Two days after resigning from the Senate, @MrTonyMendoza makes his pitch for the endorsement to win his seat back. #CADem2018
Delegate Noemi Tungui is protesting Mendoza at SD 32 endorsement caucus. “We’re a party that stands for women’s rights and we believe women,” she said. It’s “completely disgusting” that Mendoza can seek endorsement after investigation found he likely sexually harassed six women. Image
Out of 45 delegates, @MrTonyMendoza gets only 10 votes. The other 35, including @RendonAnthony, vote for no endorsement. “10 is too much!” Noemi Tungui yells. “Time’s up!”
Despite losing the endorsement, @MrTonyMendoza is still planning to run for re-election. “The voters in the district make this election, not them,” he said of the delegates. “I’ve got three months and a half to connect with my voters and let them know my message.”

California has more than 18,000 firefighters battling 27 wildfire complexes now, @GavinNewsom says. Shady and Glass fires, which broke out yesterday in Sonoma and Napa, are causing "a lot of consternation in and around that region that has been hit over and over and over again."
Decreases in new coronavirus cases are plateauing and the rate of spread is creeping up again, @GavinNewsom warns, though case numbers are not rising yet. California had 2,995 new cases yesterday and 3,367 daily average over the past week. Positive test rate over 14 days is 2.8%.
Newsom said he'll ask the Legislature to approve additional $200 million in funding for Homekey, his program to convert hotels and motels into homeless housing. The governor announced a third round of grants today and several Bay Area projects last week: sfchronicle.com/politics/artic…

BREAKING: @GavinNewsom will sign an executive order today requiring all new cars sold in California be zero-emission by 2035. sfchronicle.com/politics/artic…
"Of all the simultaneous crises that we face as a state," Newsom says at news conference to announce the executive order, "none is more impactful, none is more forceful, than that of the climate crisis."
Environmental groups are already criticizing Newsom's executive order for not curbing oil production in the state. Newsom said he will work with the Legislature next year to phase out new fracking permits by 2024: "That is a commitment, a firm commitment from this administration"

Newsom kicks off his briefing today by announcing the first $77 million in grants for Homekey, program to convert hotels and motels into homeless housing. Bay Area projects approved include a Motel 6 in Pittsburg and a site in San Jose.
"We need to reconcile the fact that there are no Democratic thermometers and no Republican thermometers," @GavinNewsom says as he switches topics to climate change and California's wildfires.
Just in the past month, California has been battling 25 major wildfires that have burned 2.8 million acres, @GavinNewsom says. More than 38,000 people have been evacuated and there have been at least 25 deaths and 4,200 structures destroyed.

Sacramento Press Club is live now with @XavierBecerra. I'm looking forward to hearing what questions @hannahcwiley and @_Nixo have for California's attorney general. facebook.com/SacPressClub/v…
Would @XavierBecerra want to replace @SenKamalaHarris if she is elected VP? Becerra says he considered jumping into the 2016 race she won. "I'd be honored to be the U.S. senator. I'm honored to be the attorney general," he says. "That's going to be totally up to Gavin Newsom."
Becerra supports police decertification, but did not get behind SB731, a bill to set up a system in California that failed last month. Early version would have put AG's office in charge: "You can't ask me to stand up a system without the resources or personnel to do it," he says.

Here are a few of the folks I met at the temporary evacuation point for the #BearFire in Gridley this afternoon:
Brothers Jerry and Ed Murie wanted to stay to defend their home in Berry Creek, but they had no running water because PG&E shut off the power. They fled through a “wall of flames” last night. “We’ve been completely screwed, man, by the higher forces,” Jerry said. Image
Steve Dutter and his wife were just back from a camping trip yesterday evening. Knowing they might have to leave in a hurry, they never unhooked their RV from the truck. A few hours later, they were evacuated from Bangor — the third time in recent years. Image

California has had 7,606 wildfires that have burned 2.3 million acres so far this year, @GavinNewsom says at briefing, compared to 4,927 fires that burned 118,000 acres at the same point in 2019. So if it has felt like a new level of doom this summer, that's because it is.
"I quite literally have no patience for climate change deniers," @GavinNewsom says after another weekend of record heat across the state. Los Angeles County recorded its hottest temperature ever: 121 degrees.
Latest coronavirus figures for California, per @GavinNewsom:
* 2,676 new cases yesterday, 4,302 daily average over past week
* 4.3% of tests positive in past 14 days
* 3,311 hospitalizations (24% decrease over two weeks)
* 1,080 ICU patients (21% decrease over two weeks)
