It still boggles my mind that Democrats keep trotting out messaging that sounds more AI than ChatGPT instead of just saying stuff like "Donald Trump is stealing healthcare money from your grandma and using it to pay ICE to beat her up if she protests"

If you want to absolve yourself of all blame for the shutdown, I would this afternoon as minority leader announce I will no longer filibuster appropriations bills, then I will abolish the filibuster in power. This renders the filibuster meaningless today.

did you know the average American spends six hours a day on the internet, more time than they spend watching TV? somehow "the internet is just a thing weird nerds do" has persisted as a political assumption even as the internet has literally come to consume our waking lives

Indie director Barbara Marques has been kidnapped by ICE. She is legally married to a U.S. citizen & was at a green card mtg when she was abducted and prevented from seeing her lawyer. Her husband Tucker May does not know where she is. Please spread the word so he can find her /1

My biggest issue with independent coffee shops is that you see very few open before 7 am. Some of us have jobs we need to get to you know.

Some of these Starbucks closures are a long time coming. Why are there two Starbucks in Kettleman City? Off one exit in Yucaipa? THREE Starbucks off one exit in Barstow? Who decided a drive thru location to replace a Church's Chicken in Las Vegas was a good idea?

Has Al Franken now redeemed himself enough to join the James Carvilles of spamming Democratic donors?

Barstow, a town of 25,000 people, had FIVE Starbucks, of which two are closing on Saturday. But one of the ones closing was just sold with a 10 year, no cancellation lease. Make it make sense burrito boy. www.loopnet.com/Listing/2567...

Starbucks closes at least two dozen stores in the Los Angeles area www.abc10.com/article/news...

I refuse to believe one of Jeopardy‘s great champions hasnt heard of “National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius”

This was meant as an attack on me, but their assertion that people hear “racists who are spewing conspiracy theories that keep motivating white supremacists to massacre our fellow citizens” and think, “well, that must be Charlie Kirk” is quite an own goal. Anyway, good luck with the grift!

WOW. The lead plaintiff is a Latino man who's been here legally for 24 years. He was grabbed off the street by plainclothes federal agents who didn't even ASK about his status. He was detained overnight and only released once a supervisor realized he had been illegally arrested.

The federally mandated SCAG Public Participation Plan is currently out for review and this is a great opportunity to get SCAG, the nation's largest metropolitan planning organization, on Bluesky. scag.ca.gov/public-parti...

Glad I can actually catch a Stu Mundel police chase live now that he moved to daytime.

Bret Stephens thinks we forgot that he tried to get @davekarpf.bsky.social fired for making fun of him

“These ‘tough on crime’ dipshits are too inept to secure convictions” is actually not a bad Dem message, tactically

As I was saying…

Salinas is left with one news source as a local TV news department shuts down and instead will take news from San Francisco. The local newspaper has literally one reporter, and with a 60% Hispanic population there also is no mainstream Spanish news source. www.ksbw.com/article/kion...

Normies, both in the US and abroad, really do not understand how broken American journalism is. America doesn't know to be embarrassed, because 2/3rds of the country never hear about the daily barrage of embarrassing things he does.

Rural Republicans and fiscal conservatives have been the best friends to YIMBY in the California Legislature. The Dahles, James Gallagher, and John Moorlach. The cultural conservatives are just like suburban NIMBY Democrats.

This weekend, I visited the Pacific Railroad Society in San Dimas. In their vast archives, I found a 1928 Pacific Electric schedule book with every bus and rail line in the system. Rick here graciously let me photograph every single page so I could share it with you. Enjoy!

honestly its not even lazy. people's lives are busy. they have family and work to take care of. other than us political news junkies they simply dont have the time to sit there and study the news. so they must be force fed easily digestible nuggets of info. the gop thoroughly gets this. dems dont.

Well, here I am 3 weeks later with a bad case of COVID. Great job, RFK

When Democrats retake power, breaking up the large conglomerates that own local TV stations will need to be a top priority.

Wally George did a better job than Libs of TikTok on this youtu.be/NUQACDo8Ino?...

closing out a career of "oh brother, this guy stinks" moves by retiring so close to the season that the school has no choice but to internally promote your son whose only job has been as your assistant. you've gotta respect it (jk you don't have to respect it)

it would be political suicide to do it but like 60% of the developed world very badly needs a poltician willing to talk to them like adults and say “listen, you can let in Rahul to work and pay taxes, you can pay more taxes, or your pension can be cut. those are the options. you need to pick one.”

San Dimas has really decided it wants to be a $14 juice town

I had a crayon BART line from Coddingtown (Santa Rosa) to Los Gatos. That would be twice the distance but probably would take only a half hour longer than the A Line from Long Beach to Pomona.

Perfection.

Yeah man we should really fight back by staying on X

Justin Wilcox getting Cal to sleepwalk into defeat against the worst opponent on their schedule gotta be studied by science man I ain’t ever seen any other coach who does this every single year.

With the 8 pm start I don't think anyone in the Coliseum makes the last train back to Pomona (leaving Pico just after midnight, which would require getting to Expo Park/USC station on the E line at 11:40).

Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele is showing us that he is still a freshman. SDSU had the preparation that Oregon State didn't have. But this is a disappointing game for the Cal Bears.

The opposite is true in California with Republican vote share and any measure to make it easier to pass or raise taxes.

Looks like the JKS hype train may be coming to a screeching halt in 30 minutes if the Bears can’t get it together.

people who talk about going to No Kings protests in terms of how to avoid getting kettled or black-bagged are Blue Sky’s version of men who talk about how they won’t go to a large city without a handgun and seventeen personal defense items

Wayne Randazzo is Temu Bob Costas

The commercial free Apple TV games at least let you see what is going on between innings

Five cops were shot in Pennsylvania yesterday. Three died. Haven't heard a thing about if from the "back the blue" team that was so upset about last week's school shooting. Maybe it's because the shooter looked like this.

What’s happening here is that somebody is trying to build some homes and a council member is turning it into some creepy sexualized true crime podcast episode

This has got to be the most unique reason I have seen an apartment project get appealed - local city councilwoman is concerned that a four story building next to a school will "impact[] their comfort and ability to enjoy their play." pomona.legistar.com/LegislationD...

That is a cursed map, and also the choices for landmarks for San Dimas and Glendora are odd to say the least.

⚠️This is the Jimmy Kimmel monologue that got his show pulled. Not hate. Not celebration of death. Just the truth: Republicans rushed to blame the left before any facts about the shooter or motive were known. Keep sharing it. Spread the truth.

lol. Nothing matters.

THE PEOPLE SIGNING YOU UP FOR PROTESTS AND ORGANIZING AREN'T "FASCISTS" Being afraid to give your information to your allies because of the remote chance you'll get a knock on the door as they go down the list of all 3 million sign-ups indicates you do not have the constitution for resistance

Yeah, if you're feeling that level of despair, do yourself and everyone else a favor and log off. I'm going to start blocking the doomers outright.

No one has been more vindicated than normie resistance Dems, women’s marchers and never-Trump Republicans. They were right all along about the threat. The anti-anti-Trump Republicans and reactionary centrists, and the far left “it’s always been this bad” folks have been proved wrong over and over.

i think that if the FCC threatened to revoke ABC’s license unless it replaced Jimmy Kimmel with Kevin Hart to diversify the network, Ilya Shapiro would be able to identify the issue here
