Sabrina Carpenter condemns White House’s ‘evil and disgusting’ use of her song — it responds with ridicule
The White House fired back at singer Sabrina Carpenter after she strongly objected to the use of one of her songs in a social media post from the Trump administration.
The video shows people getting arrested by law enforcement officials while Carpenter’s popular song “Juno” plays in the background. Carpenter responded from her own social media account.
‘We won’t apologize for deporting dangerous criminal illegal murderers, rapists, and pedophiles from our country.’
“Have you ever tried this one? Bye-bye,” reads the White House post from Monday.
She replied, “This video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda.”
White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson responded on Tuesday with a statement again referencing Carpenter’s music.
“Here’s a Short n’ Sweet message for Sabrina Carpenter: we won’t apologize for deporting dangerous criminal illegal murderers, rapists, and pedophiles from our country,” she wrote. “Anyone who would defend these sick monsters must be stupid, or is it slow?”
Carpenter’s objection might have backfired on her, since it brought more attention to the White House video. It has garnered more than 3.3 million views.

Other musicians have decried the use of their songs by the Trump administration, including Beyoncé, Abba, the Foo Fighters, and Kenny Loggins.
Carpenter made headlines in 2023 when she filmed a music video at the the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Catholic church in Brooklyn, New York, which included “profane decorations” on the altar.

GOP feud breaks out after Elise Stefanik accuses Speaker Johnson of protecting the deep state
A rhetorical battle has broken out between the Republican speaker of the House and a Republican congresswoman who is running in the gubernatorial election in New York.
Rep. Elise Stefanik accused Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana of lying about the process to include a provision in this year’s defense policy bill.
‘This is an easy one. This bill is DOA unless this provision gets added in as it was passed out of committee.’
Stefanik’s proposal would require the Federal Bureau of Investigation to notify Congress when it opens an investigation into a candidate for federal office. She threatened to kill the National Defense Authorization Act if her demands aren’t met.
“My provision will strengthen this accountability and transparency to deter this illegal weaponization and it passed out of the House Intelligence Committee in this Congress and previous ones,” she wrote on social media Monday. “If Republicans can’t deliver accountability and legislative fixes to arguably the biggest illegal corruption and government weaponization issue of all time, then what are we even doing.”
She went on to accuse Republicans of siding with Democrats on the issue.
“It is a scandalous disgrace that Republicans are allowing themselves to be rolled by the Dems and deep state on this,” she added.
On Tuesday, she said she walked out on a briefing about the issue and again lambasted Johnson.
“This is an easy one. This bill is DOA unless this provision gets added in as it was passed out of committee,” she added.
Johnson reacted to Stefanik’s accusations during a briefing with reporters Tuesday.
“All of that is false. I don’t exactly know why Elise won’t just call me. I texted her yesterday,” he said.
“She’s upset one of her provisions is not being made, I think, in the NDAA,” Johnson added. “I explained to her on text message — as soon as I head this yesterday, I was campaigning in Tennessee — and I wrote her. I said, ‘What are you talking about? This hasn’t even made it to my level.'”
He went on to explain that the provision had to be agreed upon by other committees before it could be included in the bill, and it was not approved.
“I don’t know why she’s frustrated with me. I literally had nothing to do with it. But I’m happy to roll up my sleeves and help her,” he added.

Stefanik fired back on social media and accused Johnson of siding with Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland.
“Just more lies from the Speaker,” she wrote.
“It wasn’t on your radar? This is the ONLY provision in the bill to root out the deep state rot,” she continued in part. “You torpedoed this siding with Jamie Raskin. You said you would fix it, so fix it.”
Stefanik is running to replace incumbent Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul, but recent polling shows she has an uphill battle in the Empire State. While one poll from the Manhattan Institute shows Stefanik just slightly above the Democrat, other polls show Hochul with a double-digit lead.

Man flings Molotov cocktails at federal building while yelling ‘anti-ICE’ comments, feds say
A 54-year-old man was arrested for allegedly tossing Molotov cocktail-style explosives at officers standing guard outside of a federal building in downtown Los Angeles on Monday morning.
Law enforcement sources told the Los Angeles Times that Jose Jovel is expected to be charged with arson and explosive-related offenses by the U.S. attorney’s office.
‘[He] stated that he wanted to blow up the building and “spray down” all the officers while making more derogatory comments.’
Jovel was arrested at about 8 a.m. after the attack at the federal building at 300 N. Los Angeles St.
“The suspect was taken into custody and stated that he wanted to blow up the building and ‘spray down’ all the officers while making more derogatory comments about ICE officers,” read a U.S. Department of Homeland Security statement.
The alleged firebombs were not lit before the suspect threw them.
A hazmat team evaluated a liquid at the site and determined it to be safe. Los Angeles firefighters also responded to the scene.
The man is under investigation for an arson at about 4 a.m. at his residence on North Westmoreland Avenue.
Jovel is a U.S. citizen. DHS said that investigators found four knives and a Leatherman tool in Jovel’s possession.
No one was injured in the incident, according to Laura Eimiller, a spokesperson for the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The FBI is also investigating.

In June, the same federal building was the site of a large protest by hundreds of people who opposed mass deportation operations of the Trump administration.
The building was vandalized with spray paint at the time, and police reported that some of the protesters had turned violent and tossed large pieces of concrete.
