Vance Faces Backlash For Fashion Critic Deportation Joke
JD Vance suggested on social media Monday that he is OK with the idea of deporting a menswear expert who has skewered the vice president's fashion sense.
Derek Guy writes about men's fashion for various outlets and has a popular account on X where he often criticizes the fashion choices of public figures, including right-wing politicians.
In March, Guy suggested that the vice president's pants are too slim, which causes them to ride up his legs when he sits.
i spoke to a bespoke tailor about this and he confirm: jd vance's pants are too slim, hence why they ride up on him like this https://t.co/dZmbrvxbV7

Although Guy keeps much of his identity private, he wrote a deeply personal X post on Sunday about his family fleeing the Vietnam War, calling the Trump administration's immigration policy 'inhumane.' He also shared that his mother brought him from Canada to the U.S. as a baby without legal documentation so they could reunite with his father.
Part of his X post mentioned the following:
I'm still unsure whether we technically broke an immigration law. The border between Canada and the United States was pretty porous (as it is today, for the most part).
But either way, since I came here without legal documentation, I eventually fell into the category of being an undocumented immigrant.
Yet, I've been in the United States since I was a baby. My identity and roots are very much based in this country, no different from anyone else.
Guy's post pointed out that the vast majority of immigrants ― undocumented or not ― are not 'MS-13 members' but 'are all like your neighbors.'
I debated whether to share my story on here, but I guess I will.
I think there's an idea out there that millions of violent criminals are pouring across the border, carrying machetes and drugs, looking to harm Americans. Certainly, while some people fall into that category, the…

However, his points were lost on some...
X user @growing_daniel saw the opportunity for Vance to get revenge on Guy for teasing the vice president's socks and pants, and seemed to suggest he should deport the menswear expert. 'JD Vance I know you're reading this and you have the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever,' he tweeted.

The vice president responded a short time later with a meme of Jack Nicholson from the 2003 film Anger Management, nodding vigorously in agreement.

Guy then responded to the vice president with some hilarious snark. 'i think i can outrun you in these clothes,' he wrote, posting photographic evidence of Vance's constricting pants and shirts.

Terry Moran out at ABC News following suspension over Stephen Miller tweet
ABC News is parting ways with correspondent and anchor Terry Moran just days after he posted a screed on X calling Donald Trump and his deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller 'world-class haters.' Two days after the network suspended him over the since-deleted tweet, ABC News asserted that Moran's contract was set to expire and, therefore, based on his social media posts violating the network's policies, they had decided not to bring him back. 'We are at the end of our agreement with Terry Moran and based on his recent post – which was a clear violation of ABC News policies – we have made the decision to not renew.,' an ABC News spokesperson told The Independent. 'At ABC News, we hold all of our reporters to the highest standards of objectivity, fairness and professionalism, and we remain committed to delivering straightforward, trusted journalism.' The termination is a stunning change of fortunes for Moran, who just six weeks ago had sat down with the president for a high-profile and newsmaking interview. During that one-on-one with Trump, Moran repeatedly pushed the president on his false claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia literally had 'MS-13' tattooed on his hands, prompting Trump to rage against the ABC News anchor throughout the interview. However, it was the two tweets about Trump and one of his top advisers — who is also the administration's immigration policy architect — that provoked intense backlash from the White House, which demanded ABC News take immediate action against Moran. 'Miller is a man who is richly endowed with the capacity for hatred,' Moran posted about Miller early on Sunday morning. 'He's a world-class hater. You can see this just by looking at him because you can see that his hatreds are his spiritual nourishment. He eats his hate.' He added: 'The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism. It's not brains. It's bile.' With MAGA world demanding that Moran be fired while liberals backed his posts as being factually accurate, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt called the veteran correspondent's tweet 'unhinged and unacceptable' before noting that the White House had reached out to the network to 'inquire about how they plan to hold Terry accountable.' She also expressed hope that Moran would 'either be suspended or terminated.' Shortly after Leavitt's post, the network would oblige. 'ABC News stands for objectivity and impartiality in its news coverage and does not condone subjective personal attacks on others,' an ABC News spokesperson said on Sunday morning. 'The post does not reflect the views of ABC News and violated our standards — as a result, Terry Moran has been suspended pending further evaluation.' Moran, who had been with the network since 1997, had previously served as the Sunday anchor for World News Tonight before moving to Nightline in 2005, where he co-anchored through 2013. Since then, he had been the network's senior national correspondent until his tenure abruptly came to an end this week. 'The fact that Moran was at the end of a contract cycle — his deal was set to expire on Friday, according to a person briefed on the matter — made it easier for ABC to take swift action,' CNN chief media analyst Brian Stelter reported. Ahead of Moran's termination, the New York Post reported that ABC News staffers were 'p*ssed' at the longtime reporter over the social media rant, with some even calling for him to be fired. It has also been suggested that network executives found themselves in an easy position to trim some salary from the budget amid belt-tightening at the company, particularly since Moran likely earned in the high six-digits. Still, the network is bound to receive criticism for seemingly capitulating to the administration once again, especially as media conglomerates and law firms have come increasingly under fire for appeasing the president rather than fighting back against his legal threats. It was just months ago that ABC News paid the president $15 million to settle a defamation case over anchor George Stephanopoulos claiming Trump was found liable of raping E. Jean Carroll. The president was found liable for sexual abuse.

