Communications is infrastructure. Fmr Schwarzenegger, Brown, Harris. It is what it izabeth.

@GigaBeers Excuse me, but why do all those ballots have stamps on them? No stamp is required in California. Postage is prepaid. We don’t put stamps on our ballots.

[eashford @eashford]

Interesting to me that when CA voters are polled Affordability is the overwhelming top issue, but also voters just raised their own sales tax in LA: https://t.co/pXekLFQicD

@rpyers Dang.

[eashford @eashford]

Nobody should be shocked by @grahamformaine ‘s win. Flirting with Nazis and getting handsy with women isn’t a disqualifying event in US politics. If it was, Donald Trump wouldn’t be our president. Thank you for having me on @Elex_Michaelson.

The Westside got a taste of good governance with a results-oriented Democrat named Traci Park. Even though Traci’s 2026 candidate was stronger than in 2022, she crushed her. This is the model for the future of the Democratic Party, not DSA.

[eashford @eashford]

@RobStutzman Agree. @Grow_California is 8:8 right now

[eashford @eashford]

Never forget: This was in March. Republicans love a careful count too.

@SacPressClub @markzbarabak @LaurelRosenhall @juliewattsTV @akoseff @NikkiLaurenzo @ZavalaA @UCStudentPolicy I would pay to be able to watch this remotely from Los Angeles.

[eashford @eashford]

TY for having me @Elex_Michaelson to talk @XavierBecerra. Unbuckle your seatbelts, CA, #becerraera = steady hand at the wheel.

Last time I checked @ChadBianco wanted to hand count ballots, so eff the @CAGOP narrative that CA is failing. This is democracy, love it or leave it.

****MOST IMPORTANTLY, Elex explains the extraordinary transparency in California when it comes to ballot counting and how it's open to the public ***

@RobertRivas_CA was on the road a lot for @XavierBecerra over the past month…it's been fun + a privilege to watch his endorsement help build momentum for XB's campaign. Also a humbling reminder that my photography skills are, despite years of this work, nil. Professional v. Me:

@DanielNMiller Backstage the donut game is strong

I’m not a needy person but is it too much to ask that Siri understand that Javier is spelled Xavier in all my voice-to-texts? All of them. Like AI, kick in here. Help a gal out. @XavierBecerra

[Speaker Robert Rivas @CASpeakerRivas]

Still pumped from yesterday’s rally in Long Beach in support of @XavierBecerra for Governor.

California, return your ballot via official dropbox or in-person at any official polling place or voting center before tomorrow at 8pm. Let’s do this!

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas

CA Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas dunking on billionaire Tom Steyer as he stumps for Becerra in the primary homestretch:

[Justin Gordon @Justin_G0rd0n]

This actually looks worse than most of Pratt’s AI videos.

[eashford @eashford]

This story is brutal, but not a surprise. To win the Governor’s office, you have to have a ground game, authentic momentum, and people clamoring for you to run and win. It’s staging an opera, not presenting a slide deck.

[Mercury News @mercnews]

The developments add to a difficult final stretch for Mahan, who remains behind several Democrats and Republicans competing for two November runoff spots. https://t.co/j9DUgNtWc3

For years, Stephen Colbert's humor, wit, and satire have reminded us that democracy works best when no one is above scrutiny.

Thank you for making us laugh, think, and stay engaged!

My main takeaway from the @politico event is that the @warnerbros @ParamountPics merger is going to be a total disaster for LA jobs and everyone hopes @AGRobBonta puts the brakes on it.

Writer and comedian @adamconover railed against AI use in Hollywood.

"When someone says, 'that looks like AI,' is that a compliment? No, they’re saying it looks like shit ... Why would you ever want to put that in your movie?" he told our @DanielNMiller.
