Before the pandemic, she was a stay-at-home mom married to a construction manager who led early-morning personal training sessions and didn’t even know what a school board was.\n\n“I never wanted to do politics...\"\n\n* * *\n\nMeet the State Superintendent candidates: Gus Mattammal, educational testing and tutoring service director\n\nGus Mattammal says he’s the only candidate for California superintendent of public instruction who combines experience as an educator and business executive with a personal background growing up in a marginalized, low-income community.\n\nMattammal is the president of the housing and infrastructure organization SHIFT-Bay Area and sits on countywide boards, including the Midcoast Community Council and the Community Advisory Committee for the San Mateo County Transportation Authority.\n\n“I know what it does to a community when a public school at the heart of it is just not working,” Mattammal said. “It really punches a hole right in the heart of a community.”\n\nMattammal grew up in St. Louis...\n\n* * *\n\n### Billionaire blitz: Steyer’s $132 million campaign dwarfs rivals in California governor race\n\nTom Steyer, the billionaire environmental activist and self-styled progressive candidate for governor, is on track to run the most expensive gubernatorial campaign in state history, having already spent more than $132 million.\n\nHe’s saturated the Internet and TV as special interest groups ramp up advertising of their own ahead of the June 2 primary and county officials prepare to mail out ballots.\n\nCampaign finance disclosures filed...\n\n* * *\n\n### Voter ID initiative qualifies for California’s November election\n\nCalifornians this fall will decide whether to require voters to show proof of citizenship before casting ballots.\n\nA GOP-backed voter ID ballot initiative on Friday qualified for the Nov. 3 ballot,marking a significant win for San Diego Assemblymember Carl DeMaio, who led the signature-gathering campaign. DeMaio and other Republican operatives have pushed for tighter voter restrictions in deep-blue California for years.\n\nIf voters approve it, they would be required to show a government-issued ID each time they go to the polls, while mail-in ballots would need the last-four digits of an ID, such as a driver’s license. The secretary of state and county election offices would also be required to verify voters’ registration each time they vote.\n\nCurrently, voters only need to provide...\n\n* * *\n\n## Local news\n\n* * *\n\n### From elsewhere\n\n _All links are outside of paywalls._\n\nPalo Verde Unified board member’s real state of residence probably won’t ever be decided _//_ The Press-Enterprise\n\nDA’s investigators interviewed him. Now Palo Verde school board may censure him for it // The Press-Enterprise\n\n* * *\n\n## Local events\n\n### Joshua Tree CARE Court event\n\nSan Bernardino Superior Court is sending its mobile courtroom to the Joshua Tree Courthouse on May 8, from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Attendees will have access to self-help services for document preparation and filing, an on-site judicial officer to determine eligibility for CARE Court, and Department of Behavioral Health representatives to answer questions. CARE Court provides treatment for people with schizophrenia or other psychotic disorders. No appointment is needed to attend.\n\n### Appellate mediation program\n\nThe Riverside Court of Appeal is asking for attorneys to participate in its mediation program. The volunteers can be experienced in all areas of law, and can be retired, but must have ten years of legal experience. One hundred and sixty-five attorneys over the years have participated in the 34-year-old program.\n\nMediations are scheduled at the convenience of the attorney, and can be remote. The program saves time for litigants as well as the Court of Appeals.\n\nInterested attorneys can call the Court of Appeal, Fourth Appellate District, Division Two, and ask for Jackie Hoar.\n\n### Free legal aid clinics\n\nInland Empire Latino Lawyers Associations hosts free legal aid clinics at the 838 Alta St, Redlands, on the last Wednesday of every month. They also host clinics the first, second and fourth Monday of every month at Bordwell Park, 2008 Martin Luther King Blvd., Riverside. All clinics are held from 9 a.m.-1 p.m.\n\n* * *\n\n## State news\n\n* * *\n\n### Rideshare drivers sue Uber over being kicked off app in new challenge to California law\n\nUber has failed to create an appeals system to give drivers due process when they’re kicked off the app, violating the California law it carved out that declared app-based drivers independent contractors, a lawsuit filed Monday alleges.\n\nIn 2020, voters approved Proposition 22, a ballot initiative that exempted Uber and other app platforms from labor law and allowed them to keep classifying their workers as contractors instead of employees. The measure included a promise that drivers would have an appeals process.\n\nRideshare Drivers United, a drivers group that says it has about 20,000 members in California, said Monday that because Uber has violated Prop. 22 by not delivering on all its promises, it should not be allowed to continue to assert that its drivers are independent contractors.\n\n“Uber has not met the conditions...\"\n\n* * *\n\n### 9th Circuit blocks California limits on anonymous immigration agents\n\nA federal appeals court on Wednesday struck down California’s requirement that masked federal agents identify themselves, a blow to the state’s ongoing resistance to the Trump administration’s deportation program.\n\nA 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel handed down a ruling prohibiting California from enforcing a section of the 2025 law that mandates federal law enforcement officers visibly display identification while carrying out their duties.\n\nThe law was destined to...