Holy shit, it wasn’t your imagination. Look at this poll. New Gudelunas Strategies numbers show Xavier Becerra surging, the same momentum we’ve been seeing online. Not a top-tier poll, but still, the direction is clear: Becerra is rising fast after Swalwell dropped out. Keep the polls coming!

When I am Governor — if you start chasing people, including U.S. citizens, we get to come after you. Cross that line in California and we will investigate you. We will arrest you. And we will prosecute you.

Hey, today a few of my peeps and I launched a fund raising money to support survivors of sexual violence and trafficking. For people who've benefited from programs paid for by $ that (we learned later) caused great harm, & for people who just want to be part of bringing more healing: ashrufund.com

From Thoreau to Dr. King to today, speaking out against injustice is an American tradition. And today, people are speaking out because children are being denied basic care, something that should never be up for debate.

Trump pressured Republican states to rig their electoral maps, because he saw a midterm disaster coming for his party. He knows they will lose big without rigged districts. Virginia can level the playing field and stop his newest scam tomorrow by voting YES for fair election maps. #VoteYesVirginia

Like... no. Their job, if they win in November, is to spend the next two years making Donald Trump's life a living hell and prevent him from making things worse for the rest of the time he's in office. They are there to gum up the works.

The fact that every major police union endorsed Donald Trump is under appreciated in our political discourse.

Last week the cast of Fox & Friends realized that a sexual assault survivor would help their case in court if they told their friends about the abuse immediately after it happened. I couldn't help but think of E. Jean Carroll who did exactly that.

The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X. I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!). So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

“!The march concluded with a moment of silence at the intersection of Ashland Avenue and Cullerton Street, where Herrera was killed.” “My sister will not be another cold case,” Herrera said. “She had dreams, she had a future and her life mattered. We refuse to let her be forgotten.”

New, from me: Take the Palantir manifesto seriously, if not literally. It reveals that our tech philosopher kings want public money, but without public accountability. This creates a dilemma for governments unaligned with its techno-fascist vision. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/palantir-w...

America’s largest bank is expanding its data center in Orangeburg, NY, near the New Jersey border. In exchange for $77 million in tax breaks from the state and county, the bank promises to create exactly one permanent job. My story in @nysfocus.com: nysfocus.com/2026/04/20/d...

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations: Alphabet: 8.01% AT&T: 4.6% Meta: 3.57% General Motors: 3.09% Amazon: 1.37% Exxon Mobil: 1.31% Disney: -1.57% CVS Health: -3.88% Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5% This is what a rigged system looks like.

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.
