INTERVIEW: @BarrySanders and Jahmyr Gibbs sat down together for an awesome chat about their relationship.

Sanders said Gibbs has made him more excited to be a @Lions fan than ever before. And Gibbs draws a ton of inspiration from the Hall of Famer. https://t.co/XBmuzQsjV3

There are currently 190,000 children in Chicago living below the poverty level.

For the price of the $900 million Obama library, we could have given each one of these poor children in Chicago $4,736.

Am I doing this right?

Every fact above is documented in IRS Form 990s, campaign finance filings, FBI investigative records, court documents, and legislative voting history.

The complete primary source dossier is now public.

Read it. Share it. Before they try to make it disappear.

Just walked in the front door after work.

My 5 year old son ran to greet me.

"Hi dad!" he said excitedly.

As he went to hug me, I grabbed his shoulders and said, "Bud, I think you're overestimating the value of human relationships. I read that in a Substack today. Everything is different now. I mean - it was different before, but it's super different now."

He blinked, clutching a plastic dinosaur. I couldn't believe it. Attachment to physical objects in a post-digital era. I gently rotated him toward the hallway mirror.

“Look,” I continued, “do you see that reflection? That’s legacy hardware. Carbon-based. High latency. Limited processing power."

As I kicked off my shoes, my 3 year old daughter came running up to me with a drawing she made in preschool this morning.

She was glowing. Beaming.

“Look, Daddy! I made this for you!”

I glanced at it and explained that Nano Banana one-shotted her entire effort. Her job prospects were hopeless if she didn't understand this.

“Sweetie,” I said gently, kneeling down, “this crayon sun? It’s 2022. Nano Banana can generate 100,000 emotionally resonant suns before you finish saying ‘primary colors.’ You need API access.”

She asked what an API was.

“Exactly,” I said, standing up.

The crying started around then. Very emotional household. Understandable. They hadn't read *the essay.*

My wife heard the children crying in the foyer and came to check on us.

"I don't understand what's happening here, but why don't we sit down for dinner and talk about this?" she asked. "I made chicken pot pies!"

“Dinner? Your contribution to a world where Amex and Mastercard are heading to zero by 2028 is DINNER?!”

I started laughing.

“Uh yeah…” I explained: “Cooking is a pre-Claude activity. Do you realize I can vibecode a functional DoorDash competitor in about 8 minutes now? It's all right there in the Substack.”

As the kids continued sobbing, my wife looked at me in disbelief.

“Okay, okay. Maybe it would take me 15 minutes to spin up a functional Doordash competitor,” I conceded. “Payments integration can be annoying.”

She asked if I was feeling alright.

“Better than alright,” I said. “I’ve seen the roadmap. I've read the Substack.”

I gestured broadly at the house: “This? This is a future data center. The hugs? Deprecated. The drawings? Automatable. The chicken pot pies? Disrupted.”

My wife folded her arms. “You used to like chicken pot pies.”

“That was before I could prompt at a few hundred words per minute,” I said.

Rob and Mia Bonta built their power in California on money from a human trafficking front, fraudulent nonprofits, and a donor network now under active FBI indictment.

Mia Bonta’s 2021 Assembly campaign received thousands in straw donor contributions from “Music Cafe,” an Oakland karaoke bar raided by state authorities for ketamine and ecstasy distribution, prostitution, and human trafficking. The man investigators believe was the real owner of that front called Rob Bonta “brother,” partied with the Bontas in limousines, and sat courtside with them at Warriors games.

Just months after those donations, Mia Bonta abstained on a bipartisan bill making the commercial sexual exploitation of children a serious felony under California’s Three Strikes law. She only reversed course after nationwide outrage and public threats forced her hand.

This is the same couple whose operation includes Mia running Oakland Promise without a valid federal 501(c)(3) determination. She filed IRS Form 990s using a duplicate EIN from another nonprofit in clear violation of California corporation law. While the organization operated in legal limbo, she collected base salaries of $160,625, $147,000, and $128,125 in different years. Rob Bonta used his position in the Legislature to behest corporate and lobbyist money directly into organizations paying his wife six figures, including a $25,000 transfer from his own foundation that he initially tried to disguise as a loan on tax filings.

Her 2021 campaign headquarters was located at 1241 High Street in Oakland — the exact former corporate address of Viridis Fuels, the failed biofuel company that received a $3.4 million state grant after Rob Bonta personally intervened with the California Energy Commission on behalf of its president, a donor with a documented history of tax liens and financial failure.

The Duong family and their associates, now federally indicted alongside former Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao on bribery and corruption charges, pumped over $172,000 into Rob and Mia Bonta’s campaigns — more than 30x their average contribution to other local politicians. When the FBI raids hit, Rob returned $155,000 “out of an abundance of caution.” His campaign then spent nearly $469,000 on private legal counsel from one of the most expensive firms in the country to navigate the investigation, including after receiving a letter warning that one of the targets possessed a “compromising video” of the Attorney General.

While this was happening, Rob Bonta’s Department of Justice leaked the full personal data of over 240,000 Californians who held concealed carry permits — names, addresses, dates of birth, and license numbers — days after the Supreme Court struck down similar restrictions in Bruen. The same Attorney General who has positioned himself as a national champion of data privacy and sued companies for far less presided over one of the most reckless state-sponsored data breaches in California history.

Mia Bonta authored AB 2624, legislation already being called the “Stop Nick Shirley Act” by critics. It attempts to criminalize journalists and citizens who document misconduct by taxpayer-funded nonprofits and government contractors — the exact structures her own record shows were used to move money and shield operations from scrutiny.

Rob Bonta has used the powers of the Attorney General’s office to manipulate ballot language against tough-on-crime measures that later passed with overwhelming voter support, lost a 6-3 Supreme Court case for violating First Amendment donor privacy rights, and allowed foreign-linked money to flow into litigation he then personally promoted for political gain.

They function as one closed system. She advances the agenda and shields the nonprofit pipeline. He controls the Department of Justice, the budget fights, and the legal apparatus that protects the machine. When one is threatened, the other’s power is deployed.
