Kamala Harris has announced she will not run for governor of California, a move widely seen as positioning herself for a 2028 presidential run. Many had expected her to pursue the governorship unopposed, but stepping aside signals a focus on staying active at the national level.
The Trump administration has launched a major health data program with over 60 companies including Google, Apple, and CVS. Led by Dr. Oz and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., it aims to digitize Americans’ medical records. Despite past MAGA fears of government overreach, many supporters are now silent as their allies run the program. Critics worry about data misuse and privacy risks.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent called Trump’s proposed “savings accounts” a backdoor strategy to shift Social Security into the hands of private, for-profit investment firms. Critics warn this would expose retirement funds to stock market risks and fees, undermining the stability and predictability Social Security currently provides.
Trump has recently shown more signs of confusion during public appearances. He gave jumbled answers on trade, misunderstood questions about Russiagate, and dismissed Epstein-related files. At another event with Dr. Oz and RFK Jr., Trump appeared to nod off during a key health policy announcement. While right-wing media often attack Joe Biden’s energy levels, Trump’s own behavior has been largely ignored by the media.
Donald Trump is escalating his attacks on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, labeling him unqualified for not cutting interest rates, reflecting a growing effort to politicize the Federal Reserve.
FDA Commissioner Marty Makary went on CNBC and spread vaccine misinformation by claiming the COVID vaccine caused a friend’s parent to die, even while acknowledging that studies on vaccine injuries are only just beginning.
Finally, California Senate Majority Leader Lena Gonzalez joins us to discuss the recent federal immigration raids that have disrupted Southeast Los Angeles and Long Beach. She highlights concerns about unmarked agents using force, detaining residents (including U.S. citizens), and instilling fear within communities.

Well, I sure do like the way Powell shut down dumpty. I sure am laughing that dumpty keeps repeating the lies and the Supremes told him he couldn’t fire Powell.🤩 And I LOVE IT that Kkkkaroline is in deep financial trouble. Whee!
P.S. I’m also loving your videos with other content creators I trust. Keep up the good work because the only way past this is going through it to the end.
We are officially living inside a banana republic with 5G and bad polling ladies and gents.
The same folks who swore the government was “tracking your blood pressure through your phone” are now dead silent as Trump’s health surveillance program gets run by Dr. Oz, RFK Jr., and CVS. That’s like letting f****** Joe Rogan design your vaccine rollout.
Meanwhile, Trump’s on TV blaming the Fed for construction delays like he’s the superintendent of a Waffle House parking lot. His plan for the economy? Cut rates, rig the Fed, and hand out $600 checks like it’s payday at Mar-a-Lago.
If you see the pattern, you’re not crazy. These moth********* don’t want policy, they want obedience.
🔍 I’m tracking the media whitewash in real time, especially how billionaires have turned institutions like The Washington Post into rhetorical Febreze for the powerful. If you’re looking for unfiltered, culturally grounded commentary, my latest post connects these dots.
