Remember the $125M pot of cash California and Google agreed to send to UC Berkeley for funding cash-strapped local newsrooms? Berkeley says they can't take it, I report this morning for @politico.com, meaning the money has nowhere to go — for now. www.politico.com/news/2025/01...

California left scrambling on Google journalism deal after UC Berkeley backs out

The university’s journalism school will not host a proposed $125 million fund for California newsrooms, POLITICO has learned.

For young Americans, a written signature doesn’t mean much anymore — except when voting by mail, when a signature is critical to determining whether a ballot is counted.

“Most people my age just kind of scribble." Signatures were a sticking point for young California voters this year

In California, voters younger than 25 made up 10% of the November electorate, but had nearly 3 in 10 of the ballots set aside for signature problems, a new survey shows.

Interesting column by Gustavo Arellano on the young Orange County activists who formed a super PAC to turn out Latino voters in #CA45. Right now, Democrat Derek Tran--pushing to unseat Rep. Michelle Steel--has one of the narrowest margins of victory in the country: www.latimes.com/california/s...

Column: These young Latinos backed Derek Tran in a race where every vote is crucial

If Tran wins, Chispa will have succeeded outside its base for the first time, showing that O.C. is about to enter a new political era — despite MAGA’s takeover of Washington.

Here in Wisconsin, a new study from UW-Madison has found the state's agricultural industry lost 1/5th of its workforce between 2017 and 2022. The governor's office is attempting to put a rosey spin on it by touting the 10% growth in revenue.

My latest (from yesterday) for CalMatters: How much did Google spend to lobby on California bills, including one that might have put them on the hook for 10s of millions a year for journalism? Nearly $11 million dollars just between July & Sept. calmatters.org/politics/cap...

Why no one spent more than Google to lobby California officials this summer

Google spent $10.7 million on lobbying the Legislature and governor between July 1 and Sept. 30, far more than ever before.
