Major news in the California governor race: – Gavin Newsom officially endorses Xavier Becerra – Tom Steyer concedes and throws his support behind Becerra: "It would be a travesty for Steve Hilton to win the governorship, and Californians must unite behind Xavier Becerra to ensure he does not."

Progressives need to stop falsely claiming Talarico is no different than a Republican on LGBT rights, because he does not support surgical intervention for trans minors. He's a huge LGBT supporter. Look at the facts. Stop trashing great candidates because you don't like every policy of theirs.

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.

California Democrats chose Xavier Becerra first and conquered the Jungle Primary while they were at it. @xavierbecerra.bsky.social

In 2016, Leslie Stahl interviewed Trump and questioned him about his constant attacks on the press and why he did it. Trump replied: "I do it to discredit you all and demean you all so that when you write negative stories about me no one will believe you" THE. MORE. YOU. KNOW. 💫

🚨Last night in House Appropriations, all Republicans present voted to allow THEMSELVES to get settlements from the January 6th Slush Fund. I am not making this up.

The U.S. Supreme Court erased all doubts about the sweeping nature of its recent voting rights jurisprudence Tuesday night with a shadow docket ruling that effectively reverses the Court’s own decision in the same matter just three years ago. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The corruption runs deep.

For four months, one man decided we were at war. Today, the House said no. We passed a war powers resolution ordering our troops out of Iran unless Congress votes to keep them there. Not the President alone. Congress. The people’s representatives.

Can’t be repeated enough👇🏽 Just so insane

BREAKING: Federal judge BLOCKS Felon Trump from creating or operating the $1.776 billion slush fund, transferring any money, considering claims submitted, or disbursing any funds. I explain the details of the ruling that freezes Trump’s illegal slush fund in its tracks. youtu.be/326-8Dh5mIw?...

James Talarico responded to the latest faux scandal: "I’m an eighth-generation Texan. I’ve been eating barbecue since before Ken Paxton’s first indictment. And if all they have on me is lying about me being a vegan, I feel pretty good about our chances this November."

Where’s the uproar about waste, fraud, and abuse now?

MacFarlane: Amid all this turnover, there's a sloppiness that is rearing its head at the DOJ. You can see it in the court filings—this new genre of typos, the random capitalization, the random exclamation points, the hyperbole, the reference to Trump derangement syndrome

Can you imagine if Obama had hosted a cage fight on the South Lawn of the White House. On his own birthday. With 1,000 tickets handed to himself. While Republican lobbyists begged for the leftovers. Fox would have run a 24-hour countdown clock to impeachment.

When the esteemed White House, symbol of the American republic is turned into an event venue. Yuck. No wonder no governing is getting done.

BREAKING: California Governor Gavin Newsom is signing new legislation to strengthen protections against election interference, intimidation, and unauthorized law enforcement activity ahead of the June 2 statewide primary. 1/

Trump isn’t going after the “worst of the worst” — he’s going after all immigrants. And we must be clear eyed about this — he’s using immigrants as a testing ground for stripping Constitutional protections for ALL of us.

Why isn't the media giving #ICELawlessness the coverage it deserves? A sitting member of the US Senate (Senator Kim) got attacked yesterday with chemical weapons by this rogue administration and crickets! It's up to us to make sure people hear about these things. Please share this thread widely.

Keep fighting the good fight @levin.house.gov ! We cannot allow this egregious theft of our money nor should Jan6ers get a dime for their assault on law enforcement and the people’s Capitol and Congress.

Had to steal the #picoftheday from my girl @tpblue4.bsky.social! 🥇 #ReleaseTheTrumpEpsteinFiles #SheShed #Pinks

Imagine giving millions to a man who feeds starving victims of wars and disasters instead of to domestic terrorists who ransacked the Capitol and smeared their feces on its walls! Donald Trump *hates* Stephen Colbert but is the opposite of Colbert when it comes to kindness and intelligence.

And make no mistake… tr*mp is their template for the next candidate for the presidency. The government is infiltrated with carpetbaggers, under qualified anti-constitution believers and Christian nationalists. Get the broom. Time to clean house.

Ohio’s state sales tax exemption for data centers cost $1.6 BILLION in 2025 — 11x more than its original estimate. That’s $1.6 billion that could have gone to public schools and healthcare instead of Big Tech CEOs’ pockets. Is it any wonder communities are organizing against data centers?

MAHA was just another con. The corruption of the Trump admin is absolutely staggering.

The January 6th Slush Fund hasn’t even opened applications yet, and look who’s lining up. Andrew Taake, accused of attacking police with bear spray on January 6th, while he was already out on pretrial release for child solicitation in Texas. He now has to register as a sex offender.

The IRS leak that was the subject of Trump’s suit occurred in 2018-2020, when he was president. So, in effect, he was suing over what his own IRS did. Then he dropped the suit after he got his own Justice Department to give him a $1.8B slush fund to reward his thug army. What an outrageous scam.

MeidasTouch: What do you make of this $1.776 billion fund— Gavin Newsom: It’s a criminal enterprise. It’s not just corruption, it’s not just graft, it’s a full-on criminal enterprise and it needs to be shut down.

💥 you gotta see this. Wow!

New in PN: The Confederacy rises again "But this is more than a tragedy for voting rights. It’s a kind of revival of the Confederacy, in a way that few liberals thought was possible. The Lost Cause doesn’t seem so lost anymore."

Follow the money!!! Remember the Panama Papers? This pales by comparison.

How dare you point out that Sam Alito is a partisan hack! "Once again, the Supreme Court’s conservatives put their thumbs on the scale for Republicans. And once again, they’re very mad that people noticed."

OBAMA: “The president shouldn’t have a bunch of side hustles.” Sitting with Colbert, Obama points out Trump weaponizing the DOJ, grifting endlessly, and making the military loyal to himself over the country is bad.

Palantir has embedded itself in our Govt. To takeover control. This is not a drill.

Attention all men. More of this, please.

Buttiigieg: "Look, when you are this deep into your second year, if your reflex is to still be trying to blame the previous administration, it really shows that you are out of ideas, out of solutions, and unwilling to take ownership of your own choices."

Two nights ago, I said Trump had been using our troops as pirates in Iran and a Republican got mad. Well… the president just admitted it. He literally bragged about doing piracy.

I'm with Connie.

Can someone let the AP know that violating court orders is not a sign of "executive power. " It is a sign of contempt, lawlessness and authoritarianism.

I’m with him. Democrats are inclusive while Republicans are only interested in the welfare of their rich, white, male oligarchs. Democrats want a democracy while Republicans push for an autocracy. Dems believe in the rule of law while MAGA Republicans break the law. We are not the same.

Demand your candidates for governor, state house and state senate commit to redistricting in 2027 if they are elected this year. We have to be done with "being above" it all.

The fight we’re having over jobs, tech, and immigration already happened. And we know how it ends.
