Thanks Edward - that was the toughest part!

Interesting insight from @mikemadrid.bsky.social on the unexpected rise of @xavierbecerra.bsky.social (Getting up at 5:23 a.m. to capture it!)

Why is Xavier Becerra Surging In The Polls? The back bencher candidate in the California Governors race has surged to the lead - the reason why might tell us a lot about 2028 and what the Democratic Party needs

Why is Xavier Becerra surging in the polls? I decided to do something no one else has done - meet the voters and ask them.

What I found was fascinating… open.substack.com/pub/greattra...

They were all invited. They had other things to do. Campaigns are busy things

The California Governors Debate: Can "Boring Competency" save the Democrats? Are Democrats now looking for boring competency over flashy style after the Swalwell implosion? Mike Madrid asks the question AND moderates the debate.

Style over substance came crashing down aling with Eric Swalwells campaign for California Governor.

Can Democrats find a candidate they want over one they’re told they need? open.substack.com/pub/greattra...

Hungary has chosen Europe.

Europe has always chosen Hungary.

A country reclaims its European path.

The Union grows stronger.

Shoulda waited for Mike Pence

The California Gubernatorial Primary Exposes a Fundamental Weakness of the Democratic Party A decade of anti-Trumpism has left the Democratic Party a hollow shell of its former self - and its running out of time to figure out what it stands for.

@mikemadrid.bsky.social actually just published a piece about this exact topic - but about the whole CA Dem party, not just LA.

A harebrained psychopath has control of the nuclear codes.

It has to stop.

Our country, our democracy, can't take another 33 months of what we've gone through over the last 15.

We must stop it.

Melanie’s Press Conference A recording from Mike Madrid's live video

Was Melanias press conference about saving her own reputation from leaked photos coming OR an attempt to distance from Donald Trump before the floor falls out? open.substack.com/pub/greattra...

MASSIVE Latino swing left in Wisconsin tonight.

In the last year this has happened in:

NYC
New Jersey
Virginia
Miami
Texas
California

The Vice President’s parents-in-law came to the United States as foreign students, at the University of California.

Long-term, Democrats need to have a positive vision, actually do things and not just negate, and provide aspirational vision (read @mikemadrid.bsky.social today). Short-term, being anti-Trump might be enough. But long-term, need to construct something and also x corruption & quislings.

Great piece by @mikemadrid.bsky.social on the massive social transformation underway as the cult appears to be collapsing. We should be prepared for MAGA violence, but we can win.

Also interesting discussion of how US economy could collapse if oil gets sold in Chinese yuan & other currencies.
