Fox News Politics Newsletter: Maxine Waters' History of Fanning Flames
Welcome to the Fox News Politics newsletter, with the latest updates on the Trump administration, Capitol Hill and more Fox News politics content. Here's what's happening… Eighteen-term Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters resurfaced in the news after several run-ins with federal authorities during the ongoing illegal immigration riots in California, just as her House tenure began amid prior Angeleno unrest. In 1992, as she was finishing her first term in Congress, the not-guilty verdict against White LAPD officers seen beating a Black motorist named Rodney King sparked a similar conflagration in Los Angeles, and Waters was in the midst of it then as well. The riots greatly affected her South Los Angeles district, and Waters was quoted at the time as appearing to downplay the violence not as a "riot" but as "just a bunch of crazy people who went out and did bad things for no reason."…READ MORE RIFT HITS RATINGS: Musk's favorability among Republicans drops 16 points after Trump feud SUPPORT SLIPS AWAY: Public opinion turns against Trump-backed tax and spending bill, new survey finds 'NEXT-GENERATION': Trump's 'next-generation' missile defense plan gains momentum as US faces foreign threats WIN FOR TRUMP: Appeals court grants Trump short-term win over Boasberg in immigration ruling 'ABSOLUTE EVIL': Hamas attack on aid workers leaves eight dead as org fears some were 'taken hostage' WINS BIG: Israel's Netanyahu holds on to power, attempt to dissolve government falls short RED ALERT: Taiwan ramps up Coast Guard and military readiness in face of Beijing's 'gray zone' warfare SPENDING SHOWDOWN: GOP lawmakers prepare to slash $9.1 billion from USAID, NPR and PBS in rare vote POWER OF THE PURSE: Fate of Trump's $9.4 billion spending cut package hangs on House GOP moderates TRUMP TEAM TARGETED: Democrat congresswoman draws boos over 'shameful' sexism remark in committee hearing with Treasury Secretary TAX BOMB TICKING: Pence group warns Senate not to rubber-stamp Trump's 'big, beautiful bill' 'WIN THE ARGUMENT': Fetterman issues 'DO' and 'DO NOT' list, doubling down on anti-violence message after calling out LA 'anarchy' TRIMMING THE FAT: Republican senators roll out DOGE budget proposals for Trump's 'big, beautiful bill' TRACK RECORD LOOMS: Mayor Karen Bass' handling of LA riots adds to decades of political baggage 'GET THE HELL OUT': California Dem tells Hegseth he's an 'embarrassment' to the US, should 'get the hell out' of the DOD LAW ENFORCED: National Guard authorized to detain ICE attackers, DHS says Get the latest updates on the Trump administration and Congress, exclusive interviews and more on

‘Lying dog': Jon Voight unleashes on Gavin Newsom for blaming LA riots on Trump
Hollywood star Jon Voight has slammed California Governor Gavin Newsom for blaming President Trump over the LA riots, calling him a "fool" and a "lying dog" desperate for the presidency. In a nearly two-minute video posted to X on Tuesday, the 86-year-old called Newsom a 'disgrace,' slamming his leftist policies as a failure for California. 'This is not about Trump; this is about protecting the people from these animals and criminals," he said. 'All you do is cause chaos for the people. You're a disgrace.' He went on to frame the unrest as a battle of 'good vs evil,' praising Trump as the 'greatest president since Lincoln". 'God is my witness, truth will prevail because of your faults and incompetence for California's failures," he said. 'We the People stand with Donald Trump to save America.'
