Gavin Newsom is facing an expanding federal investigation involving travel, outside funding, and personal expenses, but the subpoenas reportedly do not identify a specific alleged crime. TJ Walker looks at what happens when investigators appear to start with a political target and work backward toward possible wrongdoing.Also on today’s Filtered with TJ Walker: an Ohio Republican Senate campaign hires, and quickly fires, a political director after reporters uncover Nazi imagery and Rhodesia-related material in his public history. TJ asks the obvious question: how does someone responsible for political judgment get hired without anyone checking his public profile?Then the show turns to something more optimistic: autonomous vehicles. With roughly 1.19 million people dying in road crashes each year globally, could robotaxis eventually save lives and return thousands of hours of commuting time to ordinary workers?And first, America’s retirement problem may be about more than Social Security. Retirees are reportedly watching about 47 hours of television every week. TJ argues that retirement should mean escaping work you hate, not abandoning purpose, usefulness, and human connection altogether.Subscribe to Filtered with TJ Walker for news, politics, technology, media criticism, and current events without the usual filter.#FilteredWithTJWalker #TJWalker #GavinNewsom #DonaldTrump #Republicans #GOP #FederalInvestigation #PoliticalNews #CaliforniaPolitics #AutonomousVehicles #Waymo #Robotaxi #Retirement #SocialSecurity #CurrentEventsFiltered with TJ Walker, TJ Walker, Gavin Newsom, Gavin Newsom investigation, Gavin Newsom federal investigation, Donald Trump, Trump Newsom, California politics, Republican Party, GOP news, John Husted, Ohio Senate, political scandal, Nazi imagery controversy, federal investigation, politicized justice, Department of Justice, autonomous vehicles, self-driving cars, robotaxi, Waymo, Zoox, road safety, AI cars, retirement, retirees, Social Security, retirement crisis, political satire, political commentary, current events, US politics
