Corruption Case Hits Newsom Inner Circle: Dana Williamson, a longtime California political consultant and former Newsom chief of staff aide, pleaded guilty in federal court to conspiracy to commit bank and wire fraud, filing a false tax return, and lying to investigators—part of an alleged scheme that diverted about $225,000 in campaign money tied to Xavier Becerra while funneling benefits to Becerra’s former chief of staff. L.A. Mayoral Race Turns Into a Union-and-Influencer Brawl: The Los Angeles Police Protective League is now targeting fifth-place candidate Rae Huang’s orbit as the campaign heats up, with Spencer Pratt’s bid still driving nonstop attacks and counterattacks. Education Funding Fight: Newsom’s latest school budget proposal is bringing relief and frustration at once—more support in some areas, but still withholding $3.9 billion in Proposition 98 funding that districts say they need now. AI Meets the Courts: A new wave of AI legal tools is accelerating in California and beyond, but the big question remains how to keep them accurate and accountable. Water Under Pressure: Data centers are expanding into water-stressed regions while state rules still leave the public with too little clarity on actual water use.
