Resign liar. - Dignity Program (~8-11 million undocumented present before 2021) Weak $7,000 restitution over 7 years + minimal checks; renewable indefinitely; creates permanent legal work status. Classic amnesty that forgives illegal stay. Rewards lawbreaking; cheaper labor pool competes directly for jobs/wages; strains housing, schools, and public services. - Dreamer Provisions (~2.5-2.7 million) Fast-track conditional green cards with path to full residency/citizenship; waives many crimes and inadmissibility grounds. Skips legal queues. Displaces American workers and legal immigrants waiting abroad; incentivizes more illegal family migration; expands long-term benefit/voter base. - Massive Legal Immigration Expansion (~55% increase or +5+ million over a decade) Exempts spouses/kids from caps; $20k fast-track for backlogs; unlimited STEM/OPT-style visas with weak wage protections. Harms U.S. workers (especially STEM and entry-level) via wage suppression and more competition; overloads infrastructure in tight labor markets. - Border Security / E-Verify / Asylum "Reforms" Phased E-Verify with exemptions (e.g., small farms); "humanitarian campuses" seen as soft; enforcement undermined by upfront legalization. Fails real deterrence — past amnesties triggered surges; citizens bear costs of fraud, vetting failures, and ongoing chaos for millions. - "No Cost / No Benefits" Claims Penalties too low to offset burdens; creates underclass or future amnesty pressure; misleads on taxpayer impact. Prioritizes "dignity" for non-citizens over rule of law, jobs, wages, and sovereignty for Americans.

Hello @TomSteyer, California gas prices are “outrageous” — we agree. It is unfortunate that our customers are not only paying high prices for gasoline but even more to just to feed the voracious appetite of a bloated state bureaucracy. But let’s stick to the data instead of the usual Sacramento script. As of April 2026: • CA average: ~$5.89/gallon • National average: ~$4.08/gallon • Difference: +$1.81 that has ZERO to do with any war or “Big Oil.” That premium has existed for decades — long before this conflict began. Highest gas taxes & fees in America (~71¢ excise + sales + cap-and-trade + LCFS credits = nearly $1.80/gal in total state burden). CARB’s boutique “California-only” fuel blend that no other state can supply. Decades of refinery closures, low-carbon mandates, and permitting hell that slashed in-state capacity while CA imported more crude from foreign sources. Nevada imports 85-90% of its fuel from those same strangled California refineries. Arizona gets ~33%. Green ideology isn’t just screwing Californians — it’s pricing out your neighbors too. (Sound familiar, @AaronDFordNV?) You and Governor Newsom keep blaming Trump and producers for the mess Sacramento engineered. Meanwhile, the same CARB regs you cheered are now a national security issue for DoD bases on the West Coast. Trump’s Defense Production Act moves to fix what ideology broke. That’s not “Big Oil” — that’s basic energy security. And while we’re on the topic of who really benefits: It is our understanding that you built your ~$2 billion fortune running Farallon Capital, a hedge fund that delivered big returns in part through investments in fossil fuels — including coal mines and power plants abroad. Then your fund pivoted to climate investing via Galvanize Climate Solutions, raising hundreds of millions for “decarbonization” plays and profitinh handsomely from the subsidies, mandates, and regulations. In political science terms this would be called rent-seeking. Energy security isn’t optional. American oil & gas delivers it — when Sacramento gets out of the way. But it sounds like if elected you're not prepared to get out of the way. At any rate, thank you for sharing your views on this important issue.

IDEOLOGICAL CENSORSHIP. @ABC7 News Los Angeles revealed that they are using AI to edit DHS statements to conform to their narrative bias, including the removal of an illegal alien’s criminal background. There are no journalistic “ethics and standards” that empower the media to leave out key facts. Furthermore, they decided to shamelessly lie in their article and claim that DHS did not respond to their inquiry.







Last week, Governor Newsom denied that widespread fraud was occurring in his state. Now, he's trying to claim credit for fighting it. Totally incoherent—he is clearly worried that fraud will sink him.
