Gavin Newsom transformed himself into an internet meme. It’s running for president.
California’s erstwhile flesh-and-blood governor is now Gov. Max Headroom. Democratic voters seem happier this way.

Best article I've seen to articulate why I can't stand Gavin Newsom and hope he goes no further in his political career - go run your winery dude.

We could have eliminated Hepatitis B infection in the US…
…instead we are going to let newborn babies risk 90% chance of chronic infection that cause liver failure and cancer so that a few incredibly stupid adults - who are all vaccinated btw - can force their selfish science denial on other people

This is an excellent read. The more you know. #Science 🧪
“… we were advancing toward elimination of hepatitis B in the United States,” says Ward “I am deeply concerned that if the ACIP rescinds this policy, they’re going to contribute to the spread of hepatitis B rather than its elimination.”

I'm going to keep saying this in my effort to speak it into reality: Supreme Court should have at least 100 Justices with rotating panels (and maybe an en banc option). No single Justice should have so much power and they shouldn't be names everyone knows.
A court with a normal-ish conservative majority would have been tolerable. I'm not eager for court packing, impeaching justices, and other such options. But this court sticking around post-Trump is untenable. They've already torched their own legitimacy, the only question is what do we do about it.
Democrats need to lay the groundwork for reform by attacking the villains on the Supreme Court - loudly, angrily, personally, relentlessly. And they should start now.
