Most of all she has been much more honest and forthcoming than most of her opponents. Laura Fine can't even admit she knows that AIPAC is supporting her campaign heavily and the PACs are fronts for them. If she can't be honest about THAT you think she is going to be honest about anything else?

I understand framing the AI bubble RAM supply crisis in terms of stuff like video game consoles because nerds can conceptualize that but the framing does really undersell the sheer magnitude of how it's going to fuck up everything that even touches a computer.

America's REAL dad.
Obama: "Right now we're being tested. And the good news is what we saw in Mpls and St. Paul, and what we're seeing in places across the country included here in LA, has been the American people -- at least a good number of them -- saying 'we're going to live up to those values we say we believe in'"

I do think there’s a certain type of Democrat that realizes it’s possible we are dealing with a perfect storm where almost any Democrat will win, and are terrified we might nominate radical candidates who will actually engage in needed change instead of status quo corporate centrist bullshit.
One of the interesting things this time around is just how hollow the whole thing sounds. In the past, people have been able to use the empty concept of electability to anoint and position the person they demanded, but now that Republicans are getting obliterated everywhere, that doesn't work.
If I were a Democrat concerned about winning elections and was hearing that a significant number of voters wouldn’t support Gavin Newsom in 2028, I would simply stop pushing Gavin Newsom in 2026.

It's kind of funny how Hayek's (mostly correct) argument against central planning because concentrating that much economic power in one place inevitably lead to totalitarian behavior is also a pretty strong argument against like, extreme concentrations of wealth and market power

If you are wondering what words the all-male Congress found so "blasphemous" that they felt compelled to literally scrape them off the monument, they were: ''Woman, first denied a soul, then called mindless, now arisen, declared herself an entity to be reckoned.''
On this day in 1921, Congress reluctantly accepted a sculpture memorializing women’s 19th A victory. Congress relegated the memorial to the Capitol’s crypt & painted over the feminist inscription. The statue stayed entombed in the crypt for 76 years. The inscription is still not restored. #WeTheMen

If a coffee shop knew that there was a gang of hooligans hanging around the shop just for the purpose of harassing other customers, they would tell the gang to leave. On here it's more like they have a permanent table right at the front.

The rest of the world is looking at the midterms too.
In a normal, functioning democracy a tiny proportion of Trumps crimes would make him and his party unelectable, it wouldn't be remotely close and could even be existential.
The GOP must be obliterated for the message that America can save itself.
