TAKEOFF.
Protests Flare in LA as Guard Deployed.
Protests in Los Angeles escalated Sunday following President Trump’s deployment of 300 National Guard troops, as demonstrators blocked the 101 Freeway, set electric cars on fire, and rallied outside the Metropolitan Detention Center. See photos here.
LAPD declared multiple assemblies unlawful, using tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash-bangs to disperse crowds. Dozens of arrests were made, and traffic was cleared from the freeway by 5 p.m.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth warned that up to 500 active-duty Marines from Twentynine Palms could be deployed if violence continues. Watch a report here.
The Guard deployment—made without the governor’s request—drew objections from California officials and 23 Democratic governors. Citing a rebellion clause, Trump warned more troops could follow if unrest persists.
Trump Signs Series of Tech-Related Orders.
President Trump signed an executive order Friday updating “problematic elements” of two cybersecurity orders signed by Presidents Obama and Biden, looking to “refocus” government efforts toward “identifying and managing vulnerabilities, rather than censorship.”
The order indicates that only “foreign persons” can be sanctioned for cyber attacks on critical infrastructure, rolling back prior provisions that allowed for sanctioning domestic cyber criminals as well.
Trump also issued another executive order reversing the 52-year-old ban on supersonic flights, in an attempt to unblock the development of commercial supersonic travel.
In a third order, Trump sought to boost drone security in light of growing concerns and to increase domestic innovation in the drone industry.
AI Beats the Market, Raises Eyebrows on Wall Street.
Alejandro Lopez-Lira, a finance professor at the University of Florida, fed 134,000 news headlines into ChatGPT to see if AI could spot stock winners—and it did, generating a simulated return of over 650% from late 2021 to 2023.
When he took the model live through the Autopilot investing app, the AI-managed portfolio continued to turn a profit, and now oversees nearly $38 million in real assets.
While exact returns haven’t been disclosed, the experiment shows how quickly these tools are moving from theory to practice.
Lopez-Lira says the bots still need human input—but they’re already doing much of what analysts do, and faster.
POLITICS.
Aides to President Trump and Elon Musk held a call on Friday as the two paused their feud on social media, with one source saying, “The future of their relationship is totally uncertain.”
Meanwhile, Elon Musk reversed his threat to decommission the Dragon spacecraft hours after making the initial statement. Dragon plays a key role in ferrying astronauts to the International Space Station, with no immediate U.S. replacement available.
South Dakota officials are anticipating a cost of $2 billion over the next decade to build new prisons in order to keep pace with an expected 34% increase in new inmates.
President Trump and China’s Xi Jinping spoke June 5, setting the stage for fresh trade talks in London starting today. Top U.S. officials, including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, will lead negotiations.
A parade in Washington, D.C., this week celebrating the Army’s 250th anniversary is expected to showcase rocket launchers and missiles along with a 100 other aircraft and vehicles.
ABC senior national correspondent Terry Moran has been suspended for calling Trump official Stephen Miller a “world-class hater,” with the network stating it “does not condone subjective personal attacks on others.”

Long Ago, when the Roman Empire was at the height of its glory, a common saying was “All Roads Lead to Rome.” I want to tell you about a very special road — a road that existed then and still exists now. This road, now almost 2,000 years old, has never led to Rome. Yet, strangely enough, it is called the Romans Road.
