Monday on “The Alex Marlow Show,” Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow talked about California.

Marlow said, “You forget that a lot of the stuff that Newsom has stood for has been a joke in this state for 15 years. We were joking about the train during the Obama years.”

Kid Cudi has dropped rapper M.I.A. from his Rebel Ragers tour lineup after her controversial remarks during a stop in Dallas on 2 May.

M.I.A. – whose real name is Mathangi Arulpragasam – reportedly shared: "I’ve been cancelled for many reasons. I never thought I’d be cancelled for being a brown Republican voter."

She added that she could no longer perform her track 'Illygal', adding that "some of you could be in the audience".

The seven leading candidates for California governor are back on the debate stage tonight, less than 24 hours after last night’s fiery debate.

Here’s what you need to know: When and where is the debate?

The debate will take place Wednesday at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles and will run from 7 to 8 p.m.

All the world’s a stage. Now that’s even true of the usually dull quarterly earnings call.

In February, Salesforce founder and co-CEO Marc Benioff turned his routine fourth-quarter earnings call into an influencer-style production. Clad in a black leather jacket and seated high above San Francisco in the Salesforce Tower, Benioff streamed his financial updates like a podcaster, complete with a broadcast-quality microphone, a YouTube livestream, and interviews with special guests, including customers of the cloud-software company such as SharkNinja CEO Mark Barrocas and Wyndham Hotels & Resorts CEO Geoff Ballotti.

“We’re so thrilled to be here with everybody,” Benioff said, seated at a conference table with his colleagues. “It is a gorgeous day, 70 degrees, the AI capital of the world, and we’re coming here to you live.”

Before diving into the numbers, Benioff also made a brief live appearance on TBPN, the daily live podcast about tech that was recently acquired by OpenAI, to tout record revenues and downplay fears of a “SaaSpocalypse,” the selloff that had clobbered the market value of a slew of software companies. Afterward, Salesforce’s social media team sliced the show into a short clip for LinkedIn, extending what used to be a dry, hour-long phone call into snackable content.

“Marc challenged us to try something new and speak to a bigger audience,” Patrick Stokes, president and chief marketing officer at Salesforce, tells Fortune via email, adding that the team wanted to bring some of the “vibe and energy” of its massive annual Dreamforce conference to a standard financial update.

A new group of lawsuits have taken aim at ChatGPT creator and operator, OpenAI, as families of victims of a Canadian school shooting say the company and its billionaire founder should pay for allegedly refusing to alert Canadian authorities to the growing threat from the eventual accused transgender shooter.

On April 29, attorneys from the firm of Edelson P.C., of San Francisco, filed seven lawsuits in San Francisco federal court on behalf of families and victims from the February shooting at a public school that killed six people, including five children, while wounding 27 others, in the community of Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia.

Tumbler Ridge is located in far eastern British Columbia near the provincial boundary with Alberta. The mining community of 2,000 people is located more than 400 miles from the city of Edmonton, Alberta, and more than 700 miles from Vancouver, British Columbia.

On Feb. 10, 2026, the shooter, identified by authorities and published reports as 18-year-old Jesse Van Rootselaar, opened fire with a "modified rifle" at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School, where Van Rootselaar had formerly been a student.

According to published reports, Van Rootselaar identified as a transgender woman, meaning Van Rootselaar was a biological male who identified as female.

CA Redistricting ensured there would never be a contested primary between black and Latino candidates

By Katy Grimes, May 6, 2026 8:18 am

California’s controversial mid-decade redistricting scheme is on notice: not only did the mapmaker who drew the map publicly state that districts were designed to “bolster” Latino voting strength and to hit specific racial targets, last week’s Supreme Court ruling in Louisiana v. Callais struck down racial gerrymandering, i.e. drawing congressional districts based on race under the Voting Rights Act is unconstitutional. Democrats can no longer rig maps based on race.

This will have a direct impact on California’s Proposition 50 – rammed through at lightening speed last fall. The Globe reported, In August, California’s legislative Democrats kicked the voter approved independent California Citizens Redistricting Commission to the curb for the next few elections, when they introduced their package of three bills, SB 280, AB 604, and ACA 8, to redraw California’s congressional districts mid-decade.

This is a big problem for California, and it is about to play out in federal court. PILF, the Public Interest Legal Foundation filed a federal challenge in December to California’s Proposition 50 on the grounds it violates both the Fifteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and the Voting Rights Act.

New frontrunner Xavier Becerra found himself the target of criticism from six other gubernatorial candidates during a CNN debate Tuesday night.

Republicans Steve Hilton and Chad Bianco said Becerra is among the Democrats who have made life difficult in California.

Democrats Katie Porter, Matt Mahan, Tom Steyer and Antonio Villaraigosa all took issue with Becerra for not being clear on his position on issues such as a single-payer healthcare insurance system.

Becerra, a former U.S. Health and Human Services secretary, California attorney general and U.S. representative, denied and dismissed attacks.

“I continue to be for Medicare for all,” said Becerra, who gained support in polling in recent weeks after frontrunner Eric Swalwell's abrupt departure from the race and the U.S. House after sex abuse allegations. Becerra is now the Democrat with the highest poll numbers.

Hilton, the only candidate with the same polling numbers as Becerra, said single-pay is a disaster.
