Gavin Newsom's interview with Ben Shapiro is worse than I even thought it would be. Not even with regard to his opinions, but to his utter fecklessness. What's even the point of some bridge building podcast, if you're just gonna say "I see your point" to everything. he just can't be prez I'm sorry

I don't think it matters much how we treat a handful of "saw the light" dolts but it's not clear to me why they're more interesting than people who were right all along
If any motherfucker on the right or center wants to oppose Trump that's fine by me do your thing but I'm not gonna throw a parade for you.

I am not here for Europeans telling me Americans don't know how crazy things are. The Nazis are killing people over here at the moment so we're busy but thanks for the input. I had hoped for solidarity but I suppose I'll have to settle for sneering condescension instead.

look he's seen the polling, this is not a statement about what's effective, it's a statement about what they want to be committed to doing with power should they win. if they run on opposing ICE then they'll have to actually oppose ICE. this is ideology masquerading as electoral strategy
NEW: In this interview, Chuck Schumer describes the "five buckets" Dems think are key to their possibly winning a Senate majority in 2026: housing, "the high price of food [and] food monopolies playing a major role there," electricity, "the high cost of childcare," and health care.
Zero Chucks Left to Give
Chuck Schumer now sees a path back to the majority. Can he manage his way through it?

Just because a lot of people are cruel, bigoted, and brainwashed doesn’t mean we have to find a “middle ground” with them or a “compromise” that satisfies some of their racist delusions. We just don’t.

My take is that professional politicians have to give an offramp to regretful Trump voters, but I, as a regular person, don't have to do shit. I will hold it against them until I die
Nuanced take: I think it's really important to give *normal citizens* who supported Trump and off-ramp and *professional writers, pundits and politicians* who supported Trump should have to wear it like a scarlet letter for the rest of their lives
This is aggravating, because on the one hand I think it's really important to give fascists an off-ramp and positive reinforcement when they use it...
...on the other hand, FUCK that guy, in particular.

The people of California will welcome you as liberators
More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland.
They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”
