For those dismissing the possibility of fraud in CA vote, please remember that key protections we're told are built into the law turn out to be vaporous in practice: --'You need to sign it' .... A mark or slash will do. --'We check those signatures.' ... LA election workers told @jenlynncallahan they don't. x.com/jenlynncallahan/status… --'Must be postmarked by Election Day' ... No! Fine print in regs lets voters self-date. x.com/Susan_Shelley/status/2… --'Ballot "harvesters" must sign the ballot envelope!' ... But the ballot's still counted if they don't. All this doesn't mean there was fraud. Still ...

The CA Legislature tried to strike these words from the state constitution in 2020 (put there by Prop 209 in 1996). The voters smacked them down when 57.23% said NO—despite the YES campaign outspending the NO team by more than 14 to 1. Now they’re trying again—calling it a “clarification” instead of an effort to gut the provision’s application to public education. Don’t believe them. If approved by the voters, this would be a major change. The aim is to pave the way for the recommendations of California’s Task Force on Reparations. The Task Force wants to make college free to African Americans no matter how well off their parents are and to get school districts to fund individual schools based on the race of the students who attend. @christopherrufo

A homeowner has been getting a stranger's ballots at his house for nine years, so he finally named his feral cat, Vicki Walker, after her. That is right, a cat has more election integrity than the bureaucrats in Sacramento. Meanwhile, they are dragging their feet on the vote count until July 10th. This is not just government incompetence; it is an absolute insult to every hardworking taxpayer. We are going to fight and clean this mess up.

imagine living in LA right now. it must feel helpless. SF was bad. but we forced change. school board recall in 2022, chesa recall, lurie as mayor. now it feels like a different city.

California's Election System Is a Disgrace. As the Los Angeles mayoral race shows, the Golden State must deal with serious systemic defects. nationalreview.com/2026/06/c…

Maybe it’s just me, but it seems like all these DSA socialists are anti American dirtbags.

Spencer Pratt just dropped this post. The cheat in CA is happening. No state needs weeks to count votes, they need weeks to manufacture votes.

These same people vote for @TheDemocrats year after year after year expecting different results so sorry Seattle deserve what they get! The fact that they elected an Ignorant Dead Beat Socialist for Mayor tells you all you need to know.

Really, all you have to know about elections in California is that when voters in the city of Huntington Beach passed a charter amendment to enable the city to require voter ID in local elections, the state sued to block it and then passed a state law prohibiting voter ID.

Jamestown think tank: Russia is increasingly resembling the former Soviet Union in 1990–1991, with a perfect storm of domestic and external factors coming together, mirroring military defeats in Afghanistan in 1989 and Ukraine now. Elites are increasingly voicing dissent, protest feelings are spreading to the broader public, and once loyal Russian nationalists and military bloggers are becoming critical. These trends are combined with disillusionment over the lack of progress on the battlefield, very high casualties, exhaustion with what was to have been a quick “special military operation” that has lasted longer than the Great Patriotic War, and Ukraine’s successful deepening of the war into Russia.

I hope you'll highlight the fact that SEIU 721 donated $500k to "Yes on ER" and that LA election workers belong to that local. Serious conflict of interest.

California Is Blocking a Federal Audit of Its Voter Rolls California allows first-time voters to register using forms of ID that most Americans would find surprising, including: -Gym membership card -Employer ID card -Credit or debit card -Prescription drug label -Insurance card (California provides free health coverage to undocumented immigrants) Full list: sos.ca.gov/elections/hava-id… This is permitted when a voter fails to provide a Social Security number or driver’s license at registration. Our office believes this policy deserves a closer look. We also have serious concerns about how California maintains its voter rolls. There are open questions about whether the state is promptly removing deceased voters, people who have moved, and individuals convicted of disqualifying felonies. On top of that, California allows third parties to collect and turn in ballots on voters’ behalf (a practice known as ballot harvesting) with few restrictions. This makes it difficult to track who actually received, completed, and submitted each ballot. For over a year, the Department of Justice has been trying to audit California’s voter rolls. Federal law gives the Attorney General the authority to review state voter files and confirm that only eligible U.S. citizens are voting in federal elections. @AAGDhillon sent California a letter explaining our legal authority. California refused to comply, claiming state privacy laws block the review, an argument that does not hold up because those laws don’t apply to the federal government in this context. We’ve sued California in federal court, and the case is before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. If California genuinely wants voters to trust its elections, it should open its records, not fight to keep them closed. What are they afraid of?

In 1992, a 32-year-old historian became Prime Minister of Estonia. He had read exactly one book on economics: Milton Friedman's Free to Choose. He used it as a policy manual. Western advisors and Estonian economists told him it would fail. 🧵

"Once Upon A Time In Hollywood" indeed

Josh Barro on Platner: “Graham Platner doesn’t work for a living. As The New York Times reports, the bulk of his income comes from a military disability pension of approximately $60,000 a year. The pension doesn’t mean he’s too disabled to work — he is, after all, currently seeking the job of U.S. Senator — but his recent non-campaign endeavors seem more like hobbies than a career. He runs an oyster farm that principally sells oysters to his mother’s restaurant. He earned a small stipend as his town’s harbor master: $3,000 last year. He lives in a $205,000 house that he bought with a $200,000 loan from his father.” What a resume.
