Good news for the Trump administration when it comes to inflation.
We are becoming two-tiered law system and, guess what, you are not in the upper tier.
And I don’t want to hear anything about affordability from California.

Here is some news:
- Year-over-year inflation fell for the first time since January, dropping down to 3.5% in June, according to data released on Tuesday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
- Jashanpreet Singh, a 21-year-old Indian national who federal authorities said was in the United States illegally, was sentenced Tuesday to four years and eight months in prison after pleading guilty to three felony counts of vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence stemming from an October 2025 crash on Interstate 10 in San Bernardino County, California. Singh’s semitruck plowed into slow-moving traffic, killing three people and injuring several others, while dashcam video showed him never applying the brakes before impact.

- Gov. Kathy Hochul slammed the brakes on New York’s data center boom Tuesday, handing China a gift-wrapped win in the global tech arms race.
- A report stated she would sign an executive order that freezes state permitting for massive AI server farms. It halts new hyperscale data center approvals and orders state regulators to establish rules on energy use, water consumption, and other environmental impacts before any more projects move forward. Hochul framed it as consumer protection, saying she couldn’t sit by while server farms threaten to increase utility bills and drain New York’s water supply.

They Needed to Do That a Long Time Ago
According to the Daily Voice:
Some Taco Bell locations have temporarily stopped serving certain fresh ingredients amid a nationwide rise of cyclosporiasis cases, according to multiple reports, including People and Allrecipes.
The reported menu changes come as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Friday, July 10, that it has received 843 confirmed domestic cases of cyclosporiasis across 31 states.
The illness is caused by the microscopic Cyclospora parasite. The CDC said 86 people have been hospitalized, and no deaths have been reported.
People reported that some Taco Bell locations, including some in Metro Detroit, posted signs saying lettuce, pico de gallo, guacamole, and cilantro onion were unavailable.
Allrecipes reported that a paper sign at a Taco Bell drive-thru read, “We are currently unable to sell Lettuce, Cilantro, Onion, Pico de Gallo, and Guacamole due to a nationwide recall.” The image was posted by a Reddit user from Michigan.
Allrecipes also reported that neither the FDA nor USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service had issued recalls for those specific items. The outlet said it was unclear whether the ingredients were part of an internal recall by Taco Bell’s supplier.

I Smell a Nobel Prize in His Future!
According to the California Post:
Federal agents descended on the Irvine home of a teenager whose alleged science experiments sparked hazmat crews to swarm the residence over complaints of a strong chemical smell Wednesday.
Several blue tens and dozens of agents — from the FBI, Department of Justice, Environmental Protection Agency and Irvine Police Department — were spotted in the gated community as they investigated the home of 18-year-old Amalvin Fritz.
A judicial search warrant was being served at the location, according to the US Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California. It’s currently unclear what was seized from the home.
It’s the second time in two days agents were at the home, as FBI officials, hazardous material crews and the bomb squad were all at the property Tuesday after neighbors spotted three strange industrial barrels and reported a strange chemical odor.
The three barrels were allegedly empty and previously contained chemicals but were not confiscated during February’s investigation, according to CJ Ray, the family’s attorney.
Chemical mixtures along with formulas written on a whiteboard were discovered inside home, which prompted the FBI to bring in experts to investigate further.
No arrests were made in the February search.
Is This a Good Use of Money?
According to the New York Post:
Sacramento residents are bracing for tight supervision of what they throw in their trash as Gov. Gavin Newsom’s mandates require the city to lay invasive eyes on them.
Bin inspections are set to be deployed this month due to SB 1383, a law that requires local governments to take steps to reduce methane emissions caused by short-lived climate pollutants.
One of the key goals of the initiative is to see if homeowners are sorting their organic waste properly. City officials say they caught many sorting their trash into the wrong bin.
No fines will be issued, but residents will receive unsolicited feedback via a tag city workers place. Workers will wear high-visibility vests and badges as they peer through residents’ garbage.
Why Are There So Many Fires?
According to the California Post:
San Diego is forging ahead with plans for a sprawling new community featuring more than 5,100 affordable homes — despite fierce pushback from private landowners who warn the rezoning could slash the value of their property.
The massive Southwest Village development in Otay Mesa will span nearly 490 acres, most of it city-owned, and be built by Tri Pointe Homes.
The City Council has already signed off on the ambitious project, which will also include market-rate homes, a school, parks, 175,000 square feet of retail space and more than 200 acres of open space, according to project documents.
The proposal has received heat from nearby landowners, who say they were largely shut out of the planning process and denied a meaningful chance to weigh in before the project advanced.
The development would also require portions of the area to be rezoned because it overlaps with protected habitat. Tri Pointe is now working with federal wildlife officials to determine how the massive housing project can move forward without violating environmental laws, NBC San Diego reported.
Landowners are terrified that the city’s new lines on the map will kill future opportunities on their own turf. But supporters of the plan argue it would add housing units that San Diego very much needs.
Stop Paying These People!
According to the California Post:
Los Angeles City Council members earning nearly a quarter of a million dollars per year want to only meet one day per week as the city faces growing crises.
The council — whose base salaries start at $245,255 and can climb as high as $270,389 — voted 12–0 on June 30 in favor of putting on the November ballot a measure slashing the City Charter’s minimum requirement.
One member of the 15-member council, Monica Rodriguez, walked out in protest, while two others were absent for the vote.
One of those pushing the change, Katy Yaroslavsky, moaned she was always working — whether it was in City Hall, in her district or “doing dishes and vacuuming at home.”
But critics were quick to leap on the proposal. Councilwoman Rodriguez claimed her fellow members were just being lazy and saying it will be hated by the public.
The idea surfaced in early 2024, when Councilwoman Eunisses Hernandez suggested scaling back to one meeting a week and pointed to the LA County Board of Supervisors, which meets regularly on Tuesdays, as a possible model.

So Much for Affordability
According to the California Post:
California shoppers could soon be paying even more at the checkout line as a sweeping new state recycling measure threatens to send grocery prices soaring, with dairy manufacturers warning some businesses may be forced to shut down or flee the Golden State.
Senate Bill 54 is now entering its first phase of implementation, with companies expected to receive their first bills as early as next month, reported SFGATE.
The measure aims to reduce landfill waste by making manufacturers financially responsible for the packaging they sell after it is thrown away.
It charges companies impact fees on products they sell while also requiring them to phase out packaging that cannot be adequately reused, recycled or composted.
The dairy industry says it stands to be among the hardest hit because many of its products rely on packaging that does not currently meet the measure’s requirements.
CalRecycle, however, estimates the impact will be far smaller, projecting households will pay between $57 and $190 more annually based on data from the California Department of Finance.
Supporters say those added costs are outweighed by shifting the financial burden of packaging waste from taxpayers to the companies that produce it.
This is Why They Won’t Leave!
