The @latimes hacks fawn all over Becerra. Meantime, a @californiapost editor says that Becerra was “a total disaster” in tonight’s debate.
Which is it? Well, if you’re familiar with the “journalists,” their opinion was decided long ago.
Unbiased reporting is dead. And that’s sad.

No dog in the fight but the @RamsNFL got jobbed on that pass interference call.

Roki Sasaki looks like he could catch a basketball with that glove. Huge!

Wow, is @TarikSkubal a competitor. Nothing on the line in this Giants-@Dodgers game, but he’s on 🔥
I’m guessing he didn’t like the way he threw against the same team last time.

Love this story. Hope it’s true.
DJ Moore went to lunch at ZJ's Family Restaurant in Hamburg, New York.
It is a family diner. Not a place with a velvet rope. Booths, a counter, regulars.
Somebody in there recognized him, and quietly paid for his meal. They never told him who they were. They just did it and let the server deliver the news.
So Moore pulled out cash and handed it to his server, a woman named Carol Poules.
"This is for everyone's meal that's sitting here, and the rest is for you."
Six or seven tables. Plus everybody sitting at the counter. A couple hundred dollars, and then a tip on top of that for Carol.
Her words.
"It was so exciting, it was a pinch-me moment. Very cool. He just seems like a good, genuine person."
One of the people who got a free lunch out of it was a woman named Carol Conklin.
"Nothing's ever happened like that to us before where someone will buy your lunch."
On his way out, the room called out Go Bills. He said it right back.
Here is the part that makes it land a little harder.
DJ Moore has been a Buffalo Bill for about six months.
He did not grow up there. He did not pick it. Carolina drafted him in the first round in 2018, then traded him to Chicago in 2023. Chicago traded him to Buffalo on March 11 of this year for a second round pick.
Eight seasons, more than 8,000 receiving yards, three teams. He has spent his career being moved around by people who make those decisions in rooms he is not in.
And then he walked into a diner in a town of 60,000 people, in a city he got assigned to, and a stranger who had nothing to gain from it bought him a sandwich and disappeared.
So he bought the room.
Buffalo does this. This is the city where fans sent hundreds of thousands of dollars to Andy Dalton's charity because of one throw, and where they gave more than a million dollars to a children's hospital in Josh Allen's grandmother's name after she died.
It goes the other direction too, apparently.
A guy who has been traded twice paid for six tables of strangers because one of them was nice to him first.

California has built a second welfare system for people who broke the law to get here. And you're paying for it.
City Journal just sent reporters into four welfare offices in Southern California. They asked if someone here illegally could sign up for benefits. Every office said yes. Cash assistance. Health care. Tax credits. Car insurance. Even free phones.
At least $11 billion last year. Medi-Cal alone runs about $10 billion a year, more than double what Sacramento promised. And they're expanding food benefits again next year.
Federal law says you can't use federal money for this. So the state just built workarounds and handed you the bill.
Meanwhile my own homeowners insurance doubled. Families in El Cajon are working two jobs to make rent. Seniors are choosing between groceries and prescriptions. Nobody in Sacramento is building them a shadow program.
And when nobody checks where the money goes, this is what you get. Last week the feds charged 12 people in San Diego County with stealing more than $10 million from childcare subsidies. Ghost daycares. No kids. Just invoices. That's what happens when government hands out money and never asks a single question.
This is exactly why El Cajon sued the state over SB 54. Sacramento keeps writing laws that tie the hands of local cities and then sends us the tab.
I'm not going to pretend this is normal. It isn't. Take care of the people who live here legally and pay the bills. Every dollar should be checked. And our leaders in Sacramento should have to answer for why that's apparently too much to ask.
EXCLUSIVE: California has created a shadow welfare system for illegal aliens. Free housing, cash, healthcare, food, phones, college tuition, even car insurance—costing taxpayers more than $10 billion per year.
We went inside the system and exposed it all.

California families: “We’re drowning at $6.17 a gallon.”
California Republicans: “Got it.” They dropped two bills to suspend the state gas tax and give people immediate relief at the pump.
California Democrats and @GavinNewsom: “Nah. Not happening.”
And y’all think DEMOCRATS will lower gas prices!? 🤣🤣

Back to back examples of questionable decisions by @Dodgers 3B coach Dino Ebel:
1) Sends starting OF Tucker, who would have been out at the plate if catcher catches the ball.
2) Gets starter Edman hosed at the plate on another play where there is contact.
Playoffs in a week!

This is your sign to stop voting Democrat
Keep in mind, DMV vehicle registration renewal fees like this are billed every year. There is no limit to how much California Democrats will steal from you
This should be illegal

Karen Bass suddenly stepped down from LAHSA a few days ago. Today, HUD Secretary Turner just revealed that $75M of fraud was laundered through LAHSA.
Probably nothing!

Where’s the no kings people ? He hates us so much he will steal our money and call it Democracy.
Gavin Newsome: "We will tax Californians 100% if you take any funds from Trump"
So, you're going to punish your own people because you don't like President Trump... and you're a "man of the people?"

🚨 UNREAL: Mia Bonta, the wife of CA AG Rob Bonta (D), collected a $160K salary from a nonprofit filing fraudulent IRS forms with no valid tax-exempt status.
Rob Bonta funneled $517,500 in behested payments to nonprofits that employed her. That’s BLATANT fraud, and the Bontas should both be held accountable!

California is a test for America.
If we allow obviously corrupt and incompetent people to be reelected again and again—cementing a one-party state—what does that say?
Because if politicians can lie this brazenly, steal this much money, collapse our cities into third world squalor and ruin the greatest places on planet Earth—and still get reelected—they can get away with it ANYWHERE.
Everyone in America should not just be paying attention to what happens here, you should be HELPING defeat this evil.
