People keep asking me who I want in 2028, and I find the question exasperating.
Let's get through 2026 first. Let's take back control of Congress. Let's get a majority that blocks Trump.
Any 2028 aspirant who is focused on that, too, will get my attention.

Abigail Spanberger was told to throw trans youth under the bus during her campaign. She refused to do so.
She won the election by 15 percent. A dominant victory. A landslide.
She was just sworn-in as the 75th Governor of Virginia, the first woman to lead the state.

"I doubt Senator Kelly will see this blog, and if he does see it, I imagine he will not be pleased with it. He’ll probably find it embarrassing. His humility likely makes him bristle at stuff like this. Well, that’s just too damn bad, Senator."

Trump has transformed the justice system into a Putin-style autocratic protection racket. The wealthy are not audited or investigated, if convicted they are pardoned. Political opponents are targeted. Unidentified masked agents grab people off the street, and protesters are shot.

They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”
