National Guard controversy deepens as federal and state roles clash

President Donald Trump can maintain control of California's National Guard in Los Angeles for now after the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that he likely acted within his authority. The panel stayed an earlier order by U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer that would have returned the troops to Gov. Gavin Newsom. The decision came in Newsom v. Trump, a lawsuit filed on June 9 by the governor challenging the federal deployment. Gov. Newsom had called the move "illegal and immoral" and argued it infringed on California's sovereignty. Breyer's initial temporary restraining order said Tr

Trump used Juneteenth to denounce ‘nonworking holidays.’ Some political observers say it wasn’t a coincidence

For social justice activist Glenn Harris, President Donald Trump’s statement on Juneteenth, arguing there are “too many nonworking holidays in America” costing the country “billions of dollars,” was no surprise.Harris said the comments coming on the federal holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the United States were consistent with Trump’s most recent policies and practices working against people of color.“In many ways it’s just a continuation of this administration’s attempt to erase the civil rights, free speech and literally the history of Black and brown people,”

Fragile ceasefire appears to hold between Iran and Israel as Trump vents frustration with both sides

A fragile ceasefire between Iran and Israel appeared to hold Tuesday after initially faltering, and U.S. President Donald Trump expressed frustration with both sides, saying they had fought “for so long and so hard” that they do not know what they are doing. But even as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed that Israel had brought Iran’s nuclear program “to ruin,” a new U.S. intelligence report found that the program has been set back only a few months after U.S. strikes over the weekend, according to two people familiar with the assessment.
