A Mexican farmworker who reportedly fell from a greenhouse while trying to hide during a Trump administration raid on a Southern California farm has died from his injuries, the United Farm Workers union announced Friday.

Federal authorities, including U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, agents, many clad in military-style gear, stormed farms in Santa Barbara and Ventura counties on Thursday to execute search warrants for undocumented people. At Glass House Farms in Camarillo—which grows state-legal cannabis as well as tomatoes and cucumbers—the invading agents were met with spirited resistance from hundreds of community members who rushed to the site in support of targeted workers. Federal officers responded by firing tear gas and less-lethal projectiles at crowds of protesters who were blocking area roadways in a bid to prevent arrests.

Former Trump administration communications official Alyssa Farah Griffin expressed her surprise on CNN at the rapidly unfolding chaos over the Justice Department's announcement that they have concluded their review of the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking case, and that there was no "client list" — which kicked off a revolt of MAGA loyalists, and reportedly has FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino considering resignation.

"This is the first time I can really remember that Trump is sidestepping his base and not doing what they're very vocally asking him to do," said Griffin, a frequent critic of her former boss. "And so as there's these calls now by some on the right for [Attorney General] Pam Bondi to step aside or to resign or be fired, the thing I would say is, if Donald Trump wants all of the information the government has on Jeffrey Epstein to be released, he can make that available. He can direct the attorney general to release it. He can move to whether it may be law enforcement sensitive, to declassify that and make it public. So the fact that he's not, I think, raises a lot of questions. And this is an issue this White House is not going to be able to make go away overnight."

MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace is calling it the "MAGA walk of shame," as major influencers in the "manosphere" are now having buyer's remorse for their big investment in President Donald Trump's second term in office.

Speaking Friday, Wallace called some of the ire among the podcast bros as being the "MAGA morning after."

Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) echoed a comment from Texas Gov. Greg Abbott at a news conference with President Donald Trump on Friday to address the catastrophic flooding in the Hill Country that killed over 100 people and left many more missing, attacking the media for daring to ask whether state officials have any responsibility for what happened.

"For all in the media clamoring to ask that ridiculous question trying to point fingers, the governor said it best when he said that pointing fingers is for losers," said Roy. "This state is about looking forward, and we'll figure out how to make our systems the best they can be. But more importantly, when you see 26 feet of water rising a foot per minute, don't go around pointing fingers."

A Texas reporter lashed out Friday at what he called “ghouls on the left” and the “left-wing media” during a news conference on the Texas flood disaster, singling out Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) in particular.

The conference was headed by President Donald Trump, Gov. Gregg Abbott (R-TX), and a number of other federal and Texas officials and first responders. Phil McGraw, better known as Dr. Phil, also participated in the presser.

A Texas CBS News reporter asked President Donald Trump about recent revelations that FEMA documents showed emergency alerts about devastating floods were not sent to cell phones as previously indicated.

While the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration sent out alerts that would have triggered those with weather radios, key cell phone alerts did not go out until it was too late.

International affairs specialist and retired Naval War College professor Tom Nichols is astounded by reports that the FBI was demanding polygraphs for agents to prove their loyalty.

Speaking to host Katy Tur on Friday, Nichols and ex-FBI agent Jim Davidson, who leads the FBI Integrity Project, said that the ordeal must be leaving agents confused.

Russell Vought, President Donald Trump’s Director of the Office of Management and Budget, is defending plans to spend an estimated $1 billion retrofitting an aging luxury 747 jetliner for use as Air Force One—even though it will be in service for only about a year—while also backing deep cuts to discretionary programs, including at the CDC, and in public health, education, housing, and science.

Vought, a self-avowed Christian nationalist, is the architect of The Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 and the founder of the religious right group Center for Renewing America. He has been described as President Trump’s “holy warrior” who “wants to crush the ‘deep state.'”

Ousted former Rep. George Santos (R-NY) stunned media personality Tucker Carlson in an interview published Friday, voicing fears that he wouldn’t last long during his impending prison sentence on identity theft and wire fraud charges.

“I don’t know that I survive it,” Santos said after being asked by Carlson his thoughts on his impending 87-month sentence, set to begin no later than July 25.
