Looks like #Fresno is going to have a battle of the Esmereldas in their state Senate race. Who will win? #SD14 #CASD14 #CaliPoli

You've gotta respect how petty Young Kim was with her ballot designation. #CA40 #calipoli

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

Five Democrats Kill War Powers Resolution to Rein in Trump on Iran The war powers resolution has officially failed in both the House and the Senate. Here are the names of the Democrats who voted against the measure.

Hey California, specifically San Diego:

Juan Vargas of #CA52 is one of the Dems in Congress who is enabling Trump's unlawful bombing of Iran.

We need a primary challenger. Filing deadline is tomorrow.

Anyone willing? @seanelorivera.bsky.social? #SanDiego #calipoli

.@rustyhicks.bsky.social Not only are conversations w/ one person easier to manage than negotiations with multiple people, but mathematically, a higher-polling candidate dropping out is more likely to stop a top two lockout.

Also, Steyer could use his money to support someone else. #calipoli #cagov

CA Dem chair @rustyhicks.bsky.social asks low-polling Democratic candidates to drop out of Governor race to prevent a top 2 lockout. #CAGov

IMO he's right. Hoping folks like @mattmahansj.bsky.social @bettyyeeforca.bsky.social @tonythurmond.bsky.social listen. #calipoli

Los Angeles County just posted their first post-Election Day update for California's #Prop50 election:

- ~91K votes added.
- ~72.5K Yes (79.6%)
- ~18.6K No (20.4%)

LA County moved from 72.0% Yes to 72.26% Yes.

With many votes left in big blue counties, the Yes margin might hit 66.7%! #calipoli

UPDATE: Polls closed in California almost 2 hours ago, #Prop50 is passing with over 64% voting Yes…and there are STILL people in line at the vote center in my liberal SoCal neighborhood waiting to cast Yes votes! 😂

I’m tempted to tell them it’s done…but I want Yes to hit 66%! #ElectionDay #calipoli

So the data supports a firm conclusion: right now, Yes is winning the #Prop50 election.

But a week remains before Election Day--enough time for dramatic changes.

Make sure your friends in #California vote Yes. And if you still have a ballot, return it with a Yes vote today! (4/4) #calipoli #capoli

One week until California's #Prop50 election. Things are looking good! #calipoli #capoli

Per data from PDI, 51% of the 4.4M mail ballots received so far have come from Dems & D return rate is higher than R.

For comparison, in 2024, 49% of ballots before E-Day were Dem. Harris won CA by 20%. (1/4)

Me, when five o'clock hits on this great day marking the passage of SB 79. #SB79 #calipoli #yimby

I was convinced Newsom would veto #SB79, but thankfully, he did not.

This law is a game changer for fighting the California housing crisis.

Along with the CEQA reforms enacted this summer, our state finally has a shot at building enough housing to keep up with demand. #calipoli #housing #yimby

It is done!

Ballot came in the mail today. Easiest vote I have ever cast.

Let’s do it, California! And thank you to Governor Gavin Newsom for making this happen! @gavinnewsom.bsky.social #Prop50 #VoteYes #Calipoli

US senator Alex Padilla criticizes ‘petty’ JD Vance for calling him ‘Jose’ ‘He knows my name,’ says California Democrat, as Newsom condemns US vice-president and challenges him to debate

Why do I feel like Vance didn't entirely evolve?

"In a world that is rapidly shifting toward renewable energy, [fossil fuel] investments are becoming too risky to keep."
