A misguided bill that would have required many people to show ID to get online has died without getting a floor vote in the California legislature, where key deadlines for bill passage passed this weekend. Thank you to our supporters for helping us to kill this wrongheaded bill, especially those of you who took the time to reach out to your legislators.

California government gets it right way more often than wrong, since it went solidly Democrat. Not perfect, nothing can be, but leaning towards the correct direction. Here it is again.

They get right everything that is not pro-tech billionaires. All of that they miss 100% of time.

California’s biggest blind spots are its biggest industries. But it still often does better than other states with these.
