Gavin Newsom transformed himself into an internet meme. It’s running for president.
California’s erstwhile flesh-and-blood governor is now Gov. Max Headroom. Democratic voters seem happier this way.

Best article I've seen to articulate why I can't stand Gavin Newsom and hope he goes no further in his political career - go run your winery dude.

Dipshit is smashing out a car window with his gun, barrel first. Just rogue, cowboy stiff.
There were two US citizens in the car. They were apprehended and detained for “obstructing” ICE by honking their horn to let people know ICE was in the neighborhood.

How awful. This is outright health disinformation, lying to the American people. Not only is there massive evidence showing no link between vaccines & autism, there’s not even a plausible mechanism based on what we’ve learned about the genetics of autism, some environmental exposures in pregnancy
HEADS UP: CDC website now officially asserts that vaccines may cause autism.“Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities.” Also says the “vaccines do not cause autism” header remains b/c of an agreement with Cassidy.

Those claiming Dems should retreat on racial justice aren't hard-headed realists, they're pushing against the electoral tide rather than leaning into it. The story of Gen Z isn't about racist backlash or red-pilled young men. It's the most racially progressive generation in American history. 🧵

Equalizing electricity prices between residential, commercial, and industrial customers would save households - aka voters - 21% on their electricity bills. Commercial prices would go up 1%. Industrial prices would go up 59% because residential and commercial customers deeply subsidize them today.

CALIFORNIA will be covering 100% of lost federal tax credits for enrollees earning up to 150% FPL.
That's around 290,000 current enrollees, or ~14% of their total exchange enrollees.
They're also covering a portion of the lost subsidies for those earning 150 - 165% FPL (around ~100K I think)
