Seeing what’s happening on TV vs here on the streets vs notifications I’m getting from my job (in DTLA) is interesting. ICE was reportedly spotted in Leimert Park. Definitely don’t believe the narrative the 🍊 is pushing.

Facts: - Governor Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass both publicly stated they did not request National Guard assistance. - Under normal circumstances, National Guard deployment requires state approval unless the Insurrection Act is invoked, which Trump has not done.

Watching Trump and Elon fall out is like watching two thieves argue over who got caught on camera. Newsflash: it was both of y’all.

The great thing about this Elon and Donald fight is that it’s escalating by the minute. By 7pm Elon will post that Donald wears a wig. By 8pm Donald will threaten Elon with deportation. By 9pm Musk will have posted proof that he hacked the election.

Please read, this is important. Sorry it’s long. Trump’s move to have Elon Musk step aside wasn’t a retreat. It was a distraction. With Musk’s name out of the headlines, many assumed the controversial Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had quietly ended. It hasn’t. It’s just changed hands.

Found this discarded on the street in front of my aunt’s house. Gonna keep it. Hell, I think I should frame this. To the student E. Goodwin, you should’ve held onto this gem, but I’ll hold onto it for you in case you’re looking for it.

KTLA Washington DC correspondent Trevor Shirley just said Gulf of America. And then Frank Buckley says he looks like JD Vance. I don’t know whether to applaud Frank on that burn or to start being concerned with KTLA…

Part of the lesson here is that Trumpists, like many bullies, don’t handle it well if you stand up to them rather than caving. If Trump or Vance or their supporters had any character this petulant display and Zelenskyy’s defiance would be humiliating to them.

FWIW my take on the Zelenskyy ambush. Zelenskyy has greater standing in the world right now than Trump, and Trump needs to reverse that, at least in the US. It may have worked -- who knows? A lot depends on the next two hours of coverage.
