Isn’t it weird how unsubsidized consumer goods like TVs, appliances, clothes, all get cheaper and cheaper…while anything government puts its hands on, healthcare, housing, food, tuition, cars, utilities…just gets more and more unaffordable?
Oh well. Probably nothing.
⛽️Newsom’s newest gas tax will cause Californians to pay an extra $1.15 PER GALLON at the pump.
CA families can’t afford this, & they’ve been squeezed enough by these costly policies.
My colleagues & I sent a letter to @GovernorGavinNewsom demanding he suspend the gas tax.
California friends: please take a moment to contact your state legislators and urge them to **OPPOSE AB 736**.
According to the California Association of REALTORS®, this legislation could allow local transfer taxes/fees to climb dramatically — from the current general-law city cap of **0.11%** to as much as **1.5% to 3%** of a home’s sale price.
On a median-priced California home of roughly **$930,000**, that could mean going from about **$1,023** in transfer taxes/fees to nearly **$28,000**.
That is not a small adjustment. That is a major new cost added to the sale of a home — and in a state already struggling with housing affordability, we should be making it easier, not harder, for people to buy, sell, move, downsize, or enter the market.
Please contact your Assemblymember and State Senator and ask them to vote **NO** or abstain on AB 736.
Not sure who represents you in Sacramento? You can find your State Senator and Assemblymember by looking up

Please contact both offices and urge them to vote NO or abstain on AB 736.
Homeownership is already expensive enough.
WHOA: Spencer Pratt just went NUCLEAR on Karen Bass and Nithya Raman in a new video posted to X.
“You think your election was going to stop me? If you want to stop me, you’re going to have to f*cking kill me!”
He warned that he has recordings of one of the candidates that will force her to “resign in shame,” and said the gloves are now completely off.
PRATT: “You’re about to reward the arsonist who torched the place with four more years of destruction?”
“My goal hasn’t changed. I’ve been very focused on stopping these commie animals and I will stop them.”
“If you think we uncovered a lot of fraud and evil in the campaign, just wait.”
“We have some recordings of one of your exalted candidates doing and saying something that would make her resign in shame.”
“I was saving it for the general election. Go ahead and pick your demon, certify your choice and then you get to see it.”
“So Karen, Nithya, ask yourself, is it possible that one of your employees may have a recording of you doing or saying something that would force you to resign in disgrace?”
@shesasaintnow@NomikiKonst If Bass had done her job this would’ve all been avoided. You know, keep the reservoirs filled. Fund the fire department. Enforce the laws so drugs and homeless don’t run rampant. Don’t defraud the taxpayers that pay her salary. But yes, please focus on him. 🤡
Mainstream media NBC News went to the Spencer Pratt’s Los Angeles Block Party
I don’t think they were expecting this
Because the area is lower income, they thought everyone would be supporting Democrats
They asked people at the party what they really thought of Spencer Pratt and every single one said they were voting for him and wanted Democrat Karen Bass out of office
Data shows Spencer Pratt is doing very well with lower income LA residents
He has a srong appeal on homelessness and quality-of-life issues: Pratt’s core messages of zero-tolerance on encampments, mandatory treatment, auditing homelessness spending resonate in low income and working class neighborhoods heavily impacted by visible disorder. These areas often report the highest frustration with current policies
Recent Emerson and Cygnal polls show Pratt at 22% overall, up 12 points in weeks, with strong gains among male voters and those prioritizing public safety and homelessness
Pratt raised $2.7 million recently from 8,718 donors mostly from small contributions
This is huge
Vote Spencer Pratt
“Los Angeles utility workers are making over $700,000 a YEAR.”
Spencer Pratt pulled LADWP payroll records — 100+ employees clearing over $500,000, some topping $700,000.
An $11 billion department with the SAME political appointees.
This is institutionalized FRAUD.
Los Angeles mayor Karen Bass is in the middle of a massive money laundering operation
- A racial justice nonprofit is getting $875,000 PER UNIT from taxpayers to build 3 skyscrapers
- The CEO of this nonprofit has close ties to Karen Bass
- Karen Bass put this nonprofit’s CEO on the LA County Affordable Housing Solutions Board
- So he’s now approving the money and getting the money
Here’s the full breakdown:
The Weingart Center is a Skid Row nonprofit that claims to advance “racial, social, and economic justice” by helping the homeless. They manage multiple properties
The CEO is Kevin Murray and he makes $400,000 per year
In 2024, LA Mayor Karen Bass appointed Kevin Murray to the LA County Affordable Housing Solutions Board. The board that oversees homeless funding
So the nonprofit that gets the money is now deciding who gets the money and how much (Huge conflict of interest)
Next, Mayor Karen Bass appointed Ben Rosen, Director of Real Estate Development, to the same board at Kevin Murray’s request
(So now the homeless nonprofit CEO is telling mayor Karen Bass who else to appoint to be in charge of giving our homeless money, and she’s doing it)
Weingart raked in $100 million in just one year (It pays to be close with Karen Bass)
A big chunk of that money comes from California’s Homekey Initiative:
California has dumped nearly $4 billion into Homekey Initiative but:
- 71% of properties vacant
- Multiple fraud cases
- One developer charged $2M on his personal Amex for things like Coachella tickets
But instead of shutting it down, they expanded it with Homekey Plus.
Naturally the nonprofit friend of Karen Bass The Weingart Center wants some of that new money
Weingart wanted $37 million to turn a 122-room hotel into permanent housing. They���d pocket $2+ million in developer fees and got a sweet deal with ongoing subsidies
Here’s where some fraud comes in
The property was valued at just $10M - 21M, not the $30M they wanted. They wanted to pocket $10 million dollars of taxpayer money
Luckily public backlash killed the deal, but that’s not where it ends
The Weingart Center tried to convert a Cheviot Hills nursing home using $26 million in Homekey funds.
Mayor Bass helped personally recommend it.
The developer? Stephen Taylor who’s now facing 9 felony charges for altering bank statements and lying to lenders while trying to flip the property for double the price. Weingart signed the deal with a confidentiality clause.
The Weingart Center has repeatedly failed federal audit requirements… yet even after still, they still got a $9 million no-bid contract from Mayor Karen Bass (She’s clearly involved in the fraud)
Now The Weingart Center is likely getting $865,000 per apartment unit to build 3 skyscrapers, all paid for by taxpayers
Facilitated by Karen Bass
The money laundering never ends, LA has been doing this a lot lately, here’s a few more
- Restoration apartments: Bought in 2020 via Homekey for $5.3 million to create 80 units of recovery housing for the homeless. 6 years later it’s completely abandoned
- Shangri-La Industries got 26 million in Homekey grants, he bought luxury items, cars and trips
- In South LA a shelter operator with a $2.3 million city contract claimed 88 beds in court filings. A spot check revealed only 44 actual beds, the rest were empty platforms
The fraud in California never stops
🚨 Spencer Pratt = Straight 🔥🔥🔥
“This state is being run by the mob.” “Everyone in gov
is milking taxpayers through these shady NGOs…
nowhere is it more pervasive than Karen Bass’ LA.”
“Ever wonder why we pour billions into homelessness
& only see more filth & drug addicts on the streets?
Because it’s all a scam. They’re stealing your money.”
Mic drop: “When I’m Mayor, this mafia racket stops!"
This is the energy California needs.👊
