I don’t admire or trust Gavin Newsom. I’d vote against him in any primary.
But I’ll vote for him or anyone else nominated for the general election.
My cat. A hamster. Or Franklin Delano Roosevelt in his present condition.

Yup. Fuck every single one of those people.
And fuck everyone who says they won't vote for certain Dem nominees also. Vote against them in the primary, fine. In the general, vote for the Dem, otherwise you're responsible for what else follows.

Whether this was random street crime or targeted political violence, I think it was bad for the president to unnecessarily put the National Guard in harm’s way like this. They simply don’t need to be there.

This clip from the documentary Art of the Surge gives some insight into how Trump's tweets are made.
Trump can be seen dictating to his aide Natalie Harp. We also see the entire room brainstorming, with Matt Gaetz and Stephen Miller contributing ideas.

Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

The primary reason men perpetrate sexual violence is to bond with each other.
That’s why there are so many text messages and emails. For most rapists, the satisfaction doesn’t come from the violence. It comes from the power they get after bragging about it.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