\n\n* * *\n\n### California Republicans call it the ‘Stop Nick Shirley Act’. Here’s who it’s supposed to help\n\nAngelica Salas is used to hearing from people who have opinions about her work providing legal aid to immigrants. She knows many people have different views on immigration, including ones that contradict hers.\n\nBut she wasn’t prepared for the moment that a stranger showed up at her mother’s house looking for her.\n\n“I was very shocked. My mother said somebody came looking for you,” said Salas, the executive director for the The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights. “It’s OK if someone decides to picket me if they don’t agree with what I'm doing. … That’s their First Amendment right. It’s very different to go to your mother’s home.”\n\nIncidents like that one — and the threatening phone calls Salas and her staff regularly receive — led her organization to support a bill that would expand a privacy program that allows certain workers to hide where they live from public databases.\n\nIt seemed noncontroversial at first....\n\n* * *\n\n### AG Bonta: antitrust enforcement is about affordability\n\nI am not breaking news when I say that America is in the clutches of an affordability crisis. Families across the nation are feeling strangled by the cost of living—of housing, healthcare, childcare, gas, and groceries. According to the Urban Institute, nearly half of American families aren’t able to cover essential expenses to live securely.\n\nAs California Attorney General, I’ve made combating the affordability crisis one of California DOJ’s top priorities. As of late, much of that work has included antitrust enforcement.\n\nBefore your eyes glaze over and you scroll away, hear me out:\n\nAntitrust enforcement is about affordability.\n\n* * *\n\n### News from elsewhere\n\n _All links are outside of paywalls._\n\nCalifornia Lawmakers Seek Protections for Patients in ICE Custody // KFF Health News\n\nSpaceX settles lawsuit with state Coastal Commission over Vandenberg flights // Los Angeles Times\n\nSinger D4vd charged with murder in slaying of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez // Los Angeles times\n\nJury Awards $16 Million to Man Abused by East Bay Priest as a Child // KQED\n\nBillionaire investor files fraud lawsuit against Trump crypto venture and claims it’s on ‘verge of collapse’ // Independent\n\n* * *\n\n## Resistance state: Tracking California’s lawsuits against the new Trump administration\n\nResistance state: Tracking California’s lawsuits against the new Trump administrationThis story was originally published by CalMatters.

Lawmakers also focused on two U.S. citizens killed by federal immigration officers in Minneapolis, Renee Good and Alex Pretti.\n\nFollowing the deadly shootings in January, Democrats refused to...\n\n* * *\n\n### Trump administration investigation of Fed Chair Jerome Powell scrapped\n\nWASHINGTON — The Department of Justice dropped its investigation Friday of the Federal Reserve and Chair Jerome Powell over building renovation costs, a move that could open the door for new Fed leadership next month — and signaled a victory for North Carolina Sen.

Michelle Childs wrote, adding that they upheld a lower court's ruling.\n\nThe three panel judges who heard the case...\n\n* * *\n\n### Former mayor of Kansas town pleads guilty to misdemeanor election crimes, hopes to avoid deportation\n\nTOPEKA — A former Kansas mayor and immigrant charged with voting illegally pleaded guilty to lesser charges Monday, a move expected to allow him to remain in the United States.\n\nFormer Coldwater Mayor Joe Ceballos reached a plea agreement with the Kansas Attorney General’s Office to drop the severity of charges related to voting illegally from six felony counts to three counts of disorderly election conduct, each a class B nonperson misdemeanor, court documents said.\n\nCeballos is a legal permanent resident of the United States and a citizen of Mexico. During the interview process in 2025 to become an American citizen, Ceballos said he had voted in the past, which triggered his arrest.\n\nThe plea agreement\n\n* * *\n\n### Supreme Court’s ‘shadow docket’ brings hasty decisions with long‑lasting implications, outside of its usual careful deliberation\n\nThe recent publication of confidential Supreme Court memoranda by The New York Times has brought to light a pivotal moment in the court’s history. “The birth of the Supreme Court’s shadow docket has long been a mystery,” wrote reporters Jodi Kantor and Adam Liptak. “Until now.”\n\nOriginally coined by legal scholar William Baude, the term “shadow docket” refers to the Supreme Court’s emergency docket, which, as Baude wrote, includes “a range of orders and summary decisions that defy its normal procedural regularity.”\n\nThat’s law professor-speak for cases that are given abbreviated consideration and accelerated review by the justices, all out of public view – what The New York Times story referred to as the court “sprinting.” These cases aren’t included in the annual list of cases the justices have chosen to consider and that are presented by attorneys in public sessions, called “oral argument,” at the court.\n\nSuch shadow docket cases have proliferated as...\n\n* * *\n\n### National news from around the web\n\n _All news is outside of paywalls._\n\nUS soldier accused of pocketing $400,000 through bets on Maduro's capture // The Washington Post\n\nDOJ aims to strip citizenship from hundreds of foreign-born Americans, sources say // NBC\n\nChatGPT allegedly advised Florida State shooter when and where to strike _//_ The Washington Post\n\nSupreme Court allows injured veteran to pursue lawsuit against defense contractor over bomb attack // Stars and Stripes\n\nThe unflattering secrets revealed so far in Elon Musk’s latest legal feud // The Washington Post\n\nUS-Kuwaiti journalist leaves Kuwait after release from detention, US official says // Reuters\n\nLawfare: A string of court decisions have gone against Donald Trump and his administration, blocking efforts to shut down critical reporting // Columbia Journalism Review",
