Calif. Gov. Newsom signs first-of-its-kind executive order to strengthen AI protections and responsible use in the State #AIguardrails #CAGOV #AIprotections #IPlaw @governor.ca.gov californianewswire.com/calif-gov-ne...
They really learned absolutely nothing from the Talarico Steven Colbert debacle that ended up boosting him in the #TXSen race.?The same will happen to Swalwell in #CAGov if they even try to go forward with this
So what are the chances of a Dem lockout in #CAGov?
Dem strategist Paul Mitchell has a fun simulator. Right now, it gives Republicans roughly a 1 in 5 shot of finishing 1st and 2nd. ~20% might sound low, but that's a VERY real chance.

All told, a whopping 61 candidates are running for #CAGov. Of those, 10 are major candidates: 8 Democrats & 2 Republicans.
The Dems are all current & former officeholders and/or big names, which has helped fragment the party's primary vote.

Right now, Republicans Chad Bianco & Steve Hilton would both advance to the general. They lead in DDHQ's polling average of the #CAGov top-two primary, while Democrats Eric Swalwell, Tom Steyer & Katie Porter sit just behind them.

How Democrats could get 🔒locked out🔒 of the #CAGov general election.
A Dem lockout = a perfect storm involving the top-two primary system, a crowded field of middle-tier Democratic contenders & 2 prominent GOP candidates.

Gov. Gavin Newsom has not yet endorsed any of the many candidates who are running to be elected as the next governor of California, and maybe he will never endorse any of them. #CAgov.
He needs to be disqualified from running for #CAGov for stealing ballots. Unfortunately that will only cement his support with the conspiracy theorist red hats.
Just remember that priority #1 for both #CAGov Republicans is to make it past the primary. Trying to ensure an all-GOP runoff runs counter to that goal! x.com/SteveHiltonx...
Eric Swalwell, Katie Porter, and Tom Steyer are at 10%.
With Dem votes split across many candidates, there’s a risk two Republicans could take the top two spots. I’m urging the bottom four Democratic candidates to withdraw so Democrats can consolidate support.

A strip with major candidates running for the California Democratic Governors Race: Who will drop out? Each candidate says "I'm not going to drop out" with the final panel showing Hilton and Bianco, the Republican candidates smiling and saying "Don't drop out!"
As usual @jackohman.bsky.social nails it
#CAgov
Regardless of the June 2nd primary results, there must be serious talks about passing a ballot initiative repealing Top-Two, which was authored by a GOP official and challenged numerous times by 3rd parties. Acceptable alternatives include ranked choice voting & the primary system used in 2002–10.
to vote the weekend before or even on Election Day in June. Just to make sure my vote goes to a candidate with the best shot to win.
#CAGov
If you're looking into the #CA #Governor #CAGov race... remember, no matter how normal he seems, Mayor ED209 Matt Mahan is backed by Palantir money.
I’m going LIVE on Instagram tonight at 8pm PT.
Tonight’s #CAGov debate might have been cancelled, but Californians still deserve to hear how I’ll fight for you as Governor. Tune in tonight!
Counterpoint: We should focus our efforts on bullying STEYER out of the race.
Mahan, Yee, and the others are polling so low that one of them dropping out might not stop a top-two lockout.
If Steyer dropped out and endorsed Porter or Swalwell, we'd almost certainly avoid a lockout. #CAGov #Calipoli
Poll of the California governor race showing two Republicans in first and second followed by three Dems with a chance and several other Dems with no chance
Villaraigosa, Yee, Becerra, Mahan and Thurmond need to drop out of #CAGov and they need to drop out now. I'm this close to starting to bully specific individuals I know affiliated with these politicians.
Yes, a debate was canceled over diversity/equity/inclusion reasons.
No, candidates of color can't diversity/equity/inclusion their way into actually winning #CAGov. They've been trying.
Short 🧵on the late night cancelation of the #CAGov debate, less than 24 hours before it was supposed to happen at USC tonight. Link to story here to handle the FAQs www.latimes.com/california/s...
Villaraigosa, Yee, Becerra, and Thurmond are not going to happen in #CAGov and I think it's kind of embarrassing that California legislators are spending more time trying to make them happen than to push them out of the race.

Please repost! Keep this guy out of CA Governor’s office - already abusing power and looking for excuses to invalidate elections! #CAGov #ICE #BlueCrew #resist #Epstein
Dear @KatiePorter @EricSwalwell @XavierBecerra @Antonio4CA
@BettyYeeCA @TonyThurmond @TomSteyer @MattMahanSJ
With 2 GOP candidates leading, it’s vital some of you drop out.
We’ll remember who put the people first.
We don’t need a #GOP lapdog rolling over for Trump.
#CAGov
My dear, precious California Democrats and progressives. WE CANNOT HAVE THIS PERSON AS OUR GOVERNOR. #CAGov apnews.com/article/cali...
It should give Californians some pause on what’s going on with the Debates.
Algorithmic bias doesn’t just apply online.
We should all be holding USC and Christian Grose accountable.
We are a state, not a social media platform.

@cademocrats.bsky.social take your corporate thumb off the #CAGov race. Get all 8 Dems seen, heard statewide. Voters need to decide. Don't let Mike Murphy & his billionaires decide who wins 😟 #XavierBecerra @bettyyeeforca.bsky.social

California’s “Trump Tax Loophole” is a billionaire-friendly tax break that lets the wealthiest commercial property owners avoid paying taxes based on what their properties are actually worth. It traces back to Proposition 13, which was promoted as a way to protect homeowners from being taxed out of their homes when values rise. This law has been exploited to generate massive corporate tax giveaways, including an estimated $200 million windfall at Trump’s 555 California Street building in San Francisco. By including commercial and industrial property, the law created a system that billionaire and corporate landowners exploit to lock in artificially low tax bills for decades—even while their buildings skyrocket in value and generate enormous profits.
Say what you want about the #CAGov clown car primary, but billionaire/ self-proclaimed "class traitor" Tom Steyer rebranding Prop 13 as the "Trump Tax Loophole" is an interesting rhetorical move.
I wonder why nobody else is taking a page out of his playbook. (h/t @jdcmedlock.bsky.social)
1/California gubernatorial primary is in June. Yet Democrats are still out here splitting the vote with no end in sight. #CaGov
If you’re not polling at 10% or more, time to drop out. We need a progressive to head off a corporate Dem, not a crowded mess handing CA to the GOP.
