Great gubernatorial candidate forum from @car.org today
We've renamed the DOD the Department of War. Our troops are Warfighters. No of course we're not "at war" you dumb lib
Housing crisis solutions discussed at Sacramento conference - The Sacramento Observer

We are very proud to announce that TWO Capitol Weekly Interns have been awarded scholarships through the @sacpressclub.bsky.social. Congratulations to Ellie Appleby, a '25 intern, and to Eden Collier, of our '24 cohort!
Great conversation with one of the most significant voices on CA Housing policy
yikes.

Finished this the other day - _incredible_ research. Perfect for history nuts who want all the details
The most intense parlor game in Sacramento right now is projecting who makes June’s Top Two gubernatorial primary: Not who will win, but if the Top Two could actually be two Republicans. @paulmitche11.bsky.social games it out:

that's a Getty screwup. Brown had left CAKE, started a new band called Deathray, recorded some records, then left Deathray, all before this photo was taken. Xan has been in the band 25-30 years
it happens!
Heads up @latimes.com - that photo is not Greg Brown - it's Xan McCurdy, his replacement in CAKE
9 major Dem candidates are splitting the blue vote - GOP candidates Chad Bianco & Steve Hilton have emerged as front runners in the Gov's race. @paulmitche11.bsky.social says they could capture the Top Two slots, shutting Dems out of the runoff

These were everywhere when I did a trip in Italy in '04... so bizarre. The original Multipla is one of my favorite cars ever!
When he signed SB 54 in 2022, Gov. Gavin Newsom called it a "nation-leading" law fighting plastic pollution. Now, because of him, the law is in limbo. Here's how Californians can get it back on track.
Political earthquake. Nithya Raman is running for mayor.
Not only does this pose a serious threat to Mayor Bass, but it reframes the June primary in a way that benefits down ballot progressives in other city races.
Props to NPR for leading the newscast w/ the president's racist post. But, c'mon...they're not false narratives. They're lies. Words matter (Once again, don't give me the 'but we don't know what he knows or is thinking.')
DSA candidate narrowly takes the primary in NJ 11 to replace Mikie Sherrill... vote split is reminiscent of the recent Sacto mayor's race primary, where Dr. Flo consolidated the left vote while McCarty, Pan and Hansen split the establishment vote.
Can Porter do the same in Gov's race?
Funny, i just had that conversation with a record collector who was complaining about the high exchange rate of chf to USD. I was like, it's gonna get worse.
interesting that Bitcoin has lost almost half its value in six months... i wonder if this is a canary in the coal mine? I imagine people start selling off their bizarro currency when they start needing actual money.
Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.
The Washington Post embarked on severe cuts despite appeals by the newsroom to owner Jeff Bezos. The paper is to narrow its focus largely to politics and national security. n.pr/4qAlWBj
Amazing to see what the folks at @calmatters.org have built! Fun Fact: we (Capitol Weekly) helped them get set up as a 501c3!
PODCAST: The race to replace
@governor.ca.gov has taken up most of CA’s political oxygen so far this year, but there are other statewide races coming up, including Lt. Governor, State Insurance Commissioner, and – potentially – a slew of Ballot Measures.

Great piece.
