NEW: California adopts $356 billion budget.
- extra $400 tax for healthcare
- higher gas tax
- higher payroll tax
This new budget pushes California's cost of living EVEN HIGHER. Xavier Becerra would just be more of the same.
I will cut costs and make our state CALIFORDABLE ☀️
UFC Freedom 250 should have been free for all Americans to watch.
We are currently hosting an event to celebrate our country and half the country can’t even watch it.
Thank you to the big guy, God.
Thank you to the Republican primary voters for your confidence in me and rejecting garbage. I have the best team in politics. President Trump’s endorsement is the gold standard in the Republican world.
To my South Carolina team, my dear friend Senator Tim Scott, Governor McMaster, Congressmen Fry, Wilson, Timmons, and so many others - thank you.
To my dear sister and her family, I’m forever grateful for the way you stand up for your brother.
On to victory in November.
This is the last completely Christian village in the Holy Land. This is what Israel just did to it. Are you going to do anything about it, Ambassador Huckabee? @USAmbIsrael
This is biblical.
A woman in her eighties. Ten years into Alzheimer's. Hadn't spoken a full sentence in five years.
Takes one, 5 gram dose of psilocybin.
She slept 19 hours and woke up and spoke for hours about her life, recognized family and held real conversations. She regained bladder control after five years, walked on her own. and dressed herself. Gains held for weeks.
It is official. I am running for US House of Representatives in New Hampshire’s 2nd Congressional District. Thank you for coming to stand with me & be a part of history. This will be an exciting grassroots campaign. Please donate/volunteer to help me win! https://t.co/DiSKXz1ken
Yesterday, we made history.
Certain politicians think they can move lines around on a map and choose your representative for you. But they forgot one thing. We still get to vote.
When American POWs tried to sneak her notes with their personal information to tell their families they were still alive, she gave them to the North Vietnamese. Some of them were beaten to death. You are both commies and you can both fuck off.
My plan to CUT YOUR COSTS starts with TAXES:
- First $100k tax free
- No Tax on Tips for state taxes as well as federal
- Vehicle Registration capped at $71 basic fee
- Abolish $800 small business tax
- No income/property tax for veterans
Vote for Change! Vote Steve Hilton ☀️
As I have tried to persuade people before, not wanting your country to be taken over by a mediaeval woman-hating religion is not a 'far right' position
More like self preservation
And certainly not 'Islamophobia', a word that deliberately suggests that any criticism of Islam is irrational
This is Edward. He was given 6 months to live after being found as a stray. His family was determined to give him the best few months possible, so they introduced him to the ice cream truck. That was 27 months ago. 14/10 #SeniorPupSaturday
When Trump ran in 2016, he surged in popularity because a huge portion of America felt forgotten and invisible.
His populist MAGA movement crossed generational, racial, religious, and ideological lines, building a massive and diverse coalition.
What’s happening now is that many conservatives under 40 are beginning to feel the way that coalition felt in 2016: disenfranchised, ignored, and disillusioned by the system.
Meanwhile, many Baby Boomers are generally satisfied. Their property values are rising, their 401(k)s are growing, and they strongly support America’s relationship with Israel.
As a result, many younger conservatives are becoming increasingly unhappy not only with the direction of American politics, but also increasingly resentful toward a generation they feel they have less and less in common with — and toward an administration they believe caters to that generation at their expense.
Caught in the middle is Gen X, often split between both sides entirely, or issue by issue.
But one thing is becoming abundantly clear: the conservative movement 10 years from now will bear little resemblance to the conservative movement of today.
As feelings of anger, betrayal, and resentment compound, most of the ideas being accepted as the standard today are going to be thrown out.
The next generations are going to tear the system down.
And that is the great disappointment of this moment.
It could have been different.
There was every opportunity to begin building the future of the conservative movement right now — by listening to younger generations and including them in discussions about the decisions being made today that will shape their lives tomorrow.
It could have been a multi-generational coalition built on mutual respect, leading toward a smooth passing of the baton.
Instead, this increasingly feels like an administration designed almost exclusively around the priorities of the oldest generation.
It’s not sustainable. In its current form, it leaves little room for adaptation, transition, or expansion. It’s alienating.
The next 10 years of the conservative movement are going to be the Wild West. And though there will be great uncertainty, there will also be great opportunity.
