One person tries to calmly tell her to 'let go of her hair,' which the woman responds to by grinning and denying doing — despite clearly holding a fistful of the other passenger's locks. Another passenger attempting to free the woman's hair adds, 'You can't do that. You need to let go right now.' While still holding tight onto the woman's hair, the drunk passenger can be heard telling someone snippily, 'I'm sorry, I didn't want to sit next to a f***ing fat lady.'

(Photo credit: X) A drunken passenger was arrested at New York's LaGuardia Airport after she caused a late-night disturbance on a Southwest Airlines flight, grabbing another woman's hair and refusing to calm down. Authorities identified the woman as 32-year-old New Yorker Leanna Perry, who faces aggravated assault charges following the incident that occurred around 1 am Tuesday, confirmed the Port Authority Police Department (PAPD).

Dodger Stadium anthem singer Nezza says she sang in Spanish against team's wishes
Article content NEW: Dodgers National Anthem singer sings in Spanish after being told not to, starts crying during a 'story time' while talking about how great of a person she is. 'Baby Nezza' said she decided to sing in Spanish because of the ICE raids. 'Everything I do is out of love. Like,… — Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg) June 15, 2025 'I didn't think I would be met with any sort of no, especially because we're in L.A. and with everything happening,' she said, breaking down in tears. 'But today out of all days, I just could not believe when she [the Dodgers employee] walked in and told me 'no.' But I just felt like I needed to do it para mi gente [for my people].' The Dodgers did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The Athletic reported Nezza was not punished or kicked out of the ballpark after her performance and is not expected to be banned from Dodger Stadium going forward. The team has generally been quiet about the recent raids and ensuing protests in the city. Last week, Manager Dave Roberts told reporters he hoped the team could be 'a positive distraction' for people. On Friday, he said, 'I know that when you're having to bring people in and deport people, all the unrest, it's certainly unsettling for everyone, but I haven't dug enough and can't speak intelligently on it.'

A Democratic legislator was assassinated; right-wing influencers coughed out disinformation
Getty Images Just hours after Minnesotans learned that Democratic House leader Melissa Hortman had been assassinated, right-wing influencer Collin Rugg, who has 1.8 million followers on X, posted a report that hinted that she'd been killed because of a recent vote on ending undocumented adults' ability to enroll in MinnesotaCare, a subsidized health insurance for the working poor. Mike Cernovich, another right-wing influencer who has 1.4 million followers on X, took Rugg's post and amped it up, but in the 'just asking questions' style of many conspiracy theories: 'Did Tim Walz have her executed to send a message?' They were deeply ignorant about the MinnesotaCare issue. Walz and Hortman — who was instrumental in passing legislation allowing undocumented people to sign up for MinnesotaCare as speaker of the House in 2023 — negotiated a compromise with Republicans in the Minnesota Legislature to end eligibility for adults, but keep it for children. They did so to win necessary Republican support in the 67-67 House to pass a state budget. Without it, state government would have shut down on July 1. Both Hortman and Walz signed the compromise agreement in mid-May. This week, Hortman spoke tearfully about how difficult the vote was for her, but she was bound to vote yes on the issue because of the prior agreement. Rugg and Cernovich's posts were shared widely and just the start of the disinformation. Once law enforcement sources began revealing a suspect, right-wing influencers ran with an insignificant detail: That Vance Luther Boelter was a 'Walz appointee.' Like many states, but even more so here, Minnesota is home to hundreds of nonpartisan and bipartisan boards and commissions, which are composed of thousands of people who typically win the appointment by simply volunteering. There are currently 342 open positions on Minnesota boards and commissions. Boelter was appointed to the Workforce Development Council by Walz's predecessor Gov. Mark Dayton and reappointed by Walz. It was the equivalent of calling a Sunday school volunteer an 'appointee of the bishop.' No matter, the Murdoch media machine, specifically the New York Post, had their headline: 'Former appointee of Tim Walz sought….' Cernovich had his greasy foil hot dog wrapper and began constructing a hat: 'The Vice President candidate for the Democrat party is directly connected to a domestic terrorist, that is confirmed, the only question is whether Tim Walz himself ordered the political hit against a rival who voted against Walz's plan to give free healthcare to illegals.' Walz had no such plan. He had signed an agreement to end eligibility for undocumented adults. Joey Mannarino, who has more than 600,000 followers on X, was more crass: 'Rumor has it she was preparing to switch parties. The Democrats are VIOLENT SCUM.' It was a ridiculous 'rumor.' One of the last photos of Hortman alive was an image of her at the Democratic-Farmer-Labor's big annual fundraising event, the Humphrey-Mondale dinner, which took place just hours before her assassination. No matter, Cernovich wanted his new friends in federal law enforcement to act: 'The FBI must take Tim Walz into custody immediately.' Finally, fresh off his humiliating defeat at the hands of President Donald Trump, world's richest man Elon Musk quote-tweeted someone again falsely alleging Hortman was killed by 'the left' and added: 'The far left is murderously violent.' The suspect's 'hit list,' according to an official who has seen the list, comprised Minnesotans who have been outspoken in favor of abortion rights. CNN reported that it also included several abortion clinics, which doesn't sound like the work of 'the left.' Right-wing influencers marred Hortman's death and smeared Walz on a pile of lies. In a different, saner world, they would be humiliated and slink away. But the smart money is that during the next moment of national crisis and mourning, they will again lie for profit.

LA rioters set police cruiser on fire by lighting objects and dropping them
Amid the Los Angeles riots, a shocking video appears to show rioters setting a police cruiser on fire. The protesters allegedly lit objects and dropped them on the vehicle from the overpass. The video, shared by X user Collin Rugg, is captioned, 'Los Angeles rioters have set a police cruiser on fire by lighting objects and dropping them from the overpass. California Highway Patrol is trapped in the underpass as rioters throw scooters and other projectiles at them.' Many X users commented on the above post, condemning the act. 'If you're throwing scooters off a bridge at officers, that's attempted murdér. No question,' one user wrote. 'What's Karen Bass doing about this other than nothing?' one user said, slamming the Los Angeles Mayor, while another wrote, 'This is exactly what happens when you let chaos run free, and it's always the hardworking people who suffer'. One said, 'Damn shame indeed. No accountability and they getting away with it.' 'This will not end except but that extreme measures will be introduced. It is escalating and very volatile,' one user wrote, while another said, 'Aiming at moving cars the pass under is a diabolical way of causing injury and damage. Did the cameras get a view of who did it?' 'Get choppers with snipers to take out the rioters. This is war,' wrote one user. Another says, 'OMG, this is pure chaos! When will people realize violence isn't the answer?!' Bass is under intense criticism for her response to the riots. Recently, she took to X to assure Angelenos that their right to 'peacefully protest' will be protected. 'We will always protect the constitutional right for Angelenos to peacefully protest,'Bass wrote. 'However, violence, destruction and vandalism will not be tolerated in our City and those responsible will be held fully accountable.'
