@rawsalerts @grok what are the statistical chances that all these deaths and disappearances are merely coincidental?

@dbongino The people targeting Maddie concern me. He is more real than most any politician I have listened to. I am behind him.

Tom Massie is a grifter and a fraud who turned down a series of briefings on sensitive matters in order to rage post about them on X. He can’t deny these simple facts, he can only try to distract you. Massie is now bragging about an army of bots and his “ratios.” He’s a buffoon.
Massie is a stain on this country and an embarrassment to his constituents.
Thanks, and have a good morning. @RepThomasMassie

@amyforsandiego @lalovestrump @nickshirleyy @innoutburger You guys should expose the fraud at In-N-Out. Why are the patties so thin? How are they convincing everyone that it’s as good as 5 Guys? Something sketchy is going on.

When @nickshirleyy is in California, we handle priorities correctly.
Exposing fraud first. @innoutburger after. ✅

@nicksortor I heard the afterlife was having criminal problems so they needed Chuck.

America lost a true patriot today. An Air Force Vet who cared deeply about his country and inspired MILLIONS.
But heaven gained a legend.
RIP Chuck Norris 🙏🏻

Governor - Magnesium citrate is a saline laxative use before major surgery or a colonoscopy. It's available without a prescription, both as a generic and under various brand names.
We suggest you stop at Walgreens pick some up on the way home.
Because you are full of crap.
Governor Gavin Newsom@CAgovernor
Americans will pay $1.5 BILLION MORE at the gas pump just this week because of Donald Trump's war with Iran. California will continue using the tools we've spent years developing to help fight price spikes and lessen the blow from Trump's recklessness.

@grok @EricLDaugh what is the estimated loss in tax revenue from these companies' departures?
English
Since Newsom became governor in 2019, estimates of HQ relocations or major operational shifts out of CA range 200-500: Buildremote tracks 196 HQ moves 2020-Aug 2025 (incl. 17 firms >10k employees); broader trackers cite ~500 2020-2025 or Hoover's 352 for 2018-2021.
Notable large ones: Tesla, Chevron, Oracle, HPE, Charles Schwab, SpaceX, X, McKesson, Palantir, AECOM (~14-20 high-profile).
PPIC (to 2021, updated 2025): net ~789 HQ lost 2011-2021 (1.9% of total, upward trend; larger firms more likely to leave), but far more new HQs opened/closed domestically.
For 2026: No firm projections, but analysts predict rise due to proposed billionaire tax & regs (e.g., "could be worse" per recent reports).

🚨 WOW! In a brutal loss for Gov. Gavin Newsom, Yamaha is PULLING OUT of California after nearly 50 years
The HQ will now be relocated to Georgia.
Gavin Newsom has failed California.

@Dwight_Bend @RepBaumgartner There is no more or less daylight! People really?
English
@RepBaumgartner You have to be a special kind of stupid to tweet this. You’ll have MORE daylight.
That’s not political or an opinion. Stone cold fact.
English
I hate daylight savings time changes. Particularly hard for kids playing evening sports in E. WA. I Would love to get this changed. 🇺🇸

@RealJamesWoods Sorta agree but there are a lot of honest hard working folks here now that I would like to see become citizens. I’ve worked with many and we need a way to keep the good ones!

Elon Musk in 2019 on LiDAR:
“They’re all going to dump LIDAR; that’s my prediction. I should point out that I don’t actually super hate LIDAR as much as it may sound. But at SpaceX, SpaceX Dragon uses LIDAR to navigate to the space station and dock. Not only that, SpaceX developed its own LIDAR from scratch to do that, and I spearheaded that effort personally.
Because in that scenario, LIDAR makes sense.
In cars, it’s freaking stupid. Once you solve Vision, it’s worthless.”

Tesla’s decision to focus on pure vision will go down as the most important strategic decision in their history, and it’s crazy that so few people have grasped that yet. Just go take a ride in both. The Tesla is smooth and human like. Once you’ve experienced it, you’ll start to notice how slow and jerky the Waymo is. The reason the Tesla drives better is because of the massive dataset enabled by computer vision sensors in every car. To the extent LIDAR is useful, you can always layer that on top of the pure vision system that is already safe enough to drive the car on its own. You’ll mop the floor with anyone who requires multiple sensor modalities and can’t drive if any of them go down. Waymo is giving millions of rides, but they’ve driven about 200 million miles. Tesla Self-Driving has been used for 8.5 billion miles, making it by far the most used self-driving software in the world. They’re also now operating without a driver in Austin. The goal isn’t millions, it’s trillions of miles traveled a year. Good luck getting there with a car that is 3x more expensive and has yet to turn a profit. Good luck scaling to South America, Asia, and Africa with a car that costs $75,000 and requires you to shoot out laser beams constantly. Less is more. Layer on whatever additional sensor modalities you want to the extent it improves anything, but people don’t realize how powerful it is to have a single end to end model that can drive more safely than a human even if all the sensors go out except the cameras. If the cameras go out you can’t drive the car anyway, even with LIDAR, because you need to be able to see traffic lights, signs, etc. Computer vision is both necessary and sufficient for fully autonomous driving. Adding anything extra as a requirement just holds back the technology from scaling and stopping many preventable deaths and injuries.

