Wake Up Everybody - Teddy Pendergrass https://t.co/voTXTGTtiE via @YouTube listen to the lyrics, it’s even more true today than when it was written. Let’s be kind to each other #music#kindness#USA
In San Diego for Politifest—our third stop of the day and yet another event Becerra skipped out on due to a "scheduling conflict."
It's easy to joke about "hiding in the basement." But there's a serious point here:
The corrupt Machine that's run California for 16 years is no longer interested in earning your vote. And the only way to change that is to deliver them a LOSS in November.
$1,072 to register his pickup truck in San Diego!
If I’m governor, his registration will be $73. If Becerra is governor, the GOUGING continues.
It’s a simple choice, California.
Ballots are starting to go out. Vote for CHANGE!
479,000 unaccompanied children came through HHS on Xavier Becerra’s watch — he dismantled the vetting, told staff to run it “like a production line,” and kids were sent to a container lot and to MS-13, what Bobby Kennedy called the largest child trafficking operation in history.
Protecting children is the first job of government, and this should disqualify him: ballots are going out, California — vote for CHANGE.
Sacramento’s doom loop: a budget that nearly doubled to $350 billion, hidden gas and housing taxes they won’t even call taxes, and a bureaucracy that makes it harder to build or run a business — and Becerra’s only answer is more welfare and higher taxes to feed the slush fund.
I’ll cut the costs so you keep more: no state tax under $150k, $3 gas. Ballots are going out, California — vote for CHANGE.
To the Democrats and Independents who still believe in the promise of California:
The Sacramento machine has made this state unlivable—the highest gas, housing, and electricity prices in the nation. I came to this state because I believed in the ladder of opportunity for working people. That's not what California is today.
This isn't about party. It’s about practical solutions, cutting costs, and restoring that promise.
The corrupt Machine has had its chance. California isn’t working. Time to throw out the insiders.
California has had ENOUGH!
We want $3 GAS.
We want $73 car registration.
We want electricity bills cut in half.
We want no state tax on your first $150,000.
We want no more lies and corruption!
Enough is enough!!
@BradBeringer@GavinNewsom Unless Hilton gets in, that’s not going to change. It is a major health and safety issue and there is no excuse for it in America.
Watch as a drone captures miles of homeless encampments, trash piles, needles, and other sh!t in California.
One part of the video literally borders UC Berkeley. @GavinNewsom is a Complete Failure. Why do Californians continue to vote blue?
NO FUN ALLOWED! CA Democrats just passed AB 686 to crack down on AI parodies that make fun of politicians.
Political satire is protected FREE SPEECH! Contact your legislator and tell them to grow thicker skin and stop attacking the First Amendment!
APPALLING! AOC and Mamdani laughing while they read the names of American 9/11 victims at today's 9/11 Ground Zero ceremony.
THESE PEOPLE ARE HORRIBLE!
I'm a brain surgeon, and I'm gonna show you how to operate your brain the way it's designed, to help you heal the wounds you’ve been carrying; the ones from childhood, from broken relationships, from things said that can’t be unsaid, and from things done that can’t be undone. This is part two, make sure you watch part one also. Let's scrub in and get it done.
Unhealed Wounds Get Rehearsed, Not Just Remembered
Every time you replay a painful memory in anger or self-pity instead of truth, you’re not just remembering it, you’re practicing it. And practice strengthens whatever pathway you’re using.
Neuroscience nugget: Neurons that fire together wire together. Rehearsing a wound with bitterness deepens the very neural pathway that keeps the pain alive, making the hurt easier to access and harder to escape. Don’t violate the 1st commandment of self-brain surgery (No self-malpractice) by letting neuroplasticity work against you.
Remember the 9th commandment of self-brain surgery (”What I’m doing, I’m getting better at”), and rehearse the healing rather than the hurt.
Self-Brain Surgery Procedure:
Catch yourself the next time you start replaying an old hurt for the hundredth time. Stop mid-rehearsal and say, “I will not practice this pain today.”
Replace it with one true, hopeful thought and hold that instead.
Scripture: “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable... think about such things.” Philippians 4:8, NIV
This is self-brain surgery. Hard and holy work.
Follow me to connect neuroscience and scripture every day. Save this to help when you need to heal. Share it with a friend who's hurting.

Prescription drugs cost 422% more in the US than the rest of the world. I’ve got your back and am proud to partner with SHARx to help change that. @JoinRisingTides#ad
