🚨 WTF?! California State Sen. Scott Wiener (D) just helped DEFEAT a bill that would've blocked registered s*x offenders from holding public office
Wiener said it's "dangerous" because the crimes aren't a huge deal, and that some people just have "flaws"
This guy needs to be looked into 🤯
It's official.
California's gas tax is now 63.4¢ per gallon, the highest in the nation.
Assembly Republicans tried to stop it.
Sacramento Democrats blocked those efforts.
Actions speak louder than press releases.

Justice Jackson, Kagan, and Sotomayor ruled against women having equal protection under the law.
Liberal women, yet again, prove to be the biggest hurdle women face.
If Democrats wanted to pause the gas tax increase, they would. But the truth is, they don't.
They'd rather debate how they're going to spend your money than how to save it. Have you had enough of paying the highest taxes in the nation yet?

California’s new packaging law recently went into effect and farmers are saying they won’t be able to adapt and food will end up being wasted or spoiling
The law is SB 54, ‘The Plastic Pollution Prevention and Packaging Producer Responsibility Act’
“Groceries in California are about to get more expensive, and in some cases, your favorite fresh produce may not be there at all. — For fresh produce, packaging isn't optional. Plastic helps keep food safe, fresh, and from going to waste — Look, we all want more sustainable packaging, but for everyday items like berries, bagged salads, ready-to-eat produce, there aren't real scalable alternatives yet. And it could take 5 to 10 years to get there, or longer”
“So when mandates move faster than technology, prices go up, shelf life drops, and some products just won't pencil out”
Here’s what the new law mandates, SB 54 Requires by 2032:
- 25% reduction in single-use plastic packaging and food service ware by weight
- 100% of single-use packaging and plastic food service ware must be recyclable or compostable.
- 65% recycling rate for the remaining single-use plastic packaging
Producers, brands, manufacturers must join a Producer Responsibility Organization and pay fees. This is including $500 million per year to a state fund for pollution mitigation and cleanup, totaling $5 billion over 10 years), and fund collection and recycling infrastructure
