Prop 44 penalizes clinics for funding critical patient care and staff services, including medical technology like mammogram, x-ray and CT machines. Community clinics provide whole-person, whole community care. Prop 44 puts this and many other services at risk. #VoteNOonProp44

#Pediatrician Dr. John Murphy from La Clínica warns Prop 44 will be devastating to patients across California. If clinics close patients will be forced to receive care in emergency rooms, increasing overcrowding and wait times for everyone. #VoteNOonProp44

Some more very simple extrapolations showing how much of a hill @TomSteyer has to climb. He is currently trailing @SteveHiltonx by 402k ballots. Forecasts suggest there are more Dem ballots remaining. On e-night Dems had a 3:2 advantage. Let's go CRAZY and assume Dems have a 2.5 to 1 advantage, which they won't..... Given current vote choice patterns within each party, let's add 2.5M more Dem ballots but only 1.0M more GOP ballots. In this scenario, @XavierBecerra gains 254k over Steyer and XB gains 443k over Hilton. Hilton is still winning the lion's share of GOP ballots, so even at a 1 to 2.5 deficit, Hilton would lose 188k margin to TS. So TS could close 1/2 the gap (402k) under a very unlikely scenario that remaining ballots are 2.5 to 1 D:R. And recall very good evidence from the IGS poll that later Dem voters are breaking *more heavily* XB over TS

New Semafor piece leads with so many instances of the Steyer campaign paying for influencers. 25K (twice), 50K, even 400K. He’s paying huge sums of $$$ to pretend it’s organic. None of it is real.

The unfair attacks on Xavier Becerra demand a response. I was a Deputy Attorney General when Xavier Becerra served as California’s Attorney General. And I worked alongside him when I was Planned Parenthood’s General Counsel.
As AG, Xavier created a unit entirely focused on healthcare rights and access as he went toe-to-toe with the Trump Administration to protect Californians.
When I volunteered at the border to help reunite mothers with their caged children, Xavier Becerra went to court and successfully challenged Trump’s cruel policies.
The portrayal of Xavier Becerra in negative ads is false. The real Xavier Becerra is smart, strategic, and strong.

“I really believe Tom Steyer is different,” Mr. Espina said
Unmentioned in Mr. Espina’s post: Mr. Steyer’s campaign was paying him $100,000 to help win the election.

Replying to @TomSteyer @XavierBecerra
This is very disrespectful to the Latino community and is racist against a respected Latino leader. Do better, Tom!
The Democratic Party should condemn these offensive comments! @ChicanoDemsCDP @CALatinoCaucus @LatinoCaucus @CA_Dem

Commentary:
This paradox calls into question whether GDP is the best measure of financial success for state policymakers. If we’re first in homelessness and first in the cost of everyday goods, does being fourth in GDP matter? cal.news/3GJ7Lse

Beware of flailing narcissists. They are more deranged as they lose grip on power.

Early on in my career, I was a campaign manager in an extremely tight race for the Democratic Party endorsement vote. When I rejected a delegate’s advances, he chillingly whispered to me: you know the vote is tomorrow, right? I didn’t have the courage to tell anyone at the time.

There have been over 2,000 U.S. Senators yet there have only been 12 Black Senators. In the long march for justice, we have taken great strides… and will continue to rise.
