California Senator Alex Padilla has expressed deep alarm over claims that former President Donald Trump directed the FBI to launch an investigation into protesters opposing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Los Angeles. The senator, a member of the Democratic Party, confirmed that he received a copy of the complaint detailing these allegations.
In separate developments, two major entertainment corporations, Paramount and Warner Bros Discovery, have officially completed their $110 billion merger. The deal, which was subject to intense scrutiny and opposition from several state attorneys general citing antitrust concerns, formally closed on Tuesday to create a new powerhouse in the entertainment industry.

Trump weaponizing the FBI is alarming, but let’s not ignore the media consolidation either. More voices lost.
