What the hell is going on in the US Senate? Hours after Donald Trump wins the most conclusive mandate in 40 years, Mitch McConnell engineers a coup against his agenda by calling early leadership elections in the senate. Two of the three candidates hate Trump and what he ran on. One of them, John Cornyn, is an angry liberal whose politics are indistinguishable from Liz Cheney’s. The election is Wednesday, it’s by secret ballot, and it will determine whether or not the new administration succeeds. Rick Scott of Florida is the only candidate who agrees with Donald Trump. Call your senator and demand a public endorsement of Rick Scott. Don’t let McConnell get away with it again.

Explorers from STARs Explorer Class #111 participated in their Colors Run, honoring Deputy Alejandro Martinez.

In November 2022, Deputy Martinez participated in a training run while attending the LASD Academy. Tragically, Class #464 was struck by a vehicle, gravely injuring Deputy Martinez. On July 28, 2023, Deputy Martinez succumbed to his injuries.
