportunity, and reproductive justice. Edwards makes a compelling case for re-engaging disillusioned voters and ensuring that representation is not just symbolic, but truly transformative. Learn more about your ad choices.

The news of Texas covered today includes:Our Lone Star story of the day: There is a push from the Trump camp for Texas to consider mid-decade redistricting to aid in picking up more Republican seats in Congress. The rumor that such might be considered has been around for a while but now there has been a meeting of Texas Republican members of Congress to discuss such. At present there is not much enthusiasm for such and it comes with big risks. At present, under current conditions, I don't expect much to come of it but, if Governor Abbott were to get aboard, he'd be the one to set it in motion with a Special Session call which would need to be in July, or the very earliest days of August fit time constraints.The New York Times broke the story: White House Pushes Texas to Redistrict, Hoping to Blunt Democratic Gains Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.City of Abilene officials looking to make home ownership that much more out of reach with another property tax increase. Has anyone actually run the numbers to demonstrate a total net savings, over principal and interest costs, from the proposed “energy improvements?” Most often these things do not produce a net savings.So much of the reporting on arrests by ICE is cleverly misleading propaganda. This Houston Chronicle story is an example: ICE agents arrest 3 people at southwest Houston immigration court.

C dans l'air du 11 juin 2025 - Trump envoie les Marines, la contestation s'étendFace à des manifestations contre la police fédérale de l'immigration (ICE) à Los Angeles, le président des Etats-Unis a décidé de miser sur le tout sécuritaire, et a opté pour une militarisation de la crise. Il a ordonné le déploiement de 2 100 membres de la Garde nationale, malgré l'opposition formelle du gouverneur de Californie — du jamais-vu depuis soixante ans.Mais Trump ne s'est pas arrêté là. Il a demandé l'envoi de deux mille membres supplémentaires de la Garde, auxquels s'ajoutent désormais 700 soldats du corps des Marines. Une décision rarissime dans l'histoire récente du pays, immédiatement perçue comme une provocation politique d'ampleur."Les Marines américains ont combattu pour défendre la démocratie. Ce sont des héros. Ils n'ont rien à faire face à leurs propres concitoyens pour satisfaire le fantasme autoritaire d'un président en roue libre", a dénoncé Gavin Newsom, gouverneur de Californie, sur le réseau X. Candidat putatif à la présidentielle de 2028, Newsom n'a pas mâché ses mots, qualifiant la manœuvre d'"attitude antiaméricaine". Il affirme d'ailleurs avoir été menacé d'arrestation par le président lui-même.À Los Angeles, la maire Karen Bass partage cette indignation. "Pourquoi déployer la Garde nationale ? Pourquoi des Marines ? Nous ne sommes pas un champ d'expérimentation militaire". L'élue démocrate fustige une opération disproportionnée, rappelant que les affrontements restent confinés à "quelques rues" du centre-ville — loin de l'image d'une ville à feu et à sang entretenue par Trump. Elle a néanmoins décrété à partir de mardi un couvre-feu et exigé que le président restitue le "pouvoir" aux autorités locales.Depuis vendredi dernier, la deuxième plus grande ville américaine, à forte population d'origine hispanique, est le théâtre de heurts entre protestataires dénonçant des raids de la police fédérale de l'immigration (ICE) et des forces de l'ordre en tenue anti-émeutes. Ces affrontements sont néanmoins restés sporadiques et très localisés.Qu'importe : Trump évoque une "invasion" d'"ennemis étrangers", et brandit désormais la menace de recourir à l'Insurrection Act, une loi d'exception permettant le déploiement des forces armées pour maintenir l'ordre intérieur. Une escalade verbale assumée par Stephen Miller, qui promettait ce week-end : "Nous reprendrons l'Amérique".Le chef adjoint de l'administration s'est imposé comme l'un des conseillers les plus influents du président américain. Proche dans sa jeunesse des nationalistes blancs, il est très marqué idéologiquement. Pourfendeur du "wokisme" et partisan d'un renforcement du pouvoir exécutif, il est l'architecte de la politique anti-immigration du président. C'est lui qui aurait mis ces dernières semaines sous pression les agents fédéraux de l'immigration (ICE) pour qu'ils passent de 600 arrestations par jour à 3000. Depuis, les rafles s'intensifient et les protestations gagnent du terrain.Après Los Angeles, des manifestations ont éclaté mardi à Chicago, Atlanta, Seattle, Denver, San Francisco et d'autres grandes villes. Au Texas, le gouverneur républicain Greg Abbott a annoncé le déploiement de réservistes de la Garde nationale, en anticipation de mobilisations attendues dans les jours à venir.
