Cerna was driving with his partner and their two children in Los Angeles on June 11, 2025, when two vehicles slammed into his car, and a group of armed men ran towards them.

NYT's Maggie Haberman warns Trump handing Dems powerful ammo without even realizing it

President Donald Trump's decision to double down on his claim that he doesn't pay attention to Americans' finances is an indication of how clueless and insulated he is from public opinion, The New York Times' Maggie Haberman told CNN's Kaitlan Collins on Friday's edition of "The Source" — and how unaware he is that he is handing Democrats powerful ammunition to beat him.
