‼️ 🧵 On June 30, 2025, California’s democracy didn’t just stumble—it was executed in broad daylight. The weapon? A shady legislative scam that gutted CEQA, our state’s bedrock environmental law, and the culprits were none other then @GavinNewsom & Sen @Scott_Wiener. Buckle up, because this is a takedown you won’t forget—courtesy of Christopher LeGras’s explosive article, "6/30/2025: The Day Democracy Died in California".

The Setup: Wiener’s SB 607 Fiasco
Back in February, Wiener dropped SB 607, a bill so outrageous it would’ve let almost every new construction project—housing, factories, even airports—skip environmental reviews under CEQA. This wasn’t some minor tweak; it was a chainsaw to a law that’s safeguarded California’s environment for over 50 years. Predictably, it got torched by 127 environmental heavyweights like the Sierra Club and NRDC, plus labor unions and cities. Facing a revolt, Wiener gutted it in May, swapping the text for vague fluff after it had already sailed through Senate committees. Dead bill, right? Wrong.

The Scam: Trailer Bill Trickery
Here’s where it gets dirty. Wiener, Newsom, and Senate Pro Tem Mike McGuire cooked up a bait-and-switch. They resurrected SB 607 as a budget “trailer bill”—AB 131 and SB 131—slipping it into the state budget where it could dodge the normal process. No committees. No public hearings. No scrutiny. As LeGras puts it, trailer bills are “vehicles for major policy changes” that Sacramento’s warped into a loophole for shoving through garbage like this. Wiener even bragged about “embedding” it in the budget, then refused to comment on the process to CalMatters. Shocker—he’s got no defense for this sham.

Newsom’s Hostage Game
It gets worse. Newsom didn’t just back this—he *held the state hostage* to ram it through. He threatened to veto the entire state budget unless lawmakers rubber-stamped AB/SB 131. That’s right: one man strong-armed 39 million Californians, forcing a vote on a bill the public had four days to read. LeGras nails it: “A single individual held the entire state politically hostage in order to get his way.” Extortion, not leadership. And the spineless legislature caved, proving they’re more loyal to Newsom’s ego than their constituents.

The Fallout: CEQA Gutted, Democracy Trashed
CEQA’s now a husk—stripped so tech giants, real estate moguls, and corporate cronies can bulldoze whatever they want, no questions asked. Wiener whines that CEQA’s “weaponized” to block projects, but the real crime is his and Newsom’s weaponization of power. Environmentalists begged them to stop—Sierra Club called it “the worst attack on CEQA this century”—but they were ignored. So were you. This is the same Democratic Party that preens about protecting the planet, until their billionaire donors need a favor. Hypocrisy doesn’t even cover it.

The YIMBY Lie
Don’t buy the spin that this is about housing. Wiener’s YIMBY cheerleaders say CEQA kills supply, but that’s a fairy tale. The San Francisco Fed’s May 2025 paper trashed that logic—supply’s not the driver, corruption and bad policy are. This isn’t affordability; it’s a cash grab for the elite. LeGras calls it: “California Democrats are bought and paid for by big tech, big finance, and big real estate.” Wiener’s not your senator—he’s their errand boy.

Wake Up, California
June 30, 2025, wasn’t just a bad day—it was a betrayal. Newsom and Wiener didn’t dupe just the public; they duped their own party’s values, all while smirking behind closed doors. LeGras’s article is a must-read wake-up call, exposing “the rot at the heart of Sacramento.” Share this if you’re pissed. Call them out. Newsom wants to be president, Wiener wants more power—don’t let them get away with this. Democracy’s bleeding out, and it’s on us to fight back. 🗣️🔥

🧵 🔥 Hey @GavinNewsom your latest post is a masterclass in hypocrisy and deflection, a desperate attempt to blame others for your own failures. Let’s dissect this piece by piece, shall we? Your outrage over federal budget cuts to the U.S. Forest Service, NOAA, and FEMA is nothing short of laughable, given that the Palisades and Eaton fires—the very disasters you’re implicitly referencing—occurred on your watch, on state land, under your governance, and during a time when Donald Trump was not even in office. The audacity to pin this on a man who had no role in January 2025 is staggering, but let’s not stop there. The real story is your criminal negligence, your systematic defunding of state firefighting and wildfire prevention resources, and your utter failure to protect Californians. Buckle up, because the facts are about to incinerate your narrative.

First, let’s address the obvious: the Palisades and Eaton fires raged in January 2025, BEFORE Trump took office. These fires were not on federal land managed by the U.S. Forest Service, but on state land under your direct jurisdiction. The Palisades Fire, for instance, burned through areas primarily managed by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) and other state agencies. The Eaton Fire, similarly, was a state responsibility. Your attempt to shift blame to federal budget cuts is not just misleading; it’s a blatant distortion of reality. Trump’s budget proposals for 2026 have no bearing on events that occurred in January 2025, a period when you, Governor, were solely accountable.

