Not a lot of good options for CA Governor. Katie Porter is probably the most progressive though it’s really hard to tell where she stands on many specific progressive issues.
In California, the right-wing tech billionaires behind Trump are funding a gubernatorial candidate named Matt Mahan.
Leading the pack: Joe Lonsdale, the Palantir co-founder who recently said the USA should resume public hangings.
Why is he funding a Democrat?
