@LeaderJohnThune@POTUS That’s adorable Thune, however, I don’t think you’re gonna have much of a political future since you will be voted out in 2028, so there’s that!!
🚨 CALIFORNIA WANTS 16-YEAR-OLDS IN BOOSTER SEATS
This is INSANE
Starting January 1, 2027, kids ages 8 to 16 have to pass a “Five-Step Test” before they can ride without a booster.
Fail any step and your 15-year-old — the one who can legally drive in some states — is back in a booster seat.
5 part test: 1. Sit all the way back. 2. Knees bent over the edge. 3. Belt across the chest just so. 4. Lap belt on the thighs. 5. Stay like that the whole trip.
This is the state that already treats childhood like a liability. Now they’re writing height-and-posture tests into the vehicle code so a teenager who doesn’t sit “correctly” can get you a ticket.
Gavin Newsom signed it. AB 435.
They will tell you it’s “only if the belt doesn’t fit.” They always start there.
Then the reminder goes out from the sheriff. Then the checkpoints. Then the fine.
WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS!!!!!!!
Republican megadonor Tim Mellon has sharply reduced his political giving this cycle after the Senate failed to pass the SAVE America Act, according to The New York Times.
Mellon gave nearly $200 million during the 2024 election cycle but has made roughly $3.1 million in publicly disclosed contributions to Republican candidates and groups so far this cycle.
The Times reported that Mellon told Republicans he was withholding donations from Senate candidates because lawmakers failed to pass the Trump-backed voting legislation.
