Escaped into the magical Mendocino woods for a couple of days last week and had some giant oysters. I think this is my favorite corner of California. ✨

California lawmakers spend a lot of time distinguishing themselves from states like Florida and Texas. Meanwhile, state agencies' habitual lack of transparency and a general hostility toward the press by top Dems are pretty much on par with some of their red-state foes!

Me on a normal day: can’t start working until whole house is cleaned, I’ve had a vegetable and drank 12 oz of water and my decaf brew. Me in the field on breaking news: crumpled food wrappers thrown in my car, hair in knots, double americano, chips and a power bar for lunch.

The biggest housing bill of the year, #SB423 , just passed the Assembly Housing and Community Development Committee 6-1. It started the year with major labor opposition, but landed in the second house with some modest changes that reduced some concerns.
