Thank you, Sen. Feinstein, for deciding to serve out your term rather than resign. Now millions of Ca voters can choose your replacement, rather than just one governor.

Allan Zaremberg was by far the most important, most influential business representative in Ca's capital for decades. And he may have been the most liked because he was gracious, wise and bipartisan in problem solving. An old school great guy.

Recall Xln Sept 14? Too bad not July 14. Sooner we get this waste of time and tax money behind us, the better. Especially for the Ca GOP.

Gov Newsom asks 'what the hell is going on in the USA?' on guns. Better question: What the hell is going on in his state of Ca? Toughest gun laws. Still mass shootings. What's your solution in Ca, gov?

Newsom's proposal sounds like another spending program, not a rebate. High earners who built the surplus won't be getting back any of their taxes.

Ca's Kamala Harris did what every good VP candidate must: She didn't mess up the ticket. Even better, she was an asset. Being a Black woman, she helped make Georgia competitive.

Newsom wisely bailed. He didn't want to wipe out by being the 1st gov in history to close all Ca beaches. Not a good look.

New PPIC poll shows Biden suffering in Ca from drubbings in Iowa & NH. Sharp drop. Sanders running away with it. Sanders 32, Biden 14, Warren 13, Bloomberg 12, Buttigieg 12.

Gov. Newsom sides with Trump Admin in announcing he'll veto SB 1 state environmental projections. That's not the gov's message, but it's the result.

Bush41 signed the landmark ADA, won a brief war with minimum casualties, raised taxes when needed. Was good and decent. Where's the next 41? Could he be elected?

Gov Brown & Dem lawmakers gave gas tax repeal effort a good campaign pitch by raiding money meant to help mortgage victims. latimes.com/politics/la-po…

Isn't Gov. Moonbeam forgetting something? He has 3 1/2 months left in office. His satellite will take several years to launch. Has anyone asked Gov. Newsom?

George Deukmejian was a quality, classy governor, a Republican who could compromise with the Legislature's Democratic majority. A very decent guy. He died today at 89.

Brown's Delta tunnels victory could be brief. His likely successors could scuttle the project. latimes.com/politics/la-po…
