I don’t know man, who is “the Democratic Party” if it’s not the voters?Democratic voters choose candidates, not party leaders. And party leaders need to listen to what voters are telling us - and right now they are demanding our party be bolder.

What an absolute disgrace. A FIFA-certified referee being denied entry to the United States purely because he is Somali. The World Cup is meant to bring people together. This is racism, plain and simple. Shameful.

If you credulously do a segment about the vote in California in which you don’t say the president is lying, you’re spreading disinformation to your listeners.

"They leaked his tax returns, they tried to destroy him." If revealing your official tax returns -- something every single president and VP for forty years before Trump did voluntarily -- could possibly "destroy" you, that is the scandal.

The framing here - “graduates booed b/c worried about job prospects” - is reductionistic. No, I think the boos also reflect students’ ethical sensibilities about what “AI” and its aggressive rollout represent: corporate greed, environmental destruction, & dehumanizing exploitation, to name a few.

There’s a lot happening, sure. But a President saying he doesn’t think about Americans’ financial situation should be a national headline, not a footnote.

They told you they would. This administration is literally trying to kill off the most vulnerable. 36% of those on Medicaid in CA are children, 40% are births, 12% are seniors (including hospice/homecare), and 8% are people with disabilities. Inhumane and Unconscionable.
