"Exclusive − Trump doesn't want long-term occupation of American cities, Vance says"

Translation:

"Whoops, this has been a complete clusterfuck. We thought Americans in LA and DC would roll over and die. After all, that's what we would do! How were we to know? 😭 Now the sandwich guy is a national hero and we look dumber than ever."

The Creature doesn't need no car 🚲​

Photo of the Creature Mastodon stuffed toy sitting on a large pile of luggage strapped to the rear rack of a cargo e-bike at a harbor loading dock during one bright afternoon. The Creature is in its purple tote on top of two full black military-style duffle bags, which rest on a pair of blue suitcases ratchet-strapped together and positioned sideways on either side of the bike's running boards. The front of the cargo bike is positioned 10 o'clock to the camera, with the red rear light shining toward 4 o'clock. All around the Creature in the surrounding parking lot are parked cars, and in the distance, palm trees and shipping containers are visible.

Photo of Lety and the Creature Mastodon stuffed toy standing in front of a mastodon museum exhibit under warm, indoor lighting. From top to bottom, Lety is shown wearing a short, white, long-sleeve dress with red floral print and brown sandals. Her body is roughly facing the camera, the Creature in her arms, as she turns her and the Creature back towards her left to look up at the massive fossilized skeleton of an American mastodon. On the floor between Lety and the skeleton is an exhibit sign reading “American mastodon”, “(Mammut americanum)”, “2 million to 10,000 years ago”, with a map showing the species' historical range across North America and some other out-of-focus text. In the background are several other museum visitors viewing smaller fossil displays in glass cases along a back wall.

Little Tokyo (where Newsom's press conf is) is, of course, historically and symbolically significant because of the history of Japanese-American immigrants being rounded up and incarcerated in an earlier (but not past) era.
