HE LIKELY DOESN’T CARE:
Hey @sundarpichai are you aware one of Google’s AI researchers is actively rooting for China, thinks the USA is fascist, and believes the contract you just signed with the US govt is morally equivalent to what the Nazis did in the Holocaust? Seems like a pretty big security risk. pic.twitter.com/QqxjxRpoEm

BLUE STATE BLUES: California agencies discuss what to cut as state deals with $35B deficit.
In January, the Governor’s Office projected only a $3 billion budget shortfall next year, well under the Legislative Analyst’s Office projections of an $18 billion shortfall in its budget released in November 2025.
Since that time, the conflict in Iran and an $8.6 billion increase in tax revenues have improved the budget outlook, but increasing costs in Medi-Cal spending has complicated the revenue picture, Palmer said. He noted nothing is final in the next version of the governor’s budget.
Newsom made it clear in January that he is attempting to solve the budget problems not only in 2026-27, but the following fiscal year as well, Palmer told The Center Square.
Meanwhile: The cost of High-Speed Rail is now estimated at $231 billion.
Ditching HSR would patch plenty of holes in the budget, but then what would Dems do for graft?
KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Brandon Gill Gives a Master Class on Questioning an Abortion Ghoul. “Texas Representative Brandon Gill is the youngest Republican in Congress but he is, as the old saying goes, wise beyond his years. On Tuesday, the 32-year-old first term congressman provided a blueprint for all of the GOP elders of the village on how to deal with any vile abortion ghoul who is being questioned by lawmakers.”
OTHER PEOPLE’S MONEY, IT’S LITERALLY AN UNLIMITED RESOURCE!
Its free, you just raise taxes on other people and expand the already bloated budget and those actions have no economic consequences whatsoever. There are adults who actually believe this. https://t.co/10s6QlIFp0

CHANGE: Nebraska First to Enforce Medicaid Work Requirement.
State officials say they’re prepared, training staff and sending letters, emails and texts to people who could be impacted.
Health policy experts, advocates and other states will be watching closely.
“It can be used as a lesson for other states, both where things go well and where things don’t go well,” said Jennifer Tolbert, deputy director of KFF’s Program on Medicaid and the Uninsured.
The work requirement is part of a broad tax and policy law that President Donald Trump signed last year. Nebraska Republican Gov. Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen announced in December that the state would implement it eight months before it was required, saying the aim was “making sure we get every able-bodied Nebraskan to be a part of our community.”
Exit quote: “Under the change, many Medicaid participants ages 19 through 64 will have to show that they work or do community service at least 80 hours a month, or are enrolled in school at least half-time.”
Those conditions aren’t exactly arduous.

HEY, BIG SPENDER:
The deficit is entirely created by Mamdani himself and his insane budget request of $15 billion dollars over last year, an unheard of increase to fund his ridiculous wish list of giveaways to corrupt nonprofits, illegals, and political activists.
If we simply kept our spending… https://t.co/55QQwxOOaR

SASHA STONE: Jimmy Kimmel Isn’t Worth It, Mr. President. “Does Kimmel deserve to be fired? I can’t care. To care would mean he mattered enough to bother, and he doesn’t. He’s not that important. He’s only important when Trump notices him, and then he becomes a story.”
THIS ONE DOESN’T LOOK LIKE IT HAS MUCH MERIT, BUT HAS DOJ SPED UP SINCE BONDI LEFT? Justice Department Indicts James Comey Again.

THE THREE R’S REALLY WORK: Focus on teaching kids to read — not fixing ‘root causes.’
YES:
Democrats “increase the temperature” until something excessively violent happens and then insist that Republicans “lower the temperature” by giving Democrats everything they want…lest more violence happens.
It's a political extortion racket.
