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.
Finally! Thanks Boeing and @SecDuffy for getting this over the finish line to join the 8s and 9s already flying.
The Federal Aviation Administration has certified the 737-7!
This milestone for the longest-range 737 MAX validates the rigor of the design and testing and recognizes #TeamBoeing's determination and resilience.
Certification includes more than 1,000 hours of flight and ground testing, along with safety analysis overseen by @FAANews.
This approval clears the way for delivery of the first airplane.

Thank you @epaleezeldin & @EPA for unlocking new tools that have passed gold standard science reviews for farmers to use in our mission to grow safe, abundant food right here in America. 🇺🇸
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on Tuesday approved two new herbicide active ingredients designed to combat waterhemp and Palmer amaranth in corn, soybeans and other crops, according to documents posted by the agency.

California rice acres are way down in 2026. With Japan almost doubling purchases after Trump's historic trade deal & Australian medium grain production down by 2/3(!), California rice producers have a great market set up. Hopefully they won't just give it away!
USDA has issued its June acreage report. California planted rice acres are estimated at 455,000, less than some thought. Arkansas is at 851,000 acres, and Louisiana at 400,000. Reason for much fewer acres: low prices and high input costs esmis.nal.usda.gov/sites/def…
$1,744 per acre, per year in regulatory costs for these farmers! This can't contiue.
Unsurprisingly, the governor's office has "declined to comment."

Wow! This is really great for 4-H and rural students across the country! Thanks @elonmusk!
SpaceX's @Starlink, Tractor Supply Company (the largest rural lifestyle retailer in the US); and 4-H, America’s largest youth development organization, announced today an alliance to expand broadband access in rural communities.
• Starlink will provide 100 Starlink kits and service to designated 4-H clubs serving rural youth, generating opportunities for students to participate in STEM, educational and workforce development programs.
• For eligible Starlink kits purchased through Tractor Supply stores and tractorsupply.com, Starlink will donate the value of the customer’s first month of subscription service directly to National 4-H Council, generating sustainable funding for local 4-H programs.
• Tractor Supply will donate $500,000 to National 4-H Council to kick off the initiative.
Paying attention?
During the Iranian Revolution, leftist students, communists, and Muslims were all united in overthrowing the Shah.
The leftists celebrated when Khomeini returned in 1979. They thought they defeated capitalism and imperialism. It didn’t last long.
Around 30,000 leftists who helped the Islamic regime consolidate power were soon executed. That’s where the term “useful idiot” comes from.
They served their purpose and were no longer needed. Muslims had always despised their progressive ideals and couldn’t wait to get rid of them.
One of the women celebrating in the picture was killed, the other fled the country for her life.
It’s bizarre that almost 50 years later, Western leftists are making the exact same mistake and allying with Muslims. They will have the same fate.
Spot on.
🚨 WOW! Trump Interior Sec. Doug Burgum just OBLITERATED Gavin Newsom for whining about energy prices yet purposefully DETROYING refineries
"California not only imports 60% of their oil from foreign countries. That is a absolute national security risk. The number one importer into California on February 1st of this year, 2026 was Iraq!"
"There used to be 40 REFINERIES in California. Then it was eight, then seven, then six. They're putting so much pressure!"
"So California has a policy. They've turned themselves into an energy desert, an energy island, raising prices, lowering national security."
"California's policies do one thing for sure. They RAISE the price of energy, including gasoline for every single Californian. Everybody needs to know in California the reason you're paying more for gasoline than anybody else in the world. And the lower 48, more for diesel, is because of the state policies."
Hopefully @Chevron keeps blasting away at how ridiculous Democrats in Sacramento are for taking money from the pockets of hardworking Californians.
California's gas and diesel taxes are increasing on July 1, the Newsom administration's Department of Tax and Fee Administration announced at the end of the day. New gas tax will be 63.4 cents per gallon.

Neat story about the unscripted scene from downtown Chicago during filming of the movie The Fugitive. Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Heartbroken to hear of Orion Samuelson's passing at 91. He was a true champion for farmers and consumers everywhere. That unmistakable deep voice was one of the most memorable in broadcasting.
I'll never forget asking him to come to California to help defeat a ballot measure against biotechnology—he showed up without hesitation, bringing national attention to the issue and educating folks coast to coast about modern farming.
When our family wrote an Earth Day editorial for newspapers nationwide highlighting positive work in agriculture, Orion spread the good word far and wide on radio and TV, always shining a light on innovation and stewardship.
At farm events across the country, he'd greet me by name with that warm, affable smile and signature humor. He remembered the details and emphasized connecting agriculture in northern California to the bigger picture for farmers, families, and consumers nationwide. Affable, humorous, deeply knowledgeable, and endlessly dedicated.
Rest in peace, Orion. Thank you for your friendship, advocacy, and for using your platform to make agriculture's story heard. You'll be deeply missed. 🌾🙏#OrionSamuelson #VoiceOfAgriculture #WGNRadio #FarmBroadcaster
Broadcasting has lost one of its greatest pioneers. WGN Radio mourns the passing of Orion Samuelson at the age of 91. wgnradio.com/orion-samuelson…
While we're at, let's stop putting that nitrogen into our diesel vehicles, fire trucks, construction equipment, backup generators for healthcare, farm tractors & combines and all the other stuff that it's mandated to go in. It's nuts!
Yep.
California sits at the intersection of two extremes.
On one end is a population of extremely smart, capable Californians that have helped build the 4th largest economy in the world.
At the other end sits the same extremely smart, capable population but who have turned their brains off and have elected, year after year for decades, a group of incompetent and corrupt politicians that have hijacked the governance of the state.
In lockstep, the finances, pensions and livability of California erodes every day: the fire hydrants are empty, the drug addicts get free drugs, the alcoholics get free beer, the criminals get “get out of jail free” cards, the average grades of students are falling off a cliff, you can’t build homes for normal people but you can pretend to build them for the homeless and get taxpayers to foot the bill, you can’t improve health care subsidies unless they are for illegal immigrants, you don’t want to tell the truth about exploding pensions so you change how you report about them to hide the time bomb. And on and on.
The everyday citizens that make California great needs to wake up to the fact that their apathy has created this chaos and we must change direction to undo it.
Excellent! This nonsense of taxing and regulating carbon is insanity. It's the very thing plants need to survive, feed, clothe and shelter our world.
.@PressSec: "This will the largest deregulatory action in American history, and it will save the American people $1.3T in crushing regulations."
