AOC has a better shot at 2028 than Newsom does, that prick already threw in his lot with the rightwing podcasters and the transphobes.
Reactionary centrists can whine about "purity tests," but fact is Dem contenders now must have spine & principles. Candidates without that will struggle in 2028.

2028 watch: The most effective ad for Prop 50 came not from Gavin Newsom. It came from AOC.

In the 80s and 90s, your average Wendy's was trying to look like a sit down restaurant. The big 3 - especially McDonald's - should probably stop with the grey box conversions and start doing something like that.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

There are no shutdown-related requirement for SNAP renewal. But it would predictably result in low-income families going hungry.
