California passed a law to curb spikes in gas prices. Why isn't it using those powers now?
Iran war spikes gas prices, putting spotlight on California's refinery profit-cap rules and the state's shrinking fuel supply options.

Disgusting heartwrenching cruelty... ICE !!
Before and after in #Paris, surface gas station in front of a residential building, converted into green space.
Imagine if your city did urban transformations like this. The 18th arrondissement of Paris, before and after, 2020 to 2024. Think about how that neighbourhood would feel after this change. How YOUR neighbourhood would feel.
It can happen. Just takes vision & leadership.

SCOOP — Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.
My report:
W/n last 48 hrs 4 families received notifications that forever changed their lives. 2 more will shortly; their unit is still very much in the fight. It is impractical to expect protection everywhere, but we should expect leaders to talk about the gravity of these losses with sincerity and reverence.
OMFG! 🙄🤷♂️🥸🤬
🚨 ISRAEL ARRESTS CNN JOURNALIST
A CNN correspondent was ARRESTED for reporting on the conflict, the live feed was disconnected and shut down.
Israel is terrified of you finding out how bad they’re being pummelled.
Surprised he hasn’t turned into a pretzel at this point

Grilled by Sen. Elizabeth Warren, the Pentagon’s third-ranking official denied that the US attack on Iran conflicts with the Trump administration’s stated National Security Strategy.
I made this monster of a chart to show the partisan split of the early/abs vote in the TX primary by age/race/gender.
You can see why Republicans must be worried about what they're seeing in the turnout data.
Put a little spreadsheet together. This is Talarico margin vs Hegar margin in 2020. Tracking pretty close on average but lots of variance (small counties). If you weight counties by number of votes expected, Talarico is running about 3 points ahead of Hagar.

Looks like Democrats are out-voting Republicans in both the TX and NC Senate primaries
"Trump is clearly law breaking right now and being allowed to, which is really frightening. He’s operating like a king."

Surprise! The Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post is against my 5% billionaire wealth tax. I wonder why?
If enacted, Bezos would owe $12 billion in taxes, and an average family of 4 would receive a $12,000 direct payment.
Poor Jeff would be left with just $224 billion to survive.
this isn’t half bad honestly. credit to Krug for moving with the times youtu.be/55pkD1lBeHM?...
did a little back of the envelope math for how much all this shit is costing. on the order of $1-2 billion per day just in direct spending, maybe 10 times that much in indirect effects
Man I'm gonna need every Democrat to be at least as spiteful to this administration as fuckin Tillis.

they didn’t do it with CA, but are now toying with the idea that the constitution means “Republicans get to gerrymander but Democrats can’t”
Anyone who calls out antisemitism has my full support. Anyone who specifically supports the thoroughly awful Netanyahu and his somehow even worse extremist cabinet though, has my full confusion, and that’s being polite.
These Democrats are voting for Trump's agenda while going on TV to insist they actually oppose it.
We need to believe their actions, not their words.
from federalregister.gov Matters to be Considered: The agenda will include updates on ACIP Workgroups and discussions on COVID-19 vaccine injuries and Long-COVID and ACIP recommendation methodology. Recommendation votes may be scheduled for COVID-19 vaccine injuries and Long-COVID and ACIP recommendation methodology. Agenda items are subject to change as priorities dictate. For more information on the meeting agenda, visit https://www.cdc.gov/acip/meetings/index.html.
The agenda from the upcoming ACIP meeting is focused on COVID vaccines and Long COVID and while I'm sure it will be a clown show I'm sorta relieved that they won't be discussing a further dismantling of the childhood vaccine schedule.
The briefing was the latest example of Trump’s insistence that a nonpartisan institution should function in his interest. He demands similar loyalty from the DOJ, whose HQ now features a large banner of him, & the Fed, whose chair has been a target of Trump’s for refusing to cut interest rates.
