SCOOP: California has spent $49 million on a program that gives free solar panels to illegal aliens. The state claims that its "farmworker weatherization" initiative fights climate change—but we traced the funds and found signals of waste and corruption. city-journal.org/article/califo…

@libsoftiktok @RonColeman 🙏

@christopherrufo @RonColeman Amazing work, Chris 👏

EXCLUSIVE: Earlier this month, we reported that California prison inmates were using state-issued iPads to watch porn, have explicit video chats, and groom minors on the outside. Now, the House Oversight Committee is demanding documents from Gavin Newsom. This is a scandal.

California inmates are reportedly using state-issued tablets to sexually exploit women and even minors from behind bars. Governor Gavin Newsom needs to provide @GOPoversight ALL information related to this tablet program. Taxpayers should NEVER support a program like this.👇

SCOOP: We followed the money of California's $49M "farmworker weatherization" program, which provides free solar panels to illegal aliens, and discovered that one man is connected to every step in the contracting process, from the grantmakers to his private construction firm.

@MRellew They spent $49 million to provide solar services to fewer than 2,000 households

@christopherrufo How much money was actually spent on solar panels etc? I would guess less than ten percent

California is spending millions of dollars sending contractors into the farm fields, trying to persuade undocumented migrants to sign up for free solar panels—all funded by taxpayers.

@0megalvl3vent It's all a scam, lining the pockets of the politically connected under the guise of "fighting climate change"

@christopherrufo The more we find out about these programs, the more we find out inclusivity and altruism was nothing but grift, I mean, how else could they get people to do such stupid things? People are stupid, not completely retarded.

@RoxanneHoge @busybirdie10 Free solar panels to undocumented farmworkers is peak California governance

@christopherrufo @busybirdie10 Who could read the words "farmworker weatherization" and think anything but corruption.

Leftist governance is just MadLibs at this point, and you just plug in who gets money for what nonsense.

Yes, exactly. When an old GOP voter starts listening to Joe Rogan and Theo Von for political wisdom, it’s because he’s suffered a severe brain injury. The rest of their audience voted for Obama twice, is new to politics, knows zero history, and is easily propagandized. From @christopherrufo today.

George Floyd's death was the pretext for a political revolution––supported up and down the left, from their radical fringes to the "respectable" centrists of the Democrat Party–– and whose BLM-inspired ideology of racial tyranny still dominates mainstream institutions to this day. That pretext was lie. Their revolution is a blight on all of American Life. It must be extracted from its roots and its idols burned to the ground. It starts by telling the truth about what happened to George Floyd and exonerating Derek Chauvin.

Today we are proud to announce the release of American Scapegoat: How a Corrupt Justice System Sacrificed Derek Chauvin to the Mob by former federal prosecutor T.J. Harker (@TJ_Harker). Six years ago today, George Floyd died while in custody of Minneapolis beat cop Derek Chauvin, sparking the most destructive riots in our nation's history and becoming the pretext for an era of mass political hysteria that threatened to rip apart the very fabric of American life. Cities burned. Floyd's body was paraded around in a gold casket. Every institution was made to bend the knee to BLM. Ordinary white Americans, represented by the person of Derek Chauvin, were called to account for three centuries of racial grievance. All most Americans saw of that day was the grainy cellphone footage of Officer Chauvin's knee restraining the back of George Floyd's neck. Few bothered to learn any other details about the case, and by the time the trial rolled around, the verdict was a foregone conclusion. An innocent black man had been killed by a racist white cop, they were told. And for America to atone for its original sins, that racist white cop had to pay the price. What they didn't know was that Chauvin's knee did not prevent Floyd from breathing. They didn't know Chauvin was following procedure by the book. They didn't know Floyd had taken lethal amounts of fentanyl minutes before being restrained. They didn't know Floyd had a pre-existing heart condition. They didn't know the autopsy report had been revised under threat of professional harm. They didn't know the original prosecutor removed herself from the case after seeing all of the evidence. They didn't know the subsequent prosecutors had to abandon their theory of the case just days into the trial. They didn't know the prosecution never established a cause of death, let alone that Derek Chauvin was responsible. In American Scapegoat, author T.J. Harker breaks down what happened on that fateful day six years ago, analyzes the thousands of court documents manipulated and recontextualized to achieve the trial result Minnesota politicians demanded, and relives the trial itself in thorough, painstaking detail to definitively show that Derek Chauvin did not kill George Floyd. Never in modern American history has our justice system been so corrupted by public mass hysteria than in the case of Derek Chauvin. This is the story of that trial. This is the story of how a man was sacrificed to the mob. American Scapegoat is available for pre-order now. Coming Fall '26.

"Trump is still the big dog. He can knock out members of his own party seemingly with ease. His megaphone in these races still matters." @christopherrufo and @L0m3z discuss Thomas Massie's primary loss and the influence President Trump still exerts on the Republican Party:

The University of Alabama scrubbed the "Path Forward Diversity Report" from its website, but archived webpages show just how extensive it was—and how President Bell directly supported it. "I look forward to the work of this committee," he said. Take a look at that work 🧵🧵🧵

We need bold leaders to reorient higher education toward merit, truth-seeking, and academic rigor. Florida has led the fight to get discriminatory DEI out of our schools and universities. UF deserves a president who will continue to drive those reforms.

NEW: Portland plans to spend nearly $300 million on explicitly race-conscious programs over the next year— including a program that aims to house minority veterans "at rates equal to or greater than their white peers." We reviewed Multnomah County's entire budget. 🧵
