In the summer of 2025, a staff member for Mary Peltola, the Alaska Democrat who was eyeing a run for Senate, received unusual instructions from top campaign aides: Find as many people named Dan Sullivan in Alaska as you can. gvwire.com/2026/10/28/inside…

High-speed rail: promised at $33 billion. Now it’s $231 billion. 
Sacramento’s new political palace: promised at $543 million. Now it’s $1.2 billion. That’s not a budget. That’s a blank check. My standard is simple. If a project costs double what you promised, you have a problem. This November, send solution-oriented people to Sacramento and bring sanity back. Stay informed. Stay involved. Share. Save California.

Voting the same way for 16 years is how we got the highest cost of living in America. We DON'T have to live like this! Embrace a different attitude, California. JUST TRY IT.

🚨 NEW POLL: Hilton within 6 POINTS of Becerra! After the CNN debate, the gap is the smallest it's been since the primary. They said the governor's race was "over." We're about to prove them wrong. 29 days to go. We can WIN this!

😂😂😂 it's literally just water pouring off a roof. Try selling your global warming hoax somewhere else.
Crazy footage out of Mexico. It’s simple physics: a warming planet means a warmer atmosphere, and warm air holds way more moisture (about 7% more per 1°C). When it rains now, it absolutely pours because the sky is holding so much extra water. This is what climate change looks like.

“Measure S doesn’t prioritize essential infrastructure. It doesn’t fix roads as are needed. It will create more traffic and congestion and will make Fresno County a more dangerous place to travel,” Bredefeld said.

A formal opposition group to Measure S said Fresno County’s proposed 30-year, half-cent, sales tax devotes too much to public transit. Story: gvwire.com/2026/09/22/no-on-…

On Labor Day a man, Andrew Wimsatt, was viciously murdered in an Austin Park - in an attempted beheading. This creep didn't give two shits about it.
I’m demanding answers from DHS and ICE about today's shooting in Austin. They must preserve every piece of evidence, release the body cam footage, suspend the agent, and brief Congress. ICE has lied before. We deserve the truth.

OPINION | As the legal battle over whether the half-cent Measure S transportation tax lands on the November ballot or is delayed until 2028 heads toward a conclusion, an important fact has been largely overlooked. gvwire.com/2026/08/28/road-t…

Talk about hitting a home run Benny Johnson‼️ WOW❤️
🚨 MUST WATCH: @BennyJohnson says NEWSOM is RUNNING FOR PRIME MINISTER... OF CANADA 🤔 "The Canadian economy is in total and complete freefall. Just like California." "They have an infrastructure crisis that is crumbling, a housing crisis, just like California." "They also have a legal and illegal immigration crisis, just like California." "Gavin's gonna be right at HOME." 🤣

Do you agree that 84 year-old Lesley Stahl is now one of the most distrusted & disliked media personalities in America, and that she represents everything that went wrong with biased, corrupt, fake news.

🚨BREAKING: The woman who falsely accused President Trump of raping her at 13 with the assistance of Jeffrey Epstein is now facing criminal charges for fraud, theft, and the exploitation of an elderly person.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The woman now facing charges for fraud theft and exploitation of an elderly person is not the same as Katie Johnson from the 2016 lawsuit accusing Trump and Epstein of raping her at 13. They are different people with separate accusations years apart. snopes.com/news/2026/03/1… theguardian.com/us-news/2026/f…

You won’t believe Sacramento’s latest “climate” scheme. 10,000 “floating windmills” off the coast…as tall as the Eiffel Tower! This obsession with wind and solar is not climate policy; it’s climate POSTURING. It has ZERO impact on the environment, only on your electric bills!
