Sheng Thao Trial Calls Must Watch 2024 Renia Webb Oakland Mayoral Aide Interview With Zennie Abraham
Two years ago, Renia Webb, who was Chief of Staff to Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao, ran for Mayor of Oakland, and came with a story to tell that she also shared with the City of Oakland’s Public Ethics Commission. A story that triggered FBI attention and the trial that’s being held at The Federal Building in Downtown Oakland.
What you’re about to hear is searing and at points disturbing, but it’s a key window into the World of Sheng Thao as Mayor of Oakland. Here are selected parts of the transcript of our talk:
CHAPTER 1: ROLE AS CHIEF OF STAFF
[0:00] Were chief of staff and so someone watching this who seasoned is going to say well gee you know I’ll just say it well okay you’re in a position to be a…

Oakland & The Sheng Thao Trial: Why Transparency In The Coliseum AASEG / Loop Capital Deal Matters
Oakland is now watching the federal trial of former Mayor Sheng Thao, where prosecutors allege that public power was traded for private benefits. Thao and her co-defendants have pleaded not guilty, and the jury has to determine what the evidence proves.
I want to make something clear: I am not saying the Loop Capital and Coliseum matter is connected to the criminal charges against Sheng Thao. I have no evidence establishing that connection.
But this trial makes a fundamental question about Oakland government especially important: How does the public know that decisions involving public money, public contracts and public property are being made transparently and in the public interest?
Here is the issue I want Oakland to address.
Loop Capital Markets, LLC was identified as a co-manager of Oakland’s $334 million general-obligation bond offering. Separately, the City identifies Loop Capital as the investment partner of the African American Sports & Entertainment Group in the Coliseum redevelopment through Oakland Acquisition Company.
The City of Oakland’s own website identifies Loop Capital as AASEG’s investment partner. The bond documents identify Loop Capital Markets, LLC as an underwriter. AASEG’s own website discusses both Loop Capital’s Coliseum role and its municipal bond-underwriting business.
These are two significant financial relationships involving the same city and the same financial organization – and one posing as developer and not just financier in the Coliseum case.
So I am asking: What disclosures were made? What potential conflicts were reviewed? Who conducted that review? And where are the records that allow Oakland residents to understand how these relationships were evaluated?
I am not accusing anyone of taking a bribe. I am not declaring that a law was broken. I am demanding accountability before anyone expects the public to simply trust the process.
The lesson of a corruption trial is not that every public-private transaction is corrupt. The lesson is that safeguards, documentation and independent scrutiny matter—and that the public must be able to understand how government protects the public interest.
To the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Joint Powers Authority, the City Administrator, the Finance Department and the appropriate oversight officials: please support an independent review of these overlapping relationships and release the findings, along with all records that can legally be made public.
If a sufficient review was conducted, show the public the documentation. If it was not, conduct one now.
Oakland residents should not have to guess whether potential conflicts were addressed. They deserve transparency, documented safeguards and answers.
This is about public trust. And public trust requires more than assurances. It requires evidence.
I’m Zennie Abraham CEO of Zennie62Media, Inc. and for ZennieReport.com and Zennie62 YouTube. Read the documents, ask questions, and demand a transparent process.

Vista Equity Partners Founder, Chairman and CEO Robert F. Smith joined CNBC’s Closing Bell with Scott Wapner to discuss the future of enterprise software, the rise of consumer AI and how artificial intelligence is reshaping the software investment landscape.
During the conversation, Smith shared his perspective on what will differentiate winners in the enterprise AI era, the growing adoption of agentic AI and the shift from traditional SaaS pricing toward usage- and outcome-based models. He also discussed how Vista is applying more than 25 years of Operational Intelligence to help its portfolio companies develop enterprise AI solutions built around governance, security and trust.
The interview also explores AI regulation, the importance of protecting enterprise data and where Smith sees opportunities emerging across the software sector.

