Admittedly, I haven’t been paying much attention to the Los Angeles mayoral race, but a LEGO-animated campaign ad caught my attention, and I just had to write about it. The ad, published this week in support of Spencer Pratt's 2026 campaign for mayor of Los Angeles, is making the rounds online, and for good reason. It's a parody of "Everything Is Awesome" from The Lego Movie, set against a LEGO-animated cityscape that tells the dirty truth about the city under Karen Bass’s leadership. It opens with a scene that cuts straight to the truth: a man assaulting a police officer on a city street.

The Supreme Court delivered a major blow to Democrats in their last-ditch effort to implement a gerrymandered map that would have given them a 10-1 advantage. The Court rejected a motion filed by Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones seeking to overturn the state Supreme Court's decision invalidating the map for violations of the state constitution. Questions about when election day begins were the basis for bringing this case into federal court, since it revolves around a state court ruling on a state constitutional issue. It was a last attempt—and it failed. The application for a stay was officially denied by Chief Justice John Roberts this afternoon.

The US Senate on Thursday unanimously approved a resolution to withhold their pay during a government shutdown. The resolution, adopted by voice vote, was authored by Republican Senator John Kennedy (LA). “My resolution to stop senators’ pay during government shutdowns cleared a key procedural vote today, moving it one step closer to final passage,” Kennedy said on Wednesday afternoon ahead of the Thursday vote. “Fair-minded Americans know senators should feel the pain of a shutdown with the American people,” Kennedy said. Kennedy’s resolution suspends Senators’ pay during partial or full government shutdowns. “It’s called shared sacrifice,” Kennedy said.

A Sarasota, Florida, woman, Desiree Doreen Segari, has been sentenced to over a year in prison after calling on social media followers to murder Trump supporters, according to the Middle District of Florida’s US Attorney’s Office. Segari will now serve 14 months in federal prison for interstate communication of a threat to injure. Segari previously called for Trump supporters to be shot dead in a video posted to TikTok last August. “If we all get our guns and use our Second Amendment right … and you see somebody with a MAGA hat, ‘pew pew’ that’s what we do, that’s the way,” she told followers.

A Dallas judge has apparently been running her courtroom like it's spring 2020. Masks required. Health screenings required. Discussion of gastrointestinal symptoms required. The only thing missing was a six-foot social distancing sticker on the floor. And honestly, who knows? The WHO — yes, that WHO, the same unelected international health bureaucracy that spent the early days of COVID-19 cheerleading for China and assuring the world there was "no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission" — convened its Emergency Committee for the 15th time and finally called it. COVID emergency over. May 5, 2023. Done.

President Barack Hussein Obama's Presidential Center opens in Chicago's Jackson Park on June 19, and plenty of admirers will treat the moment like a civic holiday with ticketed entry. Nobody should pretend the Obama project reached opening day after some gentle stroll through paperwork. The Obama Foundation chose 19.3 acres inside historic Jackson Park, a public space with deep civic roots, and fought years of legal challenges from Protect Our Parks over public land, process, environmental concerns, and whether the project served the public interest. The center moved ahead anyway, wrapped in the soft language of community, democracy, and uplift. President Donald Trump's planned presidential library in Miami

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is having a rough time right now. For months, the Speaker’s gavel looked to be easily within his reach come November, but recent developments have made it look like it could slip away. He’s a little touchy about it. During a press conference on Wednesday, Jeffries had a bit of a tantrum, not only invoking the Confederacy but snapping at a CNN reporter who dared to ask him a question. Last month, the Supreme Court issued a 6-3 ruling in Louisiana v. Callais, striking down Louisiana’s congressional map as an unconstitutional racial gerrymander. The ruling opened the door for several red states to redistrict

When you’ve gone out of your way to brand yourself as the last morally pure, ideologically consistent man in D.C., your Achilles’ heel is very specific: The moment you’re exposed as being just as self-serving, hypocritical, and full of feces as everyone else, your career is over. Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) built his brand on being so dedicated to transparency, integrity, and libertarian values that not even the president of the United States could get him to budge. Love him or hate him, Massie lives by a moral code: He believes what he believes, and if you don’t like it, too frickin’ bad.

Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt and his campaign have put out some brilliant ads as he competes against the failed Democrat incumbent Karen Bass and the far-left democrat socialist City Councilwoman Nithya Raman (and a host of also-rans), with some saying they are among the best commercials they’ve ever seen. There’s a new spot that debuted Sunday which shows the former reality star, whose house burned to the ground down in the disastrous Pacific Palisades fire in January 2025, that shows he’s got practical ideas to fix the failing city, he understands the pain of regular Angelenos who have seen their once-wonderful city slowly sink into despair and destruction,

It's always good to have a Plan B, even if you're the President of the United States. Granted, presidents generally have a replacement, in the form of the vice president, and in the current term, Vice President JD Vance has proven to be worth his salt. Even so, when you're not just President of the United States, but a guy who has been the target of not one, not two, but three assassination attempts, a little extra contingency planning isn't the worst idea. President Trump apparently thinks so. Deputy Assistant to the President Sebastian Gorka, on a podcast recently,

A new poll suggests that a sizable number of Democrats -- more than 40% in some cases -- believe the attempts on President Donald Trump's life were fake. The poll, which surveyed 1,000 Americans over the age of 18, was conducted by NewsGuard and YouGov. It asked people to respond to three statements: "The assassination attempt against Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents Dinner in April 2026 was staged." "The assassination attempt against Donald Trump at a Trump presidential campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, in July 2024 was staged." "The assassination attempt against Donald Trump at Trump International Golf Club in September 2024 was staged."

Several Frontier Airlines passengers suffered minor injuries over the weekend when their plane, departing from the Denver airport, struck a person trespassing on the runway. That person was killed after being hit by the plane's engine, which caused an explosion and fire that aborted the takeoff. That man has now been identified, which is raising questions about whether this was a sinister act, given his extensive criminal history. Authorities said Michael Mott, 41, was the man hit by the plane on May 9. Mott has been arrested 20 times previously, including for attempted murder. He was most recently arrested about a month before he trespassed at the Denver airport.
