@marcjoffe @jcb10 Thanks for your input! You can read more about our methodology here, and more in-depth information in the Hoover Institution’s paper that lays out the metric calculations and scaling. 5/5 https://t.co/wCri5ufJpl

@marcjoffe @jcb10 Ultimately, GO bonds are one factor that only affects two out of ten scoring metrics comprising the overall fiscal health score. 4/5

California's State Superintendent, instead of focusing on fixing declining proficiency rates among Californian students, proposes building housing for teachers — ignoring his actual job.

A new plan to build state-sponsored teacher housing in California is bound to fail. https://t.co/1MxFAVaRRU via @AndrewDav18

California has $1.6 billion dollars in debt at both state and local levels. The State Auditor decided to scrub their website of any high-risk cities to cover up financial transparency.

A fantastic article from @AndrewDav18 in @ocregister

@billessayli Official Vote Tally:❗️

[Ashley Zavala @ZavalaA]

BREAKING: California lawmakers in Assembly Elections center block bill that would prohibit the use of NDAs in lawmaking negotiations.

Most Democrats on committee would not vote, except for the leader of the committee, Gail Pellerin, who voted no.

Repubs were the only AYEs

California Democrats use a "Dark Money" program to funnel money through remote northern county central committees. I uncovered how this program operates to mask the union's outsized role in legislative races and pay-to-play lobbying in my latest report.

Yesterday, @lancelands & @maribarke were honored to host @hamill4pv in a discussion on censorship & transparency in Los Angeles County. The conversation is worth your time, especially if you are concerned about California govts' assault on free speech.

Human trafficking of a minor is not considered a serious felony in California. Let that sink in.

What’s worse, the Assembly Public Safety Committee doesn’t think it should be.

[Andrew Davenport @AndrewDav18]

It was a pleasure to have the 27th US National Security Advisor, Robert O’Brien, join @PepperdineSPP to discuss current national security issues we face from China, Russia, and Iran. @KironSkinner is doing an amazing job preparing us for the situation room.

[Marco Rubio @marcorubio]

Over the next 3 days #China’s temper tantrum over #Taiwan will remind us that how while civilian leaders at @DeptofDefense focused on transgender rights,hosting drag queen shows & enforcing vaccine mandates,Beijing was focused on new missiles & launching two aircraft carriers
