A political advertisement opposing Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt is drawing attention online as critics argue the messaging could ultimately benefit the former reality TV star instead of hurt his campaign.
The ad, which has circulated widely on X in recent days, attacks Spencer Pratt over homelessness, policing and public employee unions while urging voters to reject the Republican candidate.
“Republican Spencer Pratt is the last thing Los Angeles needs for mayor,” the speaker in the video says. “Pratt opposes using taxpayer money to build brand new houses for unhoused neighbors, saying it’s time for the homeless to get help or get out.
“Pratt thinks L.A. needs thousands more police officers rather than more social workers, and Republican Spencer Pratt thinks public employee unions should have less power, not more,” the ad continued. “LA is on the right track and needs to stay the course. Vote no on Republican Spencer Pratt.”

Los Angeles Ethics Commission filings show the ad was funded by an independent expenditure committee called “LA Unions Opposed to Spencer Pratt for Mayor 2026,” which is sponsored by the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor, AFL-CIO.
The group reported spending $221,000 on digital advertising opposing Spencer Pratt in a Form 496 filing.
The tone and framing of the ad quickly sparked reaction online, with some users suggesting the criticisms could resonate with voters frustrated by conditions in Los Angeles rather than weaken Spencer Pratt’s campaign.
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, amplified the video on X, writing, “This attack ad could well elect Pratt.”
Some users on X also mocked the ad’s messaging. One user wrote, “This is supposed to be an attack ad??? Lolol.” Another wrote, “Wow even @UnrigLA is running ads supporting Spencer Pratt. This is such an incredible ad supporting Spencer Pratt!!!”
Fox News Digital has reached out to Spencer Pratt’s campaign and the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor for comment.

The ad comes as Pratt’s mayoral bid has gained attention following his performance in a recent debate, where he drew notice for his blunt criticisms of city leadership and policy priorities, including the handling of homelessness and crime.
Pratt has emphasized issues such as homelessness, public safety and government spending throughout his campaign, positioning himself as a political outsider challenging the status quo in Los Angeles and drawing support from voters dissatisfied with current leadership.
Independent expenditure committees are prohibited from coordinating with candidates and are commonly used by outside groups to influence elections, according to the Los Angeles City Ethics Commission.

Martin Short is breaking his silence on the recent death of his daughter Katherine Short.
During a May 10 appearance on “CBS Sunday Morning,” the 76-year-old actor and comedian spoke out about how he is coping with the loss of Katherine, who died by suicide at the age of 42 in February. Short shared Katherine with his late wife Nancy Dolman, who passed away after a battle with ovarian cancer in 2010.
“It’s been a nightmare for the family,” Short said of Katherine’s death.

“But the understanding [is] that mental health and cancer, like my wife’s, are both diseases, and sometimes with diseases they are terminal,” he continued. “And my daughter fought for a long time with extreme mental health, borderline personality disorder, other things, and did the best she could until she couldn’t.”
Fox News Digital previously confirmed that Katherine died by suicide on Feb.23.

According to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner, Katherine’s place of death was listed as her residence, and the cause was determined to be a “gunshot wound of [the] head.”
“It is with profound grief that we confirm the passing of Katherine Hartley Short,” a family representative shared in a statement with Fox News Digital at the time.
“The Short family is devastated by this loss, and asks for privacy at this time. Katherine was beloved by all and will be remembered for the light and joy she brought into the world.”
Following Katherine’s death, Short postponed dates on his comedy tour with longtime friend and collaborator Steve Martin.

Katherine was the eldest of the three children Short adopted with Dolman. The two also shared sons Oliver, 40 and Henry, 36. The couple were married for more than three decades before Dolman’s death.
Prior to her death, Katherine built a career as a licensed clinical social worker in Los Angeles, focusing on therapy and mental health advocacy after studying psychology at New York University and earning a master’s degree in social work from the University of Southern California. She worked both in private practice and in community outreach connected to mental health services.
Despite a career defined by laughter — from the iconic wedding planner Franck in “Father of the Bride” to his recent turn in the Emmy-winning series “Only Murders in the Building” — Short has never shied away from speaking about the private heartbreak that unfolded behind the scenes.
Early in his life, Short experienced multiple family tragedies in a short span of time, including the death of his older brother David in a car accident in 1962 when the actor was only 12-years-old. Short’s mother, Olive, passed away after a battle with cancer in 1968 and his father, Charles, died following a stroke just two years later in 1970.

“This is the thing of life that we live in denial about, that it will ever happen to us or our loved ones, and when it does you gain a little and you suffer a little. There’s no big surprise.”

Nearly a decade later, he reflected on how grief evolves rather than disappears.
“It’s tough,” he told AARP in 2019. “I still communicate with her all the time. It’s ‘Hey, Nan,’ you know?”
He added, “I believe that when people die, they zoom into the people that love them. This idea that it just ends, and don’t speak of them — that’s wrong. That’s based on denial that we’re all going to die. So to me, she’s still here.”

