Gavin Newsom will never be President. But apparently, no one has informed him of this fact. The last few weeks, Newsom has left no doubt about his plans. And the press has noticed: “California governor Gavin Newsom lines up potential White House run” (Times of London) Newsom “laying the groundwork for a future White House
This week legislators advanced three radical COVID bills. They just can’t let go. The measures on school testing, vaccine registries, and social media censorship each passed a committee. A fourth, the medical “misinformation” bill, awaits a Senate hearing. And a fifth, the anti-parent consent bill, is eligible for a vote by the full Assembly. While

In a scene out of a bad political sitcom, a handful of Democrat legislators gathered in the Capitol press room to roll out the “Select Committee on Gasoline Supply and Pricing.” The

Something very fishy happened yesterday. We again forced a vote to suspend the gas tax, beginning the day with a press conference at Stop & Shop Gasoline. You can see my remarks here. When we made the motion at the start of the Assembly Floor Session, the initial vote was 30 Yes, 32 No. On our
Some of the most radical COVID bills anywhere in the country face a vote next week. These will be major fights on the Assembly and Senate Floor. Here’s where things stand with the “Vaccine Work Group” bill package: We’ve killed the three worst bills: the student vaccine mandate, the employer vaccine mandate, and the bill
