Boyle Heights warehouse fire is nearly out, fire officials say

Trump won't sign a bipartisan housing affordability bill, which sets restrictions on private equity ownership of homes. Why? He wants Congress to pass a racist voter suppression bill that's attempting to address a problem that doesn't exist. Meanwhile, he calls the affordability crisis a "hoax."

NEW: Just hours before a planned bill-signing ceremony, Trump said he would not sign a bipartisan bill aimed at increasing housing supply and lowering costs until Congress passes the SAVE Act. The anti-voting bill has been stalled in the Senate despite repeated pressure from Trump to advance it.

The government has a formula that decides whether safety rules are worth passing. And that formula was rewritten to put a new price on your life: zero dollars. #PublicHealth #EPA #News #Trump #climatechange

A cruel, chaotic, and corrupt president should be met with a Congress that fulfills its constitutional role providing a check and balance, that stands up and fights back.

President Donald Trump’s approval rating is nearing doomsday levels for the GOP, with the pollster American Research Group on Monday releasing a survey showing just 30% of Americans approve of the job he’s doing in office. Read more here: www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

Just before he was supposed to sign the historic ROAD to Housing bill, Trump chose to double-down on the SAVE Act—which even Mitch McConnell knows is a voter suppression hack.   Months before the midterms, Trump would rather censor voters than solve our housing crisis.

If he was out to deliberately poke a stick in Leader Thune’s eye, he could hardly have done better. Add the Pulte/702 fiasco. Add the Blanche vote, after his Trump/Epstein Files disaster and his slush fund mess. Add Reflecting Poll and JFK disasters. It’s piling up.

A 9% increase in pregnancy-related deaths in states with abortion bans. That’s the reality of a post-Dobbs America. @cortezmasto.senate.gov

Trump has visited his properties 259 times since the start of his second term…which began 520 days ago. That means Trump has spent nearly half of his term visiting his own properties that he still owns and profits from.

“We have 100, and we have a, I think, 290, 300-foot slit right through it, probably a box cutter or a knife of some kind,” Trump said Monday. A WH spokesperson told me today it's "shameful" that Dems "would lie" about the vandalism at the Reflecting Pool. There is no evidence of vandalism.

Governor Newsom has been briefed on reports of an earthquake in Mendocino County. The Governor’s Office is closely coordinating with emergency officials and assessing potential impacts and damage.

About 40 zoos and aquariums across the U.S. have responded to bombing and shooting threats in recent months that turned out to be hoaxes.

Trump has been trying to blame this mess on mysterious vandals, suggesting his political opponents came to the Reflecting Pool in the dead of night with knives to shred the blue sealant and dump algae into the water. (Literally laughing as I write this.)

Pete Hegseth continues his purge of the military’s senior ranks, as General Chris “C. D.” Donahue, widely seen as one of the Army’s rising stars, will step down, Nancy A. Youssef and Missy Ryan report.

We congratulate @bradlander.bsky.social on his resounding victory last night. MoveOn members showed up for affordability, working families, and a government that puts people first. Voters are backing leaders who will lower costs and push back against Trump's power grabs.

NEW: USPS is moving forward with Trump's attack on mail voting, proposing a rule that would require states to share private voter information to receive mail ballots. There's still time to fight back, Marc Elias writes: the public comment period is open through July 2. Submit your comments today👇

A woman testifying before Senate Democrats today shared her message for the Republicans: You cannot restrict access to a category of medical care, without consequences that reach every pregnant person in this country.

Some Democrats think the party has gone too far left and needs to readjust towards the “center.” Rubbish. Where’s the center between democracy and oligarchy, and why would Democrats want to be there?

BREAKING: Donald Trump is now saying he won’t sign the bill to limit private equity and corporate home ownership, lower housing costs, and build more housing until Congress passes the SAVE America Act. Just minutes ago he was planning to sign the housing bill today.

In our interview with former Epstein secretary Lesley Groff, she made it clear that she connected Epstein and Trump multiple times. Miss Groff has a lot of information on Epstein and those in his orbit. Her testimony plays a key role in moving this investigation forward.

Postmaster General David Steiner's admission conflicted with a rule the USPS adopted under his watch last year. The rule said the agency “does not administer elections, establish the rules or deadlines that govern elections, or determine whether or how election jurisdictions utilize the mail.”

Four years ago, the Supreme Court tore down Roe v. Wade with its disastrous Dobbs decision. Now, women face relentless attacks on their ability to make their own decisions about their body. We must not stop fighting until the Constitutional right to choose is restored. We are not going back.

Sen. Murray: Senate Republicans don’t just want women to stay pregnant, they want them to stay silent. Republicans don’t want to hear from the rape survivors they denied care. They don’t want to hear from the girls they forced into motherhood.
