Anti-ICE Riots Spread Topline: As anti-ICE riots continue in L.A., more violent demonstrations have broken out in cities nationwide. In the last day, we’ve seen the demonstrations spread. In San Francisco, for example, more than 150 people were arrested after a riot began outside of an ICE office, where cars and city buses were destroyed, storefronts vandalized, and police assaulted. In New York City, at least a dozen protesters were arrested outside Trump Tower after resisting police while attempting to shut down traffic. Anti-ICE organizers say they are planning demonstrations in Chicago, Austin, Dallas, Atlanta, and elsewhere. But Los Angeles is still the epicenter of the unrest. A section of downtown is cleaning up after stores were looted and the area was vandalized, with a large Apple Store robbed by hundreds of rioters — we also saw jewelry and shoe stores looted as well. “This is ridiculous,” one local business owner told NewsNation. “This doesn’t look like they’re protesting for ICE or anything. … Just looting the stores.” L.A.’s Democratic Mayor Karen Bass continued to downplay the riots, saying on Tuesday that the violence is only taking place in “several isolated streets in downtown Los Angeles. It is not even all of downtown Los Angeles.” Bass has made clear from the start that she places the blame on the Trump administration, which she says “provoked” unrest with their raids and threat of bringing in the National Guard. Bass has also said that the media has blown the situation out of proportion and that the LAPD has the situation under control. However, LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell said earlier this week that his force had been overwhelmed. “Tonight, we had individuals shooting commercial-grade fireworks at our officers. That can kill you. … We are overwhelmed as far as the number of people out there engaged in this activity. … There is no limit to what they are doing to our officers.” President Trump has deployed 700 U.S. Marines and 4,000 members of the California National Guard to the area since the unrest began. Speaking from the Oval Office on Tuesday, Trump had a clear message for folks in the rest of the country: the ICE raids will continue, and if you riot, we will respond with force. Democrats nationwide have continued to push back on Trump’s mobilizing of the National Guard and Marines, saying it is unnecessary and even fascist. Governor Newsom is suing the Trump administration, calling the mobilization of troops an “unmistakable step toward authoritarianism.” On Tuesday, he also filed an emergency motion requesting a restraining order to block the deployment of Guardsmen and Marines. Vaccine Panel Gutted Topline: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has fired all members of a key vaccine advisory panel. The Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices, known as ACIP, meets a few times a year and makes recommendations to the CDC; it basically sets the childhood vaccine schedule and makes other vaccine-related recommendations, like flu shots and COVID vaccines. ACIP also heavily influences which vaccines are covered by both public and private insurance. On Monday, Kennedy announced that he’s “retired” all 17 members. In an op-ed submitted to The Wall Street Journal, Kennedy argued that ACIP had become a rubber stamp for all vaccines, and they weren’t appropriately diving into potential safety risks. He wrote that ACIP has “never recommended against a vaccine—even those which were later withdrawn for safety reasons,” adding that the panel “failed to scrutinize vaccine products given to babies and pregnant women.” Kennedy also highlighted conflicts of interest from ACIP and cited past investigation findings that said ACIP’s enforcement of conflict of interest rules was “weak to nonexistent” and said the panel didn’t offer transparency with their decision-making. Thirteen of the 17 ACIP panelists were appointed by the Biden administration in 2024. Kennedy said that if he waited for them to serve out what is typically four years on the job, he wouldn’t be able to get a new panel until 2028, which is part of the reasoning for this swift “clean sweep.” College Athletes’ Pay Day Topline: College athletes can now be paid directly by their schools after a huge lawsuit was settled this week. A new era has dawned in the world of college sports. Something that was illegal just a week ago – schools paying players – is now the law of the land. A settlement in the case of House vs. NCAA, a class-action lawsuit which claimed the NCAA was illegally limiting the earning potential of college athletes, has been approved by U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken. This agreement ends three separate antitrust lawsuits, and it means schools can now begin paying their athletes directly. The first checks will be cut on July 1. The settlement doesn’t just affect current and future athletes. The NCAA will pay nearly $2.8 billion in back damages over the next 10 years to athletes who competed in college at any time from 2016 through the present day. The settlement comes with an annual cap, much like a salary cap in professional sports, that is expected to start at roughly $20.5 million per school in 2025-26. It will then increase every year during the decade-long deal. These new payments are in addition to scholarships and other benefits the athletes already receive. It will be interesting to see how each athletic department allocates that $20.5 million between their various sports, and how each program will continue to incorporate NIL deals on top of the revenue-sharing payments. “If you’re a fan of a group of 5 school, if you’re a fan of one of these middle schools, get ready for hard times,” sports commentator Paul Feinbaum said in response to the deal. “Women’s sports will be hurt, Olympic sports will be crushed, football wins, basketball — other than maybe the Big East — takes a slight back seat.” NCAA President Charlie Baker was more optimistic and said he believes the settlement will help regulate what has been a very volatile market in college sports. “Opportunities to drive transformative change don’t come often to organizations like ours. It’s important we make the most of this one.”

