🚨 California just voted to pass AB 2624 aka “The Stop Nick Shirley Act”:
This bill puts journalists at civil risk for investigating fraud and makes it harder to expose fraud in “immigration support services,” including NGOs, nonprofits and health care facilities that receive hundreds of millions from the state of California each year.
This bill would have made it criminal to expose fake hospices in LA or the Somali “learing center” in Minnesota if they then claim “reasonable fear” and the business owner gives a written demand not to post the video.
Plain and simple, California is trying to make it harder to expose fraud and scare individuals from investigating fraud in their communities, as they could be sued for an injunction to remove the video + forced to pay their attorney fees + minimum $4,000 in damages.
The Attorney General's wife, Mia Bonta, created this bill and is now trying to make it law. How is this not a conflict of interest?
California is full of FRAUDSTERS!
Harry Kane is 32 years old, married to his childhood sweetheart, has four children, runs his own mental health foundation, and donates regularly to armed forces and mental health charities. He doesn't drink, doesn't smoke, and has spent his entire career in the spotlight without a single scandal attached to his name.
On the pitch, the numbers are extraordinary. His country's all-time top scorer. His boyhood club's all-time top scorer. Six Golden Boots, four in the Premier League, one at a World Cup. Figures that the vast majority of strikers will never get close to.
And yet he remains one of the most written-off and underappreciated players of his generation. A man who has devoted everything to club and country, never once put a foot wrong off the pitch, and embodies every quality you could want from a professional footballer.
If you're looking for a role model, it doesn't get much cleaner than this. The fact it even needs pointing out says everything.
Congratulations to @CoachDustyMay, Elliot Cadeau, and @UMichBBall on winning their first title since 1989! This team dominated the tournament from start to finish. Well deserved. Go Blue!
The Pathways project should be immediately scrapped. It was contemplated in a radically different world than now, and seemingly the only entity on the planet that cares about a barrel's carbon profile is the Canadian Liberal Government. Ideology ➡️ unnecessary, uncompetitive cost
An Indian delegation led by Shri Piyush Goyal, Secretary, Ministry of Mines, along with senior officials, held discussions with a Canadian delegation led by H E B Mr. David Eby, Premier of British Columbia, and Mr. Christopher Cooter, High Commissioner of Canada to India, on 13.01.2026 at Shastri Bhawan, New Delhi
The discussions focused on strengthening India–Canada cooperation in the critical minerals sector, including exploration, processing, recycling, and development of sustainable and resilient supply chains. The discussions also explored opportunities for enhanced investment particularly in critical mineral value chains, technology partnerships, and downstream industries.
💥Those Who Seek to Block the Export of Crude Oil Are Acting Against the Interests of All Canadians.💥
💥Because, Presently, The Standard of Living of ALL Canadians Rests Upon the Export of Crude Oil.💥
This is due to the massive positive surplus that Crude Oil contributes to the trade balance. Without it, Canada would face a painful rebalancing through an internal devaluation (austerity & less consumption) or an external devaluation (a weaker dollar, higher inflation, austerity & less consumption).
Canada is particularly vulnerable to this type of shock (i.e. devaluation) due to its anemic productivity growth, high indebtedness, and the record share of foreign ownership of its bonds.

@lanheechen I invest in California land and then process entitlements for industrial, residential and commercial properties. What the process actually entails is unbelievable to those who hear it for the first time.
@PenguinClassics Hey Penguin - I have purchased a number of these "Clothbound Classics" and the quality of the book is just terrible. The cover printing comes off in my hand and the binding looks terrible after a normal course of reading. This is very disappointing. Will this be fixed?
