BREAKING NEWS

Vast Majority of California DA’s Oppose Prop 50…

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

• California’s elected district attorneys have come out strongly against Proposition 50, which they argue would dismantle the voter-approved Citizens Redistricting Commission and reintroduce partisan gerrymandering.

• The measure would allow the state Legislature to redraw congressional maps in secret before the next census, reversing reforms passed in Propositions 11 and 20 that created a fair, independent redistricting process.

• Critics say this would divide communities, silence voters, and erode public trust in government.

• The proposition also carries a massive $300 million special election cost, which opponents argue should instead support underfunded initiatives like Proposition 36, aimed at treating addiction and reducing crime.

• They condemn the “fight fire with fire” mentality that justifies partisan manipulation by pointing to similar practices in other states.

• Ultimately, the DAs urge voters to reject Proposition 50, calling it a threat to democracy and a wasteful, politically motivated rollback of fair representation.

Selling Out Voters: Newsom Spends $300M to Outlaw the GOP

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

• Governor Gavin Newsom is defending his push for Proposition 50 by blaming redistricting efforts in Texas, despite Texas being under a court order to redraw its maps.

• Critics argue Newsom is using $300 million in taxpayer funds not for electoral integrity but to boost his national profile and eliminate Republican influence in California.

• The measure is sarcastically referred to as the “I know you are but what am I” initiative, highlighting its perceived childish justification for gerrymandering.

• Congressman Kevin Kiley summarized the issue by stating that Prop 50 would replace maps drawn by an independent, voter-approved commission with those drawn by Sacramento politicians, effectively legalizing partisan redistricting.

• This overturns California’s constitutional ban on gerrymandering and implements what critics call the most gerrymandered map in modern U.S. history.

• The text concludes with a warning: regardless of one’s stance on Texas, California must consider whether it wants to be remembered as the state that normalized political map manipulation.

The Top 5 Arguments Against Newsom’s Prop 50

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

• Gavin Newsom has placed Proposition 50 on the ballot to eliminate California’s independent redistricting commission and hand the power back to Sacramento politicians, reversing reforms voters previously approved.

• The author argues this would allow Democrat consultants to redraw federal district maps in ways that silence rural voters and solidify one-party control.

• The measure is framed as a nakedly partisan move that would worsen California’s existing problems—like affordability, homelessness, and business flight—by entrenching failed leadership.

• The article warns that Prop 50 could accelerate the exodus of people and companies from California while simultaneously disenfranchising voices in rural and agricultural regions.

• Del Beccaro contends that Prop 50 is less about fair governance and more about advancing Gavin Newsom’s expected 2026 presidential campaign, with taxpayers footing the $300 million election bill.

• He urges voters to reject Prop 50 as a dangerous, self-serving power grab that undermines democracy and harms the state.

Homan Says DOJ Probing Funding Behind ‘Organized’ Attacks on ICE

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

• A former top Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) official says the Department of Justice is investigating the funding behind organized attacks on ICE facilities and agents.

• He claims that some of the violence has been financed through networks linked to leftist causes, though details remain under seal.

• According to the report, masked protesters in several cities have coordinated assaults, vandalism, and disruption with an intent to intimidate federal agents.

• Those in federal law enforcement see it not merely as protest, but as a targeted campaign against immigration enforcement.

• The DOJ probe is said to be examining not just the perpetrators but the funding streams and organizations that facilitate the mobilization.

• Should evidence emerge tying these attacks to donors or groups, it could transform protest tactics into prosecutable conspiracies.

LA County Passes Shameful 'State of Emergency' to Help Illegal Aliens, ICE Nails How Outrageous It Is

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

• Los Angeles County declared a “state of emergency” to assist people claimed to be financially impacted by recent ICE immigration raids, providing assistance like rent relief, legal aid, and other services.

• The move also opens the door to enacting an eviction moratorium tied to ICE enforcement activity, outraging critics who say it prioritizes immigrants over struggling citizens and federal law.

• Some local officials defend the policy as a humanitarian response, while opponents accuse the county of political theater under the guise of compassion.

• The article argues the timing is hypocritical given the homelessness crisis and the county’s failure to aid fire victims or its own residents.

• Advocate groups label the emergency declaration as a way to funnel taxpayer dollars into ideologically aligned causes and shield noncitizens from immigration enforcement.

• ICE responded harshly, calling the emergency “outrageous” and accusing county leaders of showing contempt for enforcement and the law.

• The agency characterized the declaration as “the only emergency” being the one residents face from officials who disrespect federal authority.

• Ultimately, the article frames the decision as a betrayal of citizens, a misuse of power, and evidence of misplaced priorities in Los Angeles governance.

