Vance said some Democrats “politely clapped” but looked to colleagues instead of standing, suggesting fear of being primaried by the party’s left. He called the behavior a “sad commentary” and the moment became a viral clip circulated by Trump allies. Democrats defended their conduct, saying applause isn’t a meaningful measure of policy agreement. (foxnews.com)
Federal agents executed court-authorized search warrants Wednesday at the home of Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent Alberto Carvalho and at LAUSD headquarters, and video shows FBI personnel entering the San Pedro house and district offices. Authorities say supporting affidavits are sealed and declined further comment; the U.S. attorney’s office confirmed the searches but gave no details. The actions come amid a civil lawsuit alleging LAUSD misused about $76.7 million in Proposition 28 arts funding; the district says it is cooperating and denies wrongdoing. The investigation’s target and potential charges remain unclear as the probe develops and detectives continue investigating. (latimes.com)
