@karol They aren’t drinking because they aren’t socializing. Less reason to go out when everyone is home on their phones. Harder to have house parties when everyone has a camera (plus more legal liability today).
English
Hot take: I think teens and 20-somethings aren’t drinking because their parents were too “cool” about it and ruined the mystique for them.

@RoxanneHoge @GOPLosAngeles @CAGOP @LACountyRRCC My ballot… Got a notice it was mailed May 4 and have not received it yet.

He’s clearly taken an edible and is high as a kite.
Gavin Newsom@GavinNewsom
Canceling elections. Silencing free speech. Deploying private police against your own citizens. History has a term for Donald Trump's behavior.

@spencerpratt You should always independently record or videotape your interviews in their entirety.
English
CBS should release the full, unedited interview. The voters deserve to hear from their next mayor.
Spencer Pratt@spencerpratt
After CBS embarrassed Karen Bass by fact-checking her debate lies about the Palisades Fire, they clearly got the call. CBS filmed with me on my burned out lot for over an hour, and they turned it over to Karen Bass’ PR team to edit it into a comical 5 minute hit piece with clips from the Hills. They can’t beat my ideas, they can’t beat me in the debates, so they gotta try to turn my campaign into a sideshow. People are done with these skeezy political tricks, and I’m done with CBS. They’ll never get a word from me for my next 8 years as mayor. Adios! What outlet should I have in their absence?

@DavidTangipa Should be abandoned, and the scar running through the valley paved over to create a truck freeway parallel to the 99

🚄 California High-Speed “Gravy Train”
This project is on track to become one of the worst infrastructure failures in history.
After nearly 20 years and almost $20 billion spent, there is still no fully operational track, no completed system, and no clear path to success.
Under the latest draft business plan, the line doesn’t even fully connect Merced to Bakersfield—it’s now described as “near Merced” to “near Bakersfield.”
How can we determine completion when the route itself isn’t fully finalized and changes with every new project update?
Do you think we should continue with the California Gravy Train and comment what you would do with what we have?

For those who remember the City of Grants Pass case, where the Supreme Court held that (obviously) cities can enforce generally applicable anti-camping bans on the public roads and sidewalks without violating the Eighth Amendment, it may not surprise you to learn that the Grants Pass decision is effectively a dead letter in many jurisdictions. Plaintiffs and federal judges have found many other theories to stop cities from cleaning up the streets and sidewalks.
Consider this case from Berkeley -- not exactly a bastion of conservatism! Berkeley wants to remove a large homeless encampment because, among other reasons, there was an outbreak of Leptospirosis.
Well, a federal judge in San Francisco has ruled that removal of tents and RVs are subject to...the Americans with Disabilities Act! Think about how crazy that is. The ADA requires reasonable accommodations for disabled persons so that they can enjoy City programs and services. But what the judge has effectively ruled is that ADA claimants are entitled to reasonable accommodations from generally applicable laws. That's like says there is an ADA exemption for murder or theft. Obviously that's preposterous. Generally applicable laws are not programs from which one can exempt one's self by claiming to be disabled.
The judge also ruled that by removing tents, the City is creating a danger under the state-created danger doctrine and thereby violates due process. I don't know of any case where enforcing generally applicable laws has been held to create a danger. Again, these doctrines aren't intended to allow exemptions from general legal prohibitions.
How long do cities and their residents have to live like this? How long until we recognize that allowing several individual federal judges to play God-King-Legislator is unsustainable? By the time this gets up to the Supreme Court, it will have been over a decade since the original Boise decision that disabled cities from enforcing camping bans under the Eighth Amendment. Over a decade where cities and their residents couldn't adopt reasonable policies.
THIS is why the SHADOW DOCKET exists. Because federal judges keep doing crazy things, and it's only a matter of time before they get overturned. In the meantime the public health and safety, and our democracy, suffers for years and years.

@TomSteyer Your party’s useless environmental regulations and excessive taxes gave us Californians expensive gas you nitwit

California: The man who brought you $8 gasoline would like you to vote for Steve Hilton.
English
@TomSteyer Either send your fortune to the IRS and lead by example or shut the fuck up and leave us alone. Better yet, no matter what you do just leave us alone, we are taxed enough already.
English
Billionaires like me and big corporations need to pay more in taxes, because too many Californians are struggling to get by.

@RepJeffries If he should end his campaign for governor shouldn’t he also resign from congress?

Statement on the Serious Accusations against Rep. Eric Swalwell.

@BasedMikeLee The amendment should be at least partially retrospective to children of birth tourism. That is if the child was merely born in the US but grew up abroad then that child has had no reliance on being a US citizen and should not be able to maintain a claim to it.
English
Would you support a constitutional amendment prospectively limiting birthright citizenship to children born to U.S. citizen parents?
Jonathan Turley@JonathanTurley
The Hill just posted my column on the possible need for a 28th amendment on citizenship after the Supreme Court rules in Trump v. Barbara. The combination of open borders and open-ended citizenship is an existential threat to this Republic...thehill.com/opinion/immigr…

@BasedMikeLee No. They can get permanent residency but not citizenship.

