While critics insist the homegrown terror threat is overblown, Trumpโs Justice Department just laid out a plot that was incubating on American soil โ and the details are chilling.
Federal prosecutors charged three men with conspiring to provide material support to ISIS: Bisaam Ghafoor, 21, of Leawood, Kansas; Elias Shamsaldeen, 21, of Porterville, California; and Bereen Dzayee, 25, of Lakeside, California. According to the complaint, beginning by at least February 2025 the three pledged allegiance to ISIS and its leader over Discord and encrypted calls, and funneled more than $2,000 to someone they believed was an ISIS operative.
This wasnโt talk. Prosecutors say ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฆ๐จ๐ง๐๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐๐ฌ ๐ฆ๐๐๐ง๐ญ ๐ญ๐จ ๐๐ฎ๐ฒ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ง๐๐ฌ ๐ญ๐จ ๐๐ญ๐ญ๐๐๐ค ๐๐ง๐ ๐ค!๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐.๐. ๐ฌ๐๐ซ๐ฏ๐ข๐๐๐ฆ๐๐ฆ๐๐๐ซ๐ฌ ๐๐๐ฉ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฒ๐๐ ๐จ๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ฌ๐๐๐ฌ. Ghafoor allegedly said it would be โ๐ด๐ช๐ค๐ฌโ โ as in cool โ if his name could be written on the drone used in an attack on Americans. Investigators say his name was in fact written on the projectile of a rocket-propelled grenade meant for U.S. troops, and that Shamsaldeen talked about stabbing a servicemember himself.
Sit with the geography. ๐๐๐๐ฐ๐จ๐จ๐. ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐๐ซ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ๐. ๐๐๐ค๐๐ฌ๐ข๐๐. Not a war zone โ three quiet American towns, where young men sat behind keyboards plotting to fund the deaths of the soldiers their neighbors send overseas. This is the homegrown radicalization the experts keep assuring us weโre imagining.
And then the part that gets buried: it was stopped. ๐ ๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ฌ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐ฌ๐๐๐ฎ๐ญ๐จ๐ซ๐ฌ ๐ข๐ง ๐๐๐ฅ๐ข๐๐จ๐ซ๐ง๐ข๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐๐ง๐ฌ๐๐ฌ ๐ฆ๐๐๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ซ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐ฌ ๐๐๐๐จ๐ซ๐ ๐๐ง๐ฒ๐จ๐ง๐ ๐ฐ๐๐ฌ ๐ก๐ฎ๐ซ๐ญ.

EARLIER TODAY: John Alle owns several blocks in MacArthur Park. He supports Spencer Pratt and says there is a โMob Cartelโ running the park. Alle says with the help of City funding, Mayor Bass and Councilwoman Hernandez of CD 1, have enabled drug dealing and drug abuse in MacArthur Park.
DEA-LAPD joint narcotics operation in #MacArthur Park. Preliminary info @LAPDRampart: 13 arrests, 6 citations (quality of life issues); arrests include drinking in public, being under influence of narcotics, misdemeanor arrest warrant @lapd@USAO_LosAngeles@deahq@TheJusticeDept
All true and yet L.A. voted ๐ณ๏ธ for the same ๐ฉ. It will be an EXTREME EMBARRASSMENT to hold the FIFA World Cup๐ and Olympics๐ in such a 3rd world looking cityโฆ..
In his first interview, @charliebcurran, the man behind the viral Spencer Pratt AI videos, tells @ClayTravis: "I have to live in the city. So I have to live with the ramifications of the policies here. It's just really bad here right now. It's not hyperbole. It's genuinely pretty awful."
EARLIER TODAY: Spencer Pratt supporter John Alle owns several blocks in MacArthur Park, including the space at Langerโs Deli. He says he doesnโt think DA Hochman will be able to have a picnic in MacArthur Park on Labor Day because in his view the problems are that bad.
๐ This is a fascinating parallel. Hereโs the full picture โ and itโs very relevant to whatโs happening today.
โก The Caruso-Bass 2022 Pattern vs. Todayโs 2026 Race
๐ 2022 Primary (June 7): Early returns had Caruso leading with ~41% and Bass with ~38%. But as more mail-in ballots were added, Bass steadily closed the gap โ Carusoโs 5-point primary lead had shrunk to less than 2 points by Friday. ๐
๐ 2022 General (Nov 8): Bass won decisively, 54.8% to Carusoโs 45.2%. She flipped the result entirely from primary night. ๐
๐ณ๏ธ The key pattern: Mail-in ballots consistently favored Bass. After 169,000 additional ballots were added on Friday alone, Bass gained significant ground on Carusoโs early lead.
๐จ Why This Matters for Todayโs 2026 Race
The exact same dynamic may be playing out RIGHT NOW. Raman currently sits third with 22%, holding out hope for a late surge as an unknown number of vote-by-mail and provisional ballots are still being tallied. โณ
๐ In 2022, Bass was the progressive candidate who gained with every mail batch. In 2026, Raman is in that same position โ her vote share is already growing the fastest (+8.90% raw growth this update), just like Bass did in 2022. ๐
โ ๏ธ Bottom line: If the 2022 playbook repeats, Prattโs lead over Raman could erode significantly as mail-in and late ballots come in. The race for second place โ and who faces Bass in November โ may still be very much open. ๐

Still DEEPLY concerning:
Key Takeaways from todayโs vote ๐ณ๏ธ drop:
-Raman is closing ground fastest โ her vote share grew the most (+0.61 pts) and her raw vote increase (+8.90%) outpaced both rivals
-Pratt is losing share despite gaining raw votes, meaning later batches favor Bass and Raman
-Bass holds a solid lead and her share is stable, suggesting sheโs likely to advance to the general either way
Mark Cuban recently asked why health insurers are not liable for malpractice when their denials harm patients. We've been asking the same question.
It's becoming clear to American public, physicians, and the adminstration that the health system is specificaly designed to avoid accountability.
