Commentary: This status quo cannot last any longer. Fossil fuel companies got us into this crisis, and now it’s time lawmakers hold them accountable by passing crucial legislation this year. cal.news/41uKIcI 📝 Nico Gardner

Another reminder that California is progressive only as a label. In its communities, conservatives, liberals and the politically homeless alike push to censor or stop lesson plans & ban books teaching students about queer culture, ethnic conflicts and racial history www.politico.com/newsletters/...

Adam Hardesty wants to convert his garage into an ADU. He got the approval of neighbors, architects and engineers, his city and a staffer at the state housing department. But in California, there's one last line of defense in the battle for local control: The HOA. calmatters.org/housing/2025...

Today’s a good day to resurface this. High-speed rail is an economic project as much as it is a transit one. California’s conservative farm belt, a place the president thinks lacks water in January, views the bullet train in a much different light than Washington calmatters.org/commentary/2...

Support for California high-speed rail has been steady for decades. Only problem is the lack of political will from politicians. This could be done in a matter of years and in a way that staves off more cost overruns if the feds stopped being so coy and corrupted ktla.com/news/califor...

There appear to be at least three separately operating heel factions breaking things within the government in wholly different ways right now. There's the Miller-headed immigration one, the DOGE/Elon one, and a Project 2025 OMB one. This dynamic hasn't showed up in mainstream reporting at all.
