Great summary @gilduran.com thank you! To any of my friends who support Gavin, you must stop and read this now. He is not a progressive and he is not gonna help.
I’ve watched Gavin Newsom’s career for 20+ years. It’s a buffet of big lies & failed hopes
Like Trump, he breaks promises, serves billionaire interests & mistakes social media theatrics for leadership.
Is that what we need in 2028?

The claims of Kristi Noem and a mass of MAGA talking heads about the mortal peril faced by ICE agents are a pure lie. What a surprise.
Here's what DHS doesn't want you to know: Working for ICE is one of the safest jobs in America — and last year was the second-safest year for the agency on record.
And the doxxing? It hasn't actually happened even once.
The masks are justified by a lie. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/ice-s-mask...

Working for ICE is actually less dangerous than being an elementary school student in America.

I suspect there are a lot of House Democrats in their 70s or 80s who think they're going to coast back into a comfortable leadership position by keeping their head down and riding the blue wave, but they're going to have to navigate these kinds of challenges first and most are not ready at all.

“Don’t talk to me about my own morality,” DeLauro shot back.

This is bonkers. MAHA 'farmers' with ecoli tainted raw milk admit they really don't know how to make the stuff after all.
