Broeske and Musson

Amid revelations that Assemblymember Joaquin Arambula spent a month in rehab for alcohol and marijuana addiction, he abruptly skipped a scheduled Sacramento news conference, offering no explanation as organizers were informed “minutes prior” he wouldn't attend. Meanwhile, Fresnoland’s conspicuous silence on Arambula’s scandals has raised eyebrows due to the outlet’s deep financial and organizational ties to the Arambula family, including his brother serving on its board.

Jeff Aiello sits in for John Broeske.

California’s top‑two primary system means only the two highest vote‑getters advance to November, regardless of party. With 10 candidates on the ballot — 8 Democrats and 2 Republicans — the Democratic vote could split into small fragments, creating a real chance that both Republicans finish ahead of any single Democrat. Democratic leaders have publicly warned that the crowded field could “carve up” the vote and allow an all‑GOP general election, a scenario they tried unsuccessfully to prevent before the filing deadline closed.

California gas prices are climbing sharply as the Iran war pushes crude oil above $100 and disrupts global supply routes, including the vital Strait of Hormuz. The state is hit even harder due to refinery closures, strict environmental fuel standards, and long‑standing energy policies that reduced in‑state production and increased reliance on imported oil. Prices have surged to around $4.81–$5.20 per gallon, with experts warning they could rise further as seasonal summer‑blend fuel requirements kick in.

Fresh court filings show Assemblymember Joaquin Arambula spent a month in an inpatient alcohol and marijuana rehab program during January 2026, stepping away from the Capitol while navigating a divorce and escalating personal pressures. In his declaration, Arambula stated: “Recognizing that I was having difficulty dealing with the stress of my occupation and the demands made on me, I voluntarily entered an inpatient rehabilitation program on Jan. 7, 2026. The program was designed to provide me with the skills necessary to cope with that stress.”

The San Joaquin River Parkway & Conservation Trust is hitting the brakes on using compost made from human remains at Sumner Peck Ranch after public outcry and warnings from county and state officials. Local leaders called the practice illegal under current California law, while the Picayune Rancheria of the Chukchansi Indians condemned it as deeply disrespectful to their ancestral homeland along the river.

INTERVIEW: Joe Basile, Pastor of First Street Church and Saturday KMJ Host of the Joe and Lisa Basile Show, discusses Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico stirring up a theological and political firestorm after resurfaced remarks claiming “God is both masculine and feminine and everything in between… God is nonbinary.” Originally delivered during a 2021 floor speech, the comments have gone viral again as conservatives blast the claim and supporters defend it as inclusive theology.