Protesters throw rocks, jump on moving ICE vehicle after Omaha workplace raid
After a workplace ICE raid that resulted in the arrests of about 70 alleged illegal aliens at a meatpacking plant in Omaha, several protesters threw rocks and jumped on federal vehicles carrying out the operation. The AP reported that federal immigration authorities made the arrests at Glenn Valley Foods Tuesday morning. Fox News Digital reached out to ICE to confirm the raid but did not immediately hear back. ICE officials told the AP the raid was "based on an ongoing criminal investigation into the large-scale employment of aliens without authorization to work in the United States" and that it was likely the largest "worksite enforcement operation" in Nebraska since President Donald Trump took office. President Trump Calls For Jail Time For La Flag Burners, Slams Rioters Carrying Other Countries' Flags The Flatwater Free Press reported that the situation grew tense after protesters began gathering as a caravan of federal vehicles was leaving the plant. The outlet reported that several protesters jumped on moving law enforcement vehicles and "threw rocks and debris at the cars, shattering one window." Read On The Fox News App Video posted by the outlet shows what appears to be a line of federal vehicles surrounded by protesters on either side throwing objects, kicking the cars and yelling profanity and slogans like "f--- you, pig." At one point during the video, a window can be heard smashing. In another video posted by the outlet, two protesters jumped on the hood of a vehicle as it attempts to travel off. Violence erupted in Omaha with Los Angeles still battling violent anti-ICE riots and the rest of the country facing widespread protests against the Trump administration ramping up of ICE arrests and deportations. 'Very Big Force' Will Address Protestors At Saturday's Military Parade, Trump Says Protests over the raids in Los Angeles devolved into violence over the weekend as rioters targeted federal law enforcement officials by throwing rocks, and videos showed people looting stores, setting cars on fire and taking over a freeway. Trump announced Saturday he was deploying 2,000 National Guard members to help quell the violence, bypassing the governor, who typically activates the National Guard. The administration has also deployed several hundred active-duty Marines to respond to the riots. The move prompted Newsom to file a lawsuit against the Trump administration over efforts to allegedly "federalize the California National Guard," while Democrats across the nation have attempted to pin blame for the violence on Trump's activation of the National Guard while characterizing the anti-ICE riots as "peaceful" demonstrations. Immigration Authorities Highlight Criminal History Of Multiple Migrants Arrested In Los Angeles Speaking with reporters in the Oval Office Tuesday, Trump said Americans can expect additional immigration raids across the country similar to those in California, warning that any potential riots that break out in response to the raids will be met with "equal or greater force" compared to the government's handling of recent Los Angeles article source: Protesters throw rocks, jump on moving ICE vehicle after Omaha workplace raid

