Science fact: waves start with a strong breeze. Political fact: tonight's Blue Wave started with ACA 8 (Rivas) in the California Assembly. That became Prop 50, and now it's a national tsunami. 🌊

California Assembly Speaker @RobertRivas_CA @CASpeakerRivas (D-Salinas) speaks on Democrats expanding their supermajorities in both chambers of the Legislature to potential historic highs.
"It's going to be historic in numbers and size."
"People want change. They are tired of being tired. We have to ensure we are delivering results."

The @AssemblyDems are poised to have their largest caucus ever. Credit @CASpeakerRivas and team who ousted 4-6 GOP incumbents. We call that a mandate in the business

Speaker Robert Rivas says he will lead the largest Democratic caucus in the modern history of the California Assembly:
"[Becerra's] win and the new blue majority is a mandate that Americans want affordability, health care and responsible government that truly delivers results."

If someone who works in politics texts you this today, it is a sign of great respect in their culture.

My journey is proof the California Dream is still possible, and in the Assembly, I'm fighting to ensure everyone can access opportunity.
I'm proud to represent California's 29th Assembly District. I humbly ask for the chance to continue serving you.

To the world, Dolores was a civil rights icon. To my family, she was also a friend, a mentor and someone who helped change the course of our lives.

But the thing is, you don’t need to tell the New York Times about it

I am proud to be a longtime supporter of @XavierBecerra, and I am excited to work with him when he becomes California's first Latino governor.
A great deep-dive by the @LaurelRosenhall from the @nytimes!

Five years ago today, I lost my first love. And it ripped my heart open.
I wrote this piece about love, still the most personal piece I’ve written to date.
I took a little break from writing about politics to write a deeply personal piece about love.
Messy, hurtful, at times, inexplicable but love all the same.
I hope it resonates, even a little

Meh headline but interesting deep dive into how comms operations vary governor-to-governor, with body counts from each admin. @JeanneKuang got lots of folks to talk to her: calmatters.org/politics/2026…

I closed this weekend’s edition of Inside California Politics @CaliforniaICP with a special dedication to the late @NBCLA reporter Eliana Moreno and pilot George Marciniw, who were killed in the Chatsworth KNBC helicopter crash Tuesday while covering the deadly Metro bus crash.
We also remembered the pedestrian killed on the ground and the two killed in the Metro bus crash.
Former Congressman David Dreier, chairman of the Fallen Journalists Memorial Foundation, tells me Moreno and Marciniw will be added to the future Fallen Journalists Memorial on the National Mall…a lasting tribute to journalists who lost their lives while doing their jobs.
May their memories be a blessing.

Trump lost yesterday, but your right to vote is still at-risk.
NO on Prop 39. It’s MAGA-backed and takes away your voting rights.
The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday rejected — for now — the Trump administration’s efforts to limit mail-in voting ahead of the Nov. 3 election through new rules issued by the U.S. Postal Service. cal.news/4xtY2dY

The Flight 93 National Memorial honors the 40 passengers and crew members who died on 9/11 25 years ago. @SteveHartmanCBS, who covered the story that day, is On the Road in Pennsylvania, revisiting how the passengers fought back and prevented the plane from reaching its intended target.
