Welcome to 2026, where the derp just keeps getting derpier. We about to be live on #Downballot. Come see 'bout dat: www.echoplexmedia.com/calendar/202... #AllDerpIsLocal #SanJose #SanFrancisco #Oakland #BayArea

I don't think a lot of people read the administration's national security strategy document but it was essentially an effort to shoehorn Trump's contradictory and unfocused desires into a cohesive worldview. www.ms.now/opinion/trum...

Yeah, man, the only difference between your career and Mark Rufallo’s career is the political stuff.

okay i am sorry to be that bitch but the one word you can't use to describe this is "unprecedented."

In every Trump action there’s always a tell—a clear sign the entire scheme is a lie—and journalists are *supposed* to be looking for it. The mausoleum strike, if confirmed, is that tell: the proof this strike was just about an angry sociopath abusing our troops for personal gain.

The editorial adverb

If you come for the Bad Baby's preschool, The Good Wife and I will end you. Period. #zerotolerance

Right now the US position is literally that Trump cannot be held to account in our own courts but can be unilaterally surrendered by his powerless domestic opposition to be held to account in any other nation that wants to do it, and I say we take him up on it

I'm shocked, SHOCKED, to learn Trump is a hypocrite and Republicans in Congress have no ganas. If only there had been an election to give us another option... Oh, but Kamala Harris has a funny laugh. Our democracy isn't broken. We are.

God what an unbelievably uncreative boring weenie. Just the lamest most stereotypical SV billionaire manchild. I'm actually angry at how lame this is - and of course he's recently backed out of this for *some reason*

It's another record-and-post week for #Downballot. We'll return to live broadcasts soon, for promise. In the meantime, enjoy this GIF of a dancing cat! #AllDerpIsLocal

Something for everyone! Just like Thanksgiving dinner at The Olive Garden!

We can spend all day calling out these fascists for what they are. But we put them in power. We did. By staying home. Leaving our ballots on the coffee table. Embracing racism, sexism, or just plain apathy. Look in the mirror, America.

I had a phone interview scheduled with Bard admissions in 1995. It was canceled when the campus got snowed in. I subsequently and graciously declined enrollment. 😂 #LeftCoastLife

You say this as though journalism still exists.

Yes.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL! #AmericanFascist

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

Only this guy. Do we really have to endure it for three more years? Please send good drugs. Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving. 🦃

Here’s Seth Meyers’ hilarious take on Trump’s turkey pardon today. The only thing more fucking stupid than this tradition is Trump himself.

We've been away from #Downballot about a Scaramucci longer than Beya Alcaraz was a Supervisor, and we'll probably spend even more time talking about it, starting in 5 minutes or so: www.echoplexmedia.com/calendar/202... #AllDerpIsLocal #BayArea #SanFrancisco #SanJose #Vallejo

President Ocasio-Cortez. Let's make it happen, people. #ElectionNight

I don’t need a message from Newsom. I came to that conclusion on my own. I suspect most of us did. It was based on listening to what Miller says, watching what he does, and understanding history.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

It's time once again to wade deep into the derp on the 69th Best Podcast in California (according to some dude)! Join us in the now space: www.echoplexmedia.com/calendar/202... #Downballot #AllDerpIsLocal #SanJose #SanFrancisco #Oakland #Napa #SanRafael #Cupertino #BayArea #WholeFoods

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

Nothing like #Phish at MSG for NYE. Highly recommend going at least once before they retire for reals! #sorrypenny

This is us? #downballot #recallwatch #throwthemout #quorumcall sfelections.org/results/2025...

Folks! @plex-dave.bsky.social is taking a break from streaming this week, so California's 69th Best Podcast will be download only. In the meantime, check out last week's ep on the YouTube thing: www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9pn... #Downballot #AllDerpIsLocal #MattVsGavin

I work at a high school, so I'm reminded of this every day. #memoryentropy

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

San José City Hall flags are flying at half mast for this national hero. Thanks, #MAGAMatt. 🤮

There was significantly less political violence in America prior to the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign. We all know why. That doesn’t change that what happened today—in both Utah and Colorado—were tragedies. It simply underscores that revisionist history isn’t going to solve America's problems.

Join us in just a few minutes for The #Downballot #Podcast #sanjose #sanfrancisco #oakland #bayarea #local #news #localnews #politics #california twitch.tv/echoplexmedia

About this Florida vaccine story: When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough. We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated. “Oh, they’d have died.”

And there it is. Well then. What's next?

Okay, it's true. I mostly post here about our show. But it's a really good show. And I say everything there that wouldn't fit here anyway. So you should tune in at 7:30pm PT: www.echoplexmedia.com/calendar/202... #Downballot #AllDerpIsLocal #SanJose #Oakland #SanFrancisco #BayArea
