California is scrapping its new $455 million 911 system because it doesn't work. Sixteen years, three governors, and the 1970s analog system is still answering your call. Then, Sacramento Democrats are advancing the "Stop Nick Shirley Act," a bill critics say would let taxpayer-funded NGOs silence journalists exposing them. And Gavin Newsom's PAC just spent $1.5 million buying his own memoir to manufacture a New York Times bestseller — right before a 2028 run. Plus the 6-Shooter: Karen Bass's leaked Palisades fire call, a whites-excluded school field trip, and a $35 billion budget hole.

076: Ballot Seizures, Elder Exploitation, and the $126 Billion Ghost Train
Monday Apr 13, 2026
Monday Apr 13, 2026
Sheriff Bianco seizes 650,000 ballots in Riverside County, sparking a legal war with the Attorney General over a disputed vote count. Then: a Ventura County conservator funneled $2.7 million from her elderly clients to her husband's company, the judge approved every penny and the state watchdog did nothing. Plus, 60 Minutes exposes California's $126 billion "ghost train," no track laid after 18 years, and Sacramento's response is a bill to hide the receipts. Three stories, one pattern: broken trust and disappearing accountability.

Saturday Mar 14, 2026
California's governor's race has ten candidates, zero leaders, and Republicans are somehow sitting at the top of the polls. Then, millions of dollars meant for LA's kids got looted right out of the school district while nobody was watching. And a grassroots Voter ID initiative just cleared 1.3 million signatures and is headed for the November ballot — because apparently basic election security is controversial in California. Plus, Mayor Bass tried to bury her own fire department's failures, and Newsom apparently found a creative way to funnel $4 million to his wife. Just another week in the Golden State.

A proposed law would let high-speed rail officials bury embarrassing records. Billions in hospice fraud went unchecked while seniors lost real care.

Thursday Jan 01, 2026
Thursday Jan 01, 2026
California's State Auditor just named 8 agencies "high-risk" for waste, fraud, and mismanagement. EDD blew millions on unused cell phones. CARB paid a ghost employee for 15 months. The Department of Technology has been failing since 2007. So what's Sacramento's solution? A 5% wealth tax on billionaires.
