With respect to the level of effort that she's put into her Substack, almost everything there is paywalled. High quality voter education is only as useful as the reach of its audience, and those that need it are quite often the ones that will not/can not pay. Cheers.
Y'all, if you need a moment to restore some of your strength with all the bullshit in the world? Do yourself the favor of watching Drew interview Brittany Broski (and Mama Broski) on her show. If you don't know, you should. #broskination #iydkys

Enjoy this pleasing little ditty about the corruption of the orange rot in the white house. It's by Mox Populi and called "Pardon Me".

I don't expect answers, for sure. Getting them? Cool! But even on the smaller platforms, it is exceedingly rare for a candidate* to be the one making the posts.
*candidates with this kind of name recognition, etc.
I like Yee and Becerra so far, but haven't dived deep yet. thanks for the recs.
This, right here. Worth it. Take the time if you have some.
Riiiight, it's all Powell's fault. Not the orange isht-stain occupying the oval office. If only "Too Late" Powell had known to violate all of the best practices and smart policy controlling inflation...
We are heading for Reagan-era interest rates in short order if Trump is able to bully him.
Oh, and if you could NOT take AIPAC money? That would be dope.
"Thank you for your attention to this matter." (sorry!)

Hard conversations about CARB and the limited means to refine gasoline that meets those standards here in CA. Refineries aren't pretty, but $8/gallon gas is uglier.
This is just top of mind stuff. I have faith that within you is a practical leader that can do this. I hope I am right.
Comprehensive state tax (revenue) reforms to close budget gaps, such as deduction changes, and a retooling of property tax structure (including a modernized prop 13 that goes to a vote.)
Brutal, action-and-consequence driven regulatory reform of the PUC. Updates to CFRA that meet our needs....
A comprehensive plan to build housing that will overcome NIMBY resistance and regulatory drag on the process that slows it down and makes it more expensive.
What we need to do to save the southern Central Valley from catastrophic subsidence due to overuse of water resources for agriculture.
But that isn't enough to earn my vote in the primary.
Call out how you will differentiate yourself from your peers in the House and in the race for Governor. Don't just *tell me* - *show me* what you will do as Governor.
Here's what I'd love to see/hear/believe in:
Representative Swalwell, I think this is a fairly effective ad for people that are already inclined to vote for the status quo in the party: AIPAC funded, corporate sponsored, write a stern letter in lieu of action Democrats.
I acknowledge you've stood apart from that... sometimes...
I can't... ICE deported the Emoluments clause to oblivion. :(
This, right here.
To the OP of this thread, all that the current occupant of the white house needs is to befuddle and drag the legal process to get "his" votes to stay in power at the midterms. Whether that's a weaker executive order or SAVE, too many people will be excluded... and he wins. Ugh.
This is the most delightful thing on the internet today! <3 Thanks for sharing it!
He is a lying liar that lies. When will the media accept that he is an existential threat to the prosperity and peace we've enjoyed since WWII? No more dancing around it, no more half-steps or thought pieces like this that compare how he lies based on his audience.
Just call him what he is!
Jeezo, that's one creeper. Psychotic, yup. He's just a real ray of unnecessary. >_<
Someone has to pay for that hideous trophy with the groping, grabbing hands reaching upward to... peacefully (?) grab the earth? Or something something FIFA 'Peace' Prize, something something fans have long been betrayed by FIFA.
If you've been asking yourself why Trump's handlers are pointing him at Venezuela (other than obviously distracting us from the pending release of the Epstein files), Sky News put a great primer together:

The corruption is just out in the open. Been convicted of a crime? No worries, just get at least $1m in front of El Trumpo and voila, you're out:

Yes, this (so much of this) every year. I went to the store and came home with two dozen flour tortillas on Wednesday, anticipating today. People think it's weird until they try it.
How is anything these people saying seditious?
I try not to clutch my pearls/shit my skinny jeans at everything that the orange embarrassment in the white house says; the point of his dumb ass being there is saying unreasonable things to distract us. But c'mon, man.

Perhaps I am biased as a subscriber, but Sarah's right; traditional media is not meeting this moment. Independent media (and mainstream journos that have found themselves independent) are the ones leading the way.

Find an event near you; you are not alone, you are not powerless or voiceless. Do not give up your right to peacefully assemble.
The thin skinned shitweasels in the white house think they are louder than us. Maybe when they melt down on news shows, but that's just pathetic.

In defense of ABC news here, he did cut Vance off and ended the interview while Just Dance Vance was lying and avoiding additional questions about that $50k that ol' Tom Holman did-or-did-not take. That felt good to see, heh.
With deep respect for these parents and their losses, the lesson here is two fold: First? Parents, engage with your kids even when it's difficult. You matter to them. Second? While good legislation is possible, my faith is near zero that anything good will come out of congress for this.
Good question. What an appalling set of statements.
I like 4-as-3.
I called my member and both senators, even though all three are staunchly blue. They all need to be reminded to fight for this.
What do you think the odds are that any sort of worthy change comes from RFK Jr. on display like this, in his full, self-righteous arrogance? He should resign, be fired, or be impeached... but my "worst timeline" magic eight ball tells me "nothing will change."
