You ever try to code switch at work and fail? 😂

For the record: The Washington Post can go fuck itself.

The replies are ridiculous. Tom Steyer bought his way into the campaign w no experience in governing. We've had enough of these billionaires expecting to buy their way into higher office. @xavierbecerra.bsky.social has the experience and background California needs rn.

Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.

Campaign-style graphic with an orange textured background and the headline “Endorsements.” A banner reads “California State Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas.” Below, two columns list endorsing assemblymembers: David Alvarez, Joaquin Arambula, Juan Carrillo, Anamarie Ávila Farías, Mike Fong, John Harabedian, Stephanie Nguyen, Blanca Pacheco, Darshana Patel, James Ramos, Rhodesia Ransom, Celeste Rodriguez, Michelle Rodriguez, Blanca Rubio, Pilar Schiavo, Sharon Quirk-Silva, Jose Luis Solache, Catherine Stefani, Avelino Valencia, Lori Wilson, and Rick Chavez Zbur. At the bottom, silhouettes of a cheering crowd and a raised hand giving a thumbs-up appear above a small “Becerra for Governor” logo.

These Assemblymembers are standing with our campaign because they know what’s at stake. Their trust means everything—and I’ll work alongside them every day to protect the California Dream.

Aside from who started it, states like CA and VA putting a counter-gerrymander up to a referendum, where people are told and can make a decision on the context for why it's being done, has vastly more democratic legitimacy than state legislators rushing it through because they got bullied by POTUS.

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker has signed an executive order banning state employees from using insider info to bet on prediction market apps like Kalshi and Polymarket, warning the unregulated boom “opens the door to insider trading and abuse.”

Excellent video on Becerra and his recent campaign event in Los Angeles.

Xavier Becerra at LA Town Hall 4/18/26. Standing on stage speaking into microphone. Wearing blue suit and white shirt. US and CA flags are behind him.

I can’t fully articulate how calming & exciting it was to be at the Becerra Town Hall last Saturday. To feel relief and joy. It’s like we were all able to collectively breathe again. And find hope again. 💙

Good article. Thanks for posting.

What’s behind Xavier Becerra’s sudden surge in California’s governor’s race | Opinion The Democratic Party has become so data driven that it has lost connection with real people.

Excellent story and video segment from Mike Madrid of the Sac Bee.

And, for those who find Becerra "boring" - l don't, but I'm a bit of a political wonk - listen to and watch him from around the 9:00 mark. He speaks more heartfelt rather than in his usual more pedantic manner. It's very engaging.

Becerra ”raised more than $1 million on ActBlue, the top Democratic fundraising platform, in the week ending on April 18, making him the biggest fundraiser on the site in the nation.” <— 👀💕

“97% were first-time donors. This is not a donor base being recycled. It is a movement being born.” XB Spox

Becerra at the top for now. I like him a lot. Not into billionaires running our great state. Will be watching the debates to make a final decision.

Honored to have Speaker Robert Rivas join our movement!

Like so many Californians, Robert Rivas and I both come from immigrant families.

Thank you for your support, Mr. Speaker! Let's get to work and protect the California Dream.

Virginia! Today is the last day to vote in the redistricting referendum.

Make sure to vote YES.

Superpower Suicide The geopolitics of our moment

“Superpower Suicide” is a concept to help understand the approach of the Trump regime to the rest of the world. We are fighting a war for no reason we can name, losing it, and covering our defeat with genocidal and apocalyptic propaganda.

For himself?

This Isn't Trading. It's Theft from Your Retirement. Someone keeps making perfectly-timed bets right before the President speaks. The victims are your pension, your 401(k), and the country I took an oath to defend.

Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them.

“Debate Night in California: The Race for Governor”
🗓 April 22, 2026 ⏰ 7:00 PM PDT
📺 Televised gubernatorial debate.

Qualified (5%+ in Emerson/Nexstar poll):
•Steve Hilton (R)
•Chad Bianco (R)
•Tom Steyer (D)
•Xavier Becerra (D)
•Katie Porter (D)
•Matt Mahan (D)

Don’t miss!

The first debate is this Wednesday @7pm. We the CA people have an opportunity to see for ourselves who seems best for our great state.

Warsh hearing so far has been kind of frustrating. No one has asked the questions that seem most relevant to me:
1) is Trump's criminal investigation into Powell appropriate?
2) what would you do if Trump threatened retribution against you if he didn't like your actions/Fed policy decisions?

Anyway, at the risk of sounding like a weirdo who is too online--

I'm really grateful to y'all, Bluesky. We are strangers-- but not, as many of you have supported me through the WaPo firing, my fighting journeys, through my father's passing--

--and basically rebuilding my life at nearly 40.

Money for everyone but Americans. Meanwhile you get cuts to programs and higher gas prices.

Sen. Reed to Warsh: "I must commend you on the way you can circularly go around questions and not answer them. It's a skill. Unfortunately, it's not a good skill for the chairman of the Federal Reserve."

Before we all jump we have a chance to hear them. Just sayin’

There’s something mentally wrong with the President of the United States.

Shoutout to The Atlantic reporters for publishing these massive scoops instead of waiting years to put them in a book.

Are you in or near Contra Costa County?!

Come meet California gubernatorial candidate, Xavier Becerra, this Thursday, April 23rd in Concord, California at Salvio Pacheco Square from 5pm to 630pm.
