[Nick shirley @nickshirleyy]

California has officially signed the “Stop Nick Shirley Act” (AB 2624) into law. This bill was created only after I exposed widespread fraud in immigrant communities across America, specifically in California’s Medicaid, nonprofits and other welfare programs funded by our tax dollars.

These politicians need the fraud to continue and they sadly use immigrants to do so often. They fund nonprofits and NGOs with hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars every year for immigration services, including free healthcare and have now made “immigration support service providers” essentially a protected class in California.

For example, if I film a hospice or a “learing center” with no patients receiving millions through Medicaid and the owner gives me a paper saying I cannot publish the video, I cannot publish it. If I publish it to expose them and they claim it caused them “fear” or a third party threatens them, I face a minimum $4,000 civil fine plus the legal fees of the individual or group suing me.

This bill was created by the Attorney General’s wife and co-sponsored by CHIRLA, a nonprofit that has received over $80,000,000 in taxpayer dollars for “immigrant support services.” Do you understand how this works yet? When the fraud is exposed, they create new laws to protect the fraudsters and penalize those who expose it.

By signing this bill, the Governor and California politicians expose themselves as the corrupt politicians they are. This is not the end, the fight has just begun. More to come soon, this is far from over.

It’s healthy to prove people wrong for a good cause. The number of calls we’ve received this week from retailers who want to come back to the Palisades, now that they have seen the amazing energy and sales numbers from the Palisades Village retailers and restaurants, has been incredible. We exceeded our sales and traffic goals this weekend. It is fantastic. It’s amazing what free enterprise and government can accomplish when they come together for the good of a community.

[Rick J. Caruso @RickCarusoLA]

Two days after the Palisades fires, the Caruso team got together, wiped our tears, and started rebuilding the Palisades Village. 19 months later, carried by the love, resilience, and strength of this community, we are proud to take this mega-step in the rebuilding of the Palisades.❤️

I have been waiting 19 months to say, “Welcome to Palisades Village!”

I saw the video and assumed it had to be fake.

Dean Forbes was homeless twice, written off again and again, and still became a first‑class PE operator.

@realestatedude0 “Non profit” is the biggest bullshit scam. All it means is 90% if not ALL the “profit” goes into salaries. It’s a complete and total fraud. People paying themselves C suite salaries for admin work.

Legend. Rest in Maui paradise, coach.

[Marc Stein @TheSteinLine]

Hall of Famer Don Nelson, three-time NBA Coach of the Year and five times a champion as a player with the Boston Celtics, has died at age 86.

The family has issued this statement:

“On Sunday morning our beloved husband, dad, grandfather and great-grandfather Don Nelson peacefully went to be with the Lord, surrounded by his loving family. Throughout his last week, friends and family encircled him with love, sharing the blessing of his friendship and revisiting treasured memories.”

The fact that you can’t check into a hotel until 4pm when the day is basically over but have to check out by 10am the next morning should honestly be illegal.

Husband, father and brilliant football coach Kyle Shanahan survived a brutal car crash. That feels like the most important thing. Get well coach.

[Ramin @RFurz]

Good lord. Get well soon, Coach.

[Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter]

San Francisco 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan suffered significant injuries in a car accident during his summer break in mid July that now will leave him limited as the team opens training camp.

Shanahan broke his nose, three ribs, his hand, needed over 40 stiches in his face and suffered a severe concussion during a July 14 car accident when he collided with an SUV near his northern California home, per me and @nwagoner.

LAHSA’s new report is expected to show that despite spending billions, LA’s homeless population sleeping on our streets increased by 8%. DSA City Council members voted AGAINST removing encampments near schools. These policies have to change. We have to deal with the homeless problem with compassion, but also with common sense and by enforcing the law.

[Rick J. Caruso @RickCarusoLA]

I doubt anyone living in LA is surprised.

I'm tired of being told that, to be a progressive, I now must swear allegiance to crazy ideas.

I'm a strong Democrat, with a winning bipartisan track record. I'm rooted in progressive ideals and policies: criminal justice reform, Green New Deal, Medicare for All, free education, clean air and water. These are ideas I have fought for my entire adult life.

But some people in groups like the DSA are pushing an agenda FAR outside those ideals. Supporting Hamas is not progressive. "No police, no prisons, no borders" is not progressive. Celebrating the murder of Israeli civilians is not progressive. These ideas are REGRESSIVE.

If there were no police or prisons, if anyone in your neighborhood could do whatever they wanted, while politicians cheered on terror groups — would that represent PROGRESS to you? No, that would be a step back. Those are REGRESSIVE ideas.

On the other hand, if everybody could see a doctor when they got sick, get a good, free education and breathe clean air — would that represent progress? Yes. Those are PROGRESSIVE ideas.

They are NOT the same thing. And the difference matters.

Some defend the far left by claiming they only want Nordic-style social democracy. If that were true, I might applaud them. I want those policies, too! But what does universal healthcare have to do with Hamas? With abolishing all law enforcement? With erasing all borders? With treating every wealthy person as a villain? Ideas matter. And these are terrible ideas.

Right now, extremists are trying to sneak backwards proposals into our party, hoping mainstream Democrats are too frustrated with MAGA and the Democratic Party establishment to notice.

But we see you.

Yes, we want our Democratic Party to be a big tent. But we don’t need "party poopers. So STOP pooping in the punch bowl — and telling us the turds are ice cubes.

They aren't. And we are smart enough to know the difference. 💩
