@Furrystoat @JennyChachan The tax goes to the county general fund. All they needed was 50% vote. These are county executives celebrating. Dozens of MD salaries over $1M and county manager $660K transparentcalifornia.com/salaries/2024/…

@JennyChachan Just astonishing that people would be celebrating a sales tax increase.
No thoughts of reducing Government and increasing freedoms instead?
Just increasing taxes, so that Ladies like Jenny will have to pay more for groceries & other things?
Honestly, what's wrong with people?

CA Governor candidate Katie Porter to CBS California’s Julie Watts mid-interview:
“I don’t want to keep doing this, I’m gonna call it”
JW: So you’re not going to do the interview with us?
KP: Nope, not like this I’m not, not with 7 follow ups to every single question.

Katie Porter, the leading Democrat in the race for California governor goes full Incredulous Karen after a journalist has the audacity to ask basic follow up questions when Porter scoffed at the idea of needing Trump supporters to win

@JenSiebelNewsom @CAgovernor Trusted scientists*
*brought to you by phizer
English
The CDC is being gutted of expertise and reshaped by politics at the very moment families most need clarity. Replacing trusted scientists with skeptics will only spread confusion and put children, parents, and elders in harm’s way.
California, together with our West Coast Health Alliance, will continue standing with the doctors, nurses, and scientists who put health and safety first.
Governor Gavin Newsom@CAgovernor
California is rejecting RFK Jr.'s baseless vaccine restrictions and issuing our own recommendations as part of the West Coast Health Alliance — rooted in evidence, safety, and shared by doctors across the nation. We won't let the Trump Administration jeopardize our health.

@patriotUG2023 After the gruesome image of what happened viewed by millions, there’s something to be said for a visual of his body at rest with his loved one.

Why would they film her in a private moment like this? Who records (or would allow someone to record) mourning over an open casket?
And then she posts it on Instagram???
Who does that?

AB495 passes Assembly concurrence and now headed to the Governors desk to be signed into law. This bill will allow an adult - 5 degrees of separation- to take guardianship over a minor and make educational and medical decision for that child. No parent signature required

@calbulldog I once heard a high up local government employee say in conversation (about the exodus of Californians) that taxes and politics are unrelated. They either truly believe that or encourage ignorance of the connection
English
Why do Californians accept mediocre results from their politicians, when Californians have to work so hard and spend so much to fund their politicians failures.

@SCMountainGoat @Elex_Michaelson @ZavalaA @KATYSaccitizen Drinking problem? Looks like a 👃❄️ problem
English
There’s a reason he only does interviews with journalists he knows won’t push back on him very hard.
Right @Elex_Michaelson?
You’ll never see @ZavalaA or @KATYSaccitizen get a sit down inter with him.
Eric Daugherty@EricLDaugh
WOW…I actually did not know this about Gavin Newsom. His erratic mannerisms and habits make sense now. He had a massive drinking and outburst problem. So much so that when a reporter once asked him about it - he completely lost his composure. 👀
English
@SCMountainGoat Thank you for this reflection. That summer was so intense. Personally, in SC and the world. And hope you still enjoy the places you spent with your dad.
English
Tomorrow marks the five-year anniversary of the CZU fires in The Santa Cruz Mountains.
The summer of 2020 was the most difficult time in my entire life.
These fire started three weeks after my father died, and the lightning struck in the state park that my dad took my sister and I camping at, every summer, as a child.
The summer of 2020 changed who I am forever.

Trump: "You have a certain place in the Massachusetts area that over the last 20 years had 1 or 2 whales wash ashore. And over the last short period of time they had 18. Ok? Because it's driving them loco. No, windmills will not happen in the United States."

@beetleish I would assume so.

Want to know how truly insane the dating scene is in California?
If you’re a man, looking to meet a woman between the ages of 34 and 42, that isn’t liberal leaning, who didn’t take the Covid shot, that’s never been married and doesn’t have kids - good luck!
You’re looking at 0.0146% of the population.
You have less than a one percent chance of meeting someone that meets that criteria.
English
@SCMountainGoat Just out here in the 408 being super rare I guess 🤷♀️
English
Correction :
1.5% of the California population meets this criteria.

@CAgovernor Shut up idiot we’re done with your nonsense. Enough is enough
English
I have formally requested the Trump Administration rescind their unlawful deployment of troops in Los Angeles county and return them to my command.
We didn’t have a problem until Trump got involved. This is a serious breach of state sovereignty — inflaming tensions while pulling resources from where they’re actually needed.
Rescind the order. Return control to California.

@stormrobinson @CAgovernor And electric vehicles that rely on battery storage plants, notorious for burning and smoldering—totally “clean” for the communities and environments nearby!
English
@CAgovernor Clean transportation like the train to nowhere?
Climate adaptation like shutting down nuclear plants?
Forest management like do nothing and watch it burn?
English
California is partnering with 21 Brazilian state governors on solutions to protect the environment and cut harmful pollution.
We're establishing a formal communication channel to share successful approaches to clean transportation, climate adaptation, forest management & more.

@DOGE @DOGE_USDA @DOGE_SSA Look into federal employee pensions/retirement benefits and if they are appropriate rates, and how much social security paid by others goes toward that. In CA, calpers causes many cities budget problems and wonder if that’s at fed level too.
English
DOGE is looking for help from the general public!
Please DM insight for reducing waste, fraud, and abuse, along with any helpful insights or awesome ideas, to the relevant DOGE affiliates (found on the Affiliates tab). For example, @DOGE_USDA, @DOGE_SSA, etc.
We will add more affiliates over time.

@stanpefley @Bubblebathgirl It’s no secret he supports more battery storage and signed bill allowing even more “clean energy” projects to bypass local control. Projects like battery storage that are prone to toxic, hot, long burning fire, and offshore wind energy which will devastate on and offshore.
English
@Bubblebathgirl Newsom has nothing to do with this. Making such a connection is stupefying.

Moss Landing Battery Plant Fire: UPDATE
Monterey County Sheriff’s Commander Andres Rosas reports about 40% of the building has burned away.
This was one of the largest, if not the largest, battery factories in the world.
Commander Rosas says, “The best thing for these batteries are for them to burn completely.”
For this huge toxic fire to take place in California, at the same time Gavin Newsom is dealing with the Los Angeles wildfires, will certainly get people further questioning Newsom’s competence.
