Social media exposes CA Dems with receipts on illegals after they attack Trump for cost of riot response

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass have lambasted President Trump for the financial cost of sending troops to quell anti-ICE riots in their jurisdiction, which came with a price tag dramatically less than the bill taxpayers foot to pay for illegal immigrants in the state.
«Just an absolutely shameful use of taxpayer dollars that could be used to actually HELP people,» Bass recently posted on X. «Despicable.»
«$134 million that should be going to LA’s fire recovery,» Newsom posted on X. «Shameful.»
Many on social media responded to the posts from Newsom and Bass and commented on how illegal immigrants cost taxpayers billions of dollars in California, including White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller.

«Wait till you find out how many trillions we have to spend on illegal aliens,» Miller posted on X in response to Newsom.
«Now do the $9 billion you drained out of our state treasury to fund your free healthcare for illegals immigrants scheme,» campaign strategist Andrew Clark posted on X.
«How many billions have you spent on illegals Gavin? It’s well into the hundreds of billions,»Conservative activist and filmmaker Robby Starbuck posted on X. «THAT money should have gone to your citizens and fire recovery but you gave it to illegals.
Recent studies reviewed by Fox News Digital show that California spends at least tens of billions on illegal immigrants each year, far more than the $134 million cost of sending in federal troops to respond to rioting.
A Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) cost analysis, promoted by the House Budget Committee in a 2023 press release, found that «benefits and services provided to illegal aliens in California alone in 2022» amounted to more than $22 billion.
In a more recent cost analysis, FAIR calculated that services for illegal immigrants cost California taxpayers $31 billion per year.
A 2019 study from FAIR found that incarceration costs of illegal immigrants going through the court process and being housed in jail cost California over $2 billion per year.
Earlier this year, Newsom asked for an additional $2.8 billion loan to address a bloated deficit in the state’s Medicaid program, which has surpassed budget expectations largely due to coverage for illegal immigrants.

Last year, California expanded Medi-Cal to cover all low-income adults ages 26 through 49, regardless of immigration status, making it the first state to do so. Roughly 1.6 million illegal immigrants are enrolled in the state’s healthcare program, according to state data, and 15 million California residents are enrolled.
In addition to the amount of taxpayer dollars spent on individuals illegally in the country, a recent study by Wallethub found that California ranks nearly last in the country when it comes to return on investment for taxpayers.
Wallethub examined state and local tax collections and then compared that with the quality of services received in education, health, safety, the economy, and infrastructure and pollution. The Golden State ranks 47th in taxpayer efficiency in the United States.
In a statement to Fox News Digital, Assistant DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin fired back at California Democrats and pointed to the cost the rioters could inflict, already estimated in the millions as of Thursday, on the taxpayers in terms of property damage if not quickly quelled by federal troops.
«Governor Newsom and Mayor Bass are conveniently ignoring the high price of mass looting, rioters destroying LA’s family businesses, public property, and setting cars and other property on fire,» McLaughlin said.

«President Trump will not stand by while these lawless rioters loot and destroy a great American city. Newsom and Bass should be thanking President Trump for providing additional support to restore law and order and stop the destruction of LA.»
In a statement to Fox News Digital, Newsom Communications Director Izzy Gardon said there is an «irrefutable return on investment when Californians have access to education and healthcare.»
«There’s zero return for taxpayers when Trump blows $140 million of YOUR dollars to pull troops off the border and away from wildfire prep just so they can sit idle in L.A. while he cosplays as a dictator and chases Fox News headlines. This isn’t public safety — it’s a political stunt and a disgrace.»
Bass’s office directed Fox News Digital to a comment the mayor made on MSNBC.
«We are a city of immigrants,» Bass said. «We have entire industries that wouldn’t even be able to function without immigrant labor. So this is terrible to families, but it also is a very powerful blow to the local economy if this is going to continue.»

Late Thursday, a federal judge issued a temporary restraining order Thursday directing President Donald Trump to return control of the National Guard to California.
The order, which takes effect at noon Friday, said the deployment of the Guard was illegal and both violated the Tenth Amendment and exceeded Trump’s statutory authority.
The Trump administration appealed that decision and hours later the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals temporarily blocked the federal judge’s order.
The court said it would hold a hearing on the matter on June 17.

Tourist caught-on-camera smashing crystal-studded ‘Van Gogh’ chair at art museum

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A tourist was caught-on-camera crushing a Swarovski crystal-encrusted chair inside a museum in Italy – then taking off.
The Palazzo Maffei in Verona took to social media to expose the tourist’s actions as he was caught sitting on the chair, causing it to collapse and fall to the ground.
«The nightmare of every museum has become a reality, even at Palazzo Maffei,» the museum wrote in a post on their Facebook page, with the surveillance video attached.
«What you just saw would be ridiculous if it hadn’t, unfortunately, actually happened,» a museum employee says during the video.

