As protests against ICE raids continue in Los Angeles, President Donald Trump is flexing his power in a way the nation hasn’t seen in decades, deploying 4,000 National Guard troops and roughly 700 Marines in the city. California Gov. Gavin Newsom calls the moves a provocation, labeled Trump an “authoritarian” and called the mobilization of the Marines a “red line.” But sources close to the White House view this as a strategic messaging opportunity — one they believe will play to their political advantage. Where do things go from here, and what happens next? Chief Playbook correspondent Dasha Burns and author Jack Blanchard talk it through. Plus, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. ousts the entire CDC committee that oversees the safety and use of vaccines.
