January 27 Open Thread

Links:

*  More talk about DiFi getting in the Governor’s race. Apparently, she’s quite interested in playing around with the media until the filing deadline hits in six weeks.

*  Michaela Alioio-Pier is dropping out of the Insurance Commissioner race. She has been going through some health issues. We all wish her a speedy recovery.

*  A Santa Clarita city councilman who calls himself a “proud racist” got some love from other proud racists. Given our country’s legacy of blood against those who are different, this is just disgusting.

*  A bill limiting gifts to legislators won’t be making it to the Assembly floor, at least for now.
