Saikat Chakrabati — who took the Bezos method of gravitating towards a thicc Latina after making his tech money, serving as AOC’s chief of employees — dropped $10 million on his House race.
Meanwhile Tom Steyer, the self-professed billionaire “class traitor,” spent over $200 million on his race for governor. Both candidates landed in third place, and can miss the cut for November’s common election, which serves as a useful reminder:

2. Put the conspiracies to mattress (if yow will discover one)
by Mike Solana
As media pundits proceed to guarantee us that Nithya Raman’s weeklong leapfrog over Spencer Pratt within the LA mayoral race was completely fraud-free and positively not more suspicious than a homeless man in Venice leaving the Walgreens with a whiskey-bottle-sized bulge in his jacket, it’s important we blindly trust these pundits and never level out inconvenient information: just like the hundreds of voters registered to LA homeless shelters that — whoops! — don’t even have beds.
Per The California Post, a number of thousand voters had their registrations tied to such shelters, though many at present offer zero lodging in anyway.
And would you have a look at that! One such accommodation-free “shelter” even received a $600,000 grant delivered by COUNCILWOMAN NITHYA RAMAN HERSELF whereas she chaired a homelessness committee. To be honest, it’s fully potential this wasn’t a de facto bribe… maybe the homeless tweakers simply beloved her coverage platform (she lets them camp outdoors colleges, after all).
