When’s the last time you heard California politicians talk about lowering taxes or making it more affordable to live here? Feels like it’s never happened. Instead of working to make life easier, they just keep pushing for more taxes and higher costs. https://t.co/BwKimpiORG

Earlier this week, the Board of Supervisors passed a proposal that sounds good — but hits your wallet. The County is forcing a $25/hour wage for one industry and adding new regulations on events at places like Waterfront Park. What that means for you: -Higher venue and labor

Ohio moves to ban “AI marriages.” New legislation would also prevent AI systems from being granted legal personhood — no ownership, no spousal rights, no corporate authority. A reminder that AI must serve humanity, not merge with it.

My colleagues voted against prioritizing San Diegans for homeownership. With the median home price at $937,000 and 70% of families priced out of the market, this common-sense legislation should have passed. Foreign investors and big corporations are snapping up homes, while

If you’re upset about the immigration raids happening in San Diego — think about why they’re happening. For years, millions of people were allowed to enter this country unvetted. Bcause of California’s sanctuary state laws, local law enforcement can’t work with federal

The American Dream of owning a home is slipping away for too many San Diegans. When I was young, if you worked hard and saved, you could make it happen. Today, with a median home price of $937,000 and more than 70% of families priced out, that dream is out of reach for many.

The I-5 freeway will be shut down between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. today after a sudden CHP announcement. The Marines at Camp Pendleton have been firing live rounds and training beneath I-5 for over 50 years — without closing the freeway. There is zero reason for this sudden shutdown.
