Is there a path for either Kamala Harris or AOC to be elected President in 2028?

@carolineheldman & @shanesmith30 have a candid conversation about the challenges for female candidates in this clip from @CNNTheStoryIs.

What do you think?

[Elex Michaelson @Elex_Michaelson]

What do voters in the South think of @GavinNewsom?

@CNN's @IsaacDovere traveled with him to South Carolina. He says Newsom drew a largely white, older crowd...that was impressed by what they saw.

"It's a good start...but there's clearly a lot of work to do."

We weren’t overreacting to Project 2025. We were reading it.
Chapter 13 called for shrinking federal food programs, weakening regulatory oversight, and rolling back restrictions across agriculture and food production.
Now Americans are watching recall after recall: E. coli. Listeria. Cyclospora. Eggs. Berries. Lettuce. Herbs. Meat.
The warnings weren’t hysteria. They were written in black and white.
The problem wasn’t that people overreacted.

It’s that too many people never bothered to read what was coming.

It’s official. @ConsumerAttysCA no longer represents the interests of survivors of sexual violence. #StandWithSurvivors

This has become a classic example of backroom negotiations need daylight. SB 577 has now incited a flood of cop association opposition. Should make for interesting caucuses today for leaderships. Tough vote to force on their members.

[Dr. Caroline Heldman @carolineheldman]

California is poised to become the first state with an impossibly high standard of evidence for survivors who are raped as children in schools, detention centers, and foster care. Shame on @LACountyBOS, @ConsumerAttysCA and everyone else who pushed this through.

As some lawmakers who previously stood with victims fold and get in line for SB 577 how pathetic to hear them extol the value of the prevention measures in the bill. If the prevention measures are so important why not already enact them?

🚨BREAKING: Postmaster General David Steiner told senators that, under a new proposed rule, the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) will not deliver mail ballots unless states hand over their voter lists to the Trump administration https://t.co/WA59TUHa59

As Trump kicks off America 250 celebrations, @carolineheldman tells @Elex_Michaelson --

“This is very obviously not a celebration for all Americans. Trump has made that very clear.”

[The Story Is @CNNTheStoryIs]

House Speaker Mike Johnson said “there are many Mamdanis popping up all around the country. It is a dangerous thing.”

@carolineheldman and @mattklink weigh in during a panel discussion with @Elex_Michaelson

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

A federal court just confirmed what everyone already knew:

Trump’s DOJ is illegally using the machinery of government to target his political enemies with bogus investigations.

That’s not justice. It’s corruption. IT MUST END!

[Dr. Caroline Heldman @carolineheldman]

@Elex_Michaelson @joelpollak @CNNTheStoryIs Always great to tackle the news with Elex! Joel and I agree on almost nothing except California is the best place to live 😊

[Dr. Caroline Heldman @carolineheldman]

THIS is why we're calling on the @LACountyBOS to do a full investigation into sexual abuse in county facilities. Instead, the Board of Sups is making it harder for child survivors to file claims in the future.
