Eric Jones touts his progressive creds, then shamelessly courts Republicans. CA Congressional district 4 — do not fall for another flip flopper. Let's learn from the others. We do not need another Fetterman/Sinema/Manchin/Stevens in Congress!

@sacbee_news This is highly irresponsible journalism — publishing results of a campaigns own commissioned internal polls?!? Might as well just publish every press release issued by the Jones campaign. This is a low point for the Bee. Totally embarrassing.

[Roberta Millstein @cepaea.bsky.social @Cepaea]

@sacbee_news In two polls PAID FOR BY THE JONES CAMPAIGN, as it mentions in the body of the article.

Those who are feeling, "no worries, Thompson will win" need to get their votes for Thompson in.

Anyone needing background on why Jones is a bad candidate—see this: https://t.co/4Q0E5dFfoC

@greggiroux Maybe the even bigger part of the story is political neophyte Jones, recent Dragoneer partner, dumping $15M of his own Silicon Valley venture capital 💰 into the race + mostly out-of-district large donors + a Dragoneer associated Super PAC funding only Jones with over $5M. 🤔

[Mike Thompson for Congress @Mike_CA05]

Our opponent in the race has stooped to new lows with his latest ad that makes false, unsubstantiated claims and even uses unauthorized images of former staff. Politics is divisive enough right now without people making up stuff and using imagery without people’s permission.

[Andrew Solender @AndrewSolender]

A group of ex-Thompson aides writes to the Jones campaign asking that this ad be taken down because it contains "a photograph of us, used without our knowledge or permission."

Also: "What we have heard him say is ... that he does NOT intend to die in office."

[Rob Pyers @rpyers]

The same SuperPAC is also running ads touting Jones's support for universal health care while hitting Thompson for being worth $10 million, which is a bit less than what Jones has put into his own campaign, per the latest finance reports.

New Leadership Now, a SuperPAC backing progressive populist Eric Jones in a D vs D race against #CA04's Mike Thompson, is running ads attacking Thompson as a 'liberal Democrat' backed by Gavin Newsom and Nancy Pelosi who supports sanctuary cities and voted against deportations in a fairly shameless attempt to attract GOP votes.

[Sue Greenwald @SueGreenwald]

@JulianAndreone But Jones, who's running against Thompson, is a "retired" venture capitalist whose massive war chest is backed by the new oligarchs of Big Tech/AI. Look at Jones' FEC filings and the SuperPAC backing Jones. This is coming from a Bernie progressive.

Is Eric Jones really a progressive Democrat? His maximum donation to a Bush family Republican, cousin to GW Bush, nephew of HW Bush, says otherwise. Jones is running to primary replace Mike Thompson for CD4.

Who is Eric Jones, the candidate seeking to unseat Mike Thompson in Congress?
April 19, 2026
And who is funding his campaign?

@BernieSanders Then why did Our Revolution endorse Eric Jones in CA's 4th Congressional District primary?

@typepad My blog is *still* down. That's a week, by my count. Typepad needs to get the remaining blogs back up and extend the amount of time before they go offline permanently.

[Roberta Millstein @cepaea.bsky.social @Cepaea]

@typepad Hoping that it's soon!

[philippeboucher @philippeboucher]

@clearlake @DunBradstreet That's an impressive acquisition. What about dumping Typepad after 20+ years of service to so many bloggers? Is that a decision you were part of? Don't you think there is a better and fairer way to proceed?

@kbackman @typepad Same situation here, and same question.
