🚨California’s population climbed above 39.5 million in 2024, marking the 2nd year of growth
In addition to the report released by the Department of Finance, the U.S. Census Bureau (which measures on a fiscal year versus DOF’s calendar year) released updated information showing California’s population increasing as well — with several key revisions upwards:
⬆️ July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024, California’s population increased by more than 225,000 people.
⬆️ July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023: California’s population increased by more than 50,000 people. NOTE: This was revised up from the originally reported 75,000 decrease.
⬆️ July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022: California’s population decreased by just 151 people. NOTE: This was revised up from the originally reported 100,000 decrease.
BUSTING RIGHT-WING MYTHS
Despite the common myth of a continually declining population, California only saw a short period of population loss in its 174 year history — during the peak of the COVID pandemic — when it decreased by 379,544 people (which is about 1% decrease over those two years), according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
During the same period, from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022, 10 states saw larger population decreases, with Louisiana — led by a Republican legislature — seeing the largest percent decrease. And 13 states also saw population decreases from July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021.

Is he also saying the same about anyone who believed him when he said he’d win 50% on Election Day?
Spencer Pratt said he’d leave L.A. if he lost the mayor’s race. Now he’s calling anyone who believed him a ‘dim-witted jerk.’ In his concession video, he also calls his opponents, two women of color, ‘commie animals.’ vulture.com/article/spencer-…

Good on @RepRobertGarcia for working to bring accountability, oversight, and transparency to the Epstein Files as the Trump Admin continues to ignore Congress and hide them from the public!

An incredible line by @DDale8: "if you’re a seasoned conspiracy theorist, as President Donald Trump is, you don’t just stop telling a fantastical tale when it is contradicted by new facts. Rather, you simply adjust the conspiracy theory so that the new facts now fit within it."

Once again, the Mayor is spreading misinformation.
There is in fact ID verification
There is in fact signature verification
Jun 11
Sometimes the quiet part gets said out loud.
Mail-in ballots Newsom made permanent during COVID. No voter ID. No signature verification.
Nobody's shocked anymore. People know how this game is set up.

A lot of hyperventilating over a missing date of birth in the voter file that defaults to 1/1/1900

8 days after the election ... not exactly a good sign for combatting mis and disinformation ahead of Nov. 2026

Polymarket told NPR it was pulling sponsorship of some creators spreading LA mayoral election fraud claims.
On Monday, Nick Shirley shared a post calling the LA mayoral election into question (it also misunderstood how Polymarket odds work). The post was sponsored by Polymarket.
