Democrats massively outnumber Republicans in LA by nearly 4 to 1.

Republican Spencer Pratt ran an in-your-face MAGA campaign in deep blue LA.

If you’re screaming fraud because Pratt lost, then what you’re really saying is you hate democracy. Or you don’t get math. Or both.

The President of the United States said I insulted Jesus.

You want to know what insults Jesus?

Kicking the sick off their healthcare.
Bombing schoolchildren in Iran.
Deporting moms and babies.
Covering up the Epstein files.

[The okayest poster there is @ok_post_guy]

Hey man what about the guy you endorsed for California Governor? Does this count as trying to buy an election or nah?

[Xavier Becerra @XavierBecerra]

As the situation in Garden Grove continues to evolve, I’m deeply grateful to the first responders, engineers, hazmat crews, and emergency personnel working through the holiday weekend to keep families safe.

Governor Newsom has declared a state of emergency to help mobilize available resources. Please listen to local and state leaders and follow evacuation orders.

[Jonathan Underland @junderland]

There’s actually a great story here about grassroots, small dollar donations breaking the internet.

We did file on time, if you actually look at the website. BUT because he received more than $1 MILLION from small dollar donors (less than $100) the massive file wasn’t displaying correctly, until now: https://t.co/GnSzOGAN1O
