@HondoCarpenter If we needed this last piece to make a run, then MAYBE. But not now. Would be a horrible decision.

EXCLUSIVE: Multiple senior HHS officials estimate that, under Gavin Newsom, California's state Medicaid program has lost 25 percent of its budget to fraud. This would mean it is currently losing $50 billion a year to scammers, fraudsters, and organized crime rings.

@DataRepublican @grok is this thread accurate?

🚨 NEW: 94% of liberal late night TV’s ‘jokes’ about Iran have targeted the U.S. and its allies

Researchers found 235 out of the 250 war-related ‘jokes’ — or 94 percent — were negative about the U.S., while only 15 ‘jokes’ called out Iran, found Media Research Center.

The study reviewed 20 episodes of major late-night programs aired, including Jimmy Kimmel Live on ABC, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on CBS, The Daily Show on Comedy Central, Late Night with Seth Meyers, and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on NBC.

Seth Meyers delivered the highest number of jokes about the United States at 52, and every single war-related joke in his sample targeted the American side.

Jimmy Fallon aimed 36 of his 37 jokes — 97 percent — at the U.S., while Jimmy Kimmel directed 51 of 53 jokes, or 96 percent, at America or its allies.

Fresno State Head Coach Matt Entz got off to a good start in 2025 in year one going 9-4. He kept that momentum going by signing the BEST RECRUITING CLASS EVER In Program History by AVG Recruit Ranking in 2026. The 84.97 AVG is 0.99 points higher than 2025. The class is led by 3 star CB Isaiah Lucero who had offers from BYU, Utah, Arizona and Michigan State. 3 star EDGE Jake Plummer is 6'6 with exceptional athleticism, he should give QBs nightmares. An under the radar player to watch for is 3 star EDGE Solomon Baker from Omaha Nebraska who could develop into a quality starter. Coach Entz definitely has this program heading in the right direction.

The WSJ has one of the first major investigations using the DOGE Medicaid data released recently. They found private equity-backed autism centers and small operators gouging the system. One tiny Indiana firm raked in $29 million for just 84 patients.

Teachers average among the least intelligent university graduates.

In a given year, the lowest-scoring groups on the GRE, SAT, and ACT are usually those pursuing degrees in education.

Litquidity is underselling it. This tweet accelerated the timeline on one of the largest corporate relocations in American history.

When Gonzalez tweeted this on May 9, 2020, Tesla’s market cap was roughly $150B. Today it’s $1.5T. She was a state assemblywoman representing a San Diego district with zero Tesla operations, zero connection to Alameda County’s factory dispute, and zero to gain from picking this fight. Musk responded with two words: “message received.”

Eighteen months later, Tesla moved its headquarters to Austin. Gonzalez, meanwhile, resigned from the Assembly in January 2022 to run the California Labor Federation. Her husband Nathan Fletcher later resigned from the San Diego County Board of Supervisors amid sexual harassment lawsuits. The political dynasty she was building collapsed. The company she told to leave became a $1.5 trillion titan operating from Texas.

The math on this is staggering. California lost Tesla’s HQ, its future gigafactory investments, and the tax revenue and job creation that followed. Austin got all of it. One assemblywoman with 34,000 Twitter followers picked a fight with a CEO who had 34 million, and the state’s own governor publicly sided with Musk over her the following Monday.

What makes this actually interesting is why she did it. Gonzalez authored AB5, California’s anti-freelance law that destroyed tens of thousands of independent contractor livelihoods to benefit her union donors. The Musk tweet was brand-building for the same constituency. Tag the world’s richest man, generate headlines, fuel a run for Secretary of State. She even admitted it: “I probably could’ve expressed my frustration in a less aggressive way. Of course, no one would’ve cared if I tweeted that.”

She optimized for attention from labor unions. Musk optimized for shareholder value and regulatory environment. Only one of those optimization functions scales. Gonzalez got a union leadership job. California lost a trillion-dollar company.
