  3. So, when do you think the indictments will starts? Do you think they will start maybe like 3 months out, perhaps start out slowly, and then exponentially ramp up for the grand finale with perfect timing in October? What do you think?

    An LLM doesn’t have beliefs, but it can offer perspectives without ego. Something you might try to filter your mouth little fella.

    Trump administration blocked from deploying National Guard to LA

    A federal judge has said the Trump administration cannot deploy California's National Guard troops to Los Angeles.

    The judge's order to return control of the troops to California Governor Gavin Newsom will not go into effect immediately, giving the administration time to respond.

    The state sued President Donald Trump on Monday over his order to deploy the troops without Gov Newsom's consent. Trump said he was sending the troops - who are typically under the governor's authority - to stop LA from "burning down" in protests against his immigration crackdown.

    Local authorities have argued they have the situation in hand and do not need the National Guard.

    Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Thursday that he would obey a Supreme Court order to remove troops from Los Angeles but declined to show similar deference to other courts considering the issue.

    The Pentagon chief initially deflected when asked at a House Armed Services Committee hearing whether he would abide by a court’s decision if it determined President Donald Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops and Marines was unlawful.

    “What I can say is we should not have local judges determining foreign policy or national security policy for the country,” Hegseth said.

    But the Defense secretary later clarified that he would obey a decision from the high court.

    “We’re not here to defy a Supreme Court ruling,” he said.

    The comments mirror other officials who have criticized court rulings that go against the Trump administration, often directing withering criticism at lower-court judges while vowing deference to the justices.

    Trump has ordered the Pentagon to deploy 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to Los Angeles to protect Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel in response to mass deportation protests. California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who has said the troops are not necessary, is suing to remove them.

    The Trump administration, in a filing Wednesday, urged a federal judge to reject the lawsuit, calling it a “crass political stunt.”

    The matter is pending before U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer, who has an emergency hearing scheduled Thursday afternoon. Breyer declined Newsom’s request to immediately block Hegseth from using troops to support immigration arrests in Los Angeles.

    The issue marked a flashpoint during the third budget hearing this week for Hegseth and Joint Chiefs Chair Gen. Dan Caine, which ranged from Ukraine aid to Hegseth’s efforts to root out diversity, equity and inclusion programs in the department.

    Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) repeatedly pressed Hegseth on whether he would follow a court ruling. “You’re not willing to say you would respect those decisions?” Khanna asked.

    Hegseth replied: “What I’m saying is local district judges shouldn’t make foreign policy.”

    Newsom reposted a video of the exchange on social media platform X. “This is not normal,” he said.

    If Breyer sides with Newsom, the administration would likely appeal any order to limit the deployment to a California appeals court and then to the Supreme Court.

    The Defense secretary, in separate congressional testimony on Wednesday, suggested the administration could deploy troops elsewhere to assist in roundups and deportations. At that hearing, he wasn’t able to immediately cite the legal justification for the deployments.
