Davis update! It’s looking not good for Measure V, 1,800 housing unit proposal. Down 48% to 52% and today’s margins didn’t move much from Election Day returns

Yesterday the Sacramento County Elections office confirmed they received my ballot. Results for my district of CA-6 is going to trickle in

Idaho health officials are investigating how nearly 60 people got sick after drinking raw milk in the past two weeks. The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare says they didn't name two dairies potentially linked to the outbreak “because this is a potential risk for any raw milk producer.”

Davis housing project vote, Measure V currently trailing 47.8% vs 52.2%. Lots of ballots to count but if results hold this would be the 6th ballot box housing project to fail of 8 proposed since 2005, and of the 2 that passed, only 1 was built. davisvanguard.org/2026/06/davi...

Drive-through voting! Peak American experience

🗳️ Can you guess who got my vote for congress? Polls close at 8:00 PM TONIGHT. Be sure to return your ballot, and let’s go win! #DrPanforCongress #CA06

Races I am watching tonight: Sac County Sup D1 CA 7 - Matsui/Vang CA 6 - Open: Pan/Kiley/Gurerro/Ho/Babb-Thompson Davis - Measure V - Housing

The big local election today in the Sacramento region is in Davis! Measure V would approve 1,800 homes, roughly the equivalent of 65% of all homes produced in Davis since 2009 or over 17 years! davisvanguard.org/2026/06/davi...

So, I know birds can swallow large prey. But this was pretty wild. At Yolo Bypass, near LotG, I witnessed a juvenile pied billed grebe catch, struggle with, and then eat a crawfish. And the crawfish, relative to the grebe, was quite big. #birds

I look forward to their disappointment when we get them back to Minnesota for Nuremberg 2, to be held in the Target Center with tens of thousands of angry Minnesotans in attendance

E24-24, my proposal to raise the IBC’s single-stair apartment building height limit from three stories to four, has passed the final membership vote, and will now officially make it into the 2027 IBC 🎉

The "No Kings" movement has just announced plans for nationwide protests on June 14, which just happens to be Trump's birthday. He's made us miserable. It's on us to return the favor.

If done right a lot of Sacramento’s growth in 2030s will be right here in the railyards. 🫰🏢🏠

One thing I didn’t expect as a dad was spending 10 minutes getting the kids situated in a car with snacks and water for a five minute drive

Just saw 2, 14-year-old boys get on e-dirtbikes and pop a wheelie on my neighborhood street. These should not be legal

Bid is trickling in for West Sacramento. $300M in-kind land donation, $500M from United Auburn Indian Community and the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians. And $1B from the city of West Sacramento via “tax increment financing, hotel fees and other sources” www.cbsnews.com/sacramento/n...

yeah you gotta willie horton ken paxton. have the party committees and super pacs run ads explicitly accusing paxton of covering up for a child abuser. “you love your children and would do anything to protect them. so why would you vote for a man who lets child abusers run free”

Proximity to a golf course doubles the risk of Parkinson disease. Does this ever get put into CEQA reviews for new developments? Feels a lot worse than some traffic jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

California is launching SUN Bucks for summer 2026 to help fight childhood hunger! Eligible families will receive $120 per child in food benefits over the summer months — helping make sure kids have access to nutritious food while free school meals are limited.

I dont have the one weird trick on having more kids. But as a dad for a 1 and 3 year old boys, major addition care support and subsidies would be a game changer I pay $40k/y on child care and maybe another $10k/y on food and all the extras. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

This photo of Andy Kim in the moments before ICE gassed everyone at Delaney Hall is going into the history books. We need more of this from our electeds.

“‘I’m going to scrap the current configuration, and I’m going to make sure we finish,’ Becerra said. ‘But we’ve got to do it on budget and on time.’” These … certainly are words. They indicate no knowledge whatsoever of the project, but they're words.

Went to a wedding too but didn’t know many people there. But! A friend’s partner worked in Ag sales and we bonded over different gardening potting mixes. We were probably the only two there with opinions on peat moss

Thankful that the SacBee continues to cover the lives lost in our region due to traffic violence. I used to drive this road in grad school. There’s been a $100M’s of investment on that side of campus but that part of Hutchinson Road didn’t receive needed fixes www.sacbee.com/community/yo...

Relegation battles are so fun to watch

TOTTENHAM MOTHERFUCKING HOTSPUR

The California Realtor Association has been doing a bunch of IEs via text and mail to me. I don’t trust real estate agents and only encourages me to vote for the people they oppose.

Active transportation personal win today: I could have either drove for errands and shopping or go for a run for exercise. Instead I biked to the store and got both done ✅ 🎉🚲

Yesterday I did the California YIMBY lobby day at the state capitol. Of the 10 or so of us from Sacramento a majority including myself were not originally from Sacramento. This trend of Sacramentens who were from the Bay Area continues strong still www.redfin.com/news/migrati...

Thank you to the nearly 200 advocates who took time off school/work and traveled from every part of California to Sacramento yesterday for YIMBY Lobby Day. Your pro-housing advocacy with legislators and staff makes a world of difference!

Campaign mailed pet peeve: This IE sent mail to “The Gibson Household”. My wife did not take my last name and the mailer defaulted to the Man’s last name.

Cool, so NSF is now going to be used to essentially launder money to tech bros because universities are just too cumbersome and disciplinary oversight and regulations and accountability are all just too stifling for innovation. $1.5B for “X-Labs.”

I wish City of Sacramento would double in population in the next few decades from 500k to 1m and California is home to 100m people before I die. It’s given 5 generations of my family opportunities and I want it shared with the next 5 generations of mine family.

California is the highest expression of the American experiment. The state is literally the greatest thing we've ever built as a people.

I understand the point of the piece and appreciate it. But, America's supposed leader in combatting climate change, California, continues to pour hundreds of millions of dollars into expanding freeways while transit agencies are on the brink of bankruptcy.
