James Gallagher and I have introduced AB 1114, to stop censorship on social media. The bill would extend constitutional free speech protections to what you post on Facebook, Twitter, and other platforms. Freedom of speech is the lynchpin in the great American experiment of self-government. Historically, California has played a leading role in defending it. […]

Today the Assembly was supposed to vote on a fake school reopening bill, which would do little to get most kids back in the classroom. I was going to offer an amendment to make it real: 5-day per week in-person instruction available within two weeks for all California students in all grades. But the Legislature

Gavin Newsom is about to close the loop on one of the most corrupt episodes in California history. It started with the 2020 election. Secretary of State Alex Padilla signed a $35 million no-bid contract for “voter education” ads promoting mail-in voting. He gave the “emergency” contract to SKD Knickerbocker, a partisan PR firm that

The latest signature count is 1,689,000, and “alarmed party leaders” are panicking, making “all hands on deck” calls to try to head off this extraordinary citizens’ movement. Their arguments combine a disdain for both logic and democracy. If I were still teaching high school debate, I might use them as a lesson plan on the

Today, I called for a formal investigation into Gavin Newsom’s use of “emergency powers” to award massive no-bid contracts to his top campaign donors. You can read my full release here. This follows a Capital Public Radio report finding “an overlap of at least a half-dozen companies that made substantial contributions to Newsom and received

That’s what has the political class and Special Interests who benefit from Gavin Newsom’s corruption so maniacally worried. They will do anything and everything

On Monday I wrote about how Joe Biden’s first weekly address highlighted, of all things, my office helping a constituent harmed by Gavin Newsom’s incompetence. Newsom apparently wasn’t pleased. Having inadvertently helped make the case for the Recall over the weekend, Biden suddenly came out in opposition to it yesterday. He chose not to make

Here’s a sentence I never thought I’d write. Joe Biden’s first weekly address as President is about me cleaning up Gavin Newsom’s mess. As the Sacramento Bee reports: “A Sacramento-area woman facing challenges during the coronavirus pandemic was featured as the first guest in President Joe Biden’s revamped weekly address. When the Roseville woman ran

Many have asked what’s taking the Court of Appeal so long to decide our case against Newsom. Now other courts are asking the same question. The Pacific Legal Foundation, which is challenging Newsom’s business lockdown using our separation of powers argument, was just denied a preliminary injunction because the court in our case has not

*RSVP here for one of my “Recall Newsom” book signings in your area. A new poll shows Gavin Newsom’s approval rating has plummeted 18 points in just a few months, down to 46 percent. While you might wonder how it isn’t single digits by now, one analyst called this “the market sign of real vulnerability”
