It’s not a very popular “Republican” thing but I am a proud co-author of this measure (so are others).

Yes, I know local governments hate it. It’s going to cost money. But on the flip side, worker’s comp claims are much more expensive and you get no work.

I will die on a hill saying we can’t have firefighters, police officers, correctional officers, etc working in the field until they’re 57. It’s stupid. It’s unsafe. And it will certainly cost local govts money in worker’s comp claims.

I point out to @XavierBecerra that CA has the nation's highest poverty rate, gas prices, housing costs & most homeless people.

"Are Democrats in charge of this state doing a good job?"

"We could do better, no doubt. But we are the 4th largest economy in the world."

Is there a specific policy change he'd make as Governor?

"We'll get things done..."

He says he'll "build more housing."

We've been asked a lot how we got our story about the sexual assault allegations against Eric Swalwell. @demianbulwa wrote about the fundamental acts of journalism, not opposition research, that unearthed this scandal: https://t.co/5u9gU6xg86

[Michael Trujillo @mikehtrujillo]

I am sort of shocked the number of stories reporters are currently working on post Swalwell collapse in the CA governors race. Free advice, don’t endorse anyone yet, CTA is going to be holding the bag twice.

Support survivors.
Believe survivors.
We are with you.

Thank Donald Trump for the prices you see when filling up your tank.

@mickakers @AviatorsLV 🤣🤣🤣🤣 feel good to be his lackey??? Doing another man’s bidding????

[dammitbrad @baadb_rad]

Why then is literally ever other state cheaper????

[Governor Newsom Press Office @GovPressOffice]

No, you ding dong. This is because of Trump’s war with Iran.

Average gas prices in California have stayed below $5 for nearly two years — until now.

[Sacramento Sheriff @sacsheriff]

SENTENCED TO THREE LIFE TERMS: WHY WAS SERIAL CHILD MOLESTER DAVID FUNSTON GRANTED EARLY RELEASE?

The people of Sacramento, and every parent across California, deserve answers.

The California Parole Board has granted parole to David Allen Funston, a serial child molester who used candy and toys to lure children seven years old and younger.

He was convicted of 16 counts of kidnapping and child molestation. Multiple young children were victimized, some as young as four years old. He was sentenced to more than 20 years in prison, along with three additional consecutive sentences of 25 years to life. A judge described him as “the monster parents fear the most.”

Yet today, the parole board has determined he is suitable for release. How do they explain that to those children and their parents? How do they tell families that a predator of this nature is “no longer a risk”?

Under California’s Elderly Parole Program, inmates over 50 are eligible for parole. He is 64. Age does not erase predatory behavior. It does not undo grooming. It does not restore stolen childhoods. Childhood sexual predators do not suddenly become safe because they turned 50; they cannot be rehabilitated.

Most states exclude heinous crimes like this from elderly parole. California does not.

Today, a survivor bravely spoke about what this decision means. Detective Rodriguez, who worked this case, knows firsthand what this man was capable of and how he was caught.

The Elderly Parole Program was meant for those who no longer pose a danger. In cases like this, it fails. Our number one responsibility is to protect children. That should never be controversial or partisan.

Protecting children is not rhetoric. It is common sense. Protect children first. Always.

[Richard T. Estrada @BlackHatFootbal]

Here’s the bad news: Black Hat Football’s founder Richard T. Estrada died of a massive heart attack this Sunday morning.

The good news is that Saturday night he had picked his 209 Black Hat Football Players of the Year for 2025.

Anybody who knew The Hat knew he had terrible handwriting. But thanks to the help of his friend and long-time sports writing colleague Will DeBoard (the CIF Sac-Joaquin Section’s current assistant commissioner), his messy notes were transcribed.

Estrada launched Black Hat Football in December 2012, and this is his 14th and final high school football team of the year for the 209 area code.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

If these sociopaths have to sit more than 3 months without a new US war or bombing campaign, they start getting bored and hungry, and go on TV demanding that more US wars start and more people get blown up for their amusement and sense of purpose and self-esteem.