Minnesota’s Target Center turned into a political stage Saturday night as the Minnesota Lynx home opener against the Atlanta Dream was hijacked by a fan shouting anti-ICE sentiments.
Before a public address announcer took the microphone, the Lynx organization held a moment of silence for Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti, two residents killed during federal immigration operations in January.
The arena announcer then led the formal tribute, stating, “Please join us in honoring Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti with a moment of silence.”

The Lynx organization has leaned heavily into the political narrative surrounding these deaths.
Coach Cheryl Reeve has used her social media platforms to post “#ICEOUT.”
Ex-Lynx guard DiJonai Carrington has also used her personal platform to refer to federal agents as “masked criminals.”
The political firestorm has reached the highest levels of the NBA, at one point forcing Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr to issue a formal apology for his inflammatory and flat-out wrong commentary against ICE after OutKick asked him for clarification on his comments.
Kerr had initially criticized federal agencies for their role in the January shootings, calling the government’s narrative “shameful,” but he admitted to misinterpreting the specific facts of the investigations during a pregame session at Chase Center in late February.
“You’re right, I definitely misspoke, and I knew that ICE was arresting some criminals,” Kerr told OutKick.
“I immediately regretted it because I knew that to be the case. My point is that they’re also arresting people and detaining citizens and people who should not be being detained. The manner in which they’re doing it, as you see, is riling everybody up all over the country.”

Kerr continued, “Being in Minneapolis for those four days was incredibly emotional and powerful. It was a very difficult time for all of us… I misspoke, and I apologize for the misinformation. I hope everybody else out there who’s saying stuff that’s not true, please apologize, too. All right, let’s talk about basketball.”
The rage in Minneapolis centers on two specific events from earlier this year.
On Jan. 7, Renee Good was shot and killed by ICE officer Jonathan Ross. Federal officials claim Good used her vehicle to interfere with a lawful operation, while local activists dispute that account.
On Jan. 24, Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse, was shot 10 times by Border Patrol agents.
Video footage appeared to show Pretti recording the agents on his phone before a physical altercation began.
The violence following Pretti’s death was so severe that a Timberwolves game was postponed versus the Warriors to ensure public safety.
While the Lynx lost a close 91-90 contest to the Dream on Saturday, the game itself was secondary to the continued vitriol against ICE stirring in the WNBA and NBA.
Demonstrators rallied across the Somali capital in support of families displaced by a wave of government-led home demolitions. Opposition figures, who organised the protests, say security forces shot and killed one person while trying to disperse the crowds.

Today, 11th May 2026, is the Navami of Krishna Paksha of Jeshtha. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is on a visit to Gujarat on Monday. At the same time, there is a competition between Punjab and Delhi in IPL.
The fall may not have been deep, but the landing has been hard.
A second trophy-less season for Real Madrid, the most successful La Liga and Champions League club, was confirmed in the worst way possible: a defeat at Barcelona, who, with their win, defended the Spanish title.

Los Blancos kept the title race alive by their fingernails as they crawled their way to Catalonia, knowing that doing so could result in the cruellest of heartbreaks for their fans. And so it came to pass.
Down by two at half-time at Camp Nou – and it could have been a lot more – hanging in there to limit the damage and humiliation was key, but the 2-0 defeat will have cut deeply for a club that has lifted 36 league and 15 Champions League titles.
The defeat means Real will finish second this season, not an unusual circumstance in what has regularly been a two-horse race in La Liga. The manner, however, of their failure this season – including their quarterfinal exit from Europe’s top table – has left far more questions than answers in the Spanish capital after another season of discontent.
How do Real solve a problem like Mbappe?
The signing of Kylian Mbappe from Paris Saint-Germain two seasons ago was seen as a return to the days of collecting the world’s finest talents and collectively calling them “galacticos”.
Real had just completed the league and European double under the illustrious Carlo Ancelotti, the most successful manager in European history and no stranger to managing the top names, having led a list of galacticos in his previous spell as Los Blancos manager.
Last season did not go to plan, though.
Mbappe’s arrival broke up the 4-3-3 formation that had served Real so well for so long, with English midfielder Jude Bellingham playing a key, advanced role, while Vinicius Junior thrived in front of and around him.
Both were forced to shift position to accommodate Mbappe, who prefers to drop deep from his central position to link up play or run with the ball.
It trod on the toes of the two key performers. Even Ancelotti was not immune to the famed Real chop as rumours circulated all season that his failure to gel the team would bring to an end the Italian’s Spanish love affair.
Heralded as the answer to Madrid’s problems after sweeping through German football with Bayer Leverkusen, Alonso is also hailed as a midfield maestro as a player for both Madrid and the Spanish national team.
Rumours were rife from the off that the players did not buy into Alonso’s system, and friction was often apparent with Mbappe, despite the forward’s refound scoring ability. His 24 goals have him two clear at the top of this season’s Spanish scoring chart.
Alonso’s time was clearly up long before the end came, just after the clock ticked in the new calendar year. Alvaro Arbeloa was given the task of guiding the seemingly rudderless ship to the end of the season as interim head coach.
Mbappe’s troubles were only just beginning, though. By the end of the season, a “Mbappe out” petition raised more than 33 million signatures, and the Frenchman was the latest focal point of the Madridistas’ displeasure.
Reconnecting Mbappe with the fans and connecting him with his teammates’ style of play will be the number one focus for the new season.

