Oakland Mayor Faces Recall Amid FBI Raid and NAACP Resignation Call

Thao is also facing a recall effort, with enough signatures to appear on the November ballot. The NAACP and other local groups argue that Oakland needs a mayor who is not distracted by legal issues, especially given the city's current challenges, including a budget deficit and recent violence.

"Michael Gableman Provides Legal Support for Ousting Robin Vos"

Former state Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman, who previously led a review of the 2020 election, is now representing a group seeking to recall Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos. The group's first recall effort was rejected due to a lack of valid signatures, and they are now making a second attempt. Gableman accused the first recall effort of being "sabotaged" and suggested potential involvement by Vos, without providing evidence. The recall organizers have been accused of employing circulators who forged signatures, and the Racine County District Attorney is investigating nearly 30 complaints of forged signatures. Vos, who hired Gableman to review the 2020 election, did not immediately respond to the accusations.

"Recall Effort Against Wisconsin GOP Leader Robin Vos Fails"

Supporters of former President Donald Trump's attempt to recall Wisconsin's top elected Republican, Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, failed to gather enough signatures for a recall election, as confirmed by state elections officials. Vos had angered Trump supporters by refusing to decertify President Joe Biden's win and not backing a plan to impeach the state's top elections official, Meagan Wolfe. Despite a second recall effort, Vos remains in his position, and the Wisconsin Supreme Court declined to clarify district boundaries for any potential recall. Trump has criticized Vos and renewed calls for Wolfe's removal, while Vos has blocked impeachment efforts against Wolfe.

"Trump Supporters Submit Signatures to Recall Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos"

A group aiming to recall Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, a top target of former President Donald Trump, has submitted enough signatures to move forward with the effort. The bipartisan Wisconsin Elections Commission will review the signatures, and Vos has the opportunity to challenge the petition. The recall effort stems from Vos' actions related to Trump's candidacy and his handling of the 2020 election. Vos, who refused Trump's urging to dismiss the 2020 election results, faced a close re-election bid in 2022 after Trump endorsed his challenger.

Alameda County DA Pamela Price Defends Against Recall Effort and Critics

Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price, who is facing a recall campaign, defended her progressive criminal justice reforms in a television interview. Critics argue that Price's charging decisions have been excessively lenient and favor perpetrators over victims. Price attributed the recall effort to outside special-interest groups supported by the Republican Party. She emphasized the need to invest in alternatives to incarceration and stated that the criminal justice system has shown racial bias. Several seasoned prosecutors have resigned since Price took office, citing an inability to fulfill their duties.

Controversial CRT curriculum sparks backlash in Temecula schools, while California districts support pastor and LGBT youth group

Three school board members in Temecula, Southern California, who were backed by a far-right pastor, are facing a recall effort and a civil rights investigation after banning critical race theory and rejecting social studies materials that included LGBTQ rights hero Harvey Milk. Students, parents, and teachers have been protesting and attending board meetings, expressing their frustration with the town becoming consumed by partisan warfare. The religious right's attempt to jump into the parental rights movement has faced backlash, and the strategy of banning certain books and challenging curriculum has split Republicans and polled poorly with independent voters. Local Democrats are looking to capitalize on the situation, seeing an opportunity to win down-ballot races.
