@JeffBrees @FlemingWords Poverty rate was higher under governor Pete Wilson in the 1990's than under Newsom.

California is expensive! In the past year+, CA has outpaced the nation in inflation in every category except education (barely), according to LAO in Feb.
Those gas prices tho.

California’s revenues are $7 billion HIGHER than expected.
Fox News is about to have a MELTDOWN.
H.D. Palmer@HDatFinance
February revenues came in $154 million above the month's forecast; for the fiscal year to date, we're up $7 billion. Details here: dof.ca.gov/media/docs/for…

@baystreet85 @FlemingWords and the poverty rate, income inequality, and wealth inequality gets worse and worse, and worse.
English
@FlemingWords Good thing real (over and above inflation) median household income has risen 16% since 2018.
English
@FlemingWords @GavinNewsom keeps saying it's all Trump's fault. some of it is, but that doesn't explain the pacing.

@comradetrend @CalNatResources @GovPressOffice partially, true. but the Foundation had limited resources $37 million so the State had to pay the balance $77 million.

Just last year, California completed four wildlife crossings with an average price tag of $16 million – and 37 more are in progress across the state at an average cost of $15 million.
The Annenberg Wildlife Crossing is the most ambitious project of its kind in the world with a much larger scale – it does not represent the average cost of our work to build more wildlife connectivity.
Benji Backer@BenjiBacker
Colorado built this wildlife overpass last year for $15 million. It’ll pay for itself within five years from the avoided collisions. California spending $114 million on a failed wildlife overpass is absurd.

#BREAKINGNEWS: Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass on Thursday signed a proclamation renaming the city's Cesar Chavez Day holiday as "Farm Workers Day," in light of sex assault allegations against the late labor leader.
Bass said she has been in contact with Chávez's family, and they are in support of the move. spr.ly/6013B6n9ND

Good news: The John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award going to the people of the Twin Cities is a recognition of how our state persevered and led the way in defending freedom and democracy.
English
@CalNatResources so, assuming the 37 projects are built for the cost outlined (which is highly unlikely given precedents), Cal Government will spend $600 million on crossings when our roads are complete shit.
English
@comradetrend @CalNatResources @GovPressOffice it's the cost of the project, moron, especially when the infrastructure in California is falling apart.
English
@CalNatResources @GovPressOffice Thank you. Can’t stand the haters. No reasoning with people who don’t understand shit from poop
English
@CalNatResources it is a moronic project, and the cost is absurd. i wonder why, California?
English
@ZavalaA @EricLDaugh thanks for telling the truth, Ashley. it's also true that Gavin is not being truthful with the overruns of this project, or the fact that his office is on the commission.
English
@EricLDaugh Hi. That's me and I've been covering this story for years. This one is from 2024.
Governor Newsom will never use this office building. He also didn't approve it. California's Democratic leaders in the Assembly and Senate are overseeing the project.
English
🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Californians are shocked after Democrats got exposed for spending $1.2 BILLION in taxpayer dollars on a new office for Gavin Newsom and lawmakers
And "THOUSANDS" of people signed NDAs to keep the details secret!
This is utter MADNESS.

@Elex_Michaelson @quiet_follower @JOSEPHJAMESV3 @mazemoore so? where exactly did you push back, Elex? just lying again whenever a Newsom is on camera, eh?
English
@quiet_follower @JOSEPHJAMESV3 @mazemoore This interview is from 4 years ago. It was a local news segment where she’s promoting a documentary that was released 4 years ago.
You would have asked her about a book tour for a book that hadn’t been released yet? Or comments that hadn’t happened yet?

@Mizzoukidsmom @SenatorDurbin why was the left silent when 67 people died in these camps when Obama was President?
English
@SenatorDurbin Which is why you all need to shut these concentration camps down. Which billionaires own these camps and put some strong pressure on them to take their losses and get the fuc*k out of there.
English
Someone is dying in ICE custody every week, if not more frequently.
This is a crisis.

Seven times.
That's how many times Democrats have tried to fund TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard.
And every single time, Republicans have refused. They would rather protect ICE's lawlessness than protect our communities.
How despicable.

@DanGrif65479808 @CAgovernor the left destroyed teslas. why does the left hate clean energy cars?
English
@CAgovernor Seems the right can’t stand clean energy. Kinda sad.
English
California is beating its own climate goals ahead of schedule:
✅ Two-thirds of the state grid powered by clean energy
✅ More than 2.5M electric vehicles
✅ 201K public chargers (more than gas nozzles)
✅ 17,000 MW of battery storage (2nd only to China)
The cynics said it couldn't be done.

@DefiantLs Bernie has more wealth than the bottom 31% of people in America, combined. Shouldn't he give up his wealth to help these people?
English
Bernie Sanders melts down on the Senate floor,
"60% percent of our people are living paycheck to paycheck, and one, Elon Musk, owns more than the bottom 53% of American households..."

@TravisJThaxton @DefiantLs haha. oh, you didn't mean that as a joke?
English
@DefiantLs He'd likely have won elections if he was younger.

@ParryThisIxian @kiddwikked @greendragonhq it could take forever, who cares. i'd prefer if they not waste taxpayer $$$ for this nonsense when our roads are shit.
English
@kiddwikked @greendragonhq They’re complaining about a wildlife bridge?? Is there no end to their mental deficiencies. Who gives a shit if it takes longer than expected
English
MAGA loves to bash infrastructure progress in blue states, but they’ve been dead silent while the White House has looked like this for a year.
Matt Walsh@MattWalshBlog
The Hoover Dam was built in the amount of time it has taken California to construct a small bridge for cats and butterflies. The Empire State Building was built in about a quarter of the time.
