But Newsom allows Chinese gangsters to run pot farms with illegal toxic fertilizer/chemicals in some of California’s most beautiful and pristine land, as reported yesyerday by @christopherrufo @StrackHaley. This is his California way:

The EPA has intricate regulations governing the chemicals Americans can emit into the environment. Violate one, and the government (and environmentalists) will spring into action. Unless you're an illegal immigrant growing toxic pot in California as part of a CCP-backed enterprise. Then you can do whatever you want. Jaw-dropping reporting from @christopherrufo and @StrackHaley in @CityJournal.

My colleague, @StrackHaley, raided an illegal marijuana farm with the local Sheriff's department in Siskiyou, California. The farms are run by Chinese illegal immigrants who are actively poisoning the land with the unregulated pesticides they bring in from China. Where are the California environmentalist NGOs when you need them?!

Chinese criminal networks have turned California’s Siskiyou County—one of the most beautiful landscapes in America—into an industrial marijuana factory. Under Mount Shasta, they’re running billions in unlicensed grows, truck in water, are trafficking labor, and spray banned Chinese pesticides that experts call a form of chemical warfare. Pot legalization wound up inviting in the triads and the CCP to farm outside the system, while Governor Newsom looks away. Remarkable reporting from Chris Rufo and Haley Stark:

EXCLUSIVE: Chinese criminal gangs with links to the CCP have built an illegal cannabis empire in Siskiyou County, California. They're generating $2 billion a year in revenues and criminal growers are now 20% of the entire population. Gavin Newsom is doing nothing to stop them.

We have officially filed a lawsuit against the New York City Mayor’s Office for unacceptable delays in providing documents related to Mamdani official Ana Maria Archila's attempt to meet with Iran’s UN ambassador. Our public records request sought information on scheduling records for Archila over a six month period. We filed this request on July 9. Four days later, on July 13, the Mayor’s Office notified us that we could expect the response around January 11, 2027. Our lawsuit asks the court to declare the Mayor’s Office’s response unlawful, order it to produce the requested records within five days, and award the attorney’s fees and costs permitted by New York's Freedom of Information Law (FOIL). More broadly, the case asks the court to enforce a modest rule: before City Hall makes a requester wait six months, it must have a request-specific reason for doing so.

Harm Reduction workers gave this man a ‘safe supply’ kit and he died of an overdose soon after. I witnessed the entire thing. Minutes later they were in the coffee shop nearby smiling and didn’t seem to care. For them, they had done their job. They gave him bodily autonomy. 🖕

Ted Cruz was absolutely right to speak in stark terms about the “red-green alliance” on the left, and he was justified in *noticing* the comfort with which Mamdani, El-Sayed, and other DSA types promulgate Islamist narratives. Not everyone agreed with me. We debated it!