Now, let’s talk about your hypocrisy. You decry cuts to the U.S. Forest Service, yet under your governance, California’s state firefighting and wildfire prevention resources have been systematically gutted. Research from the Legislative Analyst’s Office (LAO) reveals that in the 2024-25 state budget, which you signed into law in June 2024, funding for wildfire and forest resilience was slashed by $101 million. Yes, you read that correctly. Just months before the Palisades and Eaton fires, you personally approved a budget that reduced critical resources for fire prevention and response. This isn’t conjecture; it’s a matter of public record. The LAO’s analysis, published in June 2024, explicitly states that these cuts included a $12 million reduction to a home hardening pilot scheme designed to make homes more resilient to wildfires. You weakened the very defenses that could have mitigated the damage from these fires.

But wait, there’s more. Your administration’s negligence extends beyond budget cuts. The 2024-25 budget also failed to address the chronic understaffing and under-resourcing of CAL FIRE, the state agency responsible for managing wildfires on state land. A 2023 report by the California State Auditor found that CAL FIRE was operating with a shortfall of nearly 1,000 positions, a crisis exacerbated by your refusal to prioritize recruitment and retention. Firefighters, the very people you claim to support, were already overworked and underpaid under your watch. Your post conveniently omits this inconvenient truth, doesn’t it?

Let’s not forget the Palisades Fire itself. According to the LA County Fire Department, the fire started on January 2025, in the Palisades area of Los Angeles, a region where state land management practices are directly overseen by your administration. The fire’s rapid spread was fueled by dry vegetation and high winds, conditions that your defunded prevention programs failed to address. The Eaton Fire, which began on January 8, 2025, in the San Gabriel Mountains, followed a similar pattern. Both fires highlighted the failure of your state’s fire prevention strategies, strategies you had the power—and the responsibility—to strengthen, but chose not to. (1/3) 2/3 🔥 Your claim that Trump’s budget cuts are responsible for these disasters is not just false; it’s a diversion from your own culpability. Trump’s proposed 2026 budget, which includes cuts to the U.S. Forest Service, NOAA, and FEMA, was not even in effect in January 2025. Moreover, the U.S. Forest Service manages federal lands, not the state lands where these fires occurred. Your attempt to conflate federal and state responsibilities is a textbook example of gaslighting. You’re not just misleading the public; you’re insulting their intelligence.

But let’s dive deeper into the irony of your position. You criticize Trump for cutting the budget to NOAA, yet under your governance, California’s own environmental protection agencies have suffered. The State Water Resources Control Board, for instance, saw its funding stagnate while facing increasing demands. The California Air Resources Board, critical for managing air quality and reducing emissions that contribute to fire risk, has been hamstrung by your budget priorities. You can’t decry federal cuts while ignoring your own state’s failures.

And FEMA? Please. Your post conveniently ignores that FEMA’s role in wildfire response is supplementary to state efforts. The primary responsibility for disaster response in California rests with you, Governor Newsom. Yet, your administration’s response to the Palisades and Eaton fires was woefully inadequate. The LA County Recovers website, detailing the damage assessment from the Palisades Fire, reveals that hundreds of homes were destroyed or severely damaged, a tragedy that could have been mitigated with proper state-level preparedness. Your failure to allocate resources effectively is the real story here, not some hypothetical federal budget cut.

Let’s also consider the timing of your post. You chose to make this statement on July 1, 2025, months after the fires, at a time when the public’s memory of your failures might be fading. This is a classic Newsom move: deflect, distract, and hope no one notices the glaring inconsistencies. But we notice, Governor. We notice that you signed a budget in June 2024 that weakened California’s fire resilience, and we notice that you’re now blaming Trump for your own shortcomings.

Your post also ignores the broader context of your governance. California, under your leadership, has seen a staggering increase in wildfire risk due to poor forest management practices, urban sprawl into fire-prone areas, and a lack of investment in prevention. The 2018 Camp Fire, which killed 85 people and destroyed the town of Paradise, occurred under your watch as lieutenant governor, and the lessons from that disaster were never fully learned. Instead of addressing these systemic issues, you’ve chosen to point fingers at others.

