Don’t cave. And don’t let your colleagues cave either

Schiff has a full voicemail box and Padilla has NO voicemail box. Ugh.

Interesting, the last time there was a big jump was the election after Trump's first inauguration... nearly the same amount this time, but from a much higher base number!

I was looking up Election Day 2026 info today (kind of randomly) and happened to notice that for City of Berkeley candidates there is an extended deadline if the incumbent decides not to run by the regular deadline. now I know why it’s written that way.

When I learned how much the delivery services keep (not the drivers) during the pandemic, I insisted we pick up when we were getting our once a week takeout. It’s a habit that mostly stuck.

I only give directly to campaigns these days. No text or phone call solicitations for me and I tell the phone callers what I’m doing.

DNC Chair @kenmartin.bsky.social could decide to sever this contract today and dramatically shift the Democrats’ campaign outreach strategy & budget to meet the moment.

Yep I got it too.

Please support the bipartisan war powers resolution to prevent further escalation.

The dilemma is that Hillary Clinton was by far the best candidate ever nominated by any party in terms of experience. And yet she lost the electoral college. It’s that part of our system that makes a woman nominee so tough. I really hope to see a woman president in my lifetime (I’m 60).
