“The US president and his sons have added at least $2.3 billion to the family fortune from their main crypto ventures, while the investors they've wooed have taken a $2.3 billion hit, a Reuters examination found.”

Oh just the Spurs trying to blow it again… ho hum

I think I say this every 4 years but it’s very difficult to go from the Stanley Cup Playoffs where guys sacrifice their bodies, playing through pain, to the World Cup where you can’t go 5 minutes without someone diving, flopping or writhing on the ground from minimal contact.

We can't verify all the claims in this post, but we can fact-check some. Kobe was not an LA County voter, and his OC registration is canceled. Perry's voter record had been inactive since before his death in 2023. We found no voter records for Yul Brynner or Rock Hudson. 1/3

This is deceptive. The law says if there is no post mark, the election official shall refer to the date, if provided, by the voter with their signed oath. Multiple methods of checking for a postmark precede this, and the number of ballots without postmarks are very low.

With the latest release of votes today from LA County, Nithya Raman has officially overtaken Spencer Pratt, and moved into second place in the race for Los Angeles mayor. We have the latest coming up in 5 minutes on @ABC7

LA County and California are facing a lot of accusations over the voting system. LA County Registrar addresses some of those accusations here:

The “accepted” message confirms your ballot was received and cleared for counting. Counting does not occur until after the polls close. All mail ballots accepted through Sunday were included in the initial vote returns first released this evening.

Aaron Donald just texted Pat McAfee on ESPN on comeback rumors after the Myles Garrett trade: "It for sure got me thinking...35, removed two years ago, gotta see if that fire can light back up." 👀

It looks like Aaron Donald. One of the 5 greatest players in Pitt history. And a man who invited me to his draft party. Is plotting a return to the NFL. With the Rams. They might go 17-0.

Let’s just say that’s more than just imagination……..all I can tell you right now.

Myles Garrett to LA!

Cancer patients who happened to get a regular COVID shot kept outliving the ones who didn't. The lung cancer patients who got it lived about 37 months. The ones who skipped it lived 21. A flu shot did nothing, only the COVID kind, and nobody planned it. Doctors at MD Anderson, one of the top cancer hospitals in the US, dug through more than a thousand patient records. Everyone in the group had advanced cancer and was on the same kind of treatment, called immunotherapy, which turns your own immune system loose on the tumor. The only difference was whether they'd also gotten a Pfizer or Moderna shot within about three months of starting. The ones who had lived far longer. Three years in, 56 out of 100 vaccinated lung cancer patients were still alive, against 31 out of 100 who weren't. The shot doesn't teach your body what the tumor looks like. It just trips an alarm. Your immune system sends cells into a tumor, and a lot of them go quiet and stop fighting. The mRNA in the vaccine, the same stuff in the COVID jab, acts like a fire alarm. It wakes those cells up, pulls them back to the lymph nodes where the immune system regroups, and sends them out hunting. The cancer gets caught in the sweep. That accident is the seed of what people now call a universal cancer vaccine. The goal is one shot that works against any cancer, precisely because it isn't aimed at a specific one. It wakes the body up and lets the body do the rest. A University of Florida team led by Dr. Elias Sayour has been after this for more than eight years. In 2018 they found that even random genetic instructions, nothing to do with any tumor, could stir the immune system in mice. In 2024 they ran their first human test, a custom-built version, on four patients with one of the deadliest brain cancers, and watched it switch the immune system on within days. Last year they built a one-size-fits-all version that erased tumors completely in some mice with skin, bone, and brain cancer. It's early, and a little caution is fair. The tumor-erasing results are still in mice. The human survival numbers come from digging through old records, not a clean head-to-head trial. That trial is being set up now. The detail that stuck with the researchers: the people who gained the most were the ones whose cancer the immune system usually walks right past. In that group, a plain COVID shot lined up with being nearly five times as likely to be alive three years later.

President Trump has twice been found liable for defamation against E. Jean Carroll and been ordered to pay her $88.3 million in damages. Today he reposted this which calls Carroll “a habitual liar”:

For Memorial Day, do yourself a favor and take three minutes of your time to listen to this Civil War letter from Maj. Sullivan Ballou to his wife. I just started re-watching the Ken Burns series, which debuted in 1990 to a record-breaking audience of 40 million, for the first time since it originally aired. While I had forgotten all of the specifics of the show over the years, I NEVER forgot this letter or this moment, which closed the first episode. Burns kept a copy of the letter in his wallet for 25 years.

Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend

Evacuation zones are being re-evaluated after the catastrophic explosion threat at a Garden Grove chemical tank was eliminated, officials said. Despite the update, residents are urged not to return to current evacuated areas, with more details expected at a 6 p.m. Monday press conference. abc7.la/mm0LYA

This claim is a LIE. Congress created adjustment of status in 1960. It's not a loophole. In fact, @USCIS's OWN WEBSITE says that getting a green card from inside the United States was expressly intended by Congress! Just wait; give it 24 hours and they'll erase that history.

In an update on Sunday evening, Orange County Fire Authority officials said they have discovered multiple cracks in an unstable chemical tank at GKN Aerospace, not just one. AIR7 video shows firefighters climbing a ladder up to the top of the tanks. Read more: abc7.la/E9MiIV

I was in the middle of taping on my iPhone for a social video from the White House North Lawn when we heard the shots. It sounded like dozens of gunshots. We were told to sprint to the press briefing room where we are holding now.
