RFK Jr.: HHS Moves to Restore Public Trust in Vaccines

California is gearing up to take legal action against President Trump over his decision to deploy the National Guard in Los Angeles amid recent protests. The state argues the move is an overreach and plans to challenge it in court, aiming to block the troop deployment.

Protests in Los Angeles have escalated dramatically, with LAPD using rubber bullets and teargas to disperse crowds blocking a major freeway. Demonstrators set self-driving cars on fire, and tensions flared further after President Trump threatened to deploy thousands of National Guard troops. Around 300 troops are already on the ground, signaling a potential intensification of the crackdown.

Former UNC basketball star Rashad McCants sat down for a wide-ranging interview, sharing his takes on the NBA Finals, Bill Belichick’s rumored move to UNC, and his thoughts on Michael Jordan. McCants, never one to shy away from strong opinions, gave unfiltered insights that fans of sports drama will eat up.

Editor’s Note: McCants has been a polarizing figure since his college days, so his candid takes—whether you agree with them or not—always spark conversation. With Belichick’s potential college move and Jordan’s enduring legacy in the spotlight, McCants’ perspective adds fuel to ongoing debates in the sports world. It’s not breaking news, but it’s the kind of interview that gets people talking.

Elon Musk and Donald Trump might be cooling their long-running feud—at least a little. After Trump shared a clip wishing Musk well, the billionaire CEO responded with just a heart emoji. No words, no drama, just a tiny digital gesture that hints at a thaw in their tense history.

Editor’s Note: These two have butted heads (and tweets) for years, so even a small sign of détente is noteworthy. Musk’s influence in tech and Trump’s in politics mean their relationship—whether rocky or friendly—could ripple through everything from social media policies to electric vehicle regulations. A heart emoji won’t solve their differences, but it’s a reminder that rivalries aren’t always set in stone.

Editor’s Note: Beyond the playful rivalry, this game is a rare moment where politicians step out of partisan trenches and bond over America’s pastime. It humanizes them—and reminds us that even in divided times, there’s room for a little fun.
