we go live now to California Republicans for their reaction to the growing number of Democrats running for governor in California's Top Two primary
SCOOP: More Rep. ERIC SWALWELL news today — He's eyeing a bid for California governor, per 2 sources. He'd be up against Porter, Becerra & others in crowded Dem primary. 1 source said Swalwell could announce as early as next week. w/ @CarolLeonnig @MSNBC

The Capitol Annex continues to be shrouded in secrecy. This week @Patterdude and I called on the Governor to help us get access to updated project costs. Taxpayers deserve to know.
🧵Despite Gov. Gavin Newsom's criticism of the lack of transparency around the California Capitol Annex construction, project leaders still won't tell taxpayers how much it's costing. But I do have a few nuggets of new info... https://t.co/y4czXq0IMm

Cooley lost his seat in the 2022 election to Assemblyman @JoshHooverCA. He and @Patterdude sent a letter to Gov. Newsom this week, respectfully asking the governor to basically do what Joint Rules won’t…

Need this for sure. Not to stop the spread of COVID. But because my kids stink, yo.
AirFanta wearable air purifier goes viral here in China. Our daily stock sells out in under 30 minutes. The first users have theirs already—some tested it with sodium saccharin. So far, so good! We'll get the English edition printed ASAP and start shipping to the U.S., Canada,

Some people just don’t want to let it go. We moved on bro.
We’re now in the 6th year of the COVID-19 pandemic. ➡️ What began as a respiratory illness has evolved into something deeper — a prolonged impact on the immune system. This is what some call the ‘Leonardi Effect’, after immunologist @fitterhappierAJ ➡️ He warned early that

It took CA Dems 15 yrs to finally do it: ending independent redistricting.

Richard Pan wants to be an elected so bad that he literally doesn’t care where he represents. He’ll switch seats no problem.
NEW: Former state Sen. Richard Pan is switching to the redrawn 6th District, per a spokesperson for Pan’s campaign, avoiding a fight with the incumbent.

Imagine a county being split up 3 times so Dems could do their best to make sure their values aren’t represented in Congress.
NEW: Within minutes of Prop 50 passing, Rep. Ami Bera announces he’s running for California’s gerrymandered District 3 against Rep. Kevin Kiley. Dr. Richard Pan, also a Democrat, announced his candidacy for the seat a few weeks ago.

People that think this way and write articles like this are the same elite limosine liberals who drive climate policy in California.
Pets have a pretty sizable climate impact. But not all carbon...pawprints...are created equal. So if you’re looking to get a pet, which ones emit the least? And if you’ve already got one, how do you make sure it has the smallest foot (or paw) print? There are some options.

@Patterdude @carldemaio Thank you for this post and the picture! I recently interviewed Assemblymember DeMaio about his 70+ stops on #VoterID and #Prop50 across CA over the course of the last month.
VOTER ID: Republican Assemblymember @carldemaio (R-San Diego) has been traveling the state in this big yellow RV decorated with the words “CA VOTER ID INITIATIVE 2026.” The goal is to gather roughly 880,000 valid signatures by his deadline in early March to qualify a measure

We keep hearing about these #YesOnProp50 rallies. There have been dozens of #NoOnProp50 rallies - here is from one in Placer County. Hundreds of people and not a single open seat. Many more standing outside. I spoke at this rally which was led by @carldemaio

Politicians should not be in charge of drawing their own maps. That’s why we are urging our neighbors to defend independent redistricting and vote NO on Prop. 50 before it’s too late. If you haven’t already, get your ballot turned in by this Tuesday, November 4th!

Since Day 1, nearly 2 decades ago, the Democratic Party has opposed redistricting. Now they found messaging to convince you to allow them to disenfranchise voters to benefit the Party. This was always their desire. No chance they’re going to go back to independent redistricting
Elections should be decided by voters, not politicians rigging the game for Trump’s benefit. That’s why Prop 50 gives Californians the power to decide if we’ll push back, temporarily, and ensure fair representation across the country. I voted YES, and I hope you will too.

These dudes tweeting this have an issue with math. If you bought a $495,000 house as I did in 2013 and only put $50,000 down (as I did) - my home is now worth roughly $850,000. $355k increase in value on a $50,000 investment / total exposure. That’s over a 7x return on investment
