May Gena Rowlands rest in peace. One of the greatest actors to ever grace the silver screen. The complexities of what it means to be human have never been more fully or richly on display than through her deeply nuanced performances. She will be missed.

Overheard this morning:
#CALeg
staffer’s spouse on speaker phone: “Don’t you have to go? It’s 9 a.m.”
Staffer: “No, it’s the Assembly and it’s end of session. They say 9 but really mean 9:30. Then they wonder why they are still here on the last day of session at 1 a.m.”

Another rule of advocacy:
If you respect legislators and not staff, your efforts will suffer.
Being a legislator is a thankless job. Away from family, stacks of materials, and little time to process. Who do you think they ask for guidance?
Staff is the ❤️ of the Capitol.

You don’t talk to people like that, especially women witnesses. Essayli is a piece of sh*t. Rs have a solid SOTS video response, Grove doing great work, and Joe P. et al. making thoughtful contributions
Get Essayli in line. Otherwise, third house will do it for you

We would respectfully note that Rex Hime has also passed away.

Two giants in the Capitol community. Both will be missed. Heartfelt condolences to their friends and family.

Amen.

staff are smart and hard working. And they know the advocates who will work sponsored and important bills versus those who will create more work. Makes it hard to move forward important issues and topics when solid public servants don’t believe you will follow

We all have moments when we think it isn’t worth it to be involved in the public policy process. Thousands of hours away from our families. Losses along the way, etc

WATCH: Assembly Elections Chair
@gailforassembly
refuses to answer questions after blocking a bill that would prohibit use of NDAs in California’s lawmaking process.
She said she didn’t have enough time to review the bill, despite her record of voting for fast-tracked bills.

When you leave the building after they gavel down, knowing the work you did on a particular bill — without any acknowledgement or fanfare and, in most cases, the credit going to others — in some small way makes California a better place:
Just you knowing is enough ❤️
