Nothing is more entertaining (exhausting) than people who don't live in California explaining California Politics - election issues to those of us who actually do. Please, tell me more about how bad things are from the comfort of another state's zip code.
@daveweigel A deal between Gov Brown & Maldonado.
“In exchange for his reluctant yes to the state’s controversial new budget, Maldonado demanded a ballot measure allowing open primaries, in which people can vote for candidates regardless of party affiliation”

Thinking of the 40,000 Californians forced from their homes in Garden Grove, and grateful to the Orange County firefighters, first responders, and hazmat crews working around the clock to keep them safe.
@CAgovernor has declared a state of emergency and @Cal_OES is on the ground.
If you're in the evacuation zone, follow officials' orders.

@SenBillCassidy Any regrets Senator Cassidy?
Didn’t you learn anthing as co-chair of the HELP committee with the honorable Senator Sanders?
Your medical license if you still have it should be revoked. You are an embarrassment to the health care profession.
@RalstonReports You forgot Senator Sanders.
“Sanders spoke to a crowd of 28,000 supporters at the Moda Center in Portland, Oregon, and on August 10 more than 27,000 people showed up for his rally in the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena.”
I hope this inspires more Democrats to explicitly reject the party technocrats' obsession with means-testing that deliberately turns every social program into an annoying morass of paperwork and misery.
Minnesota’s Paul Wellstone was a great progressive leader in the Senate. After he died in a 2002 plane crash, his backers started Camp Wellstone to train the next generation of progressive leaders.
One of Camp Wellstone’s early graduates was… Tim Walz.

From me: @reidhoffman should explain exactly what's wrong with Lina Khan and her allies: that they've lowered costs? Protected schoolkids' lunch money? Stopped workers from being locked into jobs? Or is he just mad the FTC is investigating his businesses?

To understand the Biden-Bernie dynamic is to know their history + shared traits.
Biden was warm to Bernie in 2015 when the establishment shunned him. Bernie told aides he absolutely wouldn’t level personal attacks on Biden in 2020.
It’s also a relationship marked by candor. “He doesn’t mince words,” White House senior adviser Anita Dunn tells me
In Paris, Mayor Bass and LA delegation visit a homeless shelter located inside Paris City Hall. The mayor also marked International Women’s Day @ABC7
