DRAFTKINGS INC-CL A

DraftKings

DraftKings got its start in 2012 as an innovator in daily fantasy sports. Then, following a Supreme Court ruling in 2018 that allowed states to legalize online sports wagering, the company expanded into online sports and casino gambling, where it generally holds the number two or three revenue share position across states in which it competes. DraftKings is now live with online or retail sports betting in 28 states and iGaming in five states, with both products available to around 40% of Canada's population. In 2024, sports revenue was 61% of total sales, i-gaming 32%, and fantasy and lottery 7%. The company also operates a non-fungible token commissioned-based marketplace and develops and licenses online gaming products.

After a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/06/45812372/us-labor-markets-defies-tariff-concerns-as-nonfarm-payrolls-wages-top-expectations-in-may">steady May jobs report</a> that was released Friday, economists are at a crossroads about their view on the monetary policy. While some believe that the Federal Reserve should hold onto its &#8220;wait and see&#8221; stance, others affirm that the central bank can start cutting interest rates.
What Happened: While most economists were in consensus that the Federal Reserve should wait for the tariff implications to play out before cutting interest rates. Jamie Cox, the managing partner at Harris Financial Group, believed that the Fed should start cutting interest rates as soon as July.
&#8220;The labor market is strong, but cooling. I expect this report, with all its revisions, to bring the Fed back into cutting mode in July,&#8221; he said.
According to the data shared by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/06/45812372/us-labor-markets-defies-tariff-concerns-as-nonfarm-payrolls-wages-top-expectations-in-may">nonfarm payrolls</a> rose by 139,000 in May, beating consensus expectations of 130,000. However, it was lower than its average monthly gain of 149,000 over the last 12 months.
However, Chris Zaccarelli, the CIO at Northlight Asset Management said, &#8220;The Fed should be reluctant to cut rates because the full effects of tariffs haven't impacted inflation numbers yet and the job market isn't deteriorating enough to force their hand, which is why we don't expect them to cut rates until the end of this year, if at all.&#8221;
And Jeffrey Roach, the chief economist at LPL Financial, said, &#8220;If payroll growth trudges on like this, the Fed will likely remain in &#8216;wait and see&#8217; mode.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Apart from nonfarm payrolls, the average hourly earnings rose 0.4% from a month ago and 3.9% from last year. Thus, the wages rose faster than inflation, giving workers some relief from inflation pressure.
The unemployment rate was unchanged at 4.2% and has been rangebound for the past year. The employed population stood at 59.7%, a decline from last month and still below the Jan 2020 level.
On Friday, senior economist Mohamed El-Erian said in an X post that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/06/45818251/trump-cheers-strong-jobs-data-renews-attack-on-feds-powell-rates-should-be-much-lower">central bank should wait</a> to cut the rates, given that &#8220;both May job creation and wage growth were higher than consensus forecasts.&#8221;

However, the odds of a cut increased over 60% for the September, October, and December meetings.

As Trump Flames Powell For Holding Back On Rate Cuts, Economists Divided On Fed's Approach

Qualcomm Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>) announced on Monday that it has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/b45831588/qualcomm-to-acquire-alphawave-semi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">agreed to acquire</a> semiconductor company Alphawave IP Group Plc for approximately $2.4 billion in cash.
The purchase price implies <a target="_blank" href="https://www.londonstockexchange.com/news-article/market-news/recommended-acquisition/17075345" rel="noreferrer noopener">183 pence per share</a> for Alphawave, implying close to a 96% premium to the price immediately before Qualcomm disclosed its interest in the company.
The acquisition of Alphawave Semi aims to further accelerate, and provide key assets for, Qualcomm&#8217;s expansion into data centers. Qualcomm Oryon CPU and Hexagon NPU processors are well positioned to meet the growing demand for high-performance, low-power computing, which is being driven by a rapid increase in AI inferencing and the transition to custom CPUs in data centers, the company said in a press release.

