Simple rule: the Senate should not confirm any appointee to any post who can’t say clearly who legitimately won the 2020 presidential election. Not just who was “installed”, but who won the vote and the electoral college.

San Joaquin Valley farms and urban areas. 95] In 2019, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) received nearly $2 million in Governor Gavin Newsom's first budget, and an
additional $8.5 million via the Delta Conservancy (a state agency focused on the Delta) to be spent over the course of three years. 96. The state has adopted an eradication campaign based on the successful effort in the
Chesapeake Bay, including strategies such as the "Judas nutria" (in which individualized
nutrias are caught, sterilized, fitted with radio collars, and released, whereupon they can be tracked by hunters as they return to their colonies) and the use of trained dogs. 961 The

Warsh may be a reasonable guy and capable economist just playing a role here. But if integrity and independence are qualities we value in a Fed Chief, he does not have them.

Every nominee who dodges this question tells us that they have no meaningful commitment to American democracy.

Not yet. It could be worse, though. I suspect positions will gel in May and there will be more stable orientation.

International: yes. But did conservative media get more intense in complaining? And even if they didn’t, sometimes the effect size may change with mysterious fundamentals (see: vibecession)

I’m the end, Coughlin was taken down by his reliance on a scarce pubic resource: his broadcast spectrum and the public’s right to govern it. Or so the court found. Now we don’t have even that.

That it leans unhinged and nativist is not a flattering mirror of the human condition. I note this type mostly fled the written form as soon as it could. Broadband is load bearing.

I look at the kind of garbage one-person-show you see doing numbers on Spotify or YouTube as a secular phenomenon.

Ngl it has made me a seething misanthrope, but at least I have come closer to the truth. No regrets.

I was happier and had a more optimistic view on humanity until the late hellsite exposed me to polling data.

I can see why Finland decided to free their hands to deploy land mines. I don’t see how massive arms packages can do the job or be interpreted as reliable, there needs to be an asymmetry

Our dude seems to know something, in which case it might be in good hands. But he’s not spilling the beans! Or, rice, perhaps. bsky.app/profile/anse...

Perhaps this is why the field is fairly cursed, but admittedly, hard to justify standing up the policy bureaucracy while polling so low until a week ago. I figure this is why it was timely to write my email.

Nice one. Well at least you didn’t waste time in the airport that time (as some people allege)

Need is a strong word. Is this a reasonable expectation for a professional governing a state on one of the most pressing issues it has control over? I think so. Becerra was able to absorb much more technical content and inform a bevy of programs when giving HHS testimony. He can do it.

How much time did you have upon getting to the second one? And was security slow, or relatively fast?

Is this early? I suppose since I’ve never missed a departure, I presume you haven’t either save a two sigma event

Given I’m perfectly comfortable at a coffee shop for an hour, 1.5 really lands somewhere in that zone. SFO is apparently a fairly nice airport (I have no trouble sitting there), so that may affect my calculation.

How early is early here? Some people say five (that is super early), I usually aim for two but I don’t get that angsty with 1.5.

The trifecta: enough write up to make it look like you have staff that read Terner/LAO/SPUR/whatever

Principal is not necessarily an expert but can navigate the connections between state levers in person and qna.

Signal willingness to put that AG lawsuit experience to work internally.

In short-short: Steyer has a competently drafted PDF, but displays almost no fluency with it when questioned save the topic of revenue.

Porter seems to be waiting for Godot (congress) and serving us warmed up leftovers from her time there. No state levers except enforcement obliquely mentioned.

I wrote his campaign today saying…you gotta make a housing platform, people. The other candidates aren’t that great, you can surpass them. I briefly criticize them both (porter, steyer) for my perception of their weak points on this.

It’s better than just poasting through it, though. It has happened.
