#teamsoria and I recently spoke to a group of Ag-Tech companies from all over the world to introduce them to Merced County @ucmerced.bsky.social 🚜 🌾🦾 #AgTech #caleg #agriculture #mercedcounty #soriasquad #mercedcollege
Many California state government reports are at agencyreports.ca.gov (Gov Code §10242.5).
Most such reports are terrible. #CALeg community: eliminate old reports, create only limited-term new reports & engage with departments to make fewer reports more useful! Help state workers do better reports.
2/We tried to address w. #AB1207 (23')—a landmark bill to curb youth-appealing #cannabis marketing. It passed #CALeg (but vetoed by @cagovernornewsom.bsky.social ).
We must:
✔️ Restrict flavors & youth-focused imagery
✔️ Limit lifestyle/“fun” marketing
✔️ Put health before profit

Can someone #CALeg pls put forward a bill to make it mandatory to provide “spouses” as a default articulated option (beyond “husband and wife” — and some don’t even have “wife and wife” or “husband and husband”) on property vesting / deed paperwork? Thx
PODCAST: In #caleg @lorenagonzalez.bsky.social was one of the most respected – & feared – members. She has brought her take-no-prisoners approach to @CaliforniaLabor , getting arrested at protests & sparring online with foes ranging from Elon Musk to centrist Dems

Today on #EqualPayDay, we’re reflecting on the generations of women led workforces who have faced intentionally low pay. Domestic workers have been fighting just to catch up since Emancipation. Our economy doesn’t work without us — it’s time for #CALeg to unite behind #AB1981.
Yesterday, California Sen. Henry Stern struck every single Endangerment Finding provision from SB 1266 and turned it into a theft bill. What's going on? #CAleg #GreenSky

This image follows the same quote-card design as the previous ones, with a dark blue textured background. At the top, “The Sacramento Bee” appears in large white serif text. Beneath it is a centered gold quotation mark icon, with thin gold lines extending horizontally on both sides. The main text is a paragraph in white, with several key phrases highlighted in bold red for emphasis. It reads: “During a Wednesday oversight hearing, assembly members expressed frustration with Newsom administration officials over the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation’s stubbornly large budget, which is effectively the same as was 20 years ago when the state’s prison population was twice as large.” The phrases “stubbornly large budget,” “same as was 20 years ago,” and “twice as large” are highlighted in red. Below the paragraph, the source is credited in white text as “William Melhado,” followed by “Sacramento Bee Journalist/Article Author.” In the bottom left corner, yellow text reads: “Full article: bit.ly/3-18sacbee.” In the bottom right corner, there is a teal speech-bubble-shaped logo with the word “CURB” in large white letters. Overall, the graphic summarizes a news report about legislative frustration with prison system spending, emphasizing comparisons between current budgets and past prison population levels.
This image is another quote-style graphic with a dark blue textured background, matching the style of the previous two. At the top, in large white serif text, it reads “The Sacramento Bee.” Beneath it is a centered gold quotation mark icon, flanked by thin horizontal gold lines. The main quote is displayed in large white text, with a key phrase highlighted in bold red. It reads: “At what point is it fair to continue to ask the Legislature to fund — I’ll use the nicest word possible — the inefficiencies of CDCR at the cost of not providing support for other parts of our system?” The phrase “inefficiencies of CDCR” is emphasized in red. A second line follows in white text: “Is it another ten years we should wait for that?” Below the quote, the speaker is identified as “Assemblymember Mia Bonta” with “D-Alameda” written underneath in smaller white text. In the bottom left corner, there is yellow text that reads: “Full article: bit.ly/3-18sacbee.” In the bottom right corner, there is a teal speech-bubble-shaped logo with the word “CURB” in large white letters. Overall, the graphic presents a critical question about continued funding and inefficiencies, with visual emphasis on the key phrase using red text.
![This image is another quote-style graphic with a dark blue textured background and a similar layout to the first. At the top, in large white serif text, it reads “The Sacramento Bee.” Beneath it is a gold quotation mark symbol centered between two thin horizontal gold lines.
The main body contains a quote in white text, with certain phrases emphasized in bold red. It reads: “[The state] awarded a $20 million contract to the Boston Consulting Group to find efficiencies in CDCR and other large state departments.” The phrase “$20 million contract” is highlighted in red.
A second paragraph continues: “The fact that we contracted $20 million, and we’re woefully short on what [savings] we were told it would result in. This was a failure in my opinion.” In this section, the phrases “we’re woefully short” and “failure” are highlighted in red.
Below the quote, the speaker is identified in white text as “Assemblymember Tom Lackey” followed by “R-Palmdale.”

My advice to lower polling candidates in CA gov race:
Drop out for the good of the party (which is actually true in this case, as CA could end up with a GOP governor)
And pivot to the white house

BIG news on social media companies found guilty of not keeping our kids safe! One lawsuit in Los Angeles found Meta and YouTube addict our kids ON PURPOSE, know it, don’t prevent it, and don’t warn us. And worst of all, they know it harms kids’ mental health. #caleg

Thanks to Teamsters 2010 for coming to testify for my bill AB 1818, which protects good union jobs at the CSUs! @teamsterslocal2010.bsky.social #CALeg
I authored SB 1199 to stop insurers from ignoring medication copay assistance. Now, if someone pays on your behalf, that amount MUST count toward your deductible. No more shell games, assistance should benefit the patient, not pad insurance profits. 💊🛡️
#SB1199 #HealthEquity #CAleg
Our power is in our numbers, and yesterday providers SHOWED UP— testifying in a #CABudget hearing and holding a press conference about our sponsored bill #AB1981 —all to make sure #CALeg hears us when we say it's time to pay providers the true cost of care.

Proposed legislation #AB1564 would create communication challenges in critical public services like water, sanitation, and fire protection, as routine workplace conversations could be misinterpreted and become mired in adjudication.

For so many of California's working families, child care subsidies are the only way they can afford care. But when there aren’t enough providers accepting subsidies in their neighborhoods, families are left scrambling. #CALeg #truecostofcare.
