The White House press briefing gave the President a platform to frame his first year back in office as a relentless march of daily accomplishments. He highlighted regulatory rollbacks, border enforcement actions, and economic initiatives as proof that his administration is delivering “a win a day” for the country. Officials echoed that message, pointing to rapid policy execution and an aggressive pace of executive action. The briefing underscored one thing: Trump’s second term is defined by momentum, and he intends to keep it that way.

Rep. Doug LaMalfa’s death has opened California’s 1st District seat, Gov. Gavin Newsom waited until the last possible day under state law to schedule the special election for Rep. Doug LaMalfa’s vacant seat, ultimately setting it for August 4, 2026 - with a June 2 primary. His delay leaves the district without representation for months, a move critics say creates political complications for the already narrow U.S. House majority. The general election will use new districts created under Prop 50, which adds five congressional seats and reshapes California’s political map. The special election still uses old boundaries.

INTERVIEW: Fresno County Supervisor Garry Bredefeld discusses the new citizen‑driven proposal by activists to replace Measure C. Backed by the Transportation 4 All coalition, the plan mirrors the version that couldn’t gain full support from the Fresno Council of Governments, dedicating 65% of an estimated $7 billion to road repairs and 25% to public transit. Supporters argue the measure prioritizes neighborhood streets and equity, Bredefeld says not enough goes to roads. To qualify for the 2026 ballot, organizers must gather 35,000 signatures across Fresno County.

INTERVIEW: Assemblyman David Tangipa (R-Clovis) calls to discuss the federal three‑judge panel that ruled that California can move forward with its new, voter‑approved U.S. House map for the 2026 election, rejecting attempts by Tangipa (plaintiff) state Republicans and the U.S. Justice Department to block it. The court’s 2–1 decision allows the state to implement district lines designed to give Democrats a stronger chance at flipping several congressional seats next year. Opponents argued the map relied too heavily on race to boost Hispanic representation, but judges found no constitutional violation. Tangipa says he's now asking the Supreme Court to look at the case.

Whose side is the media on? Coverage of the latest Minneapolis ICE shooting has quickly split into competing narratives. Outlets citing the Department of Homeland Security emphasize officials’ claim that the Venezuelan man (along with two others) “ambushed and attacked” an ICE officer during a targeted traffic stop, noting he fled in a vehicle, crashed, and later struggled with agents before being shot in the leg. Other reporting highlights the timing — exactly one week after the killing of Renee Nicole Good — and claims ICE agents are creating chaos in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Public anger continues to build after the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, with many women leading protests and demanding accountability. Commentary from Joy Reid intensified the conversation after she said, “This woman was part of a group of people who they train to try to be ICE interrupters… They try to observe what ICE is doing, film them, and try to use their white privilege, to be honest — they’re mainly white people.

The Supreme Court heard landmark arguments on state bans preventing transgender girls and women from competing in female sports, focusing on cases from Idaho and West Virginia. Several conservative justices signaled support for the bans, pressing attorneys on definitions central to equal‑protection claims. Justice Samuel Alito drew national attention when he repeatedly asked the lawyer for a transgender athlete to define “a man” and “a woman,” arguing that such distinctions are unavoidable if schools separate sports by sex. The exchange highlighted the Court’s struggle to balance fairness in women’s athletics with protections for transgender students.

California’s proposed one‑time 5% wealth tax on billionaires has triggered a massive financial retreat, with an estimated $1 trillion in wealth already moved out of the state as ultra‑rich residents shift assets and business entities elsewhere. Critics warn the measure is accelerating an exodus that undermines the very revenue it seeks to raise, while Gov. Gavin Newsom himself has called the proposal “really damaging” amid reports of billionaires relocating money and operations out of California. Supporters argue the tax targets extreme inequality, but the economic fallout is already reshaping Silicon Valley’s financial landscape.

The Supreme Court is examining whether state laws in Idaho and West Virginia that ban transgender girls and women from participating in female sports violate the Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause and Title IX. The justices are hearing challenges brought by transgender athletes who argue these bans discriminate based on sex and transgender status. Supporters of the laws claim they protect fairness in women’s sports by requiring teams to be designated by biological sex. This marks the Court’s first major review of transgender sports restrictions, a debate now affecting more than half of U.S. states.   Please Like, Comment and Follow 'Broeske & Musson' on all platforms:    ---     The ‘Broeske & Musson Podcast’ is available on the KMJNOW app, Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever else you listen to podcasts.     ---   ‘Broeske & Musson'   Weekdays 9-11 AM Pacific on News/Talk 580 AM & 105.9 FM KMJ   | Facebook | Podcast| X |    -   Everything KMJ    KMJNOW App | Podcasts | Facebook | X | Instagram
