ABC10 meteorologist Rob Carlmark exited X in 2025, but every year since 2020 I’ve reshared his post from June of that year, imploring people to be kind to one another. I found his tweet via the @waybackmachine since his account - and therefore this post - is no longer visible.
I asked @CAgovernor if he has any concerns the latest developments in the case has potential implications for him and gubernatorial candidate @XavierBecerra
Newsom said no implications for himself whatsoever
As for Becerra — who continues to be attacked in the gubernatorial race over the federal corruption case — Newsom said Becerra will have to answer the question himself
BREAKING: A member of @ericswalwell's senior staff tells @ABC10@TheAlexBell_ most staffers on both the campaign and congressional sides are resigning. They say any decision by staff to remain on the Swalwell team in the interim "should not be viewed as support for Eric Swalwell."
Below is the full statement by senior staff, first provided to ABC10 --
“As leaders of teams working for Eric Swalwell, we’re horrified by the recent reporting in the San Francisco Chronicle and by CNN.
We stand with our former colleague, and the other women who have come forward. We believe you should stand with them, too.
The behavior detailed in these reports is abhorrent, beneath the dignity of those serving in public office and betrays the trust of all Californians.
We also understand that we lead teams who need guidance and stability now, more than ever. We are focused on supporting our colleagues during this challenging time.
Any decision of staff members to remain in their roles in the interim should not be viewed as support for Eric Swalwell. We recognize that not everyone — in particular our junior staff — can immediately forfeit their income and benefits without significant personal risk or consequence. Our responsibility now is to them.
We, more than he, understand that we have obligations to the people we lead and to the constituents of California’s 14th Congressional District. Those of us that remain on staff do so for the sole purpose of ensuring that as many of those obligations are fulfilled as possible.”
– Senior staff, Office of California’s 14th Congressional District
– Senior staff, Eric Swalwell for Governor 2026
The farm workers movement and a labor movement are much bigger than one man.
@JenSiebelNewsom and I stand with the courageous women, like Dolores Huerta, who have stepped forward after decades of concealing pain and abuse.
We're for justice. We're for truth. We're for transparency. And we will have the backs of these survivors.
@iGardon@georgeandrews@jenny_huh Wasn't arguing inaccessibility. Was making the point that when there aren't a lot of general, non-event-related press availabilities, then there are necessarily going to be off-topic questions. Which the Governor fields. Which others at the press conference took issue with.
@iGardon@georgeandrews@jenny_huh And to be fair, the Governor takes these off-topic questions. We are surprised that others with him at the podium today seemed upset at the questions journalists were asking.
@iGardon@georgeandrews@jenny_huh Our count is 5 in the last 8 days, but that's beside the point. When most of the Governor's press avails are tied to events (bill signings, announcements, etc.), there should be a very reasonable expectation that journalists will take the opportunity to ask off-topic questions.
BREAKING: WH responds to @GovPressOffice saying he was uninvited "under pressure from the White House" --
“No one in Davos knows who third-rate governor Newscum is or why he is frolicking around Switzerland instead of fixing the many problems he created in California.”
