@casendems.bsky.social and @assemblydems.bsky.social really fumbled the ball with #calcare! This was a no brainer. We need single payer healthcare in California! We should be leading the way for the rest of the country.

Can’t we have both? Experience and bold new ideas? Can you imagine what that would be like? Competence. It’s a foreign sounding word.

All she had to do was drop her support of Israel and she would have won. That's literally all she had to do. I'm sick of hearing about her. She has not learned anything from her failures and neither have the Democrats.

I wish blue maga would talk more about AOC if they want to stop Trump so badly.

Sooooooo do we think California can pull its shit together and rally behind a couple candidates? I avoid the news now so is Dem leadership encouraging the low polling candidates to drop out? Is Becerra pulling ahead?

I hope

GOP consultant predicts Epstein's depravity will collapse after midterms President Donald Trump may act like he is answerable to no one, but an ex-Republican consultant warns that he and the rest of the “Epstein class” are nearing the end of their heyday. “Everyone knows how much the Trump family cares about the little people,” wrote Steve Schmidt, who previously advised President George W. Bush, in a Substack post on Tuesday. He then showed a picture of First Lady Melania Trump going to an immigrant detention facility wearing a jacket saying, “I don’t really care. Do u?” “She’s a beautiful soul," Schmidt wrote sarcastically, and then proceeded to tell the story of Amanda Ungaro, who was reportedly held in an ICE detention facility for more than three months by her ex-partner Paolo Zampolli after Trump intervened to help Zampolli in a custody dispute. “Melania claims it was Zampolli who introduced her to her soulmate at the Kit Kat Klub in Manhattan in 1998,” Schmidt wrote. “That’s the story at least. Ungaro came to the United States via airplane at age 16 or 17 from Brazil. She arrived via private jet.” Schmidt then quoted Ungaro declaring on social media about Melania Trump that “I will tear down your corrupt system, even if it's the last thing I do in my life. I will go all the way—l am not afraid.” She added, "Maybe you should be afraid of what I know... of who you are, and who your husband.” Schmidt even connected Trump’s failure to distance himself and his wife from the convicted late child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein to his recent seemingly staged photo op with an elderly female DoorDash driver. “Donald Trump’s out-of-touch stooges thought it was a good idea to cast a grandmother in the role of a happy serf kissing the feet of her Lord with gratitude for his dispensations of a half pence to the low and unseen,” Schmidt wrote. “What it showed was the corruption of our age and the rot of American life. It showed the chasm between the Epstein class and normal Americans.” Schmidt went on describe Trump's Mar-a-lago home in Florida as a "place of corruption, decadence and depravity," and he noted the president's inability to climb out from beneath Epstein's shadow. The First Lady, for example, has repeatedly denied the accusations about her and Epstein being linked, including in a surprise press conference last week. But critics say Trump has failed to bury the Epstein scandal, despite his repeated efforts to do so. “The American people don’t need any help being suspicious about the government’s handling of Jeffrey Epstein,” reported CNN’s Aaron Blake in February. “But the Trump administration keeps giving them more reason to be anyway.” Blake aid "the plausibility" of victim's claims "isn’t the main point; the point is that an increasingly politicized Justice Department — one where a massive banner of Trump was hung last week — did not release documents containing allegations about the president.” He added, “In a vacuum, that would be problematic. But next to everything else, it’s really bad.” Three out of four Americans said Trump is “hiding information” about Epstein, according to a recent Reuters and Ipsos poll, while a recent CNN poll put the number at two out of three. Indeed, the Trump administration only released the Epstein files that were disclosed when forced to, and has subsequently “failed to redact lots of victim information while apparently redacting more than the law called for in other areas, including the names of potential and suspected Epstein co-conspirators. The administration claimed it didn’t ‘redact the names of any men,’ but it clearly did.” Despite others facing legal consequences in nations like the United Kingdom, no one in the United States has yet faced judicial accountability for their involvement with Epstein. But Schmidt predicted big changes in 203 days. "I will see multitudes in the streets joyously celebrating as the MAGA Congress is obliterated," Schmidt said. "I see Lindsey Graham defeated.I see the beginning of the reckoning at hand. The disgrace of this era is far from over and the worst lies ahead, but I can see something very clearly. The world does not exist like Donald Trump sees it. His fantasy is crumbling."

I feel like my whole personality has become perimenopause and my hobbies are now oversharing with my friends, taking supplements, and plucking chin hairs in my car.

Ah yes the response of most bullies “whaaaaat I was just joking”

AOC: “The mistake that I made, you know, from all the movies that we see growing up about heroes & villains — is that I thought that fascist takeover attempts were going to be architected by evil geniuses — I was not expecting how unearned, nepotistic, mediocre, & just dumb the architects would be”

This is the joy I needed to see today 😍

Orban called. Tisza have won

Margin too big for him to attempt to rig the vote

Important day for Hungary - and Europe

🇪🇺🇭🇺💪🏾

So this is probably the best reason I’ve seen to vote for #Becerraforgovernor

His experience running HHS will help navigate the incoming shitshow from the trump social service cuts

Dems need to start listening to and including the progressives and denouncing and divesting from Israel. Or what happened with Kamala will happen again and we can’t continue this way.

They’ve instituted “time place manner” policies and are limiting students ability to protest. Source: my kid was a protestor. Even did a hunger strike. I’ve seen the rules change.

Ummm, people were deported, arrested, expelled, colleges/universities lost millions in funding and attacked by the U.S. government. Colleges no longer want their kids protesting but the kids are out there, just at the no kings marches.

The rats are jumping shipped. Meanwhile, those three are like the band continuing to play as a Titanic sinks

I don’t want to vote for any of the candidates in California’s
Governor race. This is disheartening.

My heart hurts for the people of Iran and my family. No one is stopping this crazy person. Where is our government?

@misleaderc.bsky.social you’ve got a new mascot

My MyChart password was not auto filling so I was scrolling through the saved passwords on my phone and came across Myspace. Do you think if I login I’d reset the timeline?

Why do we live in such a childish, stupid country? A country that wastes its money on useless billion dollar aircraft carriers, when it could be spending those tax dollars to actually help its citizens like sane countries.

Puts a new spin on “calm your tits”

They are joining us across the pond

We are traveling abroad. I’m awake in the middle of the night (5am) after not being able to fall asleep until after 2. I’m anxious, worried, & scared. Im not even really following the news, just bits here & there….how is everyone coping?

I appreciate what the discover page served up.
