Every year I tour around local Democratic clubs presenting on the ballot propositions. We've got 14 of them this year! If you're in Orange County and interested, come out to one of them (links in thread below).

I’d like to know what, if anything, the sheriff’s deputies did when they were told she had bought an illegal e-motorcycle for her 13 year old.

Screenshot of paragraph of LA Times article:

In June 2025, Mejer allegedly called deputies to complain that someone had posted pictures online of her son, then 13, riding an e-motorcycle. Mejer told deputies at the time that she had purchased the Surron motorcycle for her son.

Incidentally, you can still buy this wallpaper from the foyer. The original manufacturer still makes the pattern.

From our most recent visit to a NPS site, Lindenwald, the home of Martin Van Buren. We had a great tour from one of the rangers there.

Even where we still have access to public lands, Trump and the Republicans are worsening the experience and undermining our ability to experience our country’s natural beauty.
