Make no mistake: in California, our democracy is working as it should. But our President is doing everything in his power to make you doubt that with constant lies. His baseless, anti-democratic rhetoric has no place in our electoral process.

I'm not sure many people in the world have more robust credentials for saying this than I do, but: James Comer represents a truly unique combination of power and dishonesty, even by DC standards.

As a World Cup host, the U.S. shouldn't be flippantly barring officials from entering the country to do their jobs. It's terribly backward. It's also counterproductive. Global sports competitions should improve international exchange and relations, not the reverse.

Let’s be clear about Delaney Hall. A private, for-profit detention center run by GEO Group. Their business model is making money off human beings. Their incentive isn’t dignity. It isn’t fairness. It isn’t even deportation. Their incentive is keeping beds full and keeping the money flowing.

🔎 Newly unsealed search warrants confirm the sheriff who seized 650k ballots from California’s redistricting referendum relied on fraud claims pushed by anti-voting activists. Even more chilling? The script mirrored the one used in the FBI’s Fulton County raid — which came just one week earlier.

Search warrants show California ballot seizure echoed Fulton County election raid
The newly unsealed warrants also raise questions about why law enforcement officers were able to seize ballots unchecked by either the courts or the officials responsible for protecting them.
