October 25, 2025 The latest AP–NORC national poll shows Donald Trump losing significant ground among Latino voters — a sharp warning sign for the former president as he leans into a second term defined more by controversy than coalition building. Only about one in four Hispanic adults (25%) now view Trump favorably, according to the survey released this week. That marks a steep decline from earlier in the year and represents one of the lowest ratings for any major voting bloc he carried partially in 2020.

By Brian Hews Publisher and Editor | Follow X October 25, 2025 I’ve lived in Orange for 22 years.

Tribal gaming associations in California have spent millions of dollars in recent years trying to force competitors out of business. In 2024, Tirbal gaming interests successfully lobbied the California Legislature and Governor Gavin Newsom to pass a bill, Senate Bill 549, which allows them to sue gambling operations in California. They won the right to sue based on their claim of exclusive rights to operate casinos in California.

By Brian Hews Publisher | Follow X October 21, 2025 For nearly a decade, California’s top law enforcement office has quietly worked both sides of the gambling table—taking millions from tribal casinos while punishing the legal cardrooms that sustain local cities. First, it was Xavier Becerra. Now, it’s Rob Bonta. Both attorneys general accepted major tribal campaign donations and then issued Bureau of Gambling Control regulations that could cripple cardrooms—destroying jobs, choking off city revenue, and protecting tribal casino monopolies in the process.
