The biggest thing I wanted to highlight in talking to this news company was to highlight the corruption in Oakland's City Hall and the unfair treatment of working class landlords. @nikki4oakland @DanKalb @Kaplan4Oakland Bay Area media has not covered this story to the degree it deserves. Oakland leaders were corrupt, inept and absolute unjust in their treatment of working class landlords. They talk junk about helping black folks with reparations but it is BS because a lot of black folks have been forced to sell their generational wealth and leave Oakland for example. Because of their corrupt ways and actions from an unfair eviction moratorium, we cannot let them slide. They gentrify people of all races. PROPERTY RIGHTS should be respected in all of the United States but this Oakland this City Council tried to take, abuse and use private citizens properties for their evil experiments in housing. Thank you @SiyamakKhorrami and @EpochTimes for allowing me to tell the story of this Oakland City Council. WE NEED TO RECALL ALL OF THEM IMMEDIATELY AND OAKLAND LANDLORDS NEED A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT! @EastBayRHA @SenecaSpeaks21 @bett_yu @pnjaban

@jemelehill Shut up.....just shut up.....you made money race baiting and now you dont wanna leave the stage. Karen Bass is shit. All of California knows that....

Vote no on socialist/communists. And, no their funding is not clean. Their leftist movement is funded by the darkest of dark money, billionaires in China.

Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee today was “deeply concerned” by SFPD arresting a suspect in Oakland wanted for 2 armed robberies. Was she “deeply concerned” earlier when a man was stabbed to death Saturday in Oakland ? The answer is No. @BarbaraLee_CA: too old, too tired, too out of touch. eastbaytimes.com/2026/05/24/oak…

David Sacks: "California collects roughly double per capita what Texas and Florida do… And services got worse, test scores got worse, crime prevention got worse, they let convicts out of jails. Everything's gotten worse."

@matthewrquan @ClayTravis I don't see Newsom winning battleground states. Vance Rubio ticket would be strong. Dems are ust running strictly on TDS.

@ClayTravis Gavin Newsom does have a base (approximately 10-15%): Rich liberal white boomers (Clintonistas, Republicans, and Jewish), gay men, and China. Newsom is not likable but his base is definable. Newsom has about a 20% of becoming the nominee. Newsom also trails Kamala Harris.

Kamala is going to be the nominee. The more Gavin Newsom talks the less people like him. If he were a black woman that wouldn’t matter, but Newsom has no base. He and Mayor Pete will battle for the white wine moms. Shapiro is Jewish and done. It’s going to be Kamala.

@DennisOLeary50 @ClayTravis It will not be AOC either....I agree.

@ClayTravis not a chance she survives a primary

Truth be told, California and the nation will be a better place once we retire Gavin Newsom @CAgovernor and @MayorOfLA they have been around jacking up our state for too long. We need new leaders! It is crazy that Gavin Newsom even thinks he can be President.

@ChadBianco has run a good campaign. The dude has guts to be a Sheriff runinng for office. I don't care about right, left or whatever, just ideas/policies for me. I give credit where it is due. Chad has not spent $300 million dollars like crazy ass @TomSteyer

@Twolfrecovery @mattdorsey Good stuff. We also need to highlight groups and individuals that are doing good things in housing too. There are many on the ground doing good work and are not stealing! Good stuff @Twolfrecovery

Is harm reduction and Housing First working or making the problem worse? To answer that, look at three cities. Seattle, Denver and LA. Then, look at a city now focusing on drug-free recovery policy like San Francisco. It's getting better. @mattdorsey

Wishing a person with cancer death, along with his wife. Classy. And not only does Nyisha DuVal-Brown work at @sfdefender she is a Dream Keeper Fellow. Your tax dollars at work. @ManoRajuPD @DanielLurie good look for San Francisco.

It's legal to lie in political campaigns. That doesn't make it right. The "Yes on Measure E" campaign claims it will "lower taxes for a majority of homeowners" — but nothing in the actual text of the measure makes that binding. No one has offered proof it's true. 🔗 oaklandreport.org/p/its-legal-to…

The only growth Gavin has accomplished...

Opinion: Spencer Pratt's goals shouldn't be controversial, but in today's political climate, even quality-of-life concerns are often dismissed as "MAGA." usatoday.com/story/opinion/…

Send a message to Oakand City Hall that they can't continue to rip-off renters, homeowners and businesses--VOTE NO ON E.

Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee is telling bold face lies about Measure E and Measure NN. Ignore this if you want. But understand this clearly: we intend to sue the City of Oakland over the broken promises tied to Measure NN, and city leaders will eventually have to explain these contradictions under oath, not behind podiums or campaign mailers. So go ahead, Measure E supporters. Barbara Lee supporters. Leave your comments. Defend it all publicly. The internet is forever, and we will revisit every one of these statements when this ends up in court. Measure NN was sold to voters with promises of public safety staffing and accountability. Now, suddenly, we’re told Oakland needs another parcel tax to fulfill the promises of the last parcel tax. And if you are voting yes on Measure E, ask yourself why. Why are you comfortable being misled over and over again? Why does protecting a political brand matter more than honesty, competence, or actual results? Oakland keeps paying more and getting less. More taxes. Fewer officers. Worse services. Endless excuses. No one seriously disputes that these promises are shifting in real time. Even the city’s own reports acknowledge they are failing to meet voter-mandated requirements. Yet the same political machine comes back demanding more money, more trust, and less scrutiny. Oakland’s leadership wraps itself in the language of compassion and progress while the city continues to decline around working people who are expected to quietly absorb the cost. Enough. Wake up, Oakland. Vote NO on Measure E. open.substack.com/pub/oaklandrep…

4 tax hikes in just 3 years isn’t a standard request—it’s aggressive taxation overreach. 🛑 Oakland residents and local businesses are tapped out. City Hall needs to manage its budget, not hand us another bill. Vote NO on Measure E! #NoOnMeasureE #Oakland

I point out to @XavierBecerra that CA has the nation's highest poverty rate, gas prices, housing costs & most homeless people. "Are Democrats in charge of this state doing a good job?" "We could do better, no doubt. But we are the 4th largest economy in the world." Is there a specific policy change he'd make as Governor? "We'll get things done..." He says he'll "build more housing." More: youtube.com/watch?v=VJgaS6…

I’m a lifelong Democrat I don’t care if an idea comes from the left, the right, or anywhere in between. I care if it works Vote for ideas first People second Parties third LA is collapsing under ideology and incompetence This man actually wants to solve the problem

Scott Weiner supported decriminalization on BART, he opposed prop 36 and was silent on the recall of Chesa Boudin despite his support of Brooke Jenkins. His public safety policy makes no sense. What is he gonna be in Congress after Trump is gone?

@katieporterca Teump cant run again. Move on and talk about policies and quit the bulllshit.

As Trump and his friends continue to attack abortion rights across the country, I will never hesitate to go toe-to-toe with anyone threatening reproductive healthcare in California.
