Most populous state, right??

NOBODY better than those two (at least on the Dem side) is willing to run for Gov??


Anyway, back to Katie: from Google AI:

According to resurfaced 2013 divorce documents, former California Representative Katie Porter was accused by her then-husband, Matthew Hoffman, of dumping a ceramic bowl of steaming hot mashed potatoes on his head in 2006.

The Allegation: Hoffman alleged that Porter became angry over how he was preparing the mashed potatoes, yelled, "Can't you read the f–ing instructions!", and then poured the hot potatoes on him, burning his scalp.

Context: The incident was detailed in a 2013 restraining order filing during their divorce proceedings, where Hoffman alleged a pattern of verbal and physical abuse, including Porter throwing toys, books, and other objects.

Recurfacing: These allegations resurfaced in October 2025 alongside other accusations of misconduct toward staff, amid her campaign for California governor.

Other Details: Hoffman claimed in the documents that Porter would "routinely" call him a "f—ing idiot," "f—ing incompetent," and did not allow him to have a cell phone, alleging he was "too f—ing dumb to operate it".
