I happen to be of the opinion that Newsom REALLY sucks and would also be a particularly bad candidate (even in the context of "any Dem candidate is a good candidate in 2028" being inarguably true) but this is the correct/coherent argument for why neither her nor anyone is somehow apocalyptic ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Rep. Stansbury: The Trump Admin is covering up powerful people
YouTube video by Rep. Melanie Stansbury Rep. Stansbury: The Trump Admin is covering up powerful people

Trump and the DOJ are covering up for powerful world leaders who are named in the Epstein filesโ€”including themselves.

From the glimpse Iโ€™ve seen in the files, itโ€™s much bigger than we ever imagined. We wonโ€™t stop until the truth comes out and justice is served.

Pete Hegseth used an untested laser system powerful enough to down drones, blind pilots & damage planes without notifying the FAA, forcing Sean Duffy to shut down airspace over El Paso, all because they thought we were under attack by what turned out to beโ€ฆ party balloons?!

Are you fโ€™ng kidding me?

AOC and Warren join forces in high-profile child care push ahead of midterms As Republicans urge Americans to have more children but offer few supportive policies, Democrats believe reducing child care costs could be a winning message.

Fixing the affordability crisis in this country means delivering universal child care.

By moving to the โ€œcenter,โ€ Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Trump: widening inequality and the unchecked power of billionaires.

There's no "center" anymore between a takeover of the government by oligarchs and true freedom.

Dems need to learn this.

The Trump administration said it is ending its deployment of immigration agents to Minnesota. Theyโ€™re framing it as Minnesota agreeing to cooperate, but most of their statements are false.

I have never seen a photo that more clearly captures someone that is self-aware about being horrible, to the point of strong insecurity, but is still horrible and knows it is the source of their fragile little bit of power so is being performative about it. She's in over her head and she's pathetic.

What I can say definitively about the El Paso airport closure is that there was not a threat to the El Paso airport or its airspace and there was no legitimate reason to shut it down. Now we need answers about why airspace in New Mexico still remains closed.
