Trump officials are planning to propose oil drilling off the California coast for the first time in decades, according to a draft map reviewed by The Post.
The move is sure to antagonize Gov. Gavin Newsom and other Democrats in California.

Why Do People Choose Authoritarianism Over Democracy?
The appeal of authoritarianism isn't about wanting to be controlled; it's about removing the protections of democracy to control others.

ESPN just cooking their own asses for no reason. This is truly nuts. Trump hates sports and hates football and they put him front and center on their programming. This has zero to do with sports. If I worked for ESPN I'd be livid they're pushing Stephen A Politics and McAfee as their name brands.
Trump to Pat McAfee: "I'm only joining you because I hear you say such nice things about me. When people say nice about me, I join. When they don't say nice about me, I take a pass."

I'm mad about the shut down and worried about healthcare, but not letting people starve is a pretty good reason to cave on this bureaucratic fight, the more I think about it. So just say that: Republicans wanted you to starve rather than compromise, so we let this one go.

It isn't the strategy I wanted. I think Republicans would have, in fact, eventually caved (by killing the filibuster). But here we are.

instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

Instead of folding like cheap chairs, Democrats should have forced the GOP to end the shutdown by killing the filibuster. Holding onto the archaic, antidemocratic tradition doesn't help them stop fascism, it makes them complicit to it.

Instead of caving on the shutdown, Democrats should have waited for the GOP to cave on Trump’s demand to scotch this antidemocratic tactic.

Truth
Folks have been telling me they’ve noticed I’ve gotten “a lot more political” on social media this year.
Of course I have.
The circumstances have gotten nightmarishly worse, and the consequences of inaction and staying silent infinitely more obvious.
Everyone needs to get “a lot more political.”

Trump: "Nobody knows what a magnet is"
“Negotiating your own insurance” will result in everyone getting the dirt-cheapest junk plan which covers virtually nothing, because most people are terrible at risk assessment.
Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"
