@RepSaraJacobs Truck drivers, firefighters, and nurses pay taxes on their income. Musk’s wealth is mostly unrealized stock gains — which aren’t taxed until sold (a system both parties have supported for decades). If you want to change that, write the bill instead of the tweet.
Steve is 100% right. Newsom is a pathetic clown boycotting Chevron while HE destroyed our refineries.
Short #2 proof:
• FIVE major refineries gone in 5 years
• Benicia alone: 145k barrels/day = 8% of California’s gasoline — shutting 2026
• Valero: $1.1 BILLION loss to flee his CARB/cap-and-trade regs
• Now 60%+ foreign oil + Iran chaos = $8 gas incoming
He killed domestic supply, made us dependent, then deflects to Trump + pumps.
Surrender.
Vote these failures out.
BBQ weekend — ask 5 people if registered & help them.
Who’s done with this? 🔥

Just had the pleasure of meeting Robb Tucker at a fundraiser this afternoon. If you live in District 3, he's the one to vote for! Thank you, @NinaCar85813447 for the invite!
I got a rejection letter from a hybrid publisher! If they would have accepted it, they would have charged me $12k. Their reasoning: two questionable examples from the first three pages and this comment "We are also concerned with the amount of AI used to shape and edit your manuscript."
They had asked and I was honest about using AutoCrit (beta readers) and InkShift (story analysis). Anyone that knows these tools, knows that the do not generate anything. I feel like I should have disclosed that I allowed Scrivener to point out spelling mistakes too.
I think self-publishing going to be my path forward.
@authorslmurray I have 6 people I know picked for different strengths in terms of how they will view my story. I also gave them a specific set of questions to think about. We're going to sit down together in about a month, book club style, to discuss.
HS is my pit crew. Has been since my first triathlon in 2012. This is the post where I figured out why that matters. 🏅 It takes a while, but the protagonist in my novel figures this out too.
