Platner doesn’t seem like “it” to me, but I don’t see why one poll (that seems legit to me, but it’s still just one poll which necessarily reflects modeling assumptions) should end a primary with 6+ months to go. Dem voters will probably ingest this information and vote accordingly - that’s fine!

beginning to think something is not quite on the level with this Donald Trump fellow

Excited to see Katie Wilson pull it out over the loathsome yet unremarkable Bruce Harrell. It will be interesting to see what ratfucking is attempted of her by the key stakeholders in the Seattle Process, who largely succeeded in bringing Mike McGinn down last time there was a threat to their power.

darrell steinberg gubernatorial announcement when

It’s so cool for her to be like “yeah I learned it from the few actual reporters left at your paper.” She’s so cool (and my toddler who generally doesn’t care for most screen time agrees).

Abolish, prosecute, and convict the senate

Cool move for @schiff.senate.gov and @padilla.senate.gov to both have closed their voicemail boxes. Hopefully that means some other Californians beat me to it and told them to refuse any “deal” that doesn’t fully fund ACA subsidies.

Kavanaugh stop

I’m the guy who says Democrats should simply clone Zohran and run him with no adjustments as the candidate in every election across the country.

Those with a keen memory for political trivia will recall the time Dick Cheney “accidentally” hit a friend in the face with a sandwich while quail hunting — and then made the friend apologize!

Dick Cheney has returned to an undisclosed location way, WAY down below.

[to the tune of “Viva Las Vegas”] Zohran Mamdani

He shall, from time to time, post

Hey @thecityofsac.bsky.social, let’s bring this idea here! We should not let Berkeley lap us on forward-thinking cycling incentives! What do you think @caitymapled5.bsky.social?

It’s cool how the year the mainstream media and Hitler-curious Democrats have gotten back into their comfort zone of saying “all this climate change hogwash is just a bunch of hippie shit” started with the LA fire apocalypse and is ending with Jamaica being obliterated by a Category 6 hurricane

Kavanaugh Stop

Seems obvious that whatever “influence” he was allegedly driving under had a lot more to do with this crash than whether he entered the country with papers. Of course, this @ocregister.bsky.social barely even mentions the DUI part while breathlessly parroting DHS’s claims about immigration status.

It is time for Cal Raleigh to dump 62

1984: arguably the last genuine landslide, mandate-granting presidential election perhaps ever. Reagan infinitely vindicated, Walter Mondale consigned to be a pathetic punchline symbolizing pre-Clinton Democratic haplessness. Mondale still got more than 40% of the popular vote.

I’ll reserve judgment until the full report is out (municipal power is great!) but this doesn’t make sense to me. There’s no power without the transmission lines. Is the idea that the new utility would pay SDG&E for transmission capacity only? That’s still going to cost a lot of money!

We cannot solve the housing crisis with Los Angeles rowing the opposite direction. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social must tell @mayor.lacity.gov to pound sand and sign SB 79 as soon as possible.

Pete Hegseth Is Practicing Politics the Right Way.

imagine looking around any American city, suburb, or small town and thinking “what this place is really lacking is an Abundance of Big Ass Trucks!”

Beyond the laughable claim that this white Mormon felt unsafe expressing his Christian beliefs in PROVO of all places, his public LinkedIn clearly states he is studying for his BS at UVU (which does not have a medical school). Too bad @nytimes.com doesn’t employ fact checkers equipped with google!

It’s a workers’ party now

New 2028 frontrunner just dropped

Heard about legislation that makes you distressed? Use this helpful acronym: READ R ead the bill! Do not talk about or write about a piece of legislation you have not read E A D

When it’s time for a change, think SpeeDee Oil Change - your oil change, tune-up, and smog experts.

Law confirmed fake

I was assured the wallet inspector was fully registered with the appropriate authorities!

Pee tape is (still) real

“Viewed by CNN” like it’s the fucking pentagon papers lmfao

$160k - $220k in car value

People are criticizing Trump’s “domestic policy bill” (lol) for the fiscal impact and stealing from the poor to give to the rich, but at least IVF is free now like he promised!

legal analysts keep saying “you know, the rule the court established isn’t unreasonable, it may even be good!” But the thing is that it’s not the rule at all. You’re being told Calvin’s latest rule in Calvinball and thinking “ok well this one makes sense.”

It is imperative that we bring back the pussy hats

Signed up to contribute to my union’s PAC

Valadao likely ends up caving because he is a coward and a loser, but also worth noting that his district has about 4x the SNAP participation rate as the rest of California (which is already a relatively high participation state).

Donald Trump retire bitch

This is not ambiguous, it’s just lying about verifiable statements (racistly).

This is funny, but, you know, it also seems a little serious to me. Even worrisome!

They never tell you how not funny the “farce” in “first as tragedy, then as farce” is

The news is bad, but it’s nice that we are back on the subject (at least tangentially) of “George W. Bush is bad”

It’s such a shame that so many voters are/were unable to remember who was president in 2020

Who says we need to build in the coastal zone, look at all that dark red territory for new housing!

I’m sure a democratic and stable state will simply form, reaffirm its commitment to the NPT, and extend a warm invitation for normalized relations and mutually beneficial security arrangements with the United States

For anyone who missed it, “Truman in 1945” is clearly a reference to using nuclear weapons, which the US ambassador to Israel hopes will kick off the end times
