American pharma companies are clearly pulling drug brand names from Croatian surnames. You can’t convince me that Gvardiol and Pasalic aren’t being proscribed somewhere for gastric distress and depression.

Glad it’s been made official that Trump is a cursed being waking the Earth and without him the Knicks would have won in 4.

The DCCC sometimes tries to interfere and make sure the "correct" candidate wins. The excuse was they were trying to make sure the most electable candidate went to Nov. A common reason would be that the mod candidate was the best fundraiser. That wasn't the case in CA-22. It's pure ideology.

Glad to see Mai Vang in #CA07 doing so well and possibly adding to a list of young and interesting progressives in Congress aligned with Justice Democrats. I believe she would also be the first person of Hmong descent to win federal office. CA might be getting those bragging rights over Minnesota.

I really don't understand why we wouldn't just delay releasing the votes until they are counted. Two plans to address CA's slow counting: 1. Invest hundreds of millions of $ to improve the system 2. Add a silly bureaucratic layer so that election day votes are segregated and counted after late VBM.

In 2022, LAPPL spent $3.4 mil against Bass while a coalition of wealthy Angelenos and unions spent $2.4 mil against Caruso. Bass also had over $5 mil in positive support from unions. Could see the same dynamic lead to over $8 million in spending against Raman in Nov over the $1.2 mil already spent

Graham Platner seems to be saying his past drinking was so bad that certain misdeeds can't be used to gauge his current judgement or character. But his recollection of that time has such clarity that he can outright dismiss the claims of physical violence. A kind of Schrödinger's alcoholic excuse.

This seems like it's the unpopular opinion, but I dislike the interior of the new LACMA building even more than the exterior.