The deal, subject to regulatory and shareholder approval, will likely close in the first quarter of 2026. Qualcomm held $13.85 billion in cash and equivalents as of <a href="https://investor.qualcomm.com/overview/default.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">March 31, 2025</a>.
In May, JP Morgan&nbsp;analyst Samik Chatterjee&nbsp;said Alphawave has higher <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45624771/qualcomm-eyes-alphawave-to-power-ai-and-data-center-growth-analyst-sees-strategic-fit" rel="noreferrer noopener">strategic importance for</a> Qualcomm, which has recently more explicitly outlined its intent to pursue the data center market as another pillar of growth and diversification.
The analyst said Alphawave&#8217;s acquisition and capabilities regarding data center connectivity IP would complement its earlier acquisition of Nuvia and its capabilities for designing data center CPUs and AI inference chips based on custom ARM cores.
Chatterjee expects Alphawave&#8217;s breadth of capabilities to add to Qualcomm&#8217;s portfolio, positioning the company to benefit from tailwinds related to strong growth in Custom silicon and ASIC adoption within AI infrastructure and development in content about connectivity products within AI data centers.
He added that Alphawave&#8217;s immediate contribution to Qualcomm&#8217;s financial performance is unlikely material, but the company expects synergies from its entry into the broader data center TAM.
Price Action: QCOM stock is trading higher by 0.19% to $149.52 premarket at last check Monday.

Qualcomm Bets $2.4 Billion On Alphawave To Power AI Data Centers

Dog-themed cryptocurrency Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) may be encountering a corrective phase, but analysts were hopeful of significant upside in the ongoing cycle.
What Happened:&nbsp;Javon Marks, a widely followed chartist, shared their analysis of Dogecoin&#8217;s potential trajectory on Sunday. He stated, 
&#8220;Dogecoin, by its previous cycles,&nbsp;has a high likeliness to&nbsp;make a run to and&nbsp;above $2.28,&#8221; Marks projected. Should the prediction come true, it&#8217;d mean a whopping 12x upside from the current price.
The analyst said these&nbsp;levels act as the 1.618&nbsp;Fibonacci Level,&nbsp;which DOGE managed to hit and exceed in previous bull cycles,&nbsp;making the chances of it&nbsp;happening again this cycle a&nbsp;bit higher.
Fibonacci retracement is a technical analysis tool that uses ratios derived from the Fibonacci sequence to determine probable support and resistance levels. These are then used to predict reversals or continuations. The 1.618 level, often referred to as the "golden ratio," is particularly significant.<a href="https://twitter.com/ali_charts/status/1909673597784015173" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"></a>

Meanwhile, cryptocurrency trader Kamran Asghar noted DOGE&#8217;s &#8220;strong&#8221; structure within an ascending broadening wedge, setting a price target of as much as $3.8. 
The ascending broadening wedge is a bearish reversal pattern, as part of which price makes higher highs and higher lows before a downward breakout.

Is Dogecoin Price Set To Soar? Analyst Predicts Explosive Rally Ahead Amid Correction

Steep home prices and high mortgage rates are leading Gen Z to find innovative ways to become homeowners. One popular strategy seems to be co-purchasing homes with siblings.
What Happened: According to Bank of America's 2025 Homebuyer Insights Report, 22% of Gen Z homeowners reported purchasing their home with a sibling in 2025.
According to a Fortune <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/06/07/housing-market-trend-gen-z-homebuying-siblings-extra-jobs-family-loans/">report</a>, the figure is up from 12% in 2024 and 4% in 2023. At the same time, 30% of Gen Z buyers said they took on a second job to fund their down payment, compared to 28% the previous year and 24% the year before that.
Co-purchasing homes outside of romantic partnerships is on the rise. Almost 15% of Americans have done so, according to a 2024 JW Surety Bonds survey. Gen Z's main source of support is family. 21% of future Gen Z buyers plan to depend on family loans, compared to 15% of overall respondents.

Why It Matters: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/real-estate-forecast-for-the-next-10-years">Uncertainty in the housing market</a> has led <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/25/06/45712505/75-of-homebuyers-are-waiting-for-lower-rates-report-finds">60% of current homeowners and would-be buyers to be unsure</a> if it is the right time to purchase. This is up from 57% in 2024 and 48% in 2023.
Despite challenges, BofA's head of consumer lending, Matt Vernon, said Gen Z is not waiting to take action: "They are finding creative ways to afford down payments and working hard to improve their financial futures."
The desire to own a home is still strong: "Even with the challenges they face, younger generations still understand the long-term value owning a home offers them," Vernon added.
U.S. Census Bureau data shows the homeownership rate for those under 35 fell to 36.3% in late 2024 but rose to 36.5% in early 2025. Redfin now reports home prices falling in 11 of the 50 largest metro areas, stating that the "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/06/45814493/its-a-buyers-market-redfin-reports-there-are-34-more-sellers-in-the-market-than-buyers">balance of power</a> in the U.S. housing market has shifted toward buyers."
Even though Zillow is projecting a 1.9% decline in values by year's end, Gen Z is not waiting for perfect conditions.

