We should have recalls in Congress first (both the House and Senate).

I was leaning towards Xavier Becerra anyway.

Agreed. I prefer either Tom Steyer or Xavier Becerra as Governor than Katie Porter. Katie Porter lacks the temperament to be Governor or any elected office.

15 years ago or so, Coachella might have been worth attending. Today, definitely not worth attending.

15 years ago or so, it might have been barely worth attending. Today, it is definitely not worth attending.

Agreed. I remember my roommate from college (It was from a UC school and this was freshman year) going to Coachella with his older brother in 2011 and it costs just under $300 for a ticket. Today, it costs more than twice that. Coachella is not worth attending these days.

I would argue that it is not exactly a win for the left but it is a win for democracy. The new prime minister is actually a centrist at best and a center right ringer at worst. That said, Trump, Putin and Netanyahu will not be happy.

I concur. I was going to vote for him in 2026 but after the multiple allegations, he lost my vote. He should do the right thing and drop out of the CA governor race and perhaps resign from Congress. bsky.app/profile/will...

I was going to vote for you until the sexual allegations against you. You have now lost my support. For the sake of California and perhaps the country, please drop out of the CA governor race and perhaps resign from Congress. Your political career is probably over. You are such a disappointment.

Democrats are not perfect but they are 100 times better than the current GOP. I will vote Democratic over the current GOP anytime and anywhere. America, vote blue like your lives depend upon it because they do.

Eric Swalwell lost my support. This is me in San Diego supporting him in January of this year. I was going to vote for him this year but the allegations are too much for me to vote for him. He should drop out of the governor race and perhaps resign from Congress immediately.

To be fair, Democrats are not much better (at least the leadership of the Party [e.g., they send out strongly worded letters, they ask voters for money and lose many elections, they tell voters to wait until the midterms when Trump and his party could literally end democracy in a heartbeat, etc.]).

Yup, the minute the GOP nominated Trump in 2016, it is no longer the GOP. It is now MAGA or the American Taliban party. Today, if anyone is still a Republican, they are a Trump or MAGA supporter even if they say they do not support Trump (I am looking at you Marjorie Taylor Greene).

My title would be, "From loser to winner: how I flipped a deep red congressional district blue."

Put it this way: I want Shawn Harris and company to prove me wrong in November by winning GA-14 in 2026. If he does, it will probably be the biggest political earthquake ever. Heck, he should write a book about how he flipped a deep red district blue.

In fact, he is already trying again for November of 2026. That said, I have a feeling that it will actually get harder for him to win in November of 2026 because Democrats usually fare better at special elections than general elections.

The Speaker of the House reminds me of the Deep from the Boys while Trump reminds me of the Homelander. The Speaker is loyal 2 the President just like the Deep is loyal 2 the Homelander. Both sets of people (both real and fictional) are truly villains. Hopefully, they get their downfalls in 2026.

I'll bet if the two Republican candidates do not advance to the general election for Governor than I think will Trump could bomb San Francisco and/or Los Angeles. He's as deranged as the Joker, the Green Goblin and/or the Homelander. Congress do something now before this lunatic kills more people.

*As for consequences, here is a list: 1. More people dying. 2. His removal from office via election loss in 2026 since your opponent will not resign willingly. 3. Possible trial and imprisonment for dereliction of duty. 4. History's harsh judgement of people like your opponent.

Well said by you. And 2 your GOP opponent, Troy Balderson: get back 2 Washington D.C. and impeach and remove the malevolent lunatic in the White House before he gets more people killed. If you do not, history is not going to be kind 2 you and your ilk. Do the right thing or face consequences*.

I wish we could recall members of Congress and recall Senators. But no. We have 2 wait until Election Day so we can vote them out. We seriously need major reforms to our government (e.g., term and age limits, banning stock trading, getting big money out of politics, reducing gerrymandering, etc.)

And she is not in Congress anymore. Same with Adam Kinzinger who also is calling for the 25th amendment but he is not in Congress anymore either.

I read Trump's message in Mark Hamill's Joker voice or William Dafoe's Green Goblin voice or Brad Dourif's Chucky voice. He is that psychotic. 25th amendment now! Or myriads of people will die and Felon Trump will be laughing maniacally.

I could read Trump's message in Mark Hamill's Joker voice or William Dafoe's Green Goblin voice. He is that psychotic. 25th amendment now! Or myriads of people will die.

STEP 5: MAKE SURE THIS NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN.

25th amendment time. Calling my senator and representative today to ask to impeach and remove him.

NY-17, you deserve better than Mike "Lawless" Lawler in 2026. Vote him out. Apparently, he is okay with a civilization dying. Well it is not acceptable to me and to any other sane person.

I wish our President was not a real life villain. Donald Felon Trump would make a good tv or movie villain but he is a abominable President and human being. Heck, I would vote for the Joker, the Green Goblin, the Homelander, etc. over this man. At least they are more honest about their evil ways.

Well said by you but I would have added, "P.S. If you do nothing to stop this madness, I will do everything in my power to make sure you never get elected to Congress or any position in government ever again. Do the right thing and remove the mad man in the White House now!"

Same here. There are only a few people in Congress that I like but they are a teeny-tiny minority. The rest of Congress are full of sociopaths/psychopaths and nincompoops.