@BehizyTweets You should be happy about judicial review, it helped stop Obama and Biden from doing much worse
English
@ishapiro It not a good point at all. The ends don’t justify the means. Justice does not come from injustice.
English
@MatthewKroenig Some of us care about the continued violation of the US Constitution (by both Republicans and Democrats) and don’t give a f*** about mythical “international law” and/or “international order”
English
To those worried about legal process, I’d argue that the strikes against Iran ultimately strengthen a rules-based international order. Khamenei broke all the rules for decades, and now he has been brought to justice.

@darren_stallcup Lower taxes and prohibit government unions from interfering in elections

anybody got any suggestions on how we can save California?
I’ll go first. we need a new governor

@TerriAd26346926 @Milajoy Senator Collins is supporting the SAVE Act.
Also, in Maine, Sen. Collins is the most conservative candidate that can win unlike Sen. Murkowski in Alaska.
English
Trump won Alaska by 13 points in 2024.
Lisa Murkowski is a US Senator from Alaska.
Alaska wants the SAVE America Act, but Murkowski doesn't care.
She's a NO.
She was elected to do her constituents bidding, but instead she's doing her own.
Alaska needs a NEW Senstor.

@C__Herridge Unpopular opinion, but the statue of limitations has run on any crime Comey may have committed
English
Can the Justice Department still bring criminal charges against former FBI Director James Comey after his case was dismissed…
“I don't know any time in American history where you had the government assist one party's candidate in spying on the other party's presidential candidate,” says @Jim_Jordan.
“But Jim Comey did that. So we'll see if they can prove criminal liability there. But what I know is he was wrong.”

Straight to the Point: Chairman Jim Jordan With violence raging against @ICEgov in Minnesota, @Jim_Jordan said the GOP midterm strategy should be to “tell them what we did and then frankly also remind the voters, the left is crazy.” “It's crazy not to have a border. It's crazy not to fund the police. It's crazy to say you want to abolish ICE,” Jordan said. “It is crazy to say men should compete against women in sports…So I think this campaign is so basic, but you got to go tell the voters” Jordan also weighed in on recent Judiciary Committee hearings, saying “No one gets a pass.” - House will hold Clintons in Contempt if it comes to a vote - Jack Smith no different than Comey, all options on the table - More than a dozen GOP lawmakers phone records collected by Smith - “Facts and evidence are there” to indict former CIA Director Brennan 00:35 Jack Smith: “Everything is on the table” 1:20 This was political: “Jack Smith was no different than Comey” 03:18 Jordan believes more than a dozen GOP lawmakers had phone logs collected by Jack Smith 03:55 “It is really important that we as Americans never forget, never ever forget what they did to the guy we elected president, twice.” 05:30 No independent confirmation of JAN 6 star witness 06:45 Does Liz Cheney get a pass? 07:55 DOJ: Epstein Files deadline, next steps 09:00 Predicts Full House holds Clintons in Contempt of Congress 10:05 House Speaker backs push to impeach judges over “egregious abuses” 11:28 Articles of Impeachment: Judge Boasberg 11:47 Polymarket Odds on Midterm elections 12:05 Midterms: “Tell them what we did, then frankly remind the voters the left is crazy” 13:25 Can the DOJ still bring criminal charges against Comey? 14:15 Jordan on former CIA Director Brennan: “I think he should definitely be indicted” 15:25 “One of the most arrogant individuals. It was almost like, ‘How dare you ask me questions? I'm (former DNI) James Clapper, I’m so much smarter than you hillbillies from Ohio.” 16:05 Predicts Strzok and Page keep DOJ/FBI financial settlements 16:59 Biden/Garland Justice Department holdovers stalling cases for AG Bondi 19:28 Independent Media: “In a fair fight, conservative principles, First Amendment win out” 20:25 GOP toll records can be more revealing than the content of the phone calls In a recent letter, Brennan’s attorney accused the Trump DOJ of “Judge-shopping” in the former CIA Director’s case. An attorney for Cassidy Hutchinson has not responded to our requests for comment. @latimesmg @latimesstudios_

Disaster Profiteering. California will generate profit from the Palisades, Altadena, Malibu fire. This is wrong. In no way should the financial and emotional pain the city and state greatly caused (and then actively covered up) be rewarded with tax incrementality.
Between 1) Sales tax, 2) Permitting fees, 3) Long term property tax benefits the city and state will take in up to $10 BILLION in incremental tax revenue (not to mention ULA). Sales tax alone on the $50 billion estimated rebuild costs could equate to $5 billion in taxes on their own victims.
Not only are Governor Newsom and Mayor Bass avoiding accountability and liability, but they are actually generating income on a disaster of their making - lack of prevention, precaution, protocol.
They Let Us Burn… and it’s a long-term profit center.
These incentives are broken.
Sincerely,

@AckTeacher @Kathy4Truth @michaeljknowles False. We have a jungle primary, which means all candidates appear on one primary ballot and the top two, regardless of party, move onto the general election.

@Kathy4Truth @michaeljknowles They have rank choice voting - republicans need to make the right moves here. Idk if it’s one drops out and they all work together to conquer the state with both working on campaign trail -