And let’s not forget your personal role in this. You, Gavin Newsom, personally signed the 2024-25 budget that cut $101 million from wildfire prevention. You, Gavin Newsom, oversaw the defunding of CAL FIRE’s critical programs. You, Gavin Newsom, failed to ensure that state lands were properly managed to prevent disasters like the Palisades and Eaton fires. This isn’t just poor leadership; it’s criminal negligence. The blood of every home lost, every life disrupted, is on your hands, not Trump’s. (2/3)

🚨 @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom today presented his new 2025-2026 California budget. It’s full of misrepresentations, and it’s my aim to point those out for you.

MISLEADING STATEMENT #1: CA’s population is up 232k in a year.

REALITY: Population of taxpaying citizens DECLINED but overall increased because of illegals flooding state for free healthcare/education & homeless coming for free housing, criminal immunity etc. #3:

🔥🤬🔥🤬🔥🤬🔥🤬🔥🤬🔥🤬

OMG IT GETS WORSE! Here’s the smoking gun!

In his veto letter, @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom ADMITS that he vetoed the California Fireproofing Bill not because we don’t need it but because it would ruin his plan to force people into cities! He actually says “… fails to account for consequences that could increase sprawl and places significant cost burdens on the state. New state laws and policies are already directing housing to communities near transit, jobs and urban centers…”

IF THIS ISN’T ENOUGH TO FORCE A RESIGNATION OR RECALL, WHAT IS?!

OMG 😱 spread this FAR and WIDE!!!!!!

FULL TEXT: “am returning Senate Bill 182 without my signature.
This bill would impose certain fire hazard planning responsibilities on local
governments and would require cities and counties to make specified findings
on fire standards prior to permitting development in the very high fire hazard
severity zone.

I strongly support strengthening land use planning requirements in order to
better protect our communities from wildfire. The importance of reducing the
number and impact of fires in our communities cannot be overstated.

However, this bill creates inconsistencies, duplicates existing requirements, creates a
loophole for regions to not comply with their housing requirements, fails to
account for consequences that could increase sprawl and places significant
cost burdens on the state.

New state laws and policies are already directing housing to communities near
transit, jobs and urban centers and away from fire risk areas, including
integration into the current housing planning cycle. Additionally, the 2019-20
Budget requires the California Department of Housing and Community
Development, in collaboration with the Governor's Office of Planning and
Research, to develop recommendations to improve the regional housing need
allocation process to promote and streamline housing development to address

California's housing shortage.
Wildfire resilience must become a more consistent part of land use and
development decisions. However, it must be done while meeting our housing
needs.”Image FYI @adamcarolla @JustineBateman @RoxanneHoge @jenvanlaar @JenSiebelNewsom @RobSchneider @Saving_CA @SteveHiltonx @pnjaban @realDonaldTrump @CAGovOps @GovPressOffice @foxnewsnight @tracegallagher @JesseBWatters @IngrahamAngle @RichardGrenell @StephenM @WhiteHouse @TheChiefNerd @CryptoWendyO @markjeffrey

⚡️California’s electricity demand at 7:15p tonight is 34,428 megawatts.

Let’s do some math: I already calculated that all transportation in CA consumes 2,434,500 MWh a day. Let’s assume most charge at night (cheaper & more convenient) over a span of 10 hours. That would mean 243,500 megawatts of power used ALL night, EVERY night, to charge every car, bus, and truck once Newsom’s fantasy of an all-EV California occurs. WOW!!!! 🤯

That’s a 7-FOLD increase in power consumption in the evening over what is used at 715pm, but since we use less power when people are asleep, it means our electrical grid will have to accommodate 10-20 TIMES more power consumed than before 100% EVs!

Renewables currently supply 9317 megawatts at that time, meaning we would need to boost renewables 26-FOLD to be able to have “clean” energy. Otherwise we are just burning fossil fuels at the power plant instead of in your car’s engine.

But it gets worse: our electrical grid, as well as home (house, condo, apartment) wiring often cannot accommodate the high voltages and amperages needed to carry all this power. So what happens then? What happens when the grid shuts down because it’s overworked? And how will people pay for transportation when they inevitably have to jack up electric charges dramatically due to surging evening demand??

NONE of this makes sense. Newsom’s “climate” policies seem nice on the surface but once you look beyond the slogans and do the math (I’m an MIT-trained engineer in addition to being a doc), you realize it’s impossible to implement without causing large scale disruptions and overwhelming cost increases that’ll eclipse what we consider high energy costs today.

I haven’t even considered the enormous costs of installing charging infrastructure everywhere, who will pay for it, and the long time it takes to charge an EV, even with “fast charging”!

I have EVs. I love them. But they’re not for everyone and once you mandate them for everyone, we are in for a lot of pain. Time to stop this. @ib2_real I would be grateful if you could kindly read this with an open mind and non-political lens. I’m trying to help you and other policymakers understand the realities of an all-electric transportation system so you can grasp the unintended but very real consequences of this. Please let’s discuss. Thanks! 🙏

🧵🚨MED SCHOOL DEI SMOKING GUN🚨

As a former member of UCLA's med school admissions committee, I'm dismayed to see this report showing how DEI policies are producing failing docs at UCLA.