WEX Teams Up With Sabre to Boost Secure Travel Payments With Virtual Card Tech

Deutsche Bank has indicated that the ongoing immigration crackdown and subsequent decline in numbers is causing a more severe negative supply shock to the economy than the tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump.
What Happened: Since Trump&#8217;s inauguration, monthly encounters at the Southwest border have dropped sharply to 12,000, compared to an average of 200,000 between January 2022 and June 2024, <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/06/08/immigration-collapse-economy-workforce-labor-supply-shock-trump-tariffs-ice-raid/">reported</a> Fortune. his represents a more significant negative supply shock than the impact of Trump&#8217;s tariffs, the bank stated.
George Saravelos, head of FX research at Deutsche Bank, said in a note on Friday, &#8220;While everyone is focused on the impact of tariffs, the real story for the U.S. economy is the collapse in immigration: down more than 90% compared to the run rate of previous years, equivalent to a slowing in labour force growth of more than 2 million people.&#8221;
Deutsche Bank cautions that declining immigration could have broader effects on financial markets, including added pressure on the dollar, which is already feeling the impact of Trump's aggressive tariff policies. 
The bank also notes that the immigration crackdown may give the Federal Reserve further reason to postpone interest rate cuts, since a slower-growing workforce reduces the need for increased hiring to accommodate extra labor supply.
 "If recent immigration trends continue, it must follow that over the course of the year the reverse will happen. As the 2022 energy shock showed, a negative supply shock is not good news for a currency." cautioned Saravelos.

Why It Matters: The analysts&#8217; warning comes in the light of Trump&#8217;s deployment of National Guard troops to California following two days of immigration raid protests, claiming the demonstrations obstructed federal law enforcement and suggesting they could be a "form of rebellion" against U.S. authority.
President Trump&#8217;s immigration policies have been a focal point of his administration. Earlier this month, he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/06/45786428/trump-shuts-the-door-on-permanent-immigration-and-most-visas-from-these-12-nations">barred </a>nearly all immigration and travel from 12 nations, citing poor vetting and terrorism threats. This move followed the introduction of a new 3.5% tax on remittance transfers from non-citizens, a measure that drew criticism for disproportionately affecting poor migrants.
These policies, along with plans for mass deportations, have drawn attention from economists and investors. They warn that these measures could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44067679/trumps-immigration-policy-could-be-the-key-to-inflation-and-market-shifts-investors-warn">significantly impact </a>the U.S. labor market, inflation, and even the Federal Reserve's decisions on interest rates. While tariffs have been a significant focus in financial discussions, the collapse in immigration could have an even more substantial effect on the economy.

A Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) 737 MAX 8 landed at the company&#8217;s Zhoushan completion center near Shanghai on Monday, signaling the resumption of deliveries to Chinese airlines after a month-long pause triggered by rising trade tensions.
What Happened: Flight tracking data from Flightradar24 showed the Xiamen Airlines-liveried aircraft departed Seattle on Saturday, refueling in Hawaii and Guam before arriving in China, according to a Reuters report.
The aircraft had previously been ferried to Zhoushan in March but returned to the U.S. in April when Chinese carriers stopped accepting new Boeing jets.
Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg confirmed in a CNBC interview that several Boeing 737 MAX jets awaiting delivery in China were flown back to the U.S. due to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44960098/boeing-ceo-says-china-stopped-taking-airplane-deliveries-as-trade-war-rages">escalating trade tensions</a>. The halt followed President Donald Trump's move to raise tariffs on Chinese goods to 145%, prompting China to impose 125% tariffs on U.S.-made products, including aircraft.
Deliveries resumed after a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45341884/apple-amazon-nvidia-rise-in-monday-premarket-as-us-china-agree-to-90-day-tariff-truce-neither-side-wants-a-decoupling">90-day tariff truce</a> was brokered in Geneva, reducing most mutual tariffs to 10%. However, the U.S. retained 20% tariffs on Chinese fentanyl-linked imports, keeping effective tariff levels at 30%.
In addition, Beijing lifted all non-tariff retaliatory measures imposed since April 2, including sanctions on select U.S. firms and restrictions on key mineral exports. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent called the negotiations "very productive," adding that "neither side wants a decoupling."
China analyst Jeremy Chan said President Xi Jinping &#8220;has bowed to reality,&#8221; recognizing that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/06/45828073/xi-has-bowed-to-reality-says-china-analyst-urges-more-engagement-between-leaders-to-resolve-trade-is">&#8220;there is no substitute for direct negotiations with Trump,&#8221;</a> following a recent phone call between the leaders.

