DNC should have elected Ben Wikkler. Rather than going with the person who could organize, they went with the person they thought could fundraise. DNC ended up with neither.

Morning Memo, your weekday chronicle of the depredations and absurdism of the Trump II presidency: morningmemo.talkingpointsmemo.com

Choking on the blistering injustice of the Callais decision, even normie Democrats are starting to make noise about drastically remaking the Supreme Court.

Prepped to cancel Paramount+ tomorrow.

In Congress, I was a proud cosponsor of the Black Maternal Health Momnibus Act. I've been sounding the alarm for years on the disparities in care that Black mothers face, and I will fight for the healthcare every Californian needs as Governor. x.com/TeamKatiePor...

“The reforms I’m describing do not come naturally to me. It’s something I resisted for a long time, but I think if you look at what's necessary to reinforce democratic self-government in the United States, you simply can’t do that with the filibuster and this Court in place.” — @joshtpm.bsky.social

Grateful to share that with the San Francisco Chronicle's endorsement, I have received the endorsement of every major editorial board that has chosen to endorse. Let's win this.

This is pretty amazing.

I'm the candidate who understands that the status quo is not making life better for Californians. My life's work has been about holding big corporations accountable. I will go toe-to-toe with Sacramento special interests to protect California families, because that's what Californians deserve.

1. 🧵"If you are taking seats from Black people...then you are a thief." Baton Rouge civil rights activist Gary Chambers said the quiet part out loud Friday as GOP lawmakers push to wipe out Louisiana’s majority-Black districts. See the heated exchange👇

I am the only candidate for governor who refuses corporate donations. Period.

"Democrats and independents who care about competence, experience and ideas need to coalesce around a Democrat to lead California toward realizing its vast potential and addressing its considerable challenges.For us, that person is former Rep. Katie Porter."

You Can Have Democratic Self-Government or the Corrupt Court — Not Both talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/you-c...

The Roberts Court finally achieved its years-long goal of killing the Voting Rights Act Wednesday, publishing a ruling that, the liberal justices say, will make proving racial discrimination in redistricting virtually impossible.

Democrats' fight on gerrymandering needs to be a model for abolishing the filibuster and reforming the corrupt Supreme Court - the two reforms that make a civic democractic future possible talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/the-b...

As expected Josh Marshall lays out Trump's dilemma. It's become clear previous administrations didn't start bombing Iran because they knew the geographical leverage existed. It took a team as stupid as Trump/Hegseth/Rubio to ignore the basic truth. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/the-s...

Mollie Hemingway's new Alito book, a gushing hagiography of the Court's most open partisan, reveals the depth of right-wing fantasies about leftist violence. Fascinating look at the threats a movement premised in grievance but in complete control has to invent talkingpointsmemo.com/news/alito-h...

It's tax day and, ironically, I don't feel like a success knowing I pay more in taxes than the richest man in the world. Anyone else out there trying to breath through the outrage?

There is no good reason the US media doesn’t publish articles like this. Only bad reasons.

No matter how awful we fear Trump will be, in the end we will wish he’d been that good. Been saying this since 2016 and the thought still keeps me awake

At least he limited the lying to 20 minutes

The media, wholesale, derided President Biden’s pullout of Afghanistan as “botched” — over 120,000 people were evacuated, and 13 American soldiers were killed. His popularity took a nosedive and never recovered.

If you’re an American service member who gets killed in a retaliatory strike, your family can take comfort in the fact that it was done in service of making the host of Celebrity Apprentice feel like a big man for a minute, before he moved on to something else and forgets about this forever
