Eight Democrats just bent the knee to Trump, risking millions of Americans’ healthcare. This is a bad deal and Democrats need to be willing to fight and stand up to this authoritarian regime, no matter how painful that may be.

well damn, Schumer's level of fuckup is such that, not only was my phone-call-loathing Husband again motivated to call his office, he just left a voicemail like
"Hello, I'm a constituent calling to say Chuck Schumer is a snake and a liar and must be replaced by someone with a spine. Thanks"

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Pod Save guys saying exit polls show 12% of Californians who voted for Trump in 2024 then voted on Prop 50 in 2025, voted YES to redistrict Republicans out of 5 seats
The median voter is so frustrating and confusing, it’s obvious the answer is to NEVER tailor your message for them

The thing that so many people don't get is that if you are running as a Democrat and your base is Democrats, you can't attack the Democratic Party without attacking yourself and your base. It's more effective to establish a distinct brand of Democrat.
notable that Peltola, who positions herself as a D with exceptions for Alaska specific issues (notably guns), has done very well. so it's not just tacking to the center. it's specifically attacking the party.

The Mayor of New York only makes $260k. I bet there are police that make more than that in NY with overtime.
We need to pay elected leaders more money and stop pretending it's some sort of calling. They're managing hundreds of billions of dollars in investments and millions of people's lives.

I'm glad Prop 50 passed. I don't fuck with Gavin Newsom. Find someone else.
I need Democratic online types to understand that because of this, Newsom is dead to me. Dead. I'd sooner vote for an actual corpse. There is no hope, none, that he'll win me over, *because he has established he is a bad person*. There's no coming back from this. Take my advice and move the fuck on.
1. This morning, California Governor said he was in "complete alignment" with anti-LGBTQ+ hate-influencer Charlie Kirk of TPUSA on transgender sports.
He also conceded on trans inmates and gender affirming care for youth.
It's so much worse than being reported.

When many other Democratic leaders in Congress were cravenly supporting the run-up to the Iraq War, Nancy Pelosi opposed it and whipped votes in the House against it.
She has many other career accomplishments but that brave and prescient stand is what I'll remember.

We crunched the federal data and found the US is on track to have the *fewest inspections since 2011* (excluding pandemic years).
In recent years, the FDA has typically been able to conduct ~110 foreign food inspections each month, but in March, the number of inspections dropped almost in half.
