Grijalva: I was looking at the example of now-Representative Walkinshaw from Virginia, who was elected two weeks ago Tuesday. The following Wednesday—less than 24 hours later—he was sworn in, with unofficial results.
So for me, apparently the rules have now changed in just two weeks.

Vote by mail ID issue could be solved by either submitting a copy of your ID with the ballot or sending a scan of it to your election office with a bar code to coordinate the two. I’m sure smarter people than me could figure out something reasonable. Trump’s proposed ban on mail ballots is BS.

Newsom is a poll-driven animal. But at least I'm glad that the polls are telling him to say this.

Newsom: "He doesn't play by a different set of rules. He doesn't believe in the rules. As a consequence, we need to disabuse ourselves of the way things have been done. It's not enough to just hold hands, have a candlelight vigil, talk about way the world should be...we have got to meet fire w/fire"

If the person in charge of cutting government expenses benefits hugely by getting government contracts, is that corruption or just good business? Is this just the reality of how things need to work or could we do it differently?

CNN interviewed more than a dozen experts, and they said that no fire hydrants would have been able to stop the LA wildfires with the high winds. “I don’t know a water system in the world that is that prepared for this type of event,” said one expert.
No ‘water system in the world’ could have handled the LA fires. How the region could have minimized the damage | CNN
Widespread destruction from the L.A. fires was inevitable, given the drought and winds. Still, the region could have been better prepared.
