It's kind of funny to me that not only do they keep doing this where they leak "we got a deal!" every week to steady markets, but also they literally leak it to the same dude at Axios every week and it gets printed on and reported with the same slack-jawed credulity every week.

they won't be satisfied till they get an ethnically cleansed state

The way every big tech company does this with their icons every 5 years

Reporters don't talk enough about how Republicans do not consider Democratic voters to be fully American.

Hopium!

these guys should just admit that giving Trump a senate majority is more important than being a decent Christian, instead of trying to twist themselves into knots to explain why Talarico is actually a worse Christian than Paxton this whole thing is just so embarrassing

Big crowd today calling for California Cap-and-Invest funding to stay for housing and transit, rather than a multibillion dollar giveaway to Big Oil. Keep contacting @governor.ca.gov and @airresources.bsky.social ahead of tomorrow's vote! Link to send letter in the reply.

yeah you gotta willie horton ken paxton. have the party committees and super pacs run ads explicitly accusing paxton of covering up for a child abuser. “you love your children and would do anything to protect them. so why would you vote for a man who lets child abusers run free”

A come and take it flag with an egg potato and cheese taco

oh hey it’s literally the exact thing i was saying a couple of weeks (and months, and more than that) ago that should worry the shit out of executives and will be very difficult to actually prevent

the position here is that being a liberal is itself a heresy and that the only real christianity is whatever happens to be aligned with the republican party

CAHSR was established without many "super-powers" typical of mega-projects, leaving it under-powered compared to local elites, private utilities, and massive freight railroad corporations. If we want high-speed rail built faster, this needs to be rectified.

The largest survival community on earth is just earth actually

Anyway, me and my partner are signing a lease at a market rate apartment today, that was built in the last 5 years, and is currently being rented at rents affordable to 60% AMI. Tenant advocates have really inflicted untold suffering on Californian renters it’s unreal.

The way that the GOP is immediately responding to Paxton v Talarico, I cannot even deign to conceive how big the crashout will be if Talarico wins

today I learned that the James Talarico "six genders" thing refers to him listing six different combinations of X and Y chromosomes (XX, XY, X, XXY, XYY, XXXY) that occur regularly. that isn't even lefty in any way, that's just a factually true statement!

New Team Transitory just dropped

Just curious, is this guy still the darling of the Center for New Liberalism?

"idk man it seems like a stretch that all of right-wing politics could just be porn-brained masculinity anxiety" they're gonna call him a sissy or a cuck on national TV within a month i PROMISE

My dude,

I don’t know if Blexas will be doable even in this environment, but this is the best chance we’ve got at it and I think winning in Texas will be psychologically devastating to the GOP the way losing Ted Kennedy’s seat in MA was to Dems we need this to happen so they’ll lose their fucking minds

all this stuff is just barely-veiled code for "talarico is a [f-slur] and you're one too if you vote for him"

And it’s not even June, incredible stuff.

Donald Trump's approval rating is the lowest of any president since our poll with YouGov started in 2009 www.economist.com/interactive/...

BART to the library!

This is why you leave the restaurant and go to cafe that’s open late. Get your coffee, ice cream, or a little cookie or tart fresher and with a little more time for your stomach to settle

Well, video games are for children

Incredible that they've taken Talarico saying his order at a particular taco place was a potato, egg, and cheese breakfast taco and turned that into "he's a vegan." Just straight-up old-school flim-flam.

Republicans: California is a FAILED STATE because of DEMOCRAT policies Also Republicans: That Prop 13 though. What if we also did Prop 13

the real permanent underclass is being born after 1970

This plus the regional transit measure

But... but... all Sandy wanted to do was ensure that no one could change her mom's house ever again in the future

Shoutout to all the volunteers and advocates who made this possible. One step closer to saving Caltrain! 💪

Bay Area transit utopia incoming :)

if MAHA were a meat industry conspiracy to trick people with cardiac disease to choke down as many beef products as possible before they croak, it would be doing exactly what it's doing www.statnews.com/2026/05/22/s...

When regulatory effort goes into ensuring a 15-year-old can’t ride an electric bicycle, lawmakers seem to lose sight of the fact that 16-year-olds can operate a 6,000 lb SUV. electrek.co/2026/05/26/a...

On one side you have drivers purposely running over cyclists, shooting them, and operating their vehicles while fatigued, under the influence, or distracted by their phones. On the other side you have one "extreme" example of a guy throwing his bike at a car. But "Road rage can go both ways."

"Nissan has halted the e-axle project in the UK, citing sluggish sales of its electric vehicles and a consequent decline in market share." Note when Nissan and Ford and Honda and GM surrender and retreat from China it's because their BEVs aren't globally competitive, not that EVs aren't selling.

those air strikes were self defense so the ceasefire is still on. no don't ask what we were defending against or whether that violates the ceasefire. also don't look at Lebanon that doesn't count. we're 95% of the way there dude just give us a little bit. Marco's working on it.

Every metropolitan area in the US should be studying congestion pricing now to be ready to implement with a new administration. There is no other tool that so quickly and effectively decreases traffic, increase bus speeds, increases transit ridership, and reduces emissions.

Going by yard signs Mahan made significant inroads with three crucial California demographics: - Chinatown business owners - 10 acre estates in Los Altos hills - conservative abundance zoomers who post on r/YIMBY

TRVTH NVKE

not even in the top ten most cringeyist annoying things Dundon said in the interview full of layups and softball questions from Oram, but it seems designed in a labratory to drive me personally insane to say that the blazers FO is eager to find ways to make parking near the stadium easier

GIVE ME A MOVIE WHERE MON MOTHMA ORDERS A Y-WING STRIKE AGAINST AN IMP REMNANT BASE IN A POPULATED AREA

Orville Peck. Next question?

twice a day i find myself monotonically reading out a recap of the Iran Dealgreemenorandum of "Understanding" headlines and it is different and also the same. let's invest in lottery tickets.

At some point we really need to have a talk about the inherent slopulism of “results” politics
