The University of Pennsylvania will block transgender athletes from female sports teams and erase the records set by swimmer Lia Thomas as part of an agreement with the federal government, the Department of Education said. The agreement comes as part of the Trump administration's broader restrictions on transgender people, as it steps up its efforts to ban transgender athletes from competing in women's sports nationwide and serving in the military. read more
Newsom doesn't want to fund California's new tough-on-crime law. Who should? Supporters of Prop. 36 wanted at least $250 million. The governor gave them nothing. California voters overwhelmingly approved a tough-on-crime ballot measure in the November election, but it still lacks hundreds of millions of dollars in funding as state legislators and Gov. Gavin Newsom battle over how to finance the new law. read more

While Canada's fires are darkening the skies of America, DialAgain has a comment about American firefighters. Typical Lumper
More than 180 wildland fires burned across Canada on June 1, 2025, continuing what has been an active fire year so far. Some of the fires produced plumes so thick and widespread they were easily visible from a vantage point in space well beyond that of the Moon.
NASA's EPIC (Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera) on NOAA's DSCOVR satellite acquired this image on May 31, 2025. The instrument is positioned 1.5 million kilometers (1 million miles) from Earth's surface, which is about four times farther than the orbit of the Moon. For comparison, most polar orbiting satellites that observe Earth orbit at an altitude of less than 1,000 kilometers. From its distant position, EPIC captures a color image of the entire sunlit side of Earth at least once every two hours.
The EPIC wide view shows smoke from fires burning primarily in the Canadian provinces of Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The plumes extend to the north-northeast across Nunavut toward the coast of Greenland and southward across the United States. Another patch of smoke is visible over the Atlantic Ocean near Europe. Note that the hazy air west of Africa is not smoke but dust that has blown westward from the Sahara Desert.

As Millions of Acres Burn, Firefighters Say the U.S. Forest Service Has Left Them With Critical Shortages
The agency recently said that it had reached 101% of its firefighter hiring goal for 2024, but those on the front lines say the agency is understating how badly depleted their ranks are, especially for experienced firefighters.

Maybe its just that firefighters are hard to recruit.
Does the Gaslighter alias have anything other than Anti-Trump propaganda to substantiate the claim in the article?
Where's the money coming from to rehab these facilities and bring them back on line?

California Spent $24 Billion on homelessness Since 2019, yet it still increased (181,000)
I suspect it all went to NGO's and their salaries, how about we start there.
I am not exactly sure about this idea, but complaining about where the money comes from is pretty funny.

You mean we aren't being milked now? Let me say that again $24Billion for homelessness since 2019 just in CA.
Across the country I imagine it's over $100Billion. for what maybe 500,000 homeless?
