C.I.A. Deputy Director Has Replaced Agency’s Top Legal Official With Himself

This is so Bizarre. I’ve had multiple conversations this week with several people about Ellis. He’s the guy that stashed the perfect phone call transcript in a code word classified system. And took over prepub review of Bolton’s book. Now this. 1/ www.nytimes.com/2025/10/06/u...

I have to imagine Trump needs him to sign off on something legally dubious. Maybe it has to do with the new investigation into Bolton, or maybe a probe into the lie about Obama wiretapping the Trump campaign. Or maybe the drug boats. Who knows. But I’ll be watching. END/

California just signed a new trade partnership with Belgium.

We're committed to expanding economic and clean energy innovation — because California will always be a stable, reliable partner on the world stage.

I just signed legislation to further protect consumers and put money back in your pocket, including:

✅ Making it easier to get food delivery app refunds
✅ Banning car retailers from tacking on add-on services
✅ Strengthening our Financial Protection Department after Trump's gutting of the CFPB

Californians don't want to hear commercials at a volume any louder than what they were previously enjoying their program at.

Burbank Airport will have no air traffic controllers Monday evening, FAA warns Burbank Airport is bracing for impacted operations as air traffic controllers begin to call out in greater numbers due to the government shutdown.

Thanks, Donald Trump!

Burbank Airport has ZERO air traffic controllers from 4:15pm to 10pm today because of YOUR government shutdown.

California is the manufacturing capital of America, period.

We create more jobs, produce more goods, and drive more innovation than anywhere else in the country — because what gets built in California shapes the future and powers the U.S. economy.

BREAKING: We just won in court — again.

A federal judge BLOCKED Donald Trump’s unlawful attempt to DEPLOY 300 OF OUR NATIONAL GUARD TROOPS TO PORTLAND.

The court granted our request for a Temporary Restraining Order — HALTING ANY FEDERALIZATION, RELOCATION, OR DEPLOYMENT of ANY GUARD MEMBERS TO OREGON FROM ANY STATE.

Trump’s abuse of power won’t stand.

This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States.

America is on the brink of martial law.

Do not be silent.

This president needs to be removed from office‼️
This is an abuse of power‼️

🚨 🚨 🚨 BREAKING: Trump has seen the polls that a large majority of Americans blame Republicans for the shutdown.

NEWSMAX: The NFL just chose the Bad Bunny Rabbit or whatever his name, this guy who hates ICE, he doesn't like you. Do you think maybe we should just blow off the NFL, like a boycott?

TRUMP: I think it's absolutely ridiculous, and while we're at it I'd like them to change the kickoff rule.

It needs more gold.

NEWSMAX: The Insurrection Act. Is that going to be formally invoked?

TRUMP: If you take a look at what's been going on in Portland, it's been going on for a long time, that's insurrection

Trump: "Washington DC is now so safe. Restaurants are booming, nobody is being shot and killed. They come in from Iowa, Indiana, they come from all over the country and the parents end up getting a phone call that their son was killed. Not anymore ... Chicago is safe. Now it's really safe."

139 immigration judges have been fired, taken an early offer, or been involuntarily transferred. One of those immigration judges who was dismissed says she had been terminated without knowing why.

Update on the greatest coverup in the history of coverups:

SCOTUS would not consider Ghislaine Maxwell’s appeal.

Now it’s up to Jeffrey Epstein’s BFF to pardon her.

He’s currently pretending this isn’t the only thing he thinks about.

Last year they claimed “illegals” were voting, without any evidence.

They used fear mongering to push for voter suppression laws.

Now they claim “illegals” are getting free healthcare, again without any evidence.

So they can make healthcare unaffordable for millions of Americans.

Enough.

Bonta: Just minutes before the hearing, we got word that the Texas National Guard has been federalized.

We asked the judge to issue a broad order — one that applies to every National Guard unit in every state — stating that none of them can be deployed to Oregon.

She issued that order

WIC runs out this week

Matt Hayward: The healthcare price hike message is very effective for a number of reasons...

Lisa Gilbert: This is the moment we should be having this Shutdown Showdown, because although a shutdown is not good, what has already been happening is worse, and we know without a shadow of a doubt that Donald Trump will continue to unmake the federal government, whether we're in a shutdown or not
