REDSTATE (Jennifer Oliver O'Connell) - As James Talarico Remains Absent From the Campaign, Legacy Media Plays Captain Obvious on His Lies

The James Talarico Show appears to be coming to a grinding halt. Texas' Democrat candidate for the U.S. Senate has been missing from the campaign trail for 13 days now, with indications that his campaign staff is melting down on how to spin it. First, it was that he had to be rushed to urgent care and was suffering a bad bout of flu. However, the day he claimed to be in urgent care for the flu, evidence showed him in New York fundraising.

What contradictory information was released regarding James Talarico's whereabouts during his 13-day absence from campaigning?
The campaign staff initially stated that Talarico was suffering from the flu and required urgent care. However, this claim was contradicted by evidence showing that he was actually in New York fundraising during the time he was reported to be seeking medical attention.

STONEZONE (Roger Stone) - Newsom Picked a Fight with Trump and Hid Behind a 2028 Tax Date

Gavin Newsom signed a 25% tax on private detention operators on September 29, 2026, and called it protection from President Trump’s “Orwellian” immigration tactics. It is a press release. The bill does not name ICE. In California, the operators it taxes are the ones running ICE facilities. Fox News reported that all eight ICE detention centers in the […] The post Newsom Picked a Fight with Trump and Hid Behind a 2028 Tax Date appeared first on StoneZone .

Gavin Newsom signed a 25% tax on private detention operators on September 29, 2026, and called it protection from President Trump’s “Orwellian” immigration tactics. It is a press release . The bill does not name ICE. In California, the operators it taxes are the ones running ICE facilities. Fox News reported  that all eight ICE detention centers in the state are privately run. The tax also covers a state or local private detention contract. It does not take effect until July 1, 2028. Newsom will be gone. The next governor inherits the bill, and the fight. Assembly Bill 1633 , by Matt Haney of San Francisco, takes 25% of an operator’s California-source gross income starting July 1, 2028. The bill defines that income as gross…Open

How does the revenue from AB 1633 compare to other California infrastructure and social projects?
The revenue from the tax does not go toward the high-speed rail line, roads, schools, or homelessness initiatives. Additionally, the tax does not backfill federal funds that California lost, such as the $4 billion in high-speed rail grants terminated in July 2025, the $3.1 billion in clean-energy awards cancelled in October 2025, or the $350 million in Department of Education grants for minority-serving programs ended in fiscal 2025.

What other legislation was signed alongside AB 1633 in the September 29, 2026, package?
In the same package signed on September 29, 2026, Newsom signed companion bills that included a "shock-glove" ban, requirements for more oversight, and a ban on using state parking lots to stage immigration arrests. These are distinct from the provisions of AB 1633.
Q&A ID 0a9bf6a0-f529-4be4-85fd-b5b0454d1fcc
Which specific facilities in California are targeted by the tax on private detention operators?
While the bill does not explicitly name ICE, it taxes the operators who run ICE facilities in California. According to reports from Fox News, all eight ICE detention centers in the state are privately run, meaning they fall under the scope of this tax. The tax also covers any state or local private detention contracts.
Q&A ID a9115dc6-f23f-4ea4-97eb-d2a854dd5e27
How is the 25% tax calculated for private detention operators in California?
The tax takes 25% of an operator’s California-source gross income derived from or attributable to the state. This is an additional levy on the gross income, as these operators already pay an 8.84% corporate tax on their net income. The bill includes some ambiguity regarding whether the tax applies to the current fiscal year or the prior fiscal year, as the legislative counsel's digest and specific sections of the bill provide slightly different instructions on the timing of the tax due date.
