As votes continue to be counted, a few things seem clear:

⚫ Newsom, Bonta get the results they wanted
⚫ "No Party Preference" candidates didn't have a strong showing
⚫ Lanee Chen is GOP's best chance to win a statewide election

Senate Constitutional Amendment 10 by Senate President Pro Tem Toni Atkins (D-San Diego) is the latest countermeasure from California Democrats to reports that the U.S. Supreme Court is poised to overturn Roe vs. Wade.

Just In: The U.S. Supreme Court shielded federal border patrol agents from being sued over allegations of unreasonable searches and the use of excessive force.
