We Have Breaking News — This Is Unprecedented
Moments ago, Donald Trump signed a presidential memorandum ordering the Department of Defense to deploy 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles, escalating the federal response to the rapidly unfolding crisis in the city. This marks a major turning point in what has been a tense standoff between local authorities, protestors, and federal law enforcement.
I’m shocked the media has not been covering this unprecedented news all night. But, if the media won’t, I will. I am going to be covering this story all night, so expect wall to wall coverage. If you believe in journalism that refuses to bow to power — journalism that risks everything to expose what’s really happening — now is the moment to stand with me. Subscribe today and be part of something that actually matters.
Meanwhile, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced that the National Guard is being mobilized IMMEDIATELY to support federal law enforcement on the ground in Los Angeles. In an even more stunning development, Hegseth added:
“If violence continues, active duty Marines at Camp Pendleton will also be mobilized — they are on high alert.”
This is significant and unprecedented. The activation of active duty U.S. military personnel to possibly be used on domestic soil, especially in a major American city like Los Angeles, raises extraordinary constitutional, legal, and ethical questions.
We are monitoring the situation minute by minute. Here's what we know so far:
2,000 National Guard troops are being deployed to L.A.
Federal law enforcement remains heavily engaged on the ground.
Camp Pendleton Marines have been placed on high alert.
The situation is fluid and escalating rapidly.
This is not just a law enforcement decision — it is a profound shift in federal posture toward the use of force domestically. We will be providing real-time updates as this unfolds.
If you are in Los Angeles or California more broadly, stay alert, monitor official channels, and please, stay safe.
We are witnessing history. We don’t yet know how this ends, but we know it just changed.
Stay tuned.
More soon.
