The largest left-wing Latino voter mobilization PAC in the country is overwhelmingly bankrolled by secretive donations for the 2022 midterm elections , a Fox News Digital review of federal filings has found. The Somos PAC, which works to get Latino voters to the polls in key swing states, has raked in $3.8 million to benefit Democratic candidates this November, Federal Election Commission (FEC) records show. Of that amount, $3.2 million has flowed from dark money nonprofits, effectively hiding the original donors. The practice of dark money nonprofits steering contributions into federal elections has gained steam in recent years, sometimes leaving voters unaware of who is funding political activity and advertisements in their states.

PORTSMOUTH, N.H. – Democratic Sen. Maggie Hassan vows that she'll "fight and never back down" to protect legalized abortion in her latest TV ad running in her home state of New Hampshire . Hassan was the first Democratic senator from a key battleground state who's facing a challenging reelection in November's midterms to go up with a commercial on abortion in wake of last week's monumental move by the Supreme Court's conservative majority to upend the landmark half century old Roe v. Wade ruling. "This decision catapults us backwards, and there are politicians like Mitch McConnell, who’ve made it clear that their objective is to ban abortion nationwide," Hassan charges in her ad. "We will not be intimidated. I will fight and never back down. I’m Maggie … [Read more...] about Democrats flood airwaves with abortion ads in the week since monumental Supreme Court Roe v.

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 6 DOVER, Del. (AP) — The jury in the corruption trial of Delaware State Auditor Kathy McGuiness acquitted her on Friday of felony charges of theft and witness intimidation but found her guilty on three misdemeanor counts. Jurors deliberated for about four hours over two days before finding McGuiness, a Democrat elected in 2018, guilty of conflict of interest, official misconduct and structuring a contract with a consulting firm to avoid compliance with state procurement rules. It marks the first time in Delaware history that a sitting statewide elected official has been convicted on criminal charges. Even though fellow Democrats quickly called on her to resign, the misdemeanor convictions don't prevent McGuiness from holding public office, and she said she still plans to seek reelection in November. The conflict of interest charge involved the May 2020 hiring … [Read more...] about Delaware auditor dodges felony charges, guilty of misconduct

(AP) — California, which already has some of the nation's toughest gun laws, has added new restrictions on untraceable “ghost guns” and on marketing firearms to minors, Gov. Gavin Newsom said Friday. "As the Supreme Court rolls back important gun safety protections and states across the country treat gun violence as inevitable, California is doubling down on commonsense gun safety measures that save lives,” Newsom said in a statement announcing that he had signed the two bills a day earlier. Ghost guns, the privately made weapons without serial numbers, are increasingly being tied to violent crimes. Their proliferation has prompted President Joe Biden's administration to come up with new regulations to crack down on them. Under the new law, California now requires parts used to build firearms to have serial numbers, and gives Californians who have … [Read more...] about California adds laws targeting ghost guns, sales to minors

The release of two new campaign ads in the past week strongly suggests California Gov. Gavin Newsom and supporters of Attorney General Rob Bonta are attempting to handpick certain Republican challengers as their general election opponents — picks that would all but guarantee victories by the two incumbents in November. In a new radio ad released this week , a group supporting Bonta highlights the positions of Republican attorney Eric Early, one of Bonta's four opponents in June’s primary election. The ad paints Early as “a true conservative” and “huge Trump supporter.” However, the ad seems to encourage voters to support Early. “He’s pro-life, pro-Trump and pro-guns,” the ad says. “… Let’s remember to vote early, before the June 7 election for attorney general.” Ok, listen to this ad. Every. Single. Word. This is how you get a Dem/Rep runoff in the AG race.

(AP) — Cybersecurity experts say the California Department of Justice apparently failed to follow basic security procedures on its website, exposing the personal information of potentially hundreds of thousands of gun owners. The website was designed to only show general data about the number and location of concealed carry gun permits, broken down by year and county. But for about 24 hours starting Monday a spreadsheet with names and personal information was just a few clicks away, ready for review or downloading. Katie Moussouris, founder and CEO of Luta Security, said there should have been access controls to make sure the information stayed out of the reach of unwanted parties, and the sensitive data should have been encrypted so it would have been unusable. The damage done depends on who accessed the data, she said. Criminals could sell or use … [Read more...] about Experts: California lacked safeguards for gun owner info

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Friday signed a new state law that will stop police from arresting people for loitering for prostitution, an issue that divided sex workers and advocates during a rare nine-month delay since state lawmakers passed the bill last year. “To be clear, this bill does not legalize prostitution," Newsom said in a signing message. “It simply revokes provisions of the law that have led to disproportionate harassment of women" and transgender adults, he said, nothing that Black and Latino women are particularly affected. The bill will bar police in California from arresting anyone for loitering with the intent to engage in prostitution. Sen. Scott Wiener and other supporters said such arrest decisions often rely on an officer’s perception. While Newsom said he agreed with the intent of the repeal, “we must be cautious about its implementation.” He said his administration will track crime and prosecution trends “for any possible … [Read more...] about California will end arrests for loitering for prostitution

(AP) — California voters will weigh in on seven ballot measures this fall, the fewest to appear on a statewide general election ballot since 2014. Thursday was the deadline to qualify measures for the November ballot. Secretary of State Shirley Weber confirmed that seven questions will appear in November. Six are ballot initiatives that supporters gathered enough signatures to place before voters and one was placed on the ballot by the state Legislature. Two other initiatives that had qualified were withdrawn after state lawmakers worked out a compromise and passed legislation before the deadline. Lawmakers also rejected a possible question about whether to remove involuntary servitude as punishment for a crime from the state constitution. This year's ballot … [Read more...] about Californians to vote on 7 ballot measures this November
