@Chris_Mench 🤣

Do LA people just not care about municipal governance at all? The idea that Karen Bass could be re-elected is baffling to me she’s so bad at her job I almost feel like she’s a republican sleeper agent to make democrats look terrible lol.

Meanwhile, here in the real world, Californians PAY DOUBLE the USA average for electricity! Only Hawaii is more expensive, and it's a dispersed, remote, volcanic island chain in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

@CAgovernor @JenSiebelNewsom This is like an arsonist announcing firefighting classes.

Starting in the 2027-28 school year, California will offer a new personal finance course to high schoolers and require it for graduation beginning with the 2031 class. Every Californian should leave high school with the tools to manage money, avoid debt, and build wealth.

Wait, @CAgovernor has his facts wrong? That happens when you can’t keep track of all your lies.

Transparent California shows over 1,000 government employees on the dole with the word "homeless" in their title. The top guy earned over half a million dollars as a "Homeless Services Division Manager." And this doesn't even begin to touch the billions we hand out to non-profits and NGOs whose sole purpose is to perpetuate homelessness by treating the problem rather than solving the problem. (Willie Brown's words). So much wasted money on a problem that has only gotten worse and worse under @GavinNewsom as he has thrown so much more and more and more money at it. So much anti-social behavior caused by drugs. What a failure. By the way, I thought we weren't allowed to use the word "homeless" any more. I thought everybody had to be called "unhoused" now. How come there are so many people getting paid $$$ with the word "homeless" in their title working for the state of California?

This is unbelievable. @CAgovernor is dropping a mind-blowing $1.2+ billion on a new office for himself and California lawmakers. Dude even shipped granite to Italy to be finished into bricks. But get a load of THIS! The worst part is that everyone involved has been forced to sign NDAs to keep the details secret from taxpayers. REPOST this EVERYWHERE! #thinblueline #lawenforcement

@TVietor08 I guess the upside is that it wasn’t delivered on pallets like your boss did.

These fucking morons are allowing Iran to get $14 billion in the middle of a war against them. This is the biggest, dumbest concession ever given to Iran by the US and all you need to know about what a disaster Trump’s policy is.

@calpostbbolch Actually doing it would be legendary, Ben. And you might even make the tail end of Spring football.

If Tyler Bilodeau doesn't play tonight, I will walk back to L.A. from Philly.

Chuck Schumer and other Democrats have insisted that they actually support Voter ID—they just object to other parts of the SAVE America Act. Well, @SenJonHusted just asked unanimous consent to pass ONLY the Voter ID portion of the bill. Democrats blocked it.

@IAPolls2022 This isn’t hard

@AOC Hey, you DO have brain cells! 👍

This is sad. I know as a politician these companies are going to spend a billion dollars against me for saying it but 🤷🏽‍♀️ Pervasive gambling is not good for society. It turns life into a casino, traps people in addiction & debt, surges domestic violence, and fosters manipulation.

@JonnyRoot_ How soon everyone forgets Angel Hernandez

The first female home plate umpire in MLB history, Jen Pawol, made the worst call you’ll ever seen in a game… After it was challenged by the catcher, the ABS system showed just how awful it was 😬

@kenmartin73 x.com/abc/status/203…

You’re seeing these incredibly long airport security lines because Senate Republicans have blocked Democratic bills to fully fund TSA seven times in the last two weeks.

@ChrisMurphyCT x.com/abc/status/203…

This is the only thing you need to know. Democrats want to open TSA. Republicans are refusing because they want to attach ICE funding. That’s why there are long lines. ICE.

California is expensive! In the past year+, CA has outpaced the nation in inflation in every category except education (barely), according to LAO in Feb. Those gas prices tho.

@GovPressOffice You’re spinning the truth again, nitwit. Can we go a day without you lying? (We already know the answer to that is no) The bill didn’t authorize tens of millions of taxpayer money to this project.

FACT: Senator Brian Jones voted FOR the bill to prioritize wildlife crossings — AB 2344 (2022)

@CBSNews @CHueyBurns Are you proud of this, @CBSNews? Your reporter sat there like a statue. No follow-up, no push back. Nothing.

As the ongoing DHS shutdown leads to chaos at airports nationwide, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) was asked by CBS News’ @CHueyBurns what his message is to TSA officers who are working without paychecks amid the impasse among lawmakers.

