Are these guys dense? Newsom is not trying to “mimic” Trump. He’s making fun of him.
JD Vance: "This idea that Gavin Newsom is somehow gonna mimic Donald Trump's style -- I think that ignores the fundamental genius of President Trump's political success, which is that he's authentic."

The California Supreme Court late Wednesday denied a Republican petition to block the state’s new redistricting plan.
The decision clears the way for Democrats in the legislature to approve the map, which would then be placed on the ballot in a November special election.

Yesterday's BLS July jobs report was released 8.5 hours after July ended (or 5.5 hours Pacific). Also keep that in mind when wondering why updates/revisions are necessary.
Why do the jobs numbers get revised?
our markets and policymakers want data NOW but employer data dribbles in over months
1st estimate is based on the 75% of employers who respond promptly
Updates occur as more data rolls in: 95% response rate by final revision 1/N

Love Wins isn’t weakness. It’s resistance.
We don’t become what we’re fighting.
We don’t stoop to cruelty.
We hold the line without losing ourselves.
Love gives us something to fight for — and it’s how we win.

Marc Elias, one of the Democratic Party’s most prominent lawyers, welcomed any converts to his brand of brass-knuckle politics.
“I do not believe, when it comes to elections, that Democrats should ever engage in any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith,” Mr. Elias said.

Trump just moved to outlaw women veterans who are victims of rape or incest from getting abortion care at VA.
Republicans don’t care if your health is in danger, if you’re a veteran, or if you’ve been raped—they want abortion outlawed everywhere, for everyone.

Sure seems like the President of the United States is going to pardon a convicted sex trafficker and serial abuser who ran a pedophilia ring with his best friend in the whole wide world.
“The reason for the move is listed as a “lesser security transfer” (code 308), which is completely inappropriate for inmates who are in the early stages of serving their sentences. ‘This is such obvious corruption. I have never seen this before.’”

EXCLUSIVE: Someone Waived Ghislaine Maxwell's Sex Offender Status to Move Her to a Minimum Security Camp in Texas
According to sources, you can't move someone with a Public Safety Factor (PSF) designation - which Maxwell had - without waiving it. That's what happened here.
