This bears repeating on this app: Gavin Newsom is not your friend. He will suck the blood out of your grandmother if it means winning suburban Richmond in a presidential election. He’s a creep.

The best way to honor Charlie's memory is to continue his work: engage with each other, across ideology, through spirited discourse. In a democracy, ideas are tested through words and good-faith debate — never through violence.

I think Muriel Bowser is undermining every mayor and governor fighting the regime's occupations. It's real bad.

The number of people who told me last year that ‘it can’t get any worse for Gaza.’

But it always could get worse, things can always get worse- and they have.

We are now witnessing an official, full-blown, US-approved famine in Gaza.

Shameful.

Mayor Pete, what can you say about Israel's ongoing assassination of journalists?

Pete Buttigieg: I think that that's a profound question that arouses a lot of the biggest problems that have happened with Israel's survival, Israel's right to survival, in the diplomatic scene.

Correct. Pete is off my list. Period.
If he’s already ceding ground to transphobes before announcing his 2028 candidacy, he’s only going to move further right through the primaries—and even more if he somehow makes it to the general.

And if you think, “it’s just sports,” or “no, this is an actual concern,” then you can fuck off.
"I think in order to bring people together on this, we also have to take everyone seriously."

He's talking about bigots, let's not mince words.

Yeah, I'm never voting for Buttigieg even if he's the nominee. This is a bright line for me. You cave on trans issues and lend credence to bigots, it's over. I'm not letting the Dems go down the path of Labour.

This is a really smart read from @benmathislilley.bsky.social - the only thing I’d emphasize more is that candidates have agency! The more we can get people running who have strong values systems, the more they can take consultants as advisors, not directors. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Head Start, an early childhood education program for low income families, is on the chopping block. Growing up, my own mom was an aide with the program; it’s helped countless young mothers, including the one who tells her story here.

Some of the younger Democrats (Slotkin, Elissa) are the most stuck in 1990s poll-centered blah-ism. And some of the party's oldest figures are doing multi-city tours and using the right language (oligarchy) for these times.
We need values-centered, courageous, energetic leaders in the fight against Trumpism/MAGA--not simply younger ones. wapo.st/4ctbllT

Seen enough of Howard Lutnick, thank you! No more of that guy is needed at this time. If I need some more I will simply go to Oyster Bay, find the most expensive restaurant, and look for the person who is being the most obnoxious to the servers. Do not need additional exposure at this time.
