A luxury RV company is trying to evict a group of squatters who took over a storage lot of campers in the city of Industry. "We've noticed that several of the trailers have been burning," worker Marilyn Martinez said. "There's homeless here sometimes late at night. They're coming in and out." Martinez, who works near the lot, said a city of squatters started taking over the overflow storage area months ago. Since then, they've piled up massive mounds of trash and debris. The company, Black Series RV, said trespassers are now living in at least 50 campers, which are worth anywhere between $40,000 and $100,000. read more
The city of Shoreline canceled an upcoming "Coffee with a Cop" event at Pilgrim Coffee after community activists vowed to protest, upset that the owner is a conservative Christian. "Coffee with a Cop" allows residents to meet with officers at a local coffee shop as a way to strengthen the relationship between the police department and the community. But when Pilgrim Coffee was chosen, a small group of activists let the city know they were unhappy. After complaints, the city of Shoreline pulled the plug on the March 26 event. "It was neither the department's nor the City's intent to make any community member feel unwelcome based on the selection of the event venue and the values that the venue may or may not hold. When planning future events, we will be more intentional with our venue selection," the city said on Facebook, making it clear that the ownership of venues must pass a political and religious litmus test to be considered.
Bystander video of a woman launching into a MAGA hat wearer, literally, in the New York City subway has gone viral. The unidentified woman is caught on camera calling the man wearing a red "Make America Great Again" hat a "racist." "If you f----ing voted for Trump, you're a racist!" she shouts in the video while pointing at the passenger wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat. "He's a racist!" she added. "How can I be racist?" asked the man in response, turning to his friend in the subway car. "Just watch the news," she added. The man replied, "I am highly educated." "Oh, are you? Then why are you wearing that hat?" she asked while pointing in the man's face. "Only uneducated people wear that hat." read more
Progressive Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, is being slammed online as "unhinged" for using violent rhetoric implying that Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, "has to be knocked over the head, like hard." Cruz responded to the controversy simply by posting a meme to X. Crockett was recently warned by U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi to "tread very carefully" after calling for Elon Musk to be "taken down." Seemingly not heeding Bondi's warning, another interview clip surfaced today of Crockett advocating for figuratively "punching" her fellow Texan, Cruz. In response to a question about how Democrats can win elections specifically in the red state of Texas, Crockett said, "I think that you punch, I think you punch, I think you OK with punching."
The head of the beleaguered U.S. Postal Service, Louis DeJoy, resigned Monday after nearly five years in the position, leaving as President Donald Trump and Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency have floated the idea of privatizing mail service. DeJoy had said last month he planned to step down but hadn't set a date. He leaves an agency with an uncertain future. Trump has said he is considering putting USPS under the control of the Commerce Department in an attempt to stop losses at the $78 billion-a-year agency, which has operated as an independent entity since 1970. It has struggled at times to balance the books with the decline of first-class mail. read more
