Thirty ex-staffers of California gubernatorial candidate Katie Porter (D) are vouching for their former boss in a new letter, pushing back on concerns about her temperament raised by two video clips that show her speaking sharply to a staffer and a reporter.
Up for discussion on these two items? I’m not a staffer but I have been volunteering with her campaigns since the very beginning. If not, totally get it!
She’s had several already and I’m sure there will be more to come over the next few weeks.
His donor list is like the worst of the worst tech and crypto folks you can imagine.
Fantastic endorsement!
A lot of things after the loss to Schiff were blown out of proportion. I didn’t love her use of the word rigged but Schiff did play some dirty games and then a PAC swooped in and dropped more money than any candidate had just in anti-katie attack ads. Her point was that the system is screwed up.
Gotta keep the Lincoln Project grift going as long as possible!
I was barricaded at the Capitol on January 6th.
I saw Trump’s assault on our democracy firsthand. So I built a bipartisan organization to defeat election deniers across the country. We ended their careers & protected democracy.
I don’t just talk about standing up to Trump. I’ve done it, and won.
This is NOT FAIR. I was in Sacramento two weeks ago and saw absolutely no ducklings.
This is fantastic news! So happy for you and for the entire state of California.
If you’d like to help with some stuff online, I can hook you up! I’m not a paid staffer, just a volunteer who is trying her best over here.
Nope! And she never has.
Katie + Cottie = dream team! I’ve loved getting to canvass for two strong women candidates at the same time.
So grateful to earn the endorsement of Assemblywoman Petrie-Norris! We have long fought to bring down costs for California families, and I look forward to working with her as Governor.
He’s put something like $75,000,000 just in 2026! That is a disgusting amount of money that could actually go a long way to solving some of the issues he says he wants to solve instead of lining the pockets of marketing and advertising companies.
I am very biased on this front (was one of Porter’s original campaign volunteers back in 2018) but I don’t love that it feels like Steyer is buying the election. Every week it seems like he’s dumping $10,000,000 into buying ads that are absolutely saturating the state.
I have met Katie - many, many times - both as a neighborhood/school mom and as a campaign volunteer. She's one of the few people who I will leave my son with. I've been in and out of her house too many times to count and I've never seen her behaving as a monster.
Was just saying the same thing to my husband.
Mine barely looked up from the LEGO he was building.
All Bill Essayli Ls need to be celebrated.
I’m in
A baby great horned owl sits in a cardboard box. There is a blue towel in the bottom of the box and a bit of owl poop on the sides.
My parents have a palm tree in their yarn and a nesting pair returns every year. Last year we had to rescue an owlet that fell to the ground. It was so adorably uncoordinated.
I was also on a trip to Sacramento last week!
A few weeks ago I was in Hilo, Hawaii and the first morning there I dragged my entire family down to the farmers market. It took some convincing before my kiddo would try soursop and he loved it.
30 Rock is one of my all time favorites so I guess I have something new to check out. Thanks!
This is part of an exhibit called “Sean Kenney’s Brick Masters Studio”. It’s at the Nevada Discovery Museum in Reno.
Spotted some ducklings and had to get a video for @banditelli.org
I miss TWOP so much more than I ever thought possible.
The closest thing I’ve found for chatting about today’s news is the DuggarsSnark subreddit. It isn’t perfect but they always seem to know what’s going on.
Which bacon was the best? I had to zoom in to see the options.
Looking through his donor list is eye-opening. Its name after name of the worst tech bros around.