The White House Is Delighted With Events in Los Angeles
The Atlantic Daily, a newsletter that guides you through the biggest stories of the day, helps you discover new ideas, and recommends the best in culture. Sign up for it here. The last time President Donald Trump tried to send military forces into American streets to put down civil unrest, in June 2020, Pete Hegseth was positioned outside the White House with a Kevlar helmet and riot shield. Major Hegseth's mobilization as part of a District of Columbia National Guard unit summoned to restore order in the nation's capital, where protests had erupted following the police murder of George Floyd, occurred as Pentagon leaders scrambled to avert what they feared could be a confrontation between active-duty U.S. forces and their fellow Americans. Today, Hegseth is second only to the president in directing the administration's use of the National Guard and active-duty Marines to respond to unrest over immigration raids in Los Angeles. And this time, the military's civilian leadership isn't acting as a brake on Trump's impulse to escalate the confrontation. The Hegseth-led Pentagon is an accelerant. The administration's decision to federalize 4,000 California National Guard forces, contrary to Governor Gavin Newsom's wishes, and to dispatch 700 active-duty Marines to the Los Angeles area, marks a break with decades of tradition under which presidents have limited their use of the military on American soil. If there are any internal misgivings about busting through yet another democratic norm, they haven't surfaced publicly. Indeed, officials at the White House told us they are satisfied with the way the L.A. confrontation has unfolded. They believe that it highlights their focus on immigration and law and order, and places Democrats on the wrong side of both. One widely circulated photo—showing a masked protester standing in front of a burning car, waving a Mexican flag—has been embraced by Trump supporters as a distillation of the conflict: a president unafraid to use force to defend an American city from those he deems foreign invaders. 'We couldn't have scripted this better,' said a senior White House aide granted anonymity to discuss internal conversations. 'It's like the 2024 election never ended: Trump is strong while Democrats are weak and defending the indefensible.' Democrats, of course, take a different view, and say the administration's actions have only risked triggering further violence. Retired officers who study how the armed forces have been used in democracies told us they share those concerns. They point to the damage that Trump's orders could do to the military's relationship with the citizens it serves. 'We should be very careful, cautious, and even reluctant to use the military inside our country,' Bradley Bowman, a former Army officer who heads the defense program at the Foundation for Defense of Democracy, told us. Conor Friedersdorf: Averting a worst-case scenario in Los Angeles State and local authorities typically use law-enforcement personnel as a first response to civil disturbances or riots, followed by National Guard forces if needed. Retired Major General Randy Manner, who served as acting vice chief of the National Guard Bureau during the Obama administration, said the federalizing of California Guard forces—putting them under presidential rather than state control, a move allowed with certain limits—pulls those service members away from their civilian jobs and makes it harder to complete planned training or exercises. 'Basically, the risk does not justify the investment of these forces, and it will negatively impact on readiness,' Manner told us. Retired officers we spoke with also drew a distinction between the involvement of National Guard and active-duty forces. Whereas National Guard troops assist citizens after natural disasters and have the advantage of knowing the communities they serve, active-duty forces are primarily trained to 'see the enemy and neutralize the enemy,' said Mark Cancian, a retired Marine colonel now at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. 'When you're dealing with U.S. citizens, no matter what they're doing, that's not the right mindset.' 'This is not Fallujah,' Bowman added. 'This is Los Angeles.' Juliette Kayyem: Trump's gross misuse of the National Guard This morning, Hegseth made his first congressional appearance since his bruising confirmation process, appearing before a House committee. His tone with Democrats was at times combative. When Representative Betty McCollum, a Minnesota Democrat, asked the defense secretary what the cost of the California deployment would be, he declined to provide a figure and instead pivoted to criticism of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz for the state's response to the violence that followed Floyd's killing in 2020. (Military officials said later they expected the Los Angeles deployment, as envisioned, to cost roughly $134 million.) 'If you've got millions of illegals, you don't know where they're coming from, they're waving flags from foreign countries and assaulting police officers, that's a problem,' Hegseth told lawmakers. Trump, for his part, told reporters that anyone who tries to protest at the Saturday parade celebrating the 250th birthday of the U.S. Army will 'be met with very big force.' He also said that he wouldn't hesitate to invoke the Insurrection Act, which would permit him to employ the military for law enforcement or to suppress a rebellion, if he believed that circumstances required. Speaking to troops at Fort Bragg in North Carolina later in the day, the president promised to stop the 'anarchy' in California. 'We will liberate Los Angeles and make it free, clean, and safe again,' he said. 'We will not allow an American city to be invaded and conquered by a foreign enemy.' Some Republicans have privately expressed worry that Trump may overplay a winning hand. Even in the West Wing, two people we spoke with tried to downplay the incendiary rhetoric from Trump and Hegseth. They stressed that, to this point, National Guard forces have been in a defensive posture, protecting federal buildings. Although they believe that Trump has the political advantage at the moment, they acknowledged there would be real risks if U.S. troops got involved in violence. 'We don't know who would get blamed but no one wins if that happens,' one senior aide told us. 'No one wants to see that.' Hegseth's support for using active-duty troops in Los Angeles stands in contrast to what his predecessor did in 2020. At that time, Defense Secretary Mark Esper, along with Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Mark Milley, scrambled to block Trump's desire to employ active-duty forces against the demonstrators protesting racial violence. The president had mused about shooting protesters in the legs, Esper wrote later. To satisfy his boss while also avoiding a dangerous confrontation, the defense chief called active-duty forces from Fort Bragg to Northern Virginia but sought to keep them out of the fray. Tom Nichols: Trump is using the National Guard as bait In his 2024 book The War on Warriors, Hegseth described how his experience as a D.C. Guardsman in 2020 crystallized his views about the divide between military personnel and what he saw as the degenerate protesters who were lobbing bricks and bottles of urine at the citizen soldiers. When the D.C. Guard was again summoned seven months later, to help secure the 2021 inauguration following the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, Hegseth was told to stand down because fellow Guardsmen suspected that one of his tattoos was a sign of extremism. (Hegseth has maintained it is part of his Christian faith.) Hegseth was angered by his exclusion and resigned from the Guard. That experience remains with him as he attempts to reshape the military, and its role in society, in line with Trump's worldview. As he has written: 'My trust for this Army is irrevocably broken.'