L.A. County Hides $2M CEO Payout Behind Wall of Secrecy

L.A. County chief executive got $2-million settlement after Measure G fallout, records say

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

• L.A. County Chief Executive Officer Fesia Davenport received a $2 million settlement related to reputational and career harm she says was inflicted by Measure G, the voter-approved reform that will shift her position from appointed to elected.

• The settlement was finalized in mid‑August and prevents Davenport from bringing future legal claims against the county over Measure G’s effects.

• Measure G will make the county’s next CEO elected by voters instead of chosen by the Board, and its passage represented a major change in how county leadership is selected.

• In her settlement letter, Davenport argued that the measure had profoundly impacted her professional reputation, income projections, and career trajectory.

• She also noted that previous top officials had received large payouts—for example, her predecessor received $1.5 million in a separation package.

• The announcement raises questions about accountability, transparency, and taxpayer cost in the face of government structural changes.

Newsom’s Wife Cashing In On Political Power

Danica Patrick Donates $7M to Turning Point USA

Guest Column

“My house almost burned down in the Palisades fire. Alleged arsonist is not who I blame.”

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

• The author describes how their home nearly burned during the Palisades fire and acknowledges the arrest of an alleged arsonist, but insists the real blame lies with state and local leaders rather than just the individual.

• They argue Governor Gavin Newsom failed to manage forest health and allowed overgrowth in brush that fueled the fire, and contend he leans on climate change rhetoric instead of prevention and accountability.

• Mayor Karen Bass is also sharply criticized—her absence from L.A. during critical moments, broken promises, and staffing decisions in key safety roles are cited as evidence of neglect.

• The article points to the fire rescue failures, delayed responses, lack of water due to a drained reservoir, and unpreparedness despite warnings as systemic breakdowns under her watch.

• The author asserts that political decisions around diversity hiring and cuts to fire‑safety resources contributed to poor performance when catastrophe struck.

• Ultimately, they call for more than punishment for the arsonist—they demand resignations, restructuring, and accountability at the highest levels of government.

The underbelly of California politics turned inside out this week.

His strategic legal acumen and client-centered approach have established him as a formidable litigator dedicated to protecting the “little guy” and advancing constitutional principles.

A defining moment in Mark’s career is his precedent-setting victory in Gilstrap v. United Airlines before the 9th Circuit. This landmark ruling created a vital legal pathway, enabling disabled Americans to hold airlines accountable for injuries caused by violations of federal law. The decision continues to serve as a beacon for disability rights, empowering individuals nationwide to seek justice against corporate misconduct.

Mark’s practice encompasses constitutional law, election law, political law, and civil rights. With over 35 years of political experience, his background includes grassroots activism, drafting legislation, and speaking on legislation before committees. His political experience as a candidate for California Secretary of State in 2018 and U.S. Senate in 2022 provides unique insight into the intersection of law and public policy, enhancing his ability to navigate high-stakes legal and political landscapes. He has served as counsel to national and state party committees, religious organizations, and congressional campaigns at every level.

Mark has solidified his reputation as a leader in election law.

Additionally, Mark has served as an observer in post-election audits, reinforcing his commitment to safeguarding the integrity of democratic processes.

Beyond his election and constitutional law work, Mark continues to champion individual rights through impactful litigation. During COVID, Mark was one of the nation’s leading litigators fighting against government overreach. He was personally involved in over three dozen lawsuits and advised attorneys across the nation on over a hundred additional cases. Mark and the team were involved in four cases before the United States Supreme Court that resulted in significant limitations on the emergency powers asserted by political leaders. Whether it was reopening churches, schools, beaches, barber shops, or restaurants, Mark was at the forefront of that fight. He was also part of the legal team that challenged and succeeded against President Biden’s unconstitutional OSHA vaccine mandate. His experience defending the rights of individuals, small businesses, and mom-and-pop shops against government overreach demonstrates that Mark is an effective, tireless advocate for Californians’ constitutional and human rights.

In these briefs, he conducts meticulous historical analyses, diving deeply into the original meaning of the Constitution to illuminate its application to contemporary legal issues. His scholarship has informed critical cases, shaping judicial understanding of constitutional protections and reinforcing the rule of law.

With a track record of landmark victories, and extensive election law expertise, Mark Meuser remains a driving force behind Dhillon Law Group’s advocacy efforts. In addition to his legal work, Mark is an accomplished endurance athlete, having completed multiple Ironman races around the world. He is also an avid student of American history, maintaining a personal collection of over 200 books on U.S. politics and history, all published more than 100 years ago. His work in courtrooms, war rooms, election audits, and appellate briefs reflects his unwavering dedication to justice, democratic principles, and the protection of individual rights, making him a trusted ally for clients and communities alike.
