Gavin Newsom spent the early months of Trump 2 having friendly chats with far-right extremists. He praised Steve Bannon shortly after he gave a literal Nazi salute.

Google "Newsom vetoes" for a long list of things he has fucked up for California. He's a snake and you shouldn't trust him.
You may have gripes...nobody is perfect, but Newsom has been a great governor. He's an excellent administrator, and if you want to join the circular firing squad which has destroyed progressive politics, be it on you.

The blatant use of false, inaccurate histories to arrive at a decision the majority of the Court clearly wanted regardless of the facts is a feature of both Dred Scott and Dobbs. It’s an apt comparison. 🗃️
If you see John Roberts in person, be sure to tell him he’s a worse Chief Justice than Roger Taney (pronounced “tawny”). That’s a nerd burn that will hit him where it counts.

Just a gentle reminder that Josh Shapiro signed Israeli bombs and wrote a whole racist paper arguing racistly that peace with Palestinians isn't possible because they aren't capable of it and only understand war.

This is who he's always been.

This is a total stab in the dark for my #phillies fan friends out there.

Ages ago (15+ years) the Phils sold this Phanatic ornament. My brother and his family had one they loved, but lost along with everything else in the CA fires last year. I can't find one anywhere online.

Anyone have any leads?

😍. if you allow me a moment of sentimentality, it's incredible to read people's takes on how much they value Bolts in recent weeks: getting such responses to something you've created (& worked so hard on) is feeling of a lifetime. Must remember to take time to step back & see it as that big picture!
Bolts is incredible. I'm already a monthly supporter and so grateful for their work.

They regularly elevate critically important issues at the local and state level– issues that impact our lives most directly.

In fact, I'm going to head over and make a one-time donation right now!
So, you know how people say stuff like, "just repost this & you'll have supported journalism"?

But this time... it's literally true!

Russ has offered to donate to Bolts for each repost this ⬇️ gets or each follow @boltsmag.org gets—up to a sum way higher than we're at.

let's make this go viral!

Where’s the CBS News town hall focused on the Democrats assassinated in Minnesota?
Bari Weiss has a CBS town hall set with Erika Kirk, widow of Charlie Kirk.

If you want to attend, you're asked a series of questions on an online form.

The first question is: “Do you consider yourself a conservative? If so, why?”

Russia was removed from Eurovision in 2022 over its invasion of Ukraine, but Israel is still allowed to compete despite being an apartheid state committing a genocide in Gaza.

Good on Spain, Ireland, and the Netherlands. I’m sure they won’t be the last to announce a boycott.

It’s kind of fun because it’s unfair to women in both ways where it’s like “women are faking having values and just want a big strong rich man because they’re shallow” and then also “women lied to me and care about bullshit I don’t agree with”

Quite breathtaking story - military grade drones at Dublin airport which flew on the path Zelensky's plane took. The drones reached the flight path of his plane exactly the time it should have been there, but just missed it because Zelensky arrived ahead of schedule:
Four unidentified military-style drones breached no-fly zone to target Zelenskyy's arrival in Dublin
Gardaí are investigating whether the drones took off from land in Dublin or from an undetected ship.
