we can spend a billion dollars on adding a new lane that won't fix congestion but we can't spend a million dollars on making it safe to walk outside, to improve public transportation, or to build bike lanes, all of which are cheaper than roads.
Project to add a lane, making a safer 5 Freeway between 405 and 55, gets underway
The $715 million project will be funded by Measure M, the half-cent sales tax collected in Orange County for transportation projects, and state and federal contributions.

the optics of who they kill shouldn’t matter as much as they do but they are important and in Alex Pretti they have killed someone that they simply cannot successfully “he was no angel”

history has turned on less

The execution of Alex Pretti is playing so badly because you can look at his actions and life story - his last act was helping, boy scout, athlete, health care worker to veterans - and compare those to the men who killed him and know which you would want to be your son, brother, father, uncle.

ICE has kidnapped another Indigenous person in Minneapolis. This is the fifth member of the Očhéthi Šakówinnto be taken this month.

Statement from Standing Rock:
STATEMENT REGARDING DETENTION OF STANDING ROCK SIOUX TRIBE MEMBER IN MINNESOTA JANUARY 24, 2026 I was notified today, January 24, 2026, that a Standing Rock Sioux Tribe member has been detained by the U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the state of Minnesota. Tribal leadership is actively working to locate the individual, gather accurate information, and coordinate with the appropriate authorities to secure their release. At this time, details surrounding the detention remain limited. I urge the public to refrain from spreading unverified information while this matter is being reviewed. Standing Rock Sioux Tribe will continue to advocate for the protection of our citizen's rights and will provide updates as appropriate.

I let ChatGPT analyze a decade of my health data. Then I called my doctor. I gave the new ChatGPT Health access to 29 million steps and 6 million heartbeat measurements. It drew questionable conclusions that changed each time I asked.

The Free Press put out a piece calling out Noem's lies about Alex Pretti's murder, and the comment section is absolutely furious.
Excerpt of comment on article: have really enjoyed the excellent journalism of The Free Press but must tell you it is very disappointing to have the Editorial staff be so myopic and willfully ignorant of the complexity of this tragedy. First you must turn your attention to the very sophisticated Marxist network that is orchestrating these confrontations of law enforcement and the contributions from the dishonest complicit Mayor and Governor. These organized mobs are illegal once they interfere with law enforcement, period

David J. Bier X.com Bovino openly says that we are never learning the identity of the murderer because that would be "doxing." He says he has already gotten the agent out of Minnesota's jurisdiction. He put him back on the job. He is part of an extensive, open criminal coverup.

New at The Watch:

I dug into archival witness accounts of the British siege of Boston prior to the American Revolution.

They are remarkably similar to what we're seeing in Minneapolis.

Two cities under siege
Remarkably similar scenes from Boston and Minneapolis, 260 years apart, show a federal government betraying its founding principles.

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum.

Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum.

Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum.

ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.
