Although adjusted for inflation, Meg Whitman's $144 million for California governor in 2010 would be worth $222 million today. So maybe @RickJacksonGA is only fifth in self funding. #gapol
According to @OpenSecretsDC, the only larger self funders ever were 2020 presidential spends by @MikeBloomberg ($1.09 billion) and @TomSteyer ($342 million) #gapol opensecrets.org/elections-ov…

.@RickJacksonGA could surpass the $215 million that @TomSteyer spent on a losing 2026 primary race for governor in California, which appears to be the record for self-financing a governor's race. The Golden State has roughly 3x as many voters. #gapol ajc.com/politics/2026/10/ric…

DOJ gave California 48 hours to match its voter rolls with a thumb drive that got dropped off on Tuesday with the names of suspected noncitizen voters.
DOJ says it may sue to throw out ballots if California misses the deadline.

The anti-SEC Deep State has engaged in cloud seeding and weather manipulation to interfere with the Georgia-Alabama game
One thing about those Kemp results in Oconee - he's an Athens homeboy. It's a very Republican county, but Jackson may not have the kind of personal ties that Kemp has there. #gapol
This is the last gasp of the Black and rural white coalition that ran Alabama for decades following the Voting Rights Act.

Today, AP News Media Guild members across the U.S. are sending emails to Executive Editor @JuliePace and CEO Daisy Veerasingham opposing the offshoring of 40 U.S. and U.K. jobs to India. This is a violation of our contract and demand this effort be stopped.
This is a hilarious story about the pope and the White Sox. nytimes.com/2026/08/07/busin…
I did have some opportunities in journalism, but I decided to try something new, in part because a steady paycheck will relieve a lot of financial uncertainty that I was feeling.

And don't forget to tell @apnews.com on their website and at their Signal what you think as well. Offshoring is NOT expanding!
