Like I keep saying, cows don’t vote.

This is a good visual aid for folks who aren’t from California and have never driven from one end of the state to the other.

Republicans win thousands of square miles of mountains, deserts, and tumbleweeds.

Democrats win where the people are.

The judicial version of the Streisand effect:
Embarrassed by Judge Boasberg's order quashing the Jerome Powell GJ subpoenas, @USAttyPirro asks him to vacate his opinion as moot. Boasberg says no & embarrasses her further. She "harass[ed]" Powell for nothing more than "displeasing" POTUS.

@aziz0nomics Meanwhile supporting a man who started a war no wanted to cover up what’s in the Epstein files is apparently cool with all of you. Self righteous hypocrites.

To everyone so eager to cancel someone for a tattoo they got at age 22, a drunk text, a selfie they took in the middle of a mental health crisis:

Show us your laptop.
Show us your iCloud.
Open your entire digital life to your worst enemy. No context. No filter. No explanation.

You won’t.

You won’t because you know what I know. Any one of us, frozen at our worst moment, photographed in our lowest hour, looks like a monster. Looks like a stranger. Looks like someone who deserves to be cast out.

That is not who we are.

My mom and baby sister were killed in a car accident when I was just a kid. Cancer took my brother Beau, my best friend and my rock. I battled alcoholism. I battled addiction. I chose the coward’s way out more times than I can count.

For years I believed the defining chapters of my life were written by tragedy, loss, and shame.

I no longer believe that.

Pain can shape us. Loss can humble us. Failures can leave scars that never fully fade. But none of them have the authority to define us.

And it sure as hell ain’t the critic that counts.

That authority belongs to us alone-the person in the arena.

Every setback presents a choice. Play the victim, or cut the bullshit and take ownership for who we become next.

Life does not determine our character. It reveals it.

Again and again we are asked the same question. When shit happens, what next?

We are not defined by what happened to us. We are not defined by the worst photo, the worst text, the worst tattoo, the worst night. We are defined by the person we choose to become. And by the courage to choose that person, every single day.

So before you reach for the gavel - show us your laptop.

You won’t.

The whole world saw mine. And I am still here. Still becoming. Still choosing. Still standing.

That is the only definition that matters.

Well it seems like Dr.Oz just admitted by accident that Trump is visiting Walter Reed Hospital daily for some kind of treatment likely Infusions.

Hawaii just passed the first state law in the country banning corporations from making political donations in state elections.

Now a Koch-backed legal group is suing to overturn it.

Big Money won't get out of our politics without a fight — one that we the people must win.

Great. First the grifters were pretending signatures were not being verified, now they are pretending that signatures were verified, but every affidavit envelope without a signature all supported one candidate.

You still think this is about ballot by mail?

SACRAMENTO, California — The California Chamber of Commerce has endorsed Xavier Becerra, only the second candidate and first Democrat it has ever supported in a gubernatorial race.

The third house stalwart’s board of directors made the decision after Becerra and Republican rival Steve Hilton spoke at its quarterly meeting in Sacramento on Thursday.

“California needs collaboration, not conflict. Secretary Becerra represents the best candidate to embrace that style of leadership,” CalChamber President & CEO Jennifer Barrera said in a statement.

Business groups spent heavily during the primary to boost Becerra and attack his leading progressive rival, billionaire climate activist Tom Steyer.

🚨 Trump tried to imprison 6 Democratic Senators for making a video that was critical of him.

He just lost every single case.

When Obama released his long form Hawaii birth certificate in 2011 and extra-definitively disproved Trump's birther idiocy, Trump didn't abandon the conspiracy theory; he just expanded that conspiracy theory to cram in the contradicting facts, pivoting to claims that the birth certificate was a forgery. 

It's a time-tested conspiracist tactic. And he’s now using it again when trying to explain why Steve Hilton succeeded in the California primary elections Trump had baselessly declared were a fraud and were being rigged against Hilton: https://t.co/l8yf1SFm7c

“My preference has always been to take Kharg Island… I don't know that America has the stomach for it… You'd make a fortune."

He’s talking about sacrificing thousands, possibly tens of thousands, of American soldier’s lives. So he and his buddies can make a fortune. That’s what he thinks we don’t have the stomach for.

“Adam Hoffman—an admitted child molester—is a registered sex offender in Nebraska but doesn’t have to register in Texas because Ken Paxton gave him an Epstein-style sweetheart deal. He put the well-being of pedophiles over the safety of Texas children." 😡 https://t.co/S4z0FSWvVZ

"What are you thinking?": @secupp reacts to a breaking story from the WSJ that Trump is pushing for his impeachments to be voided: “He’s not thinking ahead… all the reasons he was impeached get dredged up again, and we’re all talking about it around a midterm election."

Trump's "I love the inflation" is one of the most politically tone deaf statements I've ever heard.

No prez before him ever had a -50 pt or worse net approval in an inflation poll. Trump's done it 8+ times.

Trump's the only prez to ever hit 80% disapproval on gas prices.

[American Oversight @weareoversight]

In 2020, Trump allegedly took classified docs to Mar-A-Lago, including ones that were so classified only 6 people had seen them.

There’s an entire report on this scandal. But a judge has been keeping it hidden for years.

We’re fighting for its release.

Besides Ohio, look at this new Texas poll. When a Republican President, and a Republican Vice President, a GOP Texas Governor and both Republican Senators are all underwater in favorability in an independent poll, something is going on. https://t.co/4mOzTb5R9k