Why It Matters: China accounts for about 10% of Boeing's commercial aircraft backlog and is expected to generate 20% of global airplane demand over the next two decades. Roughly 50 Boeing jets are slated for delivery to Chinese carriers this year, saving the company from the costly task of finding alternate buyers.
In Q1 2025, Boeing's Commercial Airplanes revenue surged 75% year-over-year to $8.16 billion.

IonQ Buys Oxford Ionics in $1.075B Deal to Supercharge Quantum Computing Push

Financial expert and bestselling author Ramit Sethi, known for his books and the Netflix show How to Get Rich, recently shared a difficult but important conversation he had with his wife, Cassandra, before they got married: about prenups.
What Happened: In an <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ramit-and-cassandra-open-up-our-real-money-fights/id1577864998?i=1000710994153">episode</a> of his Money for Couples podcast, he and Cassandra spoke candidly about the lead-up to a prenuptial agreement before their 2018 wedding.
"I'm sweating thinking about it right now," Sethi admitted. "The first time I brought it up, I remember I had talked to so many people, gotten advice, planned what I was gonna say and I was very nervous about it."
Cassandra was open to the idea, but their conversation quickly turned sour. "We started going back and forth and I was very confused, very hurt because I'm like, ‘I'm not trying to trick anybody here,'" Sethi recalled.
The friction stemmed from their differing views of money. While Sethi focused on the numbers and tried to draw up a "generous" agreement, Cassandra was considering the emotional weight of the situation.
To resolve their issues, the couple consulted a therapist. "That really opened up conversations that we hadn't been able to have because my answer was like, ‘growth, of course, look at the compounding.' And her answer was, ‘safety,'" Sethi said.

Why It Matters: Money managers and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/04/44785964/why-marriage-may-be-the-most-important-business-decision-you-make">legal experts often regard prenups as an essential aspect of marriage</a>. Suze Orman <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/11/why-suze-orman-says-you-should-always-get-a-prenup.html">highlighted this</a> in 2020: "If you cannot talk money to the person that you are about to marry, you are doomed for failure because money is going to run through your relationship more than anything else."
Dave Ramsey has also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/08/40261201/22-year-old-inherits-1-5-million-asks-the-ramsey-show-if-she-should-get-a-prenup-dave-recommends">advised many individuals</a> who call in to his show to sign prenuptial agreements, and recommended that couple <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/04/38360464/dave-ramsey-says-when-you-get-married-combine-all-money-preacher-didnt-say-and-now-youre-a-joint">join their finances</a> instead of splitting costs.
The Sethis eventually found common ground and regard the prenup conversation as a milestone in their relationship, setting the stage for a solid marriage in the years that followed.   
The number of Americans considering prenups is on the rise. According to a Harris poll conducted in 2022, the number of people who have signed a prenup has climbed to 15%, compared to just 3% in 2010.