@PattyMurray Congrats on winning most ridiculous tweet of the day … though I haven’t checked @CAgovernor yet, and he and his 10-year-old press officer have a looong winning streak.

The average person is more likely to be struck by lightning than they are to commit voter fraud. Seriously. That's a real stat. I'm voting NO on the SAVE America Act.

@MikeLevin Almost sounds like the type of insider trading your buddy @SpeakerPelosi spearheads.

It appears that a Polymarket account called "Magamyman" made $515,000 in a single day betting on last night's U.S. strike on Iran, with the first trade placed 71 minutes before the news broke publicly. When this person bought in, the market had this at a 17% probability. They turned roughly $87,000 into over half a million dollars overnight. Reminder that Donald Trump Jr. sits on Polymarket's advisory board and his firm invested double-digit millions into the platform last year. The DOJ and CFTC both had active investigations into Polymarket that were dropped after Trump took office. Prediction markets cannot be a vehicle for profiting off advance knowledge of military action. We need answers, transparency, and oversight.

@Cyber_Trailer My favorite part of this is that the administration that supposedly cares about the poor and wants more low-income housing is trashing low-income housing on a sinkhole of a project that should never have started and will never be completed. But that’s @CAgovernor ‘s “leadership.”

Since my account is somewhat anonymous I’m going to disclose where some of the California high-speed rail money gets wasted. 99% of you don’t realize where giant chunks of the money is disappearing to. The California high-speed rail authority, literally owns thousands of parcels of land that are in various stages continued litigation, tenant improvements, eviction, and constant maintenance. For example, there are many homes and apartment complexes in the plant path that have been purchased years ahead of construction. Removing those tenants is a slow and expensive process. (let’s ignore the extra stress on housing that all of these destroyed properties are causing) In some cases, these are low rent apartments with a lengthy eviction process During that process, the state of California is the landlord and has to maintain the property codes the same as any other landlord. This means repairs, adding smoke detectors, fixing roofs, vegetation management, landscaping, paying off tenants to leave early, boarding up Windows, constant trash cleanups, towing vehicles etc. But the High Speed Rail Authority doesn’t just have to maintain these properties at normal cost. Every single bit of that work has to be done at California prevailing wage rates. The work can only be done through qualified contractors that have passed through a long series of idiotic mazes to qualify to perform the work. An average rate per hour (charge rate) for a worker to perform any service on these properties is approximately $200 an hour for labor only. The cost go up for specialized work, like electricians, plumbers, or machine operators. Properties that are literally worthless are being maintained at huge expense just so the next round of homeless transients can break into the property and cause more damage. For reasons I can’t explain, the process to finally demo and remove the structures takes years. I’m only mentioning the tip of the iceberg regarding my firsthand knowledge. Completely separate from those outlandish costs are the inflation caused by the construction. The prevailing word on the street is that nothing is getting done. The truth is that a lot is getting done and none of it efficiently. The amount of concrete being poured daily and monthly to build gigantic overpasses for both the rail and roadways is not understood. In these work areas, every concrete mixing company is fully scheduled out and cannot offer building materials for other basic services such as building a house often times for weeks when the average lead time for many of these services used to be one day. And that’s just the schedule, never mind the huge cost increases from straining the supply chain and Labor pool. The amount of concrete and steel that has gone into the structures so far is massive. Dozens and dozens of new water wells have been dug just for dust control. Thousands upon thousands of acres of highly productive tree fruits and nuts have been torn up and shredded. Utility scale solar fields have been uprooted and sometimes relocated at extravagant costs. Every type of business you can imagine has gone through either a closure, relocation, or a long-term tenant agreement with the rail authority. In some cases, it’s just a buyout where the business closes its doors forever. The owners get something all of the workers get nothing. Don’t get me started on how thick the layers of bureaucracy are for these minute tasks that occur on all of these properties. The inefficiency is far beyond your wildest dreams. In many cases, this is not related to fraud in any way it’s just absolute ignorance, red tape, and failed leadership. I can go much deeper into specific examples, but I think that gives some of you an idea of what’s actually happening in California. If a rail is ever usable, some portions of the structures will be decades old and already in disrepair.
