NOW: Huge turnout from state workers at the California State Capitol as they line up to support AB 1729, a bill by Assemblymember Alex Lee 李天明 (votealexlee.bsky.social) (D-San Jose) that would require state agencies to publicly justify return-to-office mandates. If the bill is approved and signed into law, state agencies will need to provide a written justification for the need to return to office. Many attendees are also pushing back on Gov. Gavin Newsom’s order requiring most state employees to work in-office four days a week starting July 1. They argue telework has proven effective and productive. On the other side, Newsom argues the return to office mandate will improve productivity.

NOW: Hundreds of state workers are rallying at the State Capitol against Gov. Gavin Newsom's new return-to-office mandate that takes effect today requiring most state employees to work in person four days per week instead of the previous minimum of two (for most state workers). They argue telework has proven effective and productive, adding the return-to-office mandate will increase traffic and add costs for everyday workers and taxpayers. On the other side, Newsom argues the return to office mandate will improve productivity and improve downtowns. SEIU Local 1000 says the demonstration also comes as its contract with the state has expired. No agreement has been reached for a new contract.

A lighthearted moment on the Senate floor as California Senate Minority Leader Brian W. Jones (R-San Diego) has playfully given each of his CA Senate Republicans colleagues the famous “NO!” button to keep at their desks in the final hours of the legislative session. It comes ahead of this weekend’s votes on more than 300 bills. The buttons underscore how Republicans plan to vote against many bills put forward by the Democratic supermajority. The California Senate and Assembly are meeting Sunday ahead of Monday evening’s deadline to advance bills to Gov. Gavin Newsom’s desk.

I was at today’s meeting and want to echo Ashley’s post: I was told an interview with CEO Ian Choudri would not be possible *if* it touched at all on the circumstances surrounding his arrest and leave of absence. To be clear, Choudri was not charged, and the board later cleared him to return. But I felt I still had to ask about the situation and whether it served as a distraction for the project. In fairness to the HSR comms team who have been very communicative, an interview with Choudri was offered to me — but limited strictly to the project itself. As a journalist, it is a tough spot to be in. Our coverage will stay focused on the business plan, but I wanted to share this context.

Assemblymember Assemblywoman Alexandra Macedo Alexandra Macedo (R-Tulare) fired back at Gov. Gavin Newsom over his trip to the Munich Security Conference in Germany. "It's 100% about presidential ambitions," Macedo said. She and other California Assembly Republicans took issue with Newsom's remarks targeting big oil. "I think it's very suspicious that he's going there to say that big oil is the reason for climate change while he's negotiating -- begging -- refineries to stay in the state of California to avoid having $8 gas because that will certainly hit his presidential election quite hard."

Becerra's full non-edited answer when asked whether he'll commit to funding healthcare for undocumented Californians: "Every time people ask 'will you commit to this? Will you promise to that?' That may get you elected but it's not the way you govern." "I made it very clear I was going to be the healthcare governor for California.I made it very clear I want California to be the backstop for all families who need access to healthcare." "But you want me to make a commitment to families without knowing what the budget will be? Without knowing where the votes are? That's just playing politics the wrong way.." "I will take this very seriously...Am I committed to committed to make sure families don't lose their healthcare? Not only that, I am committed to expand it so more families have access to healthcare." "But guys (looks at CA press corps), don't play this game about asking me to commit because I did not get elected doing that. A lot of other folks made these wild promises, and they're not the governor-elect." "I cannot make a commitment without knowing what exactly I face because I don't think any voter, any taxpayer, any Californian wants to have a governor who is still acting like a politician."

I want to be clear: I would have preferred not to make this video. I am sharing it to explain my upcoming coverage of the race for California state controller, including my efforts to interview incumbent Malia Cohen (D-CA) and why my candidate interview coverage of this office will feature only her challenger, Herb Morgan (R-CA). I would have preferred to produce a piece giving both candidates equal time. Those are journalistic values that guide me every day. After weeks of outreach and back-and-forth with Cohen’s team, a Zoom interview was scheduled, then abruptly canceled by her team. I was told she had no availability to reschedule before the election. Her team said I could submit written questions for Cohen to answer in writing. I respectfully declined because I wanted voters to hear directly from her on camera, with the opportunity for follow-up questions. I told her team multiple times I wanted to ensure voters heard her side, her priorities, and answer why she deserves a second term in office. I made every effort to make that happen. Fairness is always my priority. My goal was to give both candidates the same opportunity to discuss their records, answer meaningful and tough questions, and speak directly to voters. I regret that I could not make that happen, but voters deserve transparency about the process.

ELECTION 2026: California's next governor will inherit a state budget heavily reliant on volatile capital gains tax revenue from the stock market, raising questions about how the state would weather a potential stock market downturn. I asked Democratic gubernatorial candidate Xavier Becerra (D-CA) whether he is concerned a market decline could result in cuts to state programs or tax increases. Becerra acknowledged market volatility but added "the markets go up and down, they are volatile. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad. Government cannot be that way. We have to be steady." He pledged to “provide for schools" and ensure “healthcare stays available for everybody” while vowing the following: "We're not going to overspend. We're going to make sure we're fiscally prudent."

It's .0001% of all of the registered voters and it makes the point there is no widespread voter fraud and that there is, at times, isolated one-off examples of voter fraud," said Bonta.

He suggested he’s holding there for now, citing frustration with cities like LA not complying with SB 79, the state law requiring more high-density housing near transit. "You don't build, we're not going to fund," Newsom said. Watch below:

In a rare moment, California Gov. Gavin Newsom Governor Gavin Newsom got emotional — tearing up — while announcing a major expansion of the California Service Corps. During his remarks in Sacramento alongside California Service Corps members, Newsom unveiled a push to recruit and add 10,000 paid positions focused on disaster response, education, climate action, and community projects. At one point, he paused, visibly in tears: “Weird… forgive me… This [program] is it. You want to fix all this stuff? This [program] is it," he said. Newsom called the program a path forward for a divided society: “We’re all just sitting there yelling and screaming at each other… trying to tear each other down. How are we going to get out of this? This is it… it’s so obvious what we need to do.” The effort also includes a new “Men’s Service Challenge.” CA Chief Service Officer Josh Fryday: "Here's the message from the State of California...we need you.

I spoke with Jay Leno about his renewed push for “Leno’s Law” — a proposal to change California’s smog-check rules for certain collector cars more than 35 years old. When the measure was first introduced last year, Leno came to Sacramento to urge support for it, but it later stalled in committee. Fast forward to now: With key changes, Leno is once again pushing for the proposal, hoping lawmakers drive it across the finish line. The bill, which is authored by Sen. Shannon Grove Senator Shannon Grove (R-Bakersfield) and Sen. Dave Cortese (D-San Jose), has thus far received bipartisan support. American Lung Association is opposed, citing air pollution concerns.