S&P 500 Hits 6,000 Level Following Positive Jobs Data: Investor Sentiment Improves, Fear Index Remains In 'Greed' Zone

NASA and Pentagon officials have taken swift action to urge competitors of&nbsp;Elon Musk&#8216;s&nbsp;SpaceX,&nbsp;including&nbsp;Jeff Bezos&#8216;s&nbsp;Blue Origin, to expedite the development of alternative rockets and spacecraft following the public feud between President Donald Trump and Musk.
What Happened: The government officials were taken aback by Musk&#8217;s response to Trump&#8217;s threat. Musk, in turn, threatened to cease&nbsp;flying its Dragon spacecraft, a&nbsp;critical component of NASA&#8217;s astronaut transportation&nbsp;to the International Space Station.&nbsp;Although Musk later retracted this threat, it caused significant concern among NASA and Pentagon officials, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2025/06/07/trump-musk-spacex-nasa-national-security/">according</a> to a report by&nbsp;The Washington Post.
Following the public disagreement, government officials have approached commercial space companies, including Rocket Lab, Stoke Space and Jeff Bezos&#8217;s Blue Origin, to inquire about the readiness of their rockets for government missions.
During Trump's first term, he frequently criticized the Bezos-owned Washington Post. However, in March, Trump praised Bezos&#8217; move to make<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44371691/trump-praises-jeff-bezos-recent-moves-with-washington-post-hes-trying-to-do-a-real-job"> significant changes</a> with the Washington Post and said, &#8216;He&#8217;s trying to do a real job.&#8217;
SpaceX, a major recipient of government contracts, is responsible for transporting astronauts&nbsp;and cargo to the ISS,&nbsp;launching Pentagon satellites, and developing intelligence agency satellites. The growing tension between Musk and Trump intensified after the White House withdrew Musk-ally, Jared Isaacman&#8216;s nomination for NASA administrator.

Why It Matters:&nbsp;This recent development underscores the potential impact of political tensions on the space industry. It also highlights the increasing competition in the sector, with companies like Blue Origin making significant strides in their space exploration efforts. Just recently, Blue Origin <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/space/25/06/45788673/jeff-bezos-blue-origin-reveals-new-space-vehicle-for-lunar-and-martian-missions">unveiled </a>a new vehicle for lunar and Martian missions, further cementing its position as a key player in the industry.
Bezos&#8217; Blue Origin has been a key player in the space industry, competing directly with SpaceX. Bezos has also made moves in the satellite internet market, launching the first <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/04/45058299/elon-musks-starlink-empire-gets-new-challenger-in-shape-of-jeff-bezos-amazon-project-kuiper-deploys-first-operational-satellites">operational </a>satellites for his ambitious Project Kuiper, which directly challenges Musk&#8217;s Starlink. 
Meanwhile, Bezos has been making efforts to improve his relationship with Trump, a move that could potentially impact Amazon&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) sprawling business. The Amazon founder appears to be seeking a reset by visiting Mar-a-Lago, contributing $1 million to Trump's inauguration and reportedly signing a $40 million documentary deal with First Lady Melania Trump.
Benzinga's Edge Rankings place Amazon in the 70th percentile for quality and the 97th percentile for growth, reflecting its strong performance in both areas.

Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) stock plunged 14.09% over the last five days, possibly due to Elon Musk's departure from the White House and his ongoing feud with President Trump.

Why Jeff Bezos Might Emerge As The Biggest Winner In The Trump-Musk Feud

Billionaire investor and television personality Mark Cuban has been an avid cryptocurrency advocate over the years, with Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) receiving special attention in his social media posts and interviews.
What happened: Cuban has been a proponent of Bitcoin's safe haven narrative, even deeming it a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/42935597/mark-cuban-advocates-bitcoin-over-gold-during-economic-turmoil-i-think-it-has-more-value-than-gold">&#8220;better version of gold</a>.&#8221; He argued that, in addition to being as good as gold as a hedge against economic downturns, Bitcoin is &#8220;easier&#8221; to buy, trade and transfer globally. 
The "Shark's" conviction was tested during Bitcoin's April downturn. The apex cryptocurrency had<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44669943/why-is-bitcoin-down-today-trump-tariffs-spark-market-panic-as-btc-slides-below-75k"> plunged below $75,000</a> in early April, marking its lowest level in months. This drop was triggered by President Donald Trump's sweeping tariff measures, which reignited fears of a global recession and led to a sharp sell-off in risk assets.
Cuban, however, appeared unfazed. During an X conversation, he called <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44704749/mark-cuban-pitched-bitcoin-as-a-hedge-against-economic-turmoilno-surprises-the-shark-still-finds-btc-a-better-buy-amid-tariff-woes">Bitcoin &#8220;a better buy,&#8221;</a> potentially suggesting that firms may benefit from hoarding the asset.

Two months later, his statements sound like good investment advice.

