I am in shock at the stupidity of @gavinnewsom.bsky.social inviting Steve Bannon on his podcast. Many of us on the right sacrificed careers to fight Bannon, and Newsom is trying to make a career and a presidential run by building him up. Unforgivable and insane

The flushing of public investment, of talent, and of trustworthiness is breathtakingly inefficient.
It's like burning down the house because you need to make some updates.
