We're No. 1 in poverty, unemployment, housing shortage, homelessness, income disparity and living costs. We're near the bottom in academic test scores, have not had a balanced budget in at least a decade and our tax burden is one of the highest. Those are simple, provable facts
I hate ALL Cal Media...not just Dan. The California derangement syndrome is fuckin insane. This state overperforms in every category yet the media thinks its sole fuckin mission to focus where we are NOT perfect. Fuck that. No state is better than California. NOT 1.

Breaking News: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez transferred $1 million to Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, a progressive running for Senate in Michigan. The transfer represents a huge sum for a House member to give to a Senate race, especially one in a different state. nyti.ms/4zzoswn

Hurricane Isaias will make landfall on the Gulf Coast Friday night. Sunday morning, Simon is then forecast to hit Mexico south of Puerto Vallarta as a Category 4, while Tropical Storm Rachel is forecast to cross into the Southern California desert. An extraordinary setup.

Update: There’s still huge spread in where Rachel is forecast to landfall this weekend, from northern Baja as far north as LA County. That track will determine how severe the impacts are across Southern California: heavy rain, coastal flooding, wind, and dangerous surf, or little to no rain at all.
Hurricane Rachel could bring significant impacts to SoCal Sunday into Monday, including coastal flooding from high tides and surf, potentially heavy rain and gusty winds as it transitions into a post-tropical storm. This is a highly unpredictable forecast, so expect changes.
