🚨 JUST IN: Spencer Pratt is now WINDING UP to unleash a RECORDING against Karen Bass or Nithya Raman that would force them to resign
Expose it all, @spencerpratt 🔥
"We have a recording of one of your candidates doing and saying something that would make her resign in shame. So Karen, Nithya, ask yourself, is it possible that one of your employees may have a recording of you doing or saying something that would force you to resign and disgrace?"
LFG!
An incredible and historic night for @USMNT!
I was honored to join over 70,000 fans for the first game of the FIFA World Cup 2026 hosted in the United States. 🇺🇸
Gavin Newsom and the Sacramento establishment have given us the highest taxes, the highest unemployment, the highest cost of living, the highest gas prices, and are driving businesses out of the state.
Delivering relief starts with cutting taxes for Californians ☀️👊
Elon Musk makes Americans millionaires by building companies and creating real wealth.
Ilhan Omar makes Somalians millionaires by enabling fraud and gaming the system.
They are not the same… One creates. The other steals.
🚨 BREAKING: THE IRAN DEAL IS BEING SIGNED TOMORROW — President Trump
IMMEDIATE opening of the Strait of Hormuz, and no nukes — then, the US will obtain the nuclear dust
LFG, he's really doing it! 🇺🇸
"The Deal is scheduled to get signed tomorrow, and immediately after it is signed, the Hormuz Strait is OPEN TO ALL. Our relationship with Iran is a much different and better one than previous Administrations have had. Unlike Obama’s Hundreds of Billions of Dollars in payments to them, including 1.7 Billion Dollars in green, cold cash, no money will exchange hands."
"At the appropriate time, when all is calm, we will go in and get the Nuclear Dust, buried deep under the powerful sunken granite mountains, thanks to our beautiful B-2 Bombers and their brilliant pilots, and downblend and destroy it, whether in Iran, or the United States."
"We look forward to working with Iran, and the entire Middle East, long into the future. Hopefully, this process will all work out quickly, easily, and smoothly. If it doesn’t, we have the ultimate alternative, hopefully never to be used again! Thank you for your attention to this matter!!! President DONALD J. TRUMP"
Heading into the weekend with one thing on our minds: the California we're fighting for.
Safe. Prosperous. Accountable. Golden.
Have a great weekend, California. The work continues Monday.

Notice how, unlike the NBA, all of the Team USA soccer players have their hands over their hearts for the national anthem!
This isn’t about black or white.
This is about the NBA being full of ungrateful bitches who hate the country!
The El Segundo Times were very eager to dox where my children sleep; they thought that was newsworthy. Have they reported on the arsonists who set fire to my office in the middle of my election?
Today, June 13, is the feast day of St. Anthony of Padua.
One of the most beloved saints in Christian history.
More than 800 years after his death, Catholics around the world still seek his intercession. ✝️
We have oil and gas right here in California. It makes zero sense to pay the highest prices in the country while shipping it in from halfway around the world.
We’re going to responsibly increase in-state production, cut the extreme regulations that don’t help anyone, and get gas down to $3 a gallon.
Working people deserve a break at the pump. That’s Califordable. ☀️

This case was prosecuted right here in the Central District of California, where a Los Angeles jury returned a guilty verdict for this egregious $45 million Botox fraud scheme.
My office is working overtime to return as much money as possible from this defendant to the American taxpayer.
Following the conviction, the jury found that a Tesla Model X, a Tesla Cybertruck, $251,124 in multiple bank accounts, brokerage accounts valued at $7,312,037 at the time of seizure, and four properties in Surfside and Glendale, California, with combined estimated equity of $7,343,636, were proceeds of the fraud subject to forfeiture. All this property now legally belongs to the United States government.
A wise man once said, if you want to hate America, watch the news. If you want to love America, drive across it.
These European World Cup tourists are experiencing the REAL America for the first time: not New York City or LA, but middle America and all its hospitality. 🇺🇸
The reason anyone gets insanely rich is almost always because of the stock market. It certainly how @elonmusk did.
And the reason they get rich from the stock market, is because 150m Americans decided they wanted to own shares of stocks directly, or through their retirement plans, or through other approaches as a way of building their net worth and trying to create a better life for themselves.
One Hundred Fifty Million Americans. About 60% of adults.
Effectively believing that @elonmusk and many billionaires could make them wealthier and help them achieve a better life.
If you want @elonmusk , and most billionaires to no longer be that rich, convince those 150m to sell their stocks, funds, ETFs whatever.
Of course you would wipe out the net-worth of most of those people, and everyone else’s savings, as the markets crashed and brought down the economy and created the worst depression we have ever seen.
Alternatively
There are ways to improve healthcare access and eventually make it available to all.
To start -
If you want @elonmusk and all billionaires to improve healthcare for everyone , ask them to stop doing business with the enormous healthcare conglomerates and to work directly with transparently priced care providers.
It’s the behemoth HC conglomerates that make HC so bad for so many. (Check my timeline for more detail)
Removing them would push the cost of healthcare down for everyone. Their corporate decisions impact our healthcare cost and availability.
Of course if they do that, not only would our HC costs go down , and the quality of care for their employees and the entire country go up
But
They would see their corporate cash flow increase dramatically and we would have more millionaires, billionaires and maybe even another trillionaire when that cash flow moved from the big health care conglomerates to their bottom line, so would the net worth of the 150 million American adults that own public stocks
Capitalism is better than socialism because 150m Americans can influence exactly what happens in this country.
We’ve turned St. Anthony of Padua into a divine GPS for car keys and missing remotes. 🗝️
But the man known as the "Hammer of Heretics" didn’t earn his title by finding lost wallets.
He earned it by being one of the most formidable preachers in Church history, a man whose tongue was so sharp and whose logic was so devastating that he dismantled the Albigensian heresy across Europe.
While we’re busy asking him to find our sunglasses, he’s probably wondering when we’re going to find our backbones and defend the Truth he spent his life protecting.
His tongue remains incorrupt today: not because he found someone’s lost cat, but because he used it to proclaim the Gospel with such power that it shook the foundations of error.
Maybe next time we lose something, we should check if it's our sense of Church history first.