Can Real resolve Vinicius Jr’s fallout with fans?
Prior to the campaign waged against Mbappe, Vinicius fell foul of the home support, with boos for the forward ringing around a series of performances either side of the Champions League exit at the hands of Bayern Munich.
The Brazilian went on a 19-game run without a goal for club and country between October 10 and January 11.
Ironically, he broke his unwanted streak in the 3-2 Spanish Super Cup final defeat by Barcelona, Alonso’s last game in charge.
The ruptures were apparent, however, and rumours abounded that the 25-year-old’s stay at the only club he has ever known could be coming to an end.
Manchester United were the first to be linked with a move for the versatile forward, but all of Europe’s elite will be on red alert should there be any indication that Real may consider Vinicius as the way to reshape the team around their most bankable asset on and off the field: Mbappe.
Will Valverde and Tchouameni survive dressing-room bust-up?
As the day of destiny at Barcelona approached, the last thing Real needed were more unwanted headlines, let alone from two of the brighter spots in an otherwise dark campaign.
Uruguay’s Federico Valverde and France’s Aurelien Tchouameni were involved in a training-ground bust-up on Thursday, which left the former needing a trip to hospital for a head injury, ruling the midfielder out of the coming weeks.
Real swiftly fined both players on Friday, but Tchouameni was still named in the starting lineup at Barcelona.
Should Real decide that one or both were required to leave to avoid a potential toxic fallout in the dressing room, then, much like in the case of Vinicius, the phone lines of Europe’s top clubs will be working overtime to seal one or the other.

Is Jose Mourinho’s return the answer for Real?
Cometh the hour, cometh the man?
Given the extent of the discontent across the club, the job of replacing Alonso on a full-time basis will require something not far short of a miracle.
Mourinho was not a popular choice in his time in the Real dugout, given his pragmatic tactics, seen as defensive by some, which were out of keeping with Real’s free-flowing philosophy.
Given the chasm between Los Blancos and Barca – not to mention the German and French top teams and the financial power of the English Premier League – Real fans may find themselves being a little more forgiving of Mourinho’s style.
The return of Ancelotti – a man born out of an Italian Serie A that only knew a defence-first mindset – proved successful and popular, and Real are known for their desire for managers with lengthy and proven track records.
Mourinho, who says there has been no contact to date with Real, would ruffle feathers, as his stint at Manchester United proved. But he regarded his second-placed finish behind cross-city rivals City with the Old Trafford club as one of his greatest achievements.
Lifting Real one place from their successive runner-up spots in La Liga may not be beyond the 63-year-old, who won La Liga, the Copa Del Rey and the Spanish Super Cup with Real in his 2010-2013 stint. The spell also resulted in three Champions League semifinal appearances.
The Portuguese also provided an early-season wake-up call for Real in this campaign, when his Benfica side claimed a 4-2 league-phase win that pushed Los Blancos into the Champions League playoffs, which they did eventually progress from with a win against Benfica in a rerun over two legs.
Who else could be the next Real manager?
The rally-rousing Jurgen Klopp would certainly help with the reconnection Real so desperately need with their fans. He is renowned in his title-winning spells, both domestic and European, with Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool, for uniting the players and fans in a shared, focused mindset. It could be the antidote for the current malaise, a cathartic approach that contrasts with the momentum building behind Mourinho’s latest comeback.
Another widely respected German is Julian Nagelsmann, who is currently in charge of his country’s national side, but may call time on the role after the 2026 World Cup.
At 38 years old, it may be seen as a risk – not dissimilar to the 44-year-old Alonso – but a three-year stay with Bayern Munich, prior to taking on the German job in 2023, may count in his favour.
It is thought that Didier Deschamps may also be coming to the end of his time in charge of the France team, and his former French international teammate Zinedine Zidane is also linked with a second spell at Real. Despite his 57 years, Deschamps has limited experience as a club manager, a contrast with another of the perceived frontrunners, Massimiliano Allegri, who led Juventus to five consecutive league titles in his native Italy.
The task of leading one of the most successful clubs in football is becoming unenviable. But the rebuild begins now, and the rise will start out of the ashes of the crash and burn that culminated in Sunday’s defeat, deep in enemy territory, at Camp Nou.
