Curfew in Downtown L.A. postpones Bay Area rapper Ruby Ibarra's Tiny Desk Tour kickoff
Bay Area rapper Ruby Ibarra 's kickoff to NPR's Tiny Desk Contest On The Road tour has been postponed due to the curfew in downtown Los Angeles, the artist announced.
'My love & apologies to everyone who got tickets for tonight's show — for those who wanted to be in community and empower & heal collectively through music,' Ibarra wrote in a Facebook post. 'Because of the curfew that's been implemented in DTLA, NPR Music's Tiny Desk Contest On The Road show … has been rescheduled.'
The concert scheduled to take place at the Regent Theater on Wednesday, June 11, which was to mark the first stop of Ibarra's 10-city tour, will now take place on July 1.
She added that previously purchased tickets will be honored for the rescheduled show and that refunds will be available for those unable to attend.
The curfew followed the sixth consecutive day of protests across downtown L.A., where President Donald Trump has deployed National Guard troops to quell demonstrators who have gathered in response to his latest crackdown on immigrants.
Wednesday's demonstrations drew thousands to Pershing Square and City Hall, where police fired less-lethal munitions and flash-bang grenades at crowds.
Ibarra, a San Lorenzo native, recently won NPR's 2025 Tiny Desk Contest with a live performance of 'Bakunawa,' a genre-blending track inspired by Filipino mythology. Her winning entry earned her a performance at NPR's Washington, D.C., headquarters, along with the national tour.
The Petaluma stop of the tour, scheduled for Friday, June 13, at Lagunitas Brewing Company, remains unaffected.
'We can't wait to bring this night of incredible music to LA soon,' Ibarra wrote. 'In solidarity and love.'

Celeb chef Jordan Andino dishes on two new baking shows and his Manila restaurant
Jordan Andino has got a lot cooking. The Filipino-Canadian chef, restaurateur and television personality has been busy in the studio kitchen, serving as a judge on two new shows — 'Halloween Bakeshop' and 'Holiday Bakeshop' — that will premiere this fall on Canada's Flavour Network. At the same time, he's partnering with Filipino chef Francis Tolentino on Union, a buzzy new restaurant opening in Manila, Philippines, on Nov. 8. Meanwhile, Andino remains the culinary director of Continuum wellness club, an ultraluxe gym and health retreat in NYC's Greenwich Village. And he's always on daddy duty, doting on his adorable 2-year-old daughter Malou with his wife of nearly four years, Erin Andino. Advertisement 3 This fall, chef Jordan Andino will serve as a judge on two TV baking competition shows for Canada's Flavour Network and co-launch Union, a buzzy new restaurant in the Philippines. Courtesy of Jordan Andino Of all those jobs, the gourmand says fatherhood is the most important. 'I get emotional thinking about it,' he tells Alexa. 'To me, it means making sure that the person that you are rearing is the best contributor to the world — so someone who is thoughtful, caring, proactive, ambitious, driven, loving and considerate.' From a young age, his parents — Toronto chef and restaurateur Richard Andino and model and actress Joanna Garel — instilled in him an achievement mindset. And they were strict. 'My dad taught me the meaning of hard work and the meaning of a dollar,' says the tastemaker. 'The immigrant mentality is: Head down and work as hard as you can to do better for the next generation.' Advertisement 3 Chef Andino created the CH Burger for his popular former NYC restaurant, Carriage House. Courtesy of Jordan Andino The TV chef was born in Toronto, then moved to Manhattan Beach, Calif., with his mom when he was 9. He developed a love of surfing and skateboarding in the Golden State, and a passion for food while making pastries, pizza and hot apps in his father's kitchens every summer. After attending Cornell University's renowned Hotel School, he worked at top restaurants including The French Laundry, Spago and Jean-Georges. In 2015, he opened Flip Sigi, a fast-casual Filipino taqueria in Greenwich Village, later adding outposts in Chicago and Jersey City, NJ. In 2023, he unveiled Carriage House, a New American restaurant with global influences, on NYC's West 10th Street. Over the last year, he shuttered those locations to focus on TV and other projects. With his food world expertise, gift of gab, down-to-earth demeanor and dazzling smile, Andino is a natural on camera. He's hosted shows including Netflix's 'Cook at All Costs' and Cooking Channel's 'Late Nite Eats,' judged on series from 'Chopped' to 'Worst Cooks in America' and appeared on programs like 'Beat Bobby Flay,' 'Rachael Ray' and Selena Gomez's 'Selena + Chef.' He also runs a busy side business catering events for brands such as Versace and Oscar de la Renta and has worked as a personal chef for celebs, including Kyrie Irving and the Kardashians. 'They were actually some of the best clients I've ever cooked for because they're normal,' he says of the famous family. 'They eat a lot! I love them.' 3 Oxtail agnolotti for a Filipino-themed dinner with the James Beard Foundation. Courtesy of Jordan Andino Advertisement His latest screen effort: baking battles. Eight contestants will compete for a $25,000 prize on the two seasonal programs, which are hosted by Canadian actor Lauren Ash and co-judged with Kareem 'Mr. Bake' Queeman. 'The shows feature some of the best bakers I've ever seen,' observes Andino. 'They found people who have incredible attention to detail.' Andino says that he has evolved as a judge, giving more critical feedback on these programs than in the past. In other words, he strikes a balance between sweet and salty.

