The length California politicians will go to disenfranchise voters has reached a point of all-time absurdity. Before turning to AB 1495, which passed the Assembly yesterday, a bit of context.  In January, Gavin Newsom installed his crony Alex Padilla to replace Kamala Harris in the U.S. Senate. At the time, I wrote a legal memo explaining […]

Joe Biden uses the term “Neanderthal” to describe governors who don’t follow the advice of the CDC. That now includes the Governor of California. Gavin Newsom says that while he doesn’t dispute the CDC’s new guidance dispensing with masks, he will nevertheless ignore it. At this point, he’s no longer even pretending to care about

I started this blog almost a year ago. Of the 60,000 people who’ve subscribed, many are Republicans. Many are also Democrats or Independents. I just received a contribution from a woman who’s made one other political donation in her life – to Bernie Sanders. What’s striking is that such a diverse readership can agree on

Here’s a line in the sand I’m ready to draw. I’ll never support any candidate for any office who propagated the Big Lie that opening schools was unsafe. It’s been propagated in California like nowhere else. Biden’s Education Department just reported we have the fewest fourth graders in school full-time: 5 percent. Across all grades,

For 170 straight years, California’s population grew. Last year, we’ve just learned, it shrank by 182,000 people. Congratulations to Gavin Newsom on making history. For Newsom, dubious history-making has become routine. Yesterday, he rolled out the “largest economic recovery package in state history,” demanding $100 billion for his “California Comeback Plan.” Other states, of course,

The Third District Court of Appeal has ruled against us. We are immediately seeking review by the California Supreme Court. It’s an odd opinion. The Court sided with me and James on almost every issue, recognizing that our case raises “matters of great public concern regarding the Governor’s orders in the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic emergency.”

This weekend I addressed the Young Republican National Conference, with delegates gathered from all 50 states. They want to help us recall Gavin Newsom. My speech was about our movement’s national significance. While the Recall is first and foremost a fight for California’s future, it’s also a blaring warning to America: Don’t lurch down our

For the first time in state history, we lost a seat in Congress this week. If the California Exodus is a myth, apparently the Census Bureau is in on it. We actually would have lost two seats if Gavin Newsom and the Legislature hadn’t spent $182 million to juice the Census headcount. Florida and Texas,

The Sacramento Bee has published an editorial opposing my bill to ban vaccine passports. I welcome the debate. Our Legislature, on the other hand, prefers to ban debate itself. AB 327 should have been heard by the Privacy Committee on Thursday. But the Legislature’s leaders suddenly transferred it to the Health Committee, whose Chair promptly

It’s official. The Secretary of State has verified enough signatures to trigger an election for the removal of Gavin Newsom as Governor. This is an achievement of historic proportions: our country’s largest ever signature drive and our state’s greatest ever citizens movement. In theory, Newsom could still stop the election by harassing people into retracting