One evening, Lisa Axelrad found herself at an event. There were a number of other people here, but there was one guest in particular who caught her eye. It was a fellow mom, and she was clearly struggling. According to Lisa, Mom had “a newborn strapped to her chest, diaper bag slipping off her shoulder” and “her 5-year-old crying” out for her. If you’re a parent yourself, you can imagine how torn Mom looked in this moment. Lisa empathized with her dilemma and wanted to help… but she didn’t at first. Accepting help isn’t easy, and she didn’t know if this stranger would find her offer weird. Despite these concerns, Lisa found the courage to ask, “Want me to hold the baby so you can give your daughter some attention?” TikTok “I got to cuddle a warm, squishy baby for ten minutes,” Lisa writes in her social media post. “The 5-year-old got some love from her mom. Everybody wins.” Although many people are praising Lisa for what she did, this thoughtful mom insists that it’s the stranger who deserves it. So often we are taught that accepting help is selfish or a sign of weakness. Thoughtful Mom’s Sweet Interaction with a Stranger Reminds Us There’s Power in Accepting Help On the contrary, Lisa reminds us that accepting help is a key step in building community. Despite what we’re often told, community is oh-so-important. This is true for us all, no matter if you’re a parent or not. “When you accept help, when you let someone help you, THEY feel good about themselves. They feel CONNECTED to you,” Lisa explains. “… When we say no, we keep everyone at a distance … So next time someone offers to help — try saying yes. You might be surprised how much lighter you feel. And how good it makes them feel, too.” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!

Doodles are part poodle and part something else. Indy is a Bernedoodle, meaning he is a cross between a Bernese mountain dog and a poodle. His owner has begun doing a series of videos based on the “things he’s never seen” trend. An umbrella opening is something new for Indy, and it prompts a bouncy reaction. @eliana__.98 I think he was trying to be intimidating?? What a special guy #dogtok #bernedoodle #doodle #fyp ♬ Oogum Boogum Song – Brenton Wood Although most doodles are chill, relaxed, and super intelligent, sometimes the mix goes awry. We’re not saying that is what happened with this doodle, but he does seem to have a bit more of the poodle bounce than most. Full-size poodles are very bouncy and remain bouncy well beyond the puppy years. Indy’s reaction to the umbrella opening is shock at first. He looks up at it in disbelief. Then he bounces. When his Mom closes it, he looks confused by this thing he’s never seen. More bouncing comes when she opens it again. He seems pretty excited by the concept. Image from TikTok. Animals have different reactions to things they’ve never seen before. When the Busch Wildlife Sanctuary took a screech owl on a tour, he looked at everything with a discerning eye. Human father Stephen Spaulding took his infant daughter on a tour around the house, and her reactions were hilarious. Indy’s mom will do with this trend. The next new thing was tackling the basement stairs. During a hurricane evacuation, they were staying with a friend. The friend has a basement, and Indy had never seen stairs before. He cautiously made his way down, one step at a time. After these new things, fans are clamoring for more, and this may become a long series. Follow Eliana on TikTok for more fun and silly bounces from Indy. Please share. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.
