What a resume, and I forget he was in the assembly, and during the racist Wilson era of prop 187 and 8.
Far more qualified than ANY democrat.
I'm sure Porter will scream rigged, as with Schiff, when she looses. But, she doesn't have this resume.
Yes—we California Dems need to get united and support Becerra. He is well versed in the laws, has sued the orange felon repeatedly, and is a fighter.
This National Library Workers Day, we celebrate the library workers who fight every day for fair wages, safe workplaces, and the resources our communities deserve. From protecting access to knowledge to standing up for public services, their work is essential and benefits us all.

“I can tell you, as somebody who has been a natural resources trustee, who has had to negotiate with copper companies in my own state, that this type of copper mining has never been done without polluting the water. Never, not once,” he said in a floor speech before the vote.

Seems like Trump’s only path. He walks away. Pretends he won. Tries to change the subject.
Congressional insider trading & dark money were already blights on our flailing democracy. Letting government
officials “bet” on policy outcomes or worse, warfare, is a recipe for disaster.
Thank you for standing up against prediction market corruption, Governor Pritzker

BREAKING: TACO TUESDAY: Donald trump delays ethnic cleansing and war crimes again by extending the ceasefire indefinitely.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved Merck's once-daily, oral, combination regimen for HIV infections, the drugmaker said on Tuesday, giving patients another treatment option to manage the condition.
While you’re paying for this Administration’s unauthorized war and watching your costs skyrocket, the Trump family is expanding its business empire and pocketing hundreds of millions of dollars.

Sen. Jack Reed to Warsh as he dodges questions about divesting his assets: "Excuse me. 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 Fed."
I asked X, Paramount, ABC, and Meta where their donations to Trump's Presidential Library went. None of them could give a clear answer.