Is California Law AB 1130 On Political Infuencers Legal? ChatGPT Raises Good Questions
OK, here’s a new California law that I question the legality of: AB 1130: Political Reform Act of 1974: campaign disclosures. https://ift.tt/dn14Rge and why is that legal and does not impact my right to freedom of association, but AMERICANS FOR PROSPERITY FOUNDATION v.
BONTA, ATTORNEY GENERAL OF CALIFORNIA https://ift.tt/QHZqjhd says that “In Americans for Prosperity Foundation v. Bonta (594 U.S. ___, decided July 1, 2021), the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6–3 that California’s requirement for charitable organizations to disclose the names and addresses of their major donors (via IRS Form 990 Schedule B) is facially invalid under the First Amendment”?
ChatGPT said:
The key constitutional question: Why is AB 1130 different from Americans for Prosperity v. Bonta?
Your comparison raises a legitimate First Amendment issue. The Supreme Court’s decision in Americans for Prosperity Foundation v. Bonta does not simply say that California may never require political or financial disclosures. It establishes a constitutional test that can apply to disclosure requirements, including those involving political activity.
The distinction California would likely emphasize is that AB 1130 does not require you to disclose all the people or organizations with whom you associate. It requires you to identify a financial relationship behind a particular political message.
An observwould not conclude that AB 1130 is unconstitutional solely because Americans for Prosperity v. Bonta invalidated California’s charitable donor-disclosure requirement.
I would also not conclude that AB 1130 is constitutional simply because California calls it a campaign-transparency measure.
The proper analysis is:
The First Amendment applies. The law compels disclosure connected to political expression, so the constitutional issues are real.
The government has a substantial defense. Voter information about paid political messaging is a legitimate governmental interest, and the requirement is narrower in subject matter than the blanket donor-disclosure rule struck down in Bonta.
Narrow tailoring remains essential. A court must evaluate the precise scope of the requirement, its effects on political participation, the statutory exceptions, and the enforcement provisions.
The penalties deserve separate scrutiny. AB 1130’s change to the consequences of noncompliance could matter to a challenge based on deterrence or chilling of speech.
I have not identified a court ruling specifically holding AB 1130 unconstitutional or upholding it against a First Amendment challenge. My assessment is therefore an analysis of the enacted law under existing Supreme Court doctrine, not a claim that a court has already resolved the issue.

Well, it’s a new day for publishers, columnists, bloggers, and vloggers in California and because there’s a new law called California AB 1130. According to an email I received from Law4Startups, “California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed Assembly Bill 1130 into law, adding legal enforcement to online political advertising disclosures. While California has mandated disclaimers on paid political posts since 2023, the previous statute lacked penalizing mechanisms for non-compliance. AB 1130 addresses this regulatory gap by empowering state regulators, such as the Fair Political Practices Commission, to levy civil administrative fines of up to $5,000 per violation. Additionally, regulators can refer willful infractions to law enforcement as potential misdemeanors, which carry potential jail time. Authored by Assemblyman Marc Berman following high-profile campaign primary incidents involving undisclosed influencer promotions, the statute targets paid political content supporting or opposing candidates and ballot measures across major social media platforms”
The article goes on to say “From a regulatory standpoint, AB 1130 highlights a growing national trend toward strict accountability in digital influencer marketing, advocacy campaigns, and sponsored content. State regulators are actively eliminating the legal ambiguity surrounding “organic-looking” sponsored posts, bridging political campaign disclosure standards with broader FTC endorsement guidelines. For commercial startups, this legal shift signifies that regulatory authorities are increasingly scrutinizing creator partnerships, affiliate marketing networks, and astroturfing tactics. Brands that sponsor content, deploy advocacy marketing, or hire influencers to shape public policy, regulatory sentiment, or consumer opinions can face reputational damage and legal exposure if their paid creators fail to include clear, conspicuous disclosures. ”
The question here is is it enough to mark “paid”, and leave it at that? And who will enforce the law?
Stay tuned.

Frontiers in Medicine is Stanford Medicine’s annual marquee event. In 2026, we explored the multiplier phenomenon in medicine and research; the idea that when the right minds collaborate, progress accelerates exponentially.
Hear from Stanford researchers and clinicians who demonstrate that principle—a chemist and oncologist joining forces against pancreatic cancer, a cardiologist working with oncologists to solve a problem created by cancer cures, and an engineer and radiologist developing a profoundly better stroke intervention. Joining them are leaders Dean Lloyd Minor, MD, and President and CEO David Entwistle, sharing how Stanford’s deeply integrated approach to patient care, research, and education creates an ecosystem where multipliers like these thrive—and how your partnership amplifies every discovery they make.
Witness this powerful reminder that together we can accomplish more than we can on our own. Visit frontiersinmedicine.stanford.edu to learn more.

oaklandnewsnowblog.com Presents:Amy Hillyard Oakland Update As New Clues Emerge In Case Of Missing Oakland Businesswoman & Friend A digital forensic review of home computer records revealed unexamined hiking trails in Oakland and Berkeley, providing a major new lead six months after Amy Hillyard’s disappearance. I am Zennie Abraham, Zennie62Media CEO, Oakland blogger and vlogger who was a regular at Farley’s East Cafe at 33 Grand Avenue and who interviewed both Chris and Amy Hillyard on verious occasions over the last 12 years. A group of volunteers is mobilizing Sunday to search unexamined hiking trails in Oakland and Berkeley, holding onto hope that a major new clue will finally lead them to the 52-year-old coffee shop owner who has been reported missing for just over six months. Amy Hillyard, co-owner of Farley’s coffee shops, was last seen walking near her Oakland home on March 25, having left behind her phone and wallet. Now, her family and friends have a renewed sense of hope following a digital breakthrough in the case. Private investigator Steve Fischer, hired by the Hillyard family, said a deep digital forensics dive of her home computer revealed she spent 33 minutes looking at eight different hiking trails in Oakland and Berkeley the morning before she disappeared. 🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?
