David
Spade called out the shocking reality in California: despite spending
over $20 billion (with some estimates even higher) on homelessness
programs in recent years, the crisis has continued to worsen with more
people on the streets. Lawmakers passed a bipartisan bill (AB 2903)
unanimously in both the Assembly and Senate that would have required
basic transparency through annual public reports and audits tracking
exactly where the taxpayer money was going. Governor Gavin Newsom vetoed
it — and has blocked similar audit efforts before.
Spade highlighted
the frustration so many Californians feel: residents pay high taxes,
yet massive sums disappear into the homelessness industrial complex with
little accountability or results. Instead of openness, the veto keeps
the books closed while the problem grows.
Is this coincidence or coordination?
That’s
the question many Americans are now asking after longtime Obama
strategist David Axelrod was spotted meeting with Pope Leo XIV at the
Vatican just days before the Chicago-born pontiff ramped up his
criticism of President Donald Trump and U.S. policy.