‘Killed off Elmo': Jeffries brings along stuffed friend for stunt on House floor
Elmo has a friend, indeed. Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., brought along a stuffed friend to help make a point on the House floor Thursday. Jeffries held up a stuffed Elmo doll while accusing Republicans of targeting beloved children's shows like "Sesame Street" in their push to slash federal spending."Today, we are on the floor of the House of Representatives debating legislation that targets Elmo. And Big Bird. And Daniel Tiger and 'Sesame Street,'" Jeffries said, waving the puppet as he railed against the GOP-led rescissions Sends $9.4 Billion Doge Cuts Proposal To Congress, Targeting Npr, Pbs The moment, widely circulated online, came during debate over the Republican-backed Proposed Rescissions of Budgetary Resources from President Trump, which would eliminate over $9 billion in unspent or low-priority federal funds. Among the targeted programs: $3 million in taxpayer support for an international version of Sesame Street in Iraq. Democrats objected to what they characterized as cultural and humanitarian vandalism disguised as fiscal responsibility. Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove, D-Calif., delivered one of the sharpest lines of the day: "While you all have killed off Elmo, I urge my colleagues to vote no on this trash and I yield back," Garcia said. Read On The Fox News App Republicans dismissed the theatrics and defended the package as a commonsense rollback of bloated, ideological spending. The bill also includes broader cuts to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which supports PBS and NPR, long-time targets of fiscal conservatives who argue the taxpayer shouldn't subsidize public Lisa McClain, R-Mich., rebutted, "I never realized Elmo was more important to my colleagues on the other side of the aisle than the American people." House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., pushed back forcefully: "The Minority Leader held up a Sesame Street character here on the floor as if Sesame Street's somehow going to go away," Scalise said. Sesame Street's Pride Month Post Sparks Backlash From Republican Lawmakers Amid Pbs Funding Threats "I was watching a commercial on TV yesterday where the Cookie Monster was actually doing an advertisement for Netflix because a private company is paying money to run Sesame Street. It's not going away. It's doing just fine. Very lucrative." Scalise argued the bill doesn't threaten Sesame Street's survival, only its taxpayer subsidy, and called out what he described as "far-left, radical views" being promoted through outlets like NPR and PBS."There is still going to be a plethora of options for the American people," he said. "But if they are paying their hard-earned dollars to get content, why should your tax dollars go to only one thing that the other side wants to promote?" He concluded bluntly: "They can still watch Sesame Street in Iraq. But let the Iraqi people pay for it — not the taxpayers of the United States of America's children." Even more eyebrow‑raising was the inclusion of taxpayer‑funded global health spending for procedures like the line items flagged by GOP lawmakers: $3 million to subsidize circumcisions, vasectomies and condoms in Zambia, alongside similar grants for transgender surgeries in Nepal. Republicans contended that pulling back these types of low-impact or ideological slush funds was a logical first step toward returning more than $9 billion to the U.S. Treasury. The bill passed the House Appropriations Committee earlier this week and Senate Democrats have signaled strong opposition. The bill passed the House in a 214–212 vote. Four Republicans, Reps. Mark Amodei, R-Nev.; Mike Turner, R-Ohio; Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Pa.; and Nicole Malliotakis, R-N.Y., broke ranks to vote against the bill.
