🇺🇸 NJ DEMS SHOVE THEIR WAY INTO ICE FACILITY HOURS AFTER MAYOR ARREST Hours after Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested for trespassing at a local ICE facility, 3 Democratic members of Congress — Reps. LaMonica McIver, Rob Menendez Jr., and Bonnie Watson Coleman — walked through the same gates in what they called an “oversight visit.” Homeland Security wasn’t buying it. The trio entered as an ICE bus pulled in, bypassing standard protocols and creating what the agency called a “security risk” to both officers and detainees. Some footage even shows McIver shoving and hitting law enforcement. Source: [@ericdaugh](

🇺🇸 NEWARK MAYOR ARRESTED! ICE TAKES ACTION AFTER LAWLESS BEHAVIOR Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, now a candidate for New Jersey governor, was arrested after refusing to leave an ICE detention center inside his own city. Baraka trespassed, ignored repeated orders to vacate, and got himself detained for it. Homeland Security called the arrest “unavoidable.” U.S. Attorney, Alina Habba: “He has willingly chosen to disregard the law. No one is above the law.” Baraka has long been at odds with federal immigration enforcement. This time, it went beyond policy and straight to handcuffs Source: @npub1m3rg...2wjm, Shore News Network

🇺🇸 CALIFORNIA PASSES JAPAN TO BECOME WORLD’S 4TH BIGGEST ECONOMY—BUT TRUMP’S TARIFFS COULD SINK THE WIN California just pulled ahead of Japan with a $4.1 trillion economy, making it the 4th largest in the world. Newsom celebrated the news, crediting tech, tourism, and avocado-fueled innovation. But there’s a catch: Trump’s tariffs are hammering California’s $300B trade industry—and experts warn that could knock the state back down the ranks. California grew faster than the U.S., China, and Germany last year, but with rising public-sector jobs, shrinking private ones, and trade partners spooked, it’s not clear how long the state can hold the line.

🇺🇸 TRUMP TO NEWSOM: WRONG COURT, BRO—TAKE YOUR TARIFF TANTRUM TO NEW YORK California Gov. Gavin Newsom is suing Trump over his tariffs, claiming he broke the rules by slapping taxes on imports without asking Congress first. But Trump’s DOJ just hit back with, “Yeah, take that lawsuit somewhere else.” Specifically, a special trade court in New York that handles stuff like this. Newsom says the tariffs are wrecking California’s economy. It’s basically courtroom dodgeball—but with way more legal jargon and less gym class energy. Source: NYP

🚨🇺🇸CALIFORNIA SUES TRUMP OVER TARIFFS — NEWSOM SAYS “HOW DARE YOU” Newsom and AG Rob Bonta are dragging Trump to court, crying foul over his global tariffs. They’re calling them “illegal and deeply troubling.” Their big argument? Only Congress can set tariffs, not a president using a 1977 emergency law like a Mario Kart power-up. Meanwhile, they say California’s economy is melting down, with farmers and exporters getting smoked. Newsom’s grand stand: “We’re protecting American families.” Sure — after banning plastic straws, this was obviously next. Source: The New York Times

🚨🇺🇸CALIFORNIA JUST SPENT $2.8 BILLION TO SAVE A HEALTHCARE PROGRAM THAT’S… KIND OF ON FIRE Newsom just hit the emergency button on Medi-Cal, California’s Medicaid program, which is currently drowning in bills—mostly because of a massive spike in coverage for illegal immigrants. Originally, this expansion was supposed to cost under $6 billion. Plot twist: it’s already at $8.4 billion. In one year. With 1.6 million undocumented enrollees and counting. Newsom’s answer? A $2.8 billion bailout and a “please help” loan request for another $3.4 billion. Total gap? $6.2 billion. It’s giving: budget black hole. Critics are not vibing. GOP Senate leader Brian Jones is shouting, “Legal residents come second!” and calling the whole thing a financial disaster waiting to happen. Meanwhile, patients are waiting longer, care is harder to access, and the system looks like it’s one overpriced Band-Aid away from collapsing. But Newsom? He’s all in—doubling down like it’s a Vegas table. Republicans are now demanding a full enrollment freeze before this turns into a full-blown policy meltdown. Source: Fox News
