It was quite a week – both in our nation’s Capital and in California’s. Let’s start with redistricting. A court in Texas has struck down that state’s new congressional map. Under the original language of Prop. 50, that would have invalidated California’s new map as well – but Newsom and the Legislature removed that language at the […]

During the Newsom/DeSantis debate, which I fact-checked live, Newsom’s Chief of Staff Dana Williamson took to Twitter to call me an “idiot.” Oddly, her account disappeared the next morning.

It’s not every day I’m the subject of a positive profile in the NY Times. But in this case, it’s for simply doing what I did during Newsom’s COVID shutdown: showing up for work (without a paycheck) because I believe the House should be open and working for the American people. Even as the toll