Since Cuban called Bitcoin a better buy, the cryptocurrency has jumped 27% and nearly 40% from its April lows. So, if you invested $1000 in Bitcoin following Cuban's commentary, it would be worth $1270 today.

Bitcoin Is Up 27% Since Mark Cuban Called The Top Cryptocurrency A 'Better Buy' Amid Trump Tariff-Fueled Downturn

Cathie Wood, founder of ARK Invest, says history shows artificial intelligence will generate "many more jobs than it displaces," pushing back on fears that chatbots and humanoid robots will wipe out careers.
What Happened: Wood made the case in a weekend X thread after taping Steven Bartlett's "Diary of a CEO" <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZznpMh0DegE&amp;list=PL22egh3ok4cP0T7UZRmP6TMLErZYWMN-l">podcast</a>. Wood told Bartlett that baby-boomer retirements and smaller follow-on generations already constrain the labor pool, so companies will use AI to boost productivity rather than slash payrolls. 
"We'll see more people taking risks on themselves," she said, predicting the traditional corporation "will change radically."
After the interview, Wood asked OpenAI's ChatGPT and xAI's Grok 3 to list occupations that don't exist yet. &#8220;ChatGPT and Grok3 were full of job ideas, &#8221; she said. She urged followers to "test them yourselves" and include sci-fi, &#8220;ideas from futurists&#8221; in their prompts.

The post aligns with Wood's long-held thesis that innovation cycles ultimately expand employment. Last month, she argued <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45344120/cathie-wood-says-ai-innovation-in-healthcare-will-be-more-profound-than-autonomous-taxi-networks-humanoid-robots">AI advances in health care</a> could rival autonomous taxis in economic impact.
Why It Matters: Wood&#8217;s numerous Ark Invest funds have been loading up on chipmakers and software firms she says will power that boom.

Motorcar Parts of America, Casey's General Stores And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Monday

California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) has announced that the state will file a lawsuit against the Trump administration over the deployment of the National Guard to quell protests in Los Angeles.
What Happened:&nbsp;Newsom revealed the lawsuit during an interview with MSNBC on Sunday. The legal action is aimed at challenging the federalization&nbsp;of the California National Guard&nbsp;by the Trump administration without the state&#8217;s consent, a move that Newsom deems unprecedented in U.S. history,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/watch/gov-newsom-tells-president-trump-to-stand-down-amid-l-a-protests-241152581707">reported</a>&nbsp;MSNBC.
"And we're going to test that theory with a lawsuit tomorrow," Newsom stated. &#8220;They never coordinated with the governor of the state,"&nbsp;he added.
Newsom also responded to remarks by border czar Tom Homan, who implied he might arrest Newsom or Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass if they obstructed his actions. In reply, Newsom challenged him, saying, "Arrest me. Let's go."
Newsom also criticized Trump&#8217;s Truth Social post, where he praised the National Guard for a &#8220;great job&#8221; even though they weren&#8217;t deployed at the time.&nbsp;He described the post as &#8220;Orwellian, simply lying to people,&nbsp;unconstitutional, illegal act, his mess.&nbsp;We're trying to clean it&nbsp;up.&#8221;

Odds Rise On Polymarket, The Crypto Betting Market Now Partnered With X &#8211; Benzinga</a>
Why It Matters: The lawsuit comes after Newsom called the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45830221/gavin-newsom-calls-deployment-of-national-guard-in-los-angeles-unlawful-says-there-was-no-problem-until-trump-got-involved-serious-breach-of-state-sovereignty">deployment </a>of National Guard troops in Los Angeles &#8220;unlawful&#8221; and a &#8220;serious breach of state sovereignty&#8221; on Sunday. The deployment, which included around 300 National Guard members, was part of Trump's broader effort to crack down on immigration protests.
Meanwhile, the protests in Los Angeles turned violent, with protesters <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45830565/multiple-waymo-vehicles-set-on-fire-during-los-angeles-anti-ice-protests-elon-musk-says-this-is-not-ok">reportedly </a>vandalizing over five of Alphabet&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Waymo robotaxis during clashes with the police. 
The protests were against the Trump administration's crackdown on immigration into the U.S., with the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) carrying out high-profile raids and reportedly detaining several undocumented individuals.