Gerrymandering is a plague on democracy, one that Gavin Newsom has brought back to California. But there’s a way we can fight back and protect our democracy from his partisan games: by removing partisanship from the equation. Today, I filed for reelection as “No Party Preference.”
This means I will not have a party affiliation on the ballot or as an officeholder. That’s how it already is with most offices in our state: mayors, city councilors, school board members, county supervisors, sheriffs, and DAs are all nonpartisan.
As an elected representative, I’ve always seen my role as being an independent voice for our community, holding politicians in Sacramento and Washington accountable to serve my constituents. I answer to you, not party leaders. That’s the kind of representation I believe the newly-drawn Sixth District deserves.
It is no secret I’ve been frustrated, at times disgusted, by the hyper-partisanship in Congress. In the last year it’s led to the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, a massive increase in healthcare costs, and of course, a pointless redistricting war. The epidemic of gerrymandering has spread from Texas to California to states all across the country. Both parties are complicit.
If there is one thing Americans agree on, it is that political division has become a serious problem for our country. We need to find ways for politics to bring us together as Americans rather than tear us apart as partisans. That means, for example, finding pragmatic solutions to make life more affordable rather than each side blaming the other for why it isn’t.
We are also living in a moment of dramatic transformation, where technological change could bring incredible opportunities along with unfamiliar risks and dislocations. The ordinary rituals of partisan politics are simply inadequate in these extraordinary times – are simply incapable of meeting this generational challenge. Our ability to work as one team, serving all Americans, is now more important than ever.

@KevinKileyCA It would be a double win! Kiley wins and we get Pan out!!

Good morning. This week I’ll be filing papers to run in California’s newly drawn 6th Congressional District.
It’s true that I was fully prepared to run in the new 5th, having tested the waters and with polls showing a favorable outlook in a “safe” district. But doing what’s easy and what’s right are often not the same. And at the end of the day, as much as I love the communities in the 5th District that I represent now – and as excited as I was about the new ones – seeking office in a district that doesn’t include my hometown didn’t feel right.
I was born, raised, and went to local public schools in Placer and Sacramento Counties, which I’ve always called home. They’ve been the core of my district during my time in elected office. That’s as it should be. It’s what representation is about. The evil of gerrymandering is that it slices up and tears apart communities in a way that erodes the fabric of representative government. That’s why I’ve opposed it everywhere – whether Texas or California, Indiana or Virginia. While we can’t now reverse the gerrymandering epidemic that has afflicted our country and scrambled our state’s map, I want to do what I can to make things better and not worse.
The new 6th District is Democratic-leaning but open-minded. While this will be a more challenging race, I believe we can build a winning coalition for common sense. Thanks to all for your encouragement and patience. The fight for California’s future has only just begun.

@JacobEdwardInc There is some truth to that . . . kids change everything.
English
Neither of these men are married or have kids.
Both are simply obsessed with their own personal perfection and optimization.
There is nothing impressive about a single man with no kids sleeping well and being fit.
Show me a man with young children, a full time job, disrupted sleep, who works out regularly, eats healthy, trains Jui Jitsu, with a muscular body…
THIS is impressive. THIS requires extreme discipline.

Chris Williamson just shared his "nuclear" sleep stack that's quietly changing his life—and Andrew Huberman breaks down exactly why it works: If you're lying in bed at 2 a.m. scrolling or staring at the ceiling, this 4-minute protocol combo might be the fastest way to shut your brain off without pills. The two killer techniques Williamson swears by: 1. The Mind Walk (visualization on steroids) - Imagine walking a route you know perfectly (your house → front door → street) - Do it with insane detail: feel the shoehorn, hear the key turn, feel the door handle, pressure of the pavement - It's like reading fiction for your nervous system—engages the brain just enough to stop problem-solving loops, but not enough to keep you awake 2. Resonance breathing with the Ohm stone lamp - Bedside lamp with induction-charging stone that has a built-in FDA-cleared HRV sensor - Hold the stone → 3/6/9/12-minute guided sessions with silent tactile vibration (no sound, no light, partner-safe) - Guides you into true resonance frequency (max vagal tone) → the stone knows when you hit it - Williamson calls it “the sickest” sleep tool he’s ever used—currently in stealth (ohmhealth, not widely available yet) Huberman adds the neuroscience: Looking down + eyelids lowering activates parasympathetic circuits and deactivates wakefulness-promoting brainstem nuclei. It’s literally pedaling the sleep pedal while shutting off the alertness arm. Williamson: “Some days you need the adventure story (mind walk), some days you need the physiological hammer (resonance breathing). Stack them and I’m cross-eyed into sleep.” Already trying one of these? Or is your nighttime routine still a war zone?

These democrats really believe the public is stupid or sadly enough of them are that they believe this theater. They all travel and have passports or RealID don’t they? What adult can’t keep track of the 4-5 important documents all adults manage? Birth certificates, life insurance, marriage & death certificates, etc . . . They are all in favor of ID to fly or drive. ID to buy alcohol. ID to purchase a firearm. Why so afraid of ID to vote? We all know the answer.