I've also heard from current UCLA admissions that they have anti-Jew policies (just a few per year versus dozens when I was there) and confirmed the anti-Asian bias of the current committee.

But the problem is more widespread and goes to the very top. The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) is the umbrella organization for all US MD schools.

A whistleblower sent me an AAMC slide deck presented to med school admissions deans several years ago by Dr. Geoffrey Young entitled "Admissions:
How are we moving forward?".

In this slide, entitled "Understanding the Whole Applicant," med schools are told to consider race, ethnicity, faith, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, and national origin in admissions! 1/6Image In another AAMC admissions slide, med schools are told to use "More nuanced race and ethnicity categories."

Why? Because while many applicants are "diverse", some applicants are more diverse than others.

If your minority religion/race isn't "oppressed", you're not diverse. 2/6Image

🌊 ⚡️🐳 The very same people in California who are happily ripping out thousands of Joshua Trees to place solar panels are ambitiously planning to install massive offshore wind farms with the goal to enhance clean energy generation. Here are my major concerns:

1. Environmental Impact: Offshore wind farms can significantly disrupt marine ecosystems. The installation process, involving activities like pile driving into the seabed, generates underwater noise that can disturb marine life, potentially altering fish and marine mammal behaviors and impacting migration patterns and feeding grounds.

Furthermore, these structures can obstruct shipping lanes, altering vessel routes and potentially increasing fuel consumption and emissions.

2. Economic Concerns: The cost of generating electricity from offshore wind is astronomical compared to other sources. Per MWh of power:

-Offshore wind: $67-179 (California high end of that range)
-Onshore wind: $27-75
-Solar: $31-146
-Nuclear: $81-82
-Natural Gas: $52-78

Guess what: WE pay for those higher costs. Like paying $1500-2000/mo for power, more when you can only have EV’s?

Despite the potential for large-scale energy production, the economic investment required for the development of offshore wind infrastructure is substantial. This includes the costs associated with (environmentally bad) undersea cables and ongoing maintenance (saltwater & electric cables!) which drive up the cost per kilowatt-hour compared to other renewable energy sources.

3. Aesthetic Impact: Residents and visitors value the pristine views of California's coastline. A sea full of large wind turbines (many are needed to generate meaningful power) are pollutants, likely impacting tourism and local property values. Worse, who on earth wants to look at an ocean full of these monstrosities?

4. Impact on Public Health and Community: While direct health impacts from noise are minimal, the aesthetic concerns and the effect of shadow flicker can significantly affect community well-being. Read: Environmental Impacts of Wind Power by the Union of Concerned Scientists ().

5. Technological and Operational Challenges: The effective operation of wind turbines depends on numerous factors including wind speed and turbine design. Despite technological advances, issues like noise pollution and turbine visibility still pose challenges. And on a day when the wind doesn’t blow, they make NO power. Imagine a cloudy day with no wind: we’d become crippled.

6. Long-term Commitments: It's crucial to consider the decommissioning process after the operational life of the turbines. Ensuring that developers are responsible for the environmental restoration of sites is essential for sustainable development. But somehow I have a feeling taxpayers will get stuck with the bill.

There actually have been some offshore wind projects in the United States that were either dismantled or abandoned. Notable examples include the Cape Wind project in Massachusetts, which was canceled due to legal, financial, and logistical challenges. The Fisherman's Energy Atlantic City Windfarm in New Jersey also faced postponement and eventually abandonment due to regulatory and financial hurdles. Additionally, the Ocean Wind projects (1 and 2) in New Jersey were canceled by Ørsted in 2023 due to poor financial outlooks.

Let's Talk: The environmental and economic and aesthetic costs of offshore wind are NOT worth the clean energy gains. In fact, they’re anything BUT clean. We already have cleaner and cheaper alternatives that don’t destroy the coast.

This is dangerous virtue signaling that will cost us dearly and destroy fragile ocean ecosystems and it must be stopped. It makes for a nice press conference & photo op but it must NOT be allowed to happen. Not here. Not anywhere.

So why’s it happening? Follow the money 💰. Wonder how much these politicians are getting. 🤔ucsusa.org/resources/envi…Image I urge @RickChavezZbur @PhilBrock4SM @ctorosis who are in these photos below to read and then discuss with me personally. Note that I have long been a personal friend & supporter of @santamonicacity Mayor Brock. I have also supported many of Assemblyman Zbur’s recent actions.
