How many oil refineries were there in Calif when you were sworn into office? (18)
How many are there today? (11)
How many gallons of gas did Calif produce when you were sworn into office? (14.5 billion gallons)
How many gallons of gas does Calif produce today? (11.5 billion).
Gavin Newsom -- closed 7 refineries and reduced production of gasoline in Calif by more than 20%
Trump didn't do that -- gasoline refining is a state level business.
Newsom did it.
Nearly all (or more than 100% in net terms) of the recent net job gains among women have gone to minority women—primarily Hispanic/Latina and Asian women—while non-Hispanic White women’s employment has declined.
Since Trump’s inauguration, nearly all job growth has gone to women.
Women gained 82% of net job growth despite only being half of the population.

Crossing the border illegally is a federal crime via 8 USC 1325. 5 year statute of limitation for first time offense.
Overstaying a visa is a civil offense.
Being unlawfully present in the U.S. is a civil offense.
But none of these semantics matter, because any of the above can result in ICE detention.
There is no requirement under US law that an alien must have a criminal record before being detained by ICE. There never has been.
ICE also does not need a judicial warrant to make arrests. (Unless they’re entering private property like a home).
All they need is reasonable suspicion that an alien is unlawfully present in the country.
Bottom line, all aliens who violate US immigration law are subject to ICE arrest and detention. This is how the law has been for decades.
ICE has arrested more than half a million people since President Trump returned to office, and nearly 40 percent do not have a criminal record.
As of Aug. 6, ICE had detained more people without a criminal record this year than in all of 2025. wapo.st/45V4GP5

Unrealized gains tax for Gen-Z:
You buy a Pokémon card for $50.
Someone offers you $500 for it. You say no. You love that card. You're keeping it.
The government says: "Cool, but that card is worth $500 now. You owe us $100 in taxes."
You: "…I didn't sell it."
Government: "Don't care. Pay up."
You don't have $100 lying around. So you're forced to sell the card you love just to pay a tax on money you never received.
Next month? That card drops back to $50.
Your card is gone. Your money is gone. And the government shrugs.
That's a wealth tax on unrealized gains. They don't pay you back the tax...
Now picture this.
Your mom calls you crying. She has to sell the house she raised you in. Not because she can't afford it. She's lived there 30 years. It's paid off.
But some website says it's worth more now and the government says she owes $15,000 she doesn't have.
So she sells your childhood home. The kitchen where she made you breakfast. The doorframe where she marked your height every birthday.
Gone.
To pay a tax on money that was never real.
Now picture the opposite.
Your dad put everything into his small business. For 20 years he built it from nothing. One year the business is "valued" at $2 million on paper. He owes a massive tax bill. He empties his savings. Sells his truck. Borrows money. Pays it.
Next year the market crashes. His business is worth $200,000.
He lost everything to pay a tax on a number that doesn't exist anymore.
Does the government give him his money back?
No.
Does the government give him his truck back?
No.
Does the government care?
No.
They sold this idea as "taxing billionaires." But billionaires have armies of lawyers, offshore accounts, and trusts. They'll be fine.
You know who won't be fine? Your mom. Your dad. Your neighbor with a small business. The farmer down the road who's had the same land for four generations and now has to sell it because dirt got expensive.
You're not taxing wealth. You're taxing people for owning things.
It's like getting a parking ticket for a car you might drive somewhere someday.
They want you to own nothing and be happy. To fund the fraud, waste and abuse of the welfare state they created.
There is enough money. More tax isn't needed. It's all a lie. But you've been gaslit into believing this is a rich vs poor debate.
I hope you understand what's at stake.

Right-wingers welcoming Riley Roberts with open arms after his breakup with AOC:
Spot-on impression here
They spent $130 million pushing deeper into digital and delivery. Same-store sales kept falling, and Yum ultimately agreed to sell Pizza Hut in deals valued at $2.7 billion.
Meanwhile the franchisee who refused to gut his dining rooms is filling his. Tim Sparks converted 38 of his own Pizza Huts back to the red roof, Tiffany lamps, checkered tablecloths, and salad bar. People drive two and three hours just to sit in his booths and put their phones down.
155 of those Classics stand now, across dozens of states, quietly proving the old thing never needed a rebrand — just its roof back.
Have Red Roof in your town yet?

This is the first Latina in history who can’t get pregnant.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has announced she is freezing her eggs and has posted a video of her injecting herself with medication.
“This is just not something that men deal with,” she said before injecting herself.
“Men run for office, or frankly, they interview for jobs and people don't think in the back of their mind, ‘OK this guy's running for office, how old is he? Oh, well is he gonna wanna start a family?’”
“This is a choice I am making to feel more in control of my life.”
