One of the reasons it takes so long to count the votes in California is that legitimate ballots can still arrive at election offices up until next Tuesday, June 9.
Until 2014, in California, officials had to receive mail ballots no later than Election Day. That year, the state altered the law allowing ballots postmarked by Election Day to be received up to three days later; in September 2021, governor Newsom signed into law an extension to seven days after Election Day. (In 2020, California temporarily changed its law to allow ballots to arrive 17 days after Election Day.)

Good morning! Where things stand as of this AM in Costa Mesa:

👀 As fallout continues over Graham Platner's sexually explicit texts, Janet Mills is reminding folks she's still on the ballot:
“People have the impression that I ‘withdrew’ or ‘dropped out,'” Mills (D) told @PressHerald, “but I simply suspended active campaigning. I am still on the ballot.”

🔥 AWESOME! President Trump just gave a BEAUTIFUL sendoff to outgoing DNI Tulsi Gabbard at today's cabinet meeting.
"She DRAMATICALLY reformed the Office of Director of National Intelligence and cut the staff by 40%. And she prevented COUNTLESS terrorists and cartel members from entering the United States."
"She exposed MOUNTAINS of evidence related to the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax. One of the, probably the greatest hoax in the history of our country."
"And she declassified numerous historic documents of special public interest, including related to the JFK and RFK assassinations, which everybody wanted to see. And we're now releasing a lot of things having to do with space."
"Tulsi, we're praying for you and for your husband. Her husband's not feeling great, but he's going to feel great soon." 🙏🏻
James Talarico: "I am proud to say that our campaign has officially become a non-meat campaign. We are only buying vegan products from our local vegan businesses." #TXsen
Great joining @BillMelugin_ and @MattWhitlock on @FoxNews to talk about the #MESEN contest and the Democratic challenger to Susan Collins. 🤦♂️

Logan, 26, owns two Ace Hardware stores.
Insane California regulations are now BANNING everyday products including paint, yard equipment and umbrellas. So his customers are going to ARIZONA to buy them:
Gavin Newsom is telling Californians to boycott Chevron because they're "ripping you off."
Today:
- Chevron, L.A. County CA: $6.39
- Chevron, Jackson County MS: $3.99
It's not the oil companies ripping us off in California, it's Gavin Newsom and the Democrats. Vote for change!
Tonight at 5 PM, the community is gathering outside the “Trump House” at East Mission Avenue and Buchanan Street in Escondido, California to support 69-year-old Army veteran Kerry Sheron and his family.
Sheron, the owner of the home known for its massive pro-Trump display, remains in critical condition in the ICU after being brutally beaten outside the house on Wednesday. His wife says there is no hope he will survive.
The gathering comes just days before Memorial Day.
I am deeply grateful for the trust President Trump placed in me and for the opportunity to lead @ODNIgov for the last year and a half.
Unfortunately, I must submit my resignation, effective June 30, 2026. My husband, Abraham, has recently been diagnosed with an extremely rare form of bone cancer. He faces major challenges in the coming weeks and months. At this time, I must step away from public service to be by his side and fully support him through this battle.
Californians, if you’re hitting the road this holiday weekend, be sure to AVOID Chevron.
Pro tip: unbranded gas comes from the same refineries, storage tanks, and pipelines, and it meets the same state standards to keep your engine running clean, even if it doesn’t have a fancy name like ‘Techron.’
Big Oil is already making billions off Trump’s Iran War; don’t let them rip you off even more by overpaying for the brand name.
New NYT poll:
“Nearly three-quarters of Democratic supporters now oppose military aid to Israel, up from 45 percent three years ago.
And nearly half of Democratic backers said the party was too supportive of Israel.”
