Transgender individuals accounted for a share of mass public shootings from 2018 to 2025 that was approximately six times their population proportion

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department officers, working with Henderson police and the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force, prevented what authorities described as a potential mass shooting or terror act when they arrested 36-year-old Allison Howlett in the parking garage of Sunset Station casino on June 27, 2026.

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that states can bar transgender female competitors from playing girls’ sports in a landmark decision with major implications for more than half the country, where such policies are in place.
In a 6-3 opinion, the high court determined that neither Idaho nor West Virginia had violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment with their bans, as well as that Title IX allowed states to separate sports teams on the basis of biological sex.
But the majority opinion by conservative Justice Brett Kavanaugh also underscored the importance of treating transgender athletes with respect.
The question is what Republicans hope to accomplish in November
By Jon Fleischman, June 30, 2026 6:00 am
Steve Hilton and Chad Bianco both ran serious campaigns. Both built statewide networks of donors, activists, volunteers, and supporters. Both gave Republican voters a real choice in a race where the party badly needed credible candidates making the case for change.
But it was always true that when the primary was over and the dust settled, there would be only one Republican moving on to November. And given California’s top-two primary system, even that was not guaranteed. For much of the race, Republicans worried that two Democrats could emerge from the primary and leave GOP voters without a candidate in the general election at all.
That didn’t happen. Instead, Republicans find themselves with an opportunity that many doubted would materialize. Hilton is headed to a general election showdown with Democrat Xavier Becerra. Ever since the race was called, the expectation has been that Bianco would endorse Hilton. That has not happened.
The question now is not who Republicans preferred in June. The question is what Republicans hope to accomplish in November.
I wwould like to know how all of the Independents here feel about This Issue?
The U.S. Department of Education may no longer be able to fully support students, it says in an internal report that lays bare the full extent of the Trump Administration’s first round of government cuts.
Shocking no one, a grim new report from San Francisco’s civil grand jury concludes that insanely expensive local spending on homelessness is being wasted on failed programs and ineffective nonprofit groups.
“San Francisco spends roughly $700 million annually on homelessness, and its Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing (‘HSH’) administers nearly $500 million on nonprofit contracts to deliver services each year, yet this system has gaps that jeopardize safety, accountability, and results,” the report says.

Marizel Yukee and co-conspirators allegedly submitted nearly a billion dollars in fraudulent claims to fund luxury lifestyle

A Las Vegas-based nurse practitioner has been federally indicted in one of the largest Medicare fraud schemes in recent years, accused of billing taxpayers nearly a billion dollars for medically unnecessary wound grafts, including on terminally ill hospice patients who died shortly after receiving them.
Marizel Yukee, a Nevada-licensed nurse practitioner from Las Vegas, was indicted June 18 in Houston federal court on charges of conspiracy to commit health care fraud, wire fraud, illegal kickbacks, and money laundering.
Prosecutors allege that from October 2023 to April 2026, Yukee and co-conspirators, including her daughter, submitted more than $906 million in fraudulent claims to Medicare and TRICARE for amniotic wound allografts. The government paid out roughly $297 million.
Yukee allegedly owned and controlled multiple wound care clinics, including Wound Medic in Pearland, Texas, with operations spanning Texas, Nevada, California, and Hawaii. Claims averaged over $1 million per patient, with grafts often applied to non-infected, already-healed, or ineligible wounds to inflate profits. Some hospice patients reportedly died days after treatment.

A lawsuit alleges that a nonverbal 13-year-old student with autism was locked in a Menifee school restroom for 5 1/2 hours, mocked and denied food.
The complaint against the Menifee Union School District also names teacher Lancelot Thomas and Hans Christiansen Middle School Principal Steven Melvin. It lists nine allegations, from false imprisonment and negligence to violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Thomas and Melvin could not be reached for comment over the past week. Melvin is listed on the school’s website as principal, but Thomas does not appear on the staff directory.
District officials could not comment on the case, because policy prevents the discussion of pending litigation, spokesperson Devina Ortega said in a Wednesday, June 10, 2026 email. When asked this week if Thomas still worked at the school or for the district, she did not respond.
The federal lawsuit will move forward after a recent attempt by the district to have the case dismissed failed.

And one-third of California’s state budget is made up of federal funding
By Katy Grimes, June 11, 2026 9:51 am
A new federal report released Wednesday by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Administration for Children and Families reveals that California gets 80% of the federal funding for Illegal Immigrant Families.
More than $617 million in taxpayer-funded cash welfare went to California households headed by illegal immigrant parents last year.
In 2024, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families basic assistance was provided to more than 85,000 child-only households headed by a parent excluded from the assistance unit because of immigration status, and California was the primary driver of the national total, accounting for about 59,600 households and about $617.5 million, or roughly 81% of nationwide spending on these cases.
Secretary Scott Turner just shot a carcass. News reports on Thursday announced the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has informed the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) that it will no longer receive federal funding.

Gavin Newsom’s China connection goes back to when he was Mayor of San Francisco
By Katy Grimes, June 10, 2026 2:02 pm
California Governor Gavin Newsom received $50,000 in campaign contributions from a top executive at a Chinese electric vehicle company (BYD) that Newsom fawned over during his 2023 visit to China. BYD is now on a Pentagon blacklist due to its ties to the Chinese military, the Washington Free Beacon reports.
If BYD rings a bell for California Globe readers, it should. In 2020, we reported that Gov. Gavin Newsom spent over $1 billion in taxpayer funds to buy masks from the Chinese electric vehicle maker BYD at the start of the COVID pandemic.
An electric car company suddenly pivots to making masks — and Newsom chooses them over American suppliers?
The White House has issued a scathing message to Los Angeles as it pulled the plug on funding for the city’s largest homeless agency.
The newly created Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, led by Vice President JD Vance, said “the fraud and corruption ends today” as it wiped out federal cash flow to Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority.
In a post on X, its executive director Scott Brady added: “For years American taxpayers have been sending billions to Los Angeles. The result? Fraud and corruption.”
The California Coastal Commission has threatened to shut down Sable Offshore’s crude oil extraction operations in the Santa Barbara Channel, claiming the company restarted its pipeline without a required state permit.
“These violations can be resolved amicably,” the commission’s Executive Director, Kate Huckelbridge, wrote to Steve Rusch, Sable’s vice president of Regulatory & Environmental Affairs.
“However, if such a settlement is not possible, we will be forced to resolve this violation through the proposal of unilateral orders at a hearing.”
