New state disclosures today show that Building a Better California has spent an additional $27.5 million on the three billionaire tax countermeasures. That means their total campaign spending this year, on five ballot measures, has grown to more than $75 million.

Three ballot measure campaigns in California — including two funded by a group backed by Sergey Brin and other Silicon Valley elites — are offering signature collectors $15 for each valid petition signature, the highest prices so far this year, as I reported this week:

Ware's diss track evidently failed to resonate with Sacramento Superior Court Judge James Arguelles. calmatters.org/politics/2026/… x.com/ButchWare/stat…
Dr. Butch Ware for California Governor 2026@ButchWare

They tried to knock us off the ballot over a phone number. We made a diss track. 🎤 From the 10‑minute deadline to Shirley Weber’s stalling… we kept the receipts. Call Shirley Weber ➡️ (916) 653-7244 Donate to legal fund ➡️ butchware4gov.com/donate #ButchWare #BallotSuppression

Aguilar says he hasn’t seen the Cherfilus-McCormick Ethics findings. When told she was found guilty on over 20 counts, Aguilar says “that doesn’t sound good”

More reactions to the family business argument Cherfilus-McCormick’s lawyer is making. Committee members appear somewhat galled by it.

Cherfilus-McCormick counsel: "This indicates what the profit-sharing agreement was. I'm not saying this piece of paper is a profit-sharing agreement." Committee members keep pressing him why, if an exculpatory profit-sharing agreement exists, it wasn't turned over.

The far-left TrackAIPAC, which is run by a Marxist who lives in Germany, doesn’t actually track AIPAC donations. Instead, they selectively count donations from various Jewish groups, including those critical of Israel, based only on whether they like the politician or not.

'Connecting communities that feed the nation' is certainly one way to describe an incomplete rail segment that terminates in the walnut orchards outside of Shafter
Governor Newsom Press Office@GovPressOffice

Unlike Trump, California government cares about the Central Valley and connecting communities that feed the nation with 21st century transportation that is fast, easy, and affordable. Just last month, the track laying phase began, and so far this nation-first project has: 👷 Supported 16,400 jobs 💵 Generated $1.3 billion in wages 🚉 Completed 58 mega structures 📈 Added $2.9 billion to the state’s economy

The California lawmakers in charge of the Capitol Annex Project broke their promise to be more transparent. They refuse to hand over key cost records, stating that keeping them secret is in the public's best interest. After three rejected interview requests, I confronted them:
