Two Democratic state senators are facing federal corruption charges, prompting a flurry of ethics legislation in an attempt to restore the California Capitol's tarnished image. Various bills headed to the governor prohibit lobbyists from showering lawmakers with gifts and hosting extravagant fundraisers, ban valuable gifts such as concert and sports tickets, and restrict the use of campaign cash for vacations and clothing. The case inspired AB 1014, which would allow family members and law enforcement agencies to petition a judge for a restraining order to remove guns from a potentially dangerous person. AB 2306 expands invasion-of-privacy statutes to include paparazzi photographers pursuing celebrities with drones in their homes and backyards, while AB 1327 establishes restrictions on the government's use of drones for surveillance.

  • Feds Say MAGA-Aligned Mogul Had “Opportunity and Motive to Start” Apartment Fire
    Mother Jones, Tuesday - 05/21/2024 - 05:00 PM

    Federal prosecutors on Tuesday revealed evidence they said shows fugitive Chinese mogul Guo Wengui—as well as an unnamed person who was living with him—had the “opportunity and motive to start” a fire that severely damaged Guo’s lavish penthouse apartment hours after his March 2023 arrest. Prosecutors shared the incendiary new information about the mysterious blaze, which erupted in the iconic Sherry Netherland building just off Central Park, the day before jury selection is set to start in Guo’s trial for allegedly executing a massive fraud scheme. The fire reportedly broke out hours after Guo’s arrest at 6 am on March 15, 2023, while FBI agents were still searching the penthouse, causing severe damage to the property.

    Mother Jones, Tuesday - 05/21/2024 - 04:01 PM

    Donald Trump’s Truth Social stock might be doing better these days, but the company is still struggling to make money. In the first three months of 2024, it pulled in just $770,000 in advertising revenue. To put that in some context, Meta, the parent company of Instagram and Facebook, earned more revenue in just three minutes, on its way to making $36.4 billion in revenue over three months. Truth Social posted those dismal revenue numbers in a public stock filing on Monday, but as anemic as the revenue numbers are, they aren’t even an improvement from last year.
