Rep. @ericswalwell quietly dropped his lawsuit against @pulte on Friday. He'd sued in Nov., accusing the Trump ally of falsely accusing Swalwell of mortgage fraud. Swalwell's campaign argues his suit worked. "We called his bluff," a spokesperson said. #storylink=cpy" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">sacbee.com/news/politics-…

Two interesting legal developments re: Eric Swalwell today: 1. He dropped his lawsuit against Trump ally Bill Pulte. Not clear why. 2. A judge signaled a case challenging Swalwell's CA residency doesn't pass muster. sacbee.com/news/politics-…

(Eric Swalwell's congressional campaign committee has spent over $100,000 on Uber/Uber eats over the past few years, while Katie Porter's committee spent under $3,000 on Ubers over its lifetime)

Bianco has accused Hilton of paying Laura Loomer to attack him, something Hilton and Loomer deny. “Why am I not allowed to report on the Gubernatorial election in one of the most populous states in the nation?” Loomer said in an email.

The @CaliforniaLabor just made a quad endorsement in the Governor’s race just now. We have a spoil of riches when it comes to candidates who have a long history with our individual unions. Tom Steyer, Eric Swalwell, Antonio Villaraigosa and Katie Porter all earned… 1/2

NEW: 5 people who live on the cul-de-sac where Eric Swalwell claims he’s lived since 2017 told @CaliforniaPost that they have never met the congressman. “I’ve never seen that man around.” He often stays at hotels in/near his district, according to campaign records. nypost.com/2026/03/12/us-…

As Eric Swalwell aims to fend off attacks over his CA residency, @LiaOffLeash and I found that he rents a room—not an apartment or home— in a Livermore home occupied by a family of three. Some analysts said this is not unusual in Congress. sacbee.com/news/politics-…

Not spotted so far at Spanberger’s inauguration: Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears and Attorney General Jason Miyares. Terry McAuliffe also didn’t attend Gov. Youngkin’s inaugural in 2022, but he’s here today.

When a GOP state senator in Va. wanted to lease his land to a solar company, state officials told him it violated his easement agreement. Then Gov. Youngkin's admin got involved, and things started moving. virginiamercury.com/2026/01/13/whe…

Virginians can no longer know which judges were disciplined for misconduct thanks to a 2025 law. The law’s sponsor didn’t seem to realize what he’d done. “When there’s a founded complaint…that ought to be public information,” said Sen. Creigh Deeds. virginiamercury.com/2026/01/05/aft…
