June 11, 2025: The Trump-Newsom clash heats up

As protests against ICE raids in Los Angeles continue, so does the standoff between California Gov. Gavin Newsom and President Donald Trump. In a dramatic eight-minute address last night, Newsom laid into Trump, touting the federal intervention and militarization of its response as a threat  to the rule of law. Meanwhile, Trump suggested yesterday that Newsom should be arrested — and that he’ll have zero tolerance for protests or disruptions at Saturday’s military parade in downtown Washington. Playbook author Jack Blanchard and contributing author Adam Wren break it all down. Plus, Republicans will meet today to discuss a path forward for the GOP megabill.
