Okay. This is pretty outrageous—having public agencies agree not to reveal the science behind #CAwater policy decisions. Way to go ⁦@WadeCrowfoot⁩ & ⁦@GavinNewsom⁩ You are both following the Trump model more and more each day. #delta kcra.com/article/california-…

This #gubernatorialdebate confirms that the Republican candidate knows NOTHING about California government and what levers to pull to make the state work better for real people. Hey @CAGOP: Is this guy really the best you could come up with?? #California #XavierBecerra

Here’s an op-ed by me about glyphosate and the dirty little secret that some Democratic electeds and appointees in California would prefer you didn’t know about. barnraisingmedia.com/the-mov…

The Movement to Ban Glyphosate Grows

The movement to ban glyphosate grows but some Democratic leaders and environmental groups are reluctant to regulate

Hi @GavinNewsom! Do you really want your legacy to be taking money away from school kids for air conditioning during heat waves to hand it to a fossil fuel company that made $1.8 billion in profit last year? Extend CalSHAPE. Cool the schools. It’s really not that complicated.

Good morning and Happy Sunday to everyone who'd like to take a moment to appreciate Joe Biden while he's still with us, although he's suffering greatly from cancer. This is one of my favorite clips of him, so compassionate and caring. Amazing guy🙏💙🙏. Praying for you, Joe.

⚠️ Brannan Island State Recreation Area is currently closed until further notice due to environmental hazards following a recent fire. This closure highlights the neglect of infrastructure, lack of security investment, and the Delta's vulnerability to Newsom’s bad water plans.

Was just watching @NBCNews Now. Leading stories included massive wildfires in Canada, dangerous air pollution in eastern half of the U.S. from those fires, & huge weather-driven floods in Texas. Nobody, including the weatherman, mentioned climate change impacts. Where’s the why?

TWEEPS: At 5pm today, trump moved to end mail-in voting while continuing to use it himself. That’s not election integrity, that’s blatant voter suppression. I need 1,000 fast RTs and replies using #TrumpVotedByMail. Please and thank you! 🙏💪

Good piece that helps one understand why Betty Yee is the best candidate for CA #governor latimes.com/politics/story/2…

Commentary: Culling the field for California governor? Don't look at me, says Betty Yee

The Democratic hopeful is ignoring pressure to step aside to keep two Republicans from advancing in the June primary. She sees her straight talk and government know-how as assets once voters focus.

Good column from ⁦@GustavoArellano⁩ but he missed the best candidate, Betty Yee. As an enviro advocate, I got to know most of the Dem candidates. Betty is the smartest, most qualified and most likely to work for all Californians. She has my vote. latimes.com/california/story…

Commentary: Too many Democrats in California governor's race? That's a great thing

California's Democratic Party leaders need a rude awakening. Making them sweat about a gubernatorial primary is a start, writes columnist Gustavo Arellano.
