The faction that wants the state to provide more services in exchange for higher taxes faces more pressure to deliver, yes.
This is also why extremism in modern democracies is usually far-right, not far-left - it thrives on not delivering, and the right can more easily lower delivery expectations.

For a lot of my life, that ballgame would have been the lead story in every newspaper. It's one thing for it to be behind a hurricane, but it's also behind "Trump went to Japan and nothing much happened," because Trump.

Wait till he finds out about the Reagan amnesty
Trump: "They cheated on a commercial. Ronald Reagan loved tariffs and they said he didn't. And I guess it was AI or something. They cheated badly. Canada got caught cheating on a commercial. Can you believe it?"

Gavin Newsom should buy the Reagan anti-tariff ad from Ontario and keep running it with a California logo at the end.

This is a real deep cut pardon because unlike the crypto guys he’s flat broke and the company is worthless, so they’re just pardoning him for the love of the game (the game is fraud)

Not the point, but I think it's a problem that, until this year, if I saw this person in my car window, I would assume he was a carjacker, and now I wouldn't know.

SESworkgroup@fire.ca.gov is the email address where CALFIRE is collecting comments for the single-exit work group. If you live in California and feel any type of way about the issue, send an email! Whatever level of sophistication you can muster would be appreciated. Fine to send a quick/simple one.

Cato put out this brief statement from me critical of U.S. military strikes on suspected drug running boats, strikes that kill those aboard "without trial, legal process, or public accountability." These extrajudicial killings would be unlawful, I observe, even if all the smuggling claims were true.

I imagine the shift from car charging during the night (when the car is at home) to during the day (when it often is not) may prove troublesome for some vehicle owners.

The study is about nighttime effectiveness, but I would like to mention that during the daytime, the Tesla Model 3 was the only vehicle that ever failed to apply automatic braking and was the only one that ever hit the dummy.
