I think it’s intimidation with 5 weeks left until the midterms. But if democrats regain control they CANNOT let ice, Stephen Miller and Tom Homan walk free.

An important note is being governor especially in California is a big commitment you don’t just say yes on this or that and flunk out later.

Once you get your mail in ballot especially if you are a California voter it’s imperative you fill it out and then drop it off at a secure Dropbox immediately because of all the uncertainty and paranoia surrounding Felon47.

This is why too we need Rob Bonta because if not Michael Gates would be Much worse

Exactly Rob Bonta’s opponent Michael Gates is NOT our friend. He’d be much worse and very foolish if voters in California didn’t vote for Bonta just because of some stupid merger. And plus democrats have vowed to probe the merger if they regain control of Congress. So the battle is not over yet.

Fairshake, the crypto industry's main super PAC, says it will spend $30M to defeat Democrat Sherrod Brown in Ohio's Senate race as revenge for Democrats defeating the pro-crypto CLARITY Act. But don't expect any of their ads to actually mention crypto. Watch.

Patrick Doran @patrickdoran.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
I think the best advice I can give for now is we have to vote in the midterms and if democrats regain control of Congress they can investigate the merger themselves.

‘Block the Merger’ push continues amid reported Paramount settlement with states

The Ellisons are very paranoid. But we do have to keep in mind a final settlement agreement is NOT guaranteed yet. So there’s still time for those who oppose the Warner Bros. paramount merger to tell Rob Bonta not to cave to the Ellisons.

We still need to wait for what the Supreme Court will say on the Mail in Voting order. And I’ve mentioned many times I do NOT trust the court. And we will also need to alert all voters who receive a link to VOTESAFE because that is not a reliable. It’s a trap by Elon Musk to surveil voters.

I believe he would. He must also make that clear with the legislature because the rightward shift back in 2024 was due to high inflation and a lot of voters in California would prefer prices to be lowered.

I agree on this here because when Jim Clyburn was on meet the press he said if democrats regain control impeachment should not be immediate. To paraphrase Clyburn was basically saying “Hold fire. Patience.” And if you are @dems.ag or @housedemocrats.bsky.social I would take note on this here. 👇

If I’m Giffords, @newtownaction.org or the parents of those who lost their loved ones to gun violence like the Newtown Shooting, I believe they must attend the oral arguments for the Supreme Court’s assault weapons ban cases because doing so would send a message to John Roberts “We’re watching you”

Patrick Doran @patrickdoran.bsky.social · 05/09/2026
The scary part is the Supreme Court will have oral arguments over states banning assault weapons on December 2nd. This shows why the court needs to be expanded & why we must vote in the midterms.

This also came too as the LAPD didn’t get a good draw in the lawsuit Jameson’s owner filed against the department. Biden appointee Judge Cynthia Valenzuela will oversee the suit. The department has still refused to identify the officer who opened fire but I think he will be eventually due to FOIA.

This also comes too as the 9th circuit court of appeals had oral arguments over California’s law banning ice agents from wearing masks. The panel of judges were NOT friendly towards California at all and it shows we need to find a way to get democrats on board with nabbing the agency.
