California is dead serious about the security of tomorrow's midterm elections.
If Trump tries to meddle with California's ballots, you can be sure as hell that we'll prosecute those who help him.
Californians deserve a free and fair election, and that is exactly what we'll deliver.

"It’s an outrageous misuse of antitrust law. Antitrust is meant to protect consumers. Well, news consumers are undoubtedly more harmed by Trump’s war on the press than by this show of solidarity by news outlets in defense of the First Amendment. As for the government’s demand for copies of the networks’ communications, the outlets should tell the Justice Department to kick rocks."
–Clayton Weimers, executive director, Reporters Without Borders (RSF) North America, responding to the new DOJ probe of the major networks

ALT “The New York Times will not publish or distribute any images taken as part of the White House still photography pool today, in conjunction with the other members of that pool and in a show of support for the news organizations being unfairly targeted by the president’s barring of journalists from the White House. We remain committed to covering the president’s travel to New York City today. Americans deserve a free and independent media covering their government without intimidation, as well as comprehensive coverage of newsworthy events.” — Charlie Stadtlander, a spokesperson for The New York Times

ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox News have joined CNN in suspending pool coverage of Trump after he banned CNN from the White House.
“The public has a vital interest in receiving accurate, independent information about its government,” the networks said in a joint statement. “No administration should restrict a news organization because it objects to its reporting.” variety.com/2026/tv/news/tv-…
