BREAKING NEWS: Gavin Newsom just filed a FOIA request demanding DOJ emails, texts, memos, and Signal messages mentioning him or his wife.
The request specifically names Pam Bondi, Emil Bove, and Todd Blanche.
Why?
Because Newsom says federal agents have been contacting friends, former employees, donors, and associates while "trying to find" a crime.
So now California's governor is demanding the DOJ's receipts.
If they're investigating him, he wants to know what they've been saying about him.
We’re bribing Iran with hundreds of billions of dollars for an outcome that our intelligence community assesses Iran isn’t even going to agree to.
Absolute clown show.
Shasta County, CA, recently approved one of the most sweeping local attacks on voting since 2020: a measure that would end most mail-in and early voting, require strict photo ID to register and vote and force election officials to hand count ballots. https://t.co/UNf7EehEM0
BREAKING: In a stunning moment, the former US Ambassador to NATO just exposed Trump's Iran deal for what it is: a temporary plan that doesn't end Iran's nuclear ambitions or its permanent hold on the Strait of Hormuz. This is horrific for the U.S.
Ben Meiselas on Ukraine joining the EU: That process is now formally beginning. A real deal taking place, Donald. Your America First doctrine means America Alone. And as PM Carney of Canada said, the future of the world's strength right now is growing out of Europe and Europe finding its identity ... So Donald, while you're out there weakening the United States, Ukraine is forming the backbone of a strengthened European Union.
Scott Reid on Mark Carney at the G7: They look to him because of his experience, because of the personal relationship, and they look to him because of Davos. They look to him in some ways as the alternative leader. And so I do think he will play a personally significant role.
👀HUGE scoop from @CarolLeonnig.
MS Now confirms the Trump administration has been pressuring career civil servants to “COME UP with a case against Gavin Newsom.”
Tennessee is sending letters to immigrant parents of disabled and terminally ill children enrolled in a last-resort public health program — kids on ventilators, kids with cancer, kids in wheelchairs - telling them that if their child keeps receiving medical care after June 30, the state will report them to ICE.
This program has existed for over 50 years. It has never required immigration status. Until now.
Children's Special Services is Tennessee's last-resort public health insurance program for low-income kids with the most severe disabilities and life-threatening illnesses - kids with no other coverage, no other options. The state just sent letters to at least 90 Nashville families giving them an impossible choice: keep your child alive, or stay invisible.
One mother, Gabriella, has a 10-year-old son born with spina bifida who requires near-monthly emergency care. They're six months from a final ruling on their asylum case. She said if they're sent back to Honduras, "he's not going to make it."
Here's the part that should make your head explode: the law Tennessee is using to justify this explicitly applies only to people 18 and older. These are children. Pediatricians, advocates, and lawmakers are all saying the state is misapplying its own law to reach kids it was never meant to cover.
The Tennessee Justice Center says the directive is unlawful and is preparing a legal challenge. But families are afraid to come forward as plaintiffs. Because coming forward means being seen.
The state health department has not responded to a single press request for comment.
What kind of government sends a letter to the mother of a child on a ventilator and calls it immigration enforcement?

ICE vehicles hit their car while their children were inside. Then agents dragged the parents out during drop-off and a preschool graduation, in front of crying kids. All on school property.
https://t.co/du9bv2U4pY confirms that schools are supposed to be safe places for children, not federal ambush zones.
That’s not public safety. That’s state-sponsored trauma.
The ammunition to fight ICE is here: https://t.co/Txyhf9LSil
🇫🇷 French President Macron has just delivered a huge shock to Trump
He said: It's not the Americans or Trump who decide France's Future nor do they decide French or European law.
That will not happen as long as I'm alive🔥
He is not bending infront of Trump. What a leader 👏
Canada is the first non-European nation to join SAFE — the EU’s joint defence readiness initiative — and we’re already seeing results.
Because we joined, Montréal-based Marconi Technologies will build made-in-Canada tactical radios for the Polish Cyber Command. This contract is worth more than $10 million and will benefit nearly 100 Canadian suppliers, their workers, and their families.
BREAKING: Benjamin Netanyahu says he will not comply with President Trump’s peace deal with Iran and will strike Iran and Lebanon whenever he deems necessary.
Netanyahu says he does not see eye to eye with Trump on the issue and that he is responsible for Israel’s security.
Nethanyahu needs to be removed.
BREAKING WSJ:
The Trump Justice Department's senior leadership closed an investigation of Paramount's bid for Warner Bros. Discovery before career staffers who were concerned about the acquisition had an opportunity to object, according to people familiar with the matter.

Great discussion with @MarkJCarney in Evian.
Canada is truly the most European of the non-European countries.
We are working together on digital trade, critical raw materials, and defence.
We are also stepping up our cooperation on energy.
Our next Summit, on 29–30 October in Canada, will be a major milestone in a partnership that continues to grow deeper and broader.
Sheryl Crow speaks out after Trump’s UFC 250 event: “To stay quiet means to turn a blind eye. And so I am saying this. What happened last night on the lawn of the White House was disgraceful and void of decency. Powerful, rich people filled the lawn to watch a violent sport that ended with a vile and racist comment. All while the average American cannot afford healthcare, gas, and cost of living. Do not be fooled. This administration is corrupt and does not give a damn about the American people. It only cares about making money hand over fist at the expense and in spite of our democracy. If we continue to support this kind of distraction from reality, we are no better than them. Let's be better, America.”
Carney: Canada is very pleased to be accepting your invitation to join this exceptionally important initiative, Ocean Eye. The European Union, as is often the case, increasingly the case, stepping up to help solve global challenges.
