June is recognized as Immigrant Heritage Month in the United States, a time to celebrate the contributions and diverse backgrounds of immigrants. This month-long observance, established in 2014, aims to foster understanding and appreciation for the immigrant experience and the positive impact immigrants have on American society. It's a chance to acknowledge the rich tapestry of cultures and stories that immigrants bring to the nation.   More than half of Los Angeles is comprised of immigrants, which is why the city found it fitting to honor them in a special way. Steve Angeles tells us how the City of Angels has dedicated the month of June for its foreign-born residents. While the Trump Administration attacks immigrant families, we fight for the dignity they deserve and the shared prosperity they create. This Immigrant Heritage Month, we celebrate those who boldly choose and strengthen the California Dream. - Gavin Newsom While the Trump Administration attacks immigrant fa...

Watch live coverage as Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) speaks on the Senate floor about being forcibly removed from a news conference in Los Angeles last Thursday after he tried to question Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem during a media event related to immigration. Trump insisted that his administration would target only violent criminals but his increasingly cruel immigration crackdown shows that couldn't be further from the truth. pic.twitter.com/XaeS5zMPxC — Alex Padilla (@AlexPadilla4CA) June 16, 2025 I am leading all Senate Democrats in demanding that Trump remove all deployed military forces from Los Angeles.

Rachel Maddow explains how Trump’s tariffs policy came from his economic advisor Peter Navarro, who invented a fake expert in his books to justify it “Ron Vara is an anagram of Navarro.” Jared Kushner found Peter Navarro, an economist and senior counselor for trade and manufacturing for U.S. President Donald Trump, after Kushner browsed Navarro's book "Death by China" on Amazon and asked him to join Trump's 2016 presidential campaign as an economic adviser. “At one point, Ron Vara wrote in the memo that Trump could, quote, ‘Ride the tariffs to victory,’” Maddow said. The problem is, Ron Vara doesn’t exist. He never has. The economics expert that Peter Navarro has long cited to explain why he’s so gung-ho on tariffs, this person, Ron Vara, is a made-up person.” “He is a fictional person. Peter Navarro invented Ron Vara as his expert source, so he could quote this expert source over and over and over again in his crackpot books,” she continued. “Who is Ron Vara? R...

Following the election victory of United States President-elect Donald Trump, the Philippines' ambassador to the country Jose Manuel Romualdez advised the 250,000 to 300,000 illegal Filipino immigrants in the US to leave voluntarily to avoid being blacklisted. "My advice to them is to immediately leave voluntarily because once you are deported you can never come back to the United States," Romualdez said in a forum of the Foreign Correspondents Association of the Philippines on Friday (November 8).

She was chosen by president-elect Trump to serve as the 32nd White House chief of staff in the second Trump administration, set to begin in January 2025.

George Clooney, a supporter and donor of President Joe Biden’s re-election campaign, said in a New York Times op-ed that Biden should pull out of the 2024 race. WOW. I did not see this happening. But I'm not surprised at George Clooney's op-ed in that he is a big donor and fundraiser. NBC News’ Peter Alexander reports on how the campaign is responding to several calls from Democrats for Biden to end his run. In Opinion George Clooney writes: “This is about age. Nothing more. But also nothing that can be reversed. We are not going to win in November with this president.” https://t.co/BOkwvhjNsI — The New York Times (@nytimes) July 10, 2024 My friend George Clooney has clearly expressed what many of us have been saying.
