WATCH: First look at damage in massive explosion near Palm Springs Hospital, California.

At least one killed & five people were injured in an explosion outside of a fertility clinic in Palm Springs on Saturday morning, according to law enforcement sources and the facility.

I have been briefed on the explosion at a fertility clinic in Palm Springs, California that took place today. Federal agents are on the ground now responding alongside local law enforcement.

We are working to learn more, but let me be clear: the Trump administration understands that women and mothers are the heartbeat of America. Violence against a fertility clinic is unforgivable.

REALITY CHECK: Nationwide injunctions are part of a coordinated political effort to block President Trump’s America First agenda.

This isn’t the judicial system the framers gave us.

It’s weaponized lawfare against the President and the 75 million Americans who voted for him.

Officer Dewan of the Broken Arrow Police Department stepped up this week to help a stranded driver change a flat tire. No headlines, just heart.

This is what community policing looks like—meeting people where they are and showing up when it counts.

To Officer Dewan and all those who serve with compassion, thank you for the work you do every day.

“I mean, it just continues this constant drumbeat—this war on cops. And what this ceremony does for all of us police officers is like, how do we honor their memories? You know how we do it. We do it by showing up every single day, still putting the uniform on despite the dangers, serving our communities—because that's who we are as a profession.”

This week, we didn’t just remember the fallen—we reminded the world who we are.

Thank you to everyone for bringing their sunshine! ☀️
