If Newsom or whomever is the best chance to take the White House from Trump/Vance or whatever Christian Nationalist, techno-fuedal billionaire fascist we dream, I'm all in.

Fuck you and your purity tests. Without freedom and democracy, trans people have no chance in hell.

The same people saying they won't vote for Newsom because he isn't outright supporting the trans community are the same people who would have sat out on Obama bc he didn't openly embrace gay marriage.

Miss me with the bullshit, sanctimonious virtue signaling purity tests.

There's always a tweet.

Well, now we know what the plane was a gift for.

Betrayed them with the withdrawal his first admin drew up. Betrayed them by letting Isis fighters out of prison. Betrays them by feeding them to the wolves.

Are we sure it isn't just another tariff extortion racket?

Because he sure likes to use tariffs the way mobsters use violence to extort businesses.

Thank you for the many kind words today.

I am very close to announcing a gubernatorial run. To win Florida, the Democratic nominee will need to genuinely unify and inspire a coalition of Democrats, independents, and common sense Republicans. I am committed to doing my part as a Florida Democrat.

A president who wants to go back to ZIRP.

It's just as simple (and asinine) as that.

And extremely punitive for small businesses that don't have the resources to get a carve out, let alone a platform to plead their case.

From Reddit - 3D printed Starbucks - yes real life.

I cannot understand why they left the exterior with the same issue small scale prints face. Stucco it, put some other form of exterior on it.

This Senate bill to slap limits on the president’s tariff power now has SEVEN Republican sponsors:

• Grassley
• Moran
• Murkowski
• McConnell
• Tillis
• Young
• Collins

Senators Chuck Grassley (R) and Maria Cantwell (D) just introduced a bill to reassert Congress’s power over tariffs.

—President must notify Congress on new tariffs within 48 hours of imposition.

—Congress must approve them within 60 days or they expire.
