@KarenBassLA carves out the middle lane with comments even @spencerpratt would have appreciated (btw.. can someone explain the duck?) And @realDonaldTrump seems to have softened up a bit now that the @calgop has a someone to lead down-ballot candidates in November. @NBCLA

“Kamala 28” not really exciting donors: “I have not heard one person suggest it would be good for anything if she ran. We are looking for someone fresh and not imposed on the voters”. Great piece by @juhidoshi_

@nithyavraman campaign went under the media radar. Clearly effective with a significant part of the Democratic electorate. This will be an interesting Fall campaign @nbcla

BREAKING: Nithya Raman surges to an 80% chance to advance in the LA Mayor election

Xavier Becerra is now set up to become the first Latino Governor of California since Romualdo Pacheco of Santa Barbara in 1875 @NBCLA Pacheco was the states 12th Governor and the first one to have been born in the state. A true “Californio”.

[Conan Nolan @conanNBCLA]

Public Policy Institute poll @PPICNotes has @XavierBecerra in 1st 8 points ahead of @TomSteyer. So I was confused with this from
Steyer campaign saying HE was leading candidate. Then I read the fine print: “Public Policy POLLING”Crafty. @NBCLA

LA Mayoral candidate @spencerpratt says he decided to run after speaking with @RickCarusoLA Says campaign has nothing to do with national or state politics but focused on quality of life in his native city @NBCLA https://t.co/REeG8xJKmI

CA Gubernatorial candidate @TomSteyer on Zoom call says he is organizing an alternative debate for tonight at 5:30 following the last minute cancellation of the USC/ABC event. Details TBA. Venue is in DTLA 5:30. Says he is still trying to get all candidates to attend @NBCLA

[Conan Nolan @conanNBCLA]

California legislative leadership not happy with the USC/ABC Gubernatorial Debate tomorrow. Sends letter this evening demanding the four candidates left out (Becerra, Villaraigosa, Yee and Thurmond) be included. If not, they will call on all voters/viewers to boycott @NBCLA

[Conan Nolan @conanNBCLA]

@ZavalaA @lsanchez020 @WeAreCTA Ashley! Congratulations and welcome to the Los Angeles Market! It’s about time the rest of CA gets to see your skill and tenacity! Good luck!

"I don't think we should be talking about the future of LA in the context of friendship and betrayal, we need to be talking about the issues that are facing us." Nithya Raman in her first sit-down interview as LA Mayoral candidate @NBCLA

In federal court US DOJ attacks CA law banning police from using masks as a clear effort to “regulate” the federal government and thus a violation of the supremacy clause of the Constitution. Judge Christina Snyder takes the case under submission @NBCLA

@Ken_Rosenthal Wow

[Conan Nolan @conanNBCLA]

@MayorOfLA enlists Marine vets, including CA state Sen @CarolineMenjiv3 to demand end to deployment of US troops to LA. Calls it a waste of time. Nothing for them to do.
Army vet and valley Chamber Pres Stuart Waldman : “this is overkill, unnecessary and needs to stop”@NBCLA

[Conan Nolan @conanNBCLA]

As Governor Gavin Newsom prepares to address the six month anniversary of the fire in Altadena… unhappy residents of that community want to meet with him regarding the cleanup. Start to protest in front of the assembled Media. @NBCLA

[Conan Nolan @conanNBCLA]

Respect for our participatory democracy requires respect for those who participate. This kind of pomposity sullies the reputation of the California legislature and its leadership. https://t.co/3SpnLaApXx

Veep says LA “rioting is better” but apparently the city has already been “destroyed”. Blames everything on Gov and Mayor but at least he got their names right. https://t.co/Dhn0gh3Gaj via @YouTube

Sen. Padilla placed in handcuffs in this video:

[Conan Nolan @conanNBCLA]

Stunning. Sen Alex Padilla (D) California was just forcefully removed from the news conference being held by DHS Kristi Noem in Westwood. Senator attempted to interrupt Noem. He was handcuffed in the hallway according to @brittanyhopetv @NBCLA
