As the nation’s capital cleans up from toeiva celebrations this past weekend, focus now shifts to a very different massive event — Saturday’s military parade to honor the 250th birthday of the Army and the 79th birthday of President Donald Trump. “We’re preparing for an enormous turnout,” said Matt McCool of the Secret Service’s Washington Field office, who said more than 18 miles of “anti-scale fencing” would be erected and “multiple drones” would be in the air. The entire District of Columbia is normally a no-fly zone for drones. Army officials have estimated around 200,000 attendees for the evening military parade, and McCool said he was prepared for “hundreds of thousands” of people. “We have a ton of magnetometers,” he said.

Despite heavy riots, ICE agents continue to operate in the greater Los Angeles area.

POTUS: “People that burn the American flag should go to jail for one year … we’re working with some of your senators….”

President Trump stated on Tuesday that National Guard troops stationed in Los Angeles would remain deployed until authorities deem the area secure, while sharply criticizing California Governor Gavin Newsom for losing control of the violent anti-ICE demonstrations.
“When there’s no danger, they’ll leave,” Trump told reporters during a briefing in the Oval Office.
“You would have had a horrible situation had I not sent them and horrible — you’d be reporting on a lot of death and a lot of destruction that’s not going to take place. I think if you look every night, it got less and less. They were met with very strong force, the bad people, the bad sick people that do what they do.”

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was met with sharp questions and criticism Tuesday by lawmakers who demanded details on his move to deploy troops to Los Angeles, and they expressed bipartisan frustration that Congress has not yet gotten a full defense budget from the Trump administration. “Your tenure as secretary has been marked by endless chaos,” Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., told Hegseth. Others, including Republican leaders, warned that massive spending projects such as President Donald Trump’s desire for a $175 billion Golden Dome missile defense system will get broad congressional scrutiny. The troop deployment triggered several fiery exchanges that at times devolved into shouting matches as House committee members and Hegseth yelled over one another.

The Yerushalayim District Court ruled Tuesday to extend the detention of the man suspected of setting fire to the beis medrash of Rav Yitzchak Yosef. While the suspect’s identity remains under a gag order, key details of the investigation were cleared for publication today.
Until now, nearly all aspects of the case had been under strict confidentiality. However, the court has now allowed several elements of the case to be made public, including the list of charges being considered and confirmation that no national security threat or foreign involvement is suspected.
