The Madre Fire — which started on federal land Trump manages — is now the LARGEST wildfire of the year.
Trump hasn’t said a word. His admin is proposing cuts to the Forest Service instead.
Rake your forest, Donald Trump.

Once again, working families and small businesses are left to pay the price.
We’ve seen this play out in past crises. We know exactly how it ends — with more inequality, more instability, and less opportunity for everyday Americans.

U.S. job cuts hit 275,240 in March 2025, the highest since the pandemic peak in 2020, surpassing 2001 & 2008 recessions. Layoffs surge as federal cuts, led by DOGE, echo Covid-era losses.

My oven is a pretty standard thing but it has this feature called "rapid preheat" where it will run both the broil and the bake elements together until it's within 50° of your target.
This feature is approximately 700X more useful and interesting than having it connected to the internet.

Tariffs are nothing more than a tax on hardworking Americans — driving up the cost of groceries, cars and essential goods.
California stands for the businesses and exporters that power our economy. There’s no economic growth in America without our success.

President-elect Trump’s planned tariffs would have a profoundly negative impact on working families in California and across the country.
Make no mistake: this would be a tax on consumers.
