And Governor Goodhair was doing this while preparing to run for President in '28. Which says a lot and none of it good about Newsom.

Newsom went all in on a utility industry bailout and failed. What's left of the bill stops hedge funds and private equity firms from buying insurer claims and profiting from wildfires. www.latimes.com/business/sto...

Colbert really was right about you people. And that was twenty years ago now!!

One you might find surprising. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt & members of her team have been extremely helpful in responding to questions I raise. Regardless of public facing commentary, privately they are willing to engage and address questions. And I have appreciated that. Thank you

Because Polis is at heart a Glibertarian rich guy. He's always been that. The people that ran, or run, the party are too willing to let people like Polis run under the Democratic banner if they self fund or otherwise have little trouble raising mountains of money.

Buttigieg: "In my experience, Sen. Cassidy is a normal, honest, & very conservative Republican. It turns out people like that have less & less of a home in Donald Trump's Republican Party. We are seeing more extreme candidates. It's organized more & more around one man, who remains deeply unpopular"

I feel like wild conspiracy theories are the collective expression of something that widespread materialism suppresses: an understanding that coordination between people really does have a (potential) quality that is magical, in the sense that it can create something from (apparent) nothing

And what are we supposed to do about it when the so-called opposition party hasn't said a word? In fact the Senate Minority Leader is quietly cheering Trump on.

Tom Nichols@radiofreetom.bsky.social

When you wonder why I castigate my fellow citizens more often than our leaders, consider that the United States is *this far* from war with a nation of 90 million people and no one seems to give a hoot. It's not like they don't know; ten minutes of watching the news would tell them.

I feel like we've had an actual pro-democracy popular front in this country very recently, and it was Zohran Mamdani, Brad Lander, and their constituencies/political traditions joining forces to defeat Andrew Cuomo, a murderer and abuser openly supported by our pedophile dictator & his billionaires.

Did you ever look at his Twitter feed? People who say this garbage only, apparently, knew him as a name and have no clue what he actually said.

Asawin Suebsaeng@swin24.bsky.social

My main objections to his work was not what he “said,” it’s what he did. Any talk of how he enjoyed debating people for purposes of farming viral views misses the point

Sarah Longwell@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social

...Voters really, really care about controlling immigration and crime. They just do. And if voters don’t think Democrats will take those issues seriously, they elect a garbage human like Trump who will seize the opportunity to expand his own power.

We certainly know that Alito and Thomas would gladly walk Obergefell back. But, the Court as it is comprised of now, almost surely doesn’t have the appetite. Anything is possible, but Barrett and Roberts (I suspect Kav too) aren’t going to bite. Don’t trust them. But let’s be good legal realists.

Meta’s platforms are a playground for scammers. They know it. They profit from it. I’m looking for ways to hold them accountable. Zuckerberg shouldn’t be able to hide behind legal loopholes while everyday people are being ripped off.
