@christopherrufo First of all, landscaping? Throw some dirt on it and in a couple of years it will be just like the foothills. Green grasses in the early spring and kindling the rest of the year. Second, what's going to happen on the west side of this thing? There is frontage road still to cross.

EXCLUSIVE: Gavin Newsom promised to build a bridge for cougars and butterflies in the middle of Los Angeles. The project has turned into another boondoggle, with broken deadlines and costs exploding to $114 million. This is Newsom's bridge to nowhere. city-journal.org/article/califo…

@GovPressOffice I just got back from a trip to Texas. Gas was so much cheaper than here in California I let the rent-a-car company fill up the tank when I turned the car back in.

Average gas prices in California have stayed below $5 for nearly two years. Trump’s new war is already rattling markets. We’re watching this space. Closely.

@GavinNewsom You should be worrying about other things like the Goodyear blimp. Can't wait to see what images we will see from it when the PGA comes to the Palisades this weekend.

Ted Cruz calling a dyslexic person illiterate is a new low, even for him.

@SenMarkKelly I guess even ex Naval combat veterans can be lying pieces of shit.

@SenAdamSchiff He was reelected after the impeachments so obviously America has forgotten. Idiot

This is what Donald Trump wants you to forget. America never will.

@axios More than 80% of all physicians have chosen not to join the AMA. What does that tell you?

The Trump administration has threatened funding cuts and law enforcement against providers of gender-affirming care — especially to minors — care that is supported by the American Medical Association. trib.al/gOvDDIr

@brianstelter The majority of NPR and PBS audiences are college educated professionals. Why should anyone have to subsidize their entertainment?

NPR filed a First Amendment lawsuit against the Trump admin this morning, alleging that Trump's order to defund NPR is a "clear violation of the Constitution." In Trump's first term, I would not have expected to write that ☝️ In Trump's second term, it was just a matter of time.

@CAgovernor @USACEHQ I can't believe it took all those months to figure out how to switch those electric traffic signs from "Open to Residents Only" to "Now Open to the Public"

In California, we get stuff done — period. Thanks to the tireless efforts of the construction workers, road crews, and @USACEHQ members since the LA fires, the Pacific Coast Highway will be open just in time for Memorial Day Weekend.

@RepSwalwell How about showing your family a little more respect. Every time you post something like this Fang Fang's name comes up. You're embarrassing them.

Wait. Pete Hegseth hasn’t resigned yet?

@CaptMarkKelly No, you're just getting rid of it before the blue haired cry bullies from your side of the aisle blow it up.

I bought a Tesla because it was fast like a rocket ship. But now every time I drive it, I feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people. So Tesla, you’re fired! New ride coming soon.

@BillKristol Figures someone who poses with his finger in his ear would post something like that.

"Elon Musk, our new unelected overlord, is mad at Bill Kristol. Very, very mad. And his hordes of online minions are mad. What’s really going on here is Elon thinks that by siccing an online mob on Bill, he can intimidate him—and all of us—into silence." thebulwark.com/p/the-real-rea…

@CBSNews Instead of wasting billions of dollars on bullet trains maybe the money would be better spent burying powerlines and building rainwater catch basins.

A newly proposed California state law would create a new pathway for victims of wildfires and insurance companies to sue oil companies over climate change. cbsn.ws/3CnXlwr

@GavinNewsom @SpeakerJohnson Just wondering. When fire victims build back are they going to be able to keep paying the same property tax amounts that they were paying before the fire or are you going to consider it "new construction" and jack up their rates accordingly?

My message to @SpeakerJohnson:

@EdMarkey No, it has everything to do with high pressure systems. When they set up over the Great Basin we get Santa Ana winds and downed powerlines. When they set up over the Four Corners area we get subtropical moister and lightning strikes.

This is what a climate emergency looks like.

@acnewsitics Don't know about the firefighters, but maybe California can stop wasting billions of dollars on bullet trains, for an example, and use that money for rain water catch basins and to bury powerlines instead.

Can one of you MAGAs explain how tf can firefighters stop this? x.com/djhomicide/sta…

@JudiciaryDems Aren't you guys always bitching about money in politics? Imagine the money one would need to run a successful campaign based on a popular vote. A candidate would have to advertise in every single market in the country. Kamala Harris would have blown a few trillion dollar.

BREAKING: A group of Senate Democrats introduce bill to abolish the Electoral College, restoring democracy by allowing the direct election of presidents through popular vote alone.

@jonathanchait @jk_rowling Quick question: On abortion, is it anti-choice or pro-life? I would say that it is basic decency to call those against abortion what they want to be called...pro-life.

@jk_rowling Just call people what they want to be called. It’s basic decency.

Calling a man a man is not 'bullying' or 'punching down.' Crossdressing straight men are currently one of the most pandered-to demographics in existence, and women are under no obligation to applaud the people caricaturing us.

@NewYorkStateAG Why didn't go after the bank that gave Trump the loan? By your reasoning they were complicit in this so called fraud.

@HillaryClinton Quick...How many pounds of cattle make up 1 cattle futures contract? Don't peek.

I believe in rewarding hard work. But trillionaires shouldn't exist—especially in a country where kids still go hungry. cnbc.com/2024/01/22/wor…

@mcuban Too funny. I guy involved in professional sports talking about equity.

2. Equity Treating people equally does not mean treating them the same. I made the mistake for a lot of years thinking it did. Equity is a core principle of business. Put your employees in a position to succeed. Recognize their differences and play to their strengths where ever possible. It is not a hard concept. But it is not easy to implement. Most workforces don't have the depth of management to do this well. When it's not done well it can create tension and resentment.

Let me help you out and give you my thoughts on DEI 1. Diversity Good businesses look where others don't, to find the employees that will put your business in the best possible position to succeed. You may not agree, but I take it as a given that there are people of various races, ethnicities, orientation, etc that are regularly excluded from hiring consideration. By extending our hiring search to include them, we can find people that are more qualified. The loss of DEI-Phobic companies is my gain. 1a. We live in a country with very diverse demographics. In this era where trust of businesses can be hard to come by, people tend to connect more easily to people who are like them. Having a workforce that is diverse and representative of your stakeholders is good for business.