The museum pointed out that the tourists conveniently waited for security to leave before making their move and capturing the photo.
The chair was described as being «extremely fragile.»
«An irresponsible gesture caused serious damage to Nicola Bolla’s ‘Van Gogh’ chair, a very delicate work, entirely covered in hundreds of Swarovski crystals,» the museum said.

«We share this episode not only for the record, but to start a real awareness campaign on the value of art and the respect it is due.»
It’s unclear how much it cost to fix the art display. It is also unclear if the culprits were ever identified or if they would face any consequences.

Las potencias nucleares modernizan su arsenal y le abren la puerta a una nueva carrera armamentista atómica

En medio de las guerras en curso entre Israel e Irán, Gaza y Ucrania, los principales países dotados de armas nucleares, en especial Estados Unidos y Rusia, modernizaron sus arsenales el año pasado y abrieron la vía a una nueva carrera armamentística atómica.
La advertencia fue hecha por el Instituto Internacional de Investigación para la Paz de Estocolmo (SIPRI).

Las potencias nucleares, lideradas por Washington y Moscú, que representan alrededor del 90% de las reservas mundiales, emprendieron “la modernización de las armas existentes y agregan nuevas versiones” a su arsenal atómico, reveló el organismo en un comunicado.
Del inventario total estimado en enero pasado de 12.241 ojivas, unas 9614 se encontraban en arsenales militares para uso potencial; 3912 de ellas están desplegadas con misiles y aviones; y unas 2100, en estado de alerta máxima en misiles balísticos.
“El número de ojivas nucleares comienza a aumentar”
Desde el fin de la guerra fría, las antiguas ojivas por lo regular fueron desmanteladas más rápido que el despliegue de las nuevas. Esto llevó a una disminución de su número total en el mundo.
Pero esta tendencia puede invertirse en los próximos años.

“Lo que constatamos hoy de antemano es que el número de ojivas nucleares operativas comienza a aumentar”, declaró Dan Smith, director del SIPRI.
China suma 100 nuevas ojivas cada año
Ese es el caso de China que, según los cálculos del instituto, posee unas 600 ojivas nucleares, tras agregar 100 nuevas cada año en 2023 y 2024.
“China aumenta con regularidad su fuerza nuclear”, dijo Smith. Es “posible que alcance 1000 ojivas de aquí a siete u ocho años”, agregó.

A su vez, Rusia y Estados Unidos disponen de “vastos programas de modernización y reemplazo de sus ojivas nucleares”, indicó el informe.
El SIPRI recordó que el Tratado de Reducción de Armas Estratégicas (START III) expira en febrero de 2026. Además, alertó que, si no se alcanza un nuevo acuerdo bilateral, es probable un aumento del número de ojivas desplegadas.
Qué sucede en Europa
Reino Unido no habría aumentado su número de ojivas en 2024.
Sin embargo, prosiguió el reporte, dada la decisión tomada por Londres en 2021 de aumentar el límite del número de ojivas de 225 a 260, es probable que ese número aumente en el futuro.
Aunque el arsenal de Francia permanece estable en unas 290 ojivas, “su programa de modernización nuclear avanzó en 2024”.
Asia: el caso de India y Pakistán
En tanto, India y Pakistán, dos enemigos históricos, “siguieron desarrollando nuevos tipos de vectores de armas nucleares en 2024”.
A inicios de 2025, India disponía de una “reserva creciente” de unas 180 armas nucleares, mientras el arsenal pakistaní sigue estable en unas 170 ojivas.
El programa de armas nucleares de Corea del Norte está en “el corazón de su estrategia de seguridad nacional”, según el informe, que calcula en unas 50 ojivas su arsenal, que puede llegar a un total “de 90 ojivas” en un futuro.
Israel, un país nuclear no reconocido
Israel, que no reconoce la posesión de armas nucleares y enfrenta varios frentes de guerra con Irán y en Gaza en primer plano, también estaría modernizando su arsenal.
Según el SIPRI, su poderío atómico se estimaba en unas 90 ojivas a comienzos del año.

La carrera armamentística nuclear que se avecina no sólo concierne “el número de ojivas”, advirtió Smith.
“Será altamente tecnológica” y tendrá lugar tanto “en el espacio como en el ciberespacio”, ya que los programas para controlar y guiar las armas nucleares serán también un sector competitivo, añade el experto.

El rápido desarrollo de la inteligencia artificial jugará probablemente un papel, primero como complemento de los humanos.
“La siguiente etapa sería pasar a la automatización total. Ese es un paso que nunca se debe dar”, afirmó Smith.
