Let’s see …
Karen Bass - first Black woman Speaker of the CA House of Representatives; Chair of the CBC; Chair of the Foreign Affairs Africa Subcommittee; short list for Joe Biden’s VP; Mayor of Los Angeles
Xavier Becerra - member of the CA legislature; Chair of the CHC; Vice Chair of the US House Democratic Caucus; member of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee; CA Attorney General; US Secty of Health and Human Services
These are ACCOMPLISHED leaders, glass ceiling breakers in their respective communities and not folks … “just hanging around.”

Back in reality, we spy on Israel so pervasively that Obama used it as a backdoor to spy on members of Congress for meetings where Israel came up.
Social media is a schizophrenia machine that disables people from doing the most basic kinds of cognitive mapping.

Honestly, at this point much of the left is only marginally more reality-based than MAGA.
The amount of conspiracy and insanity that is totally mainstream among the loudest voices on the left is really like nothing I have ever seen on our side of the aisle.
When a candidate confirms your priors, you're willing to hand wave away all sorts of bad behavior but if a sitting President commits the grave sin of being old, you'll come down on him like a ton of bricks. Clown show, total fucking clown show.
Dem hating leftists running for office under the Democratic name are pathetic. Stand on what you said and run independent. If Dems are so bad why are you running as one?
It’s pretty amazing/depressing to consider that pretty much every national Democrat called on Ralph Northam to resign as governor of Virginia because of a blackface picture from college … and none of them will call on Platner to drop out for a Nazi tattoo he had last year
The PLATNER vs FETTERMAN fight is incredible.
Platner: Nobody likes Fetterman because AIPAC and the Jews
Fetterman: Platner is a child predator.
My gosh.
John Fetterman seems to genuinely think that the reason no one likes him is because he refuses to wear a suit.
It's not the hoodie, dude. It's because you've become a stooge for AIPAC and the Republican party.
In responding to a challenge from Sen. Fetterman to prove that he did not send naked pictures to women, Graham Platner immediately raised the Jews, declaring that Fetterman is a tool of AIPAC. It appears that the tattoo may be obscured, but a certain obsession remains...
Women like Jennifer Welch are telling victims all over the country to just take it. That being bruised is normal. Jennifer Welch is the status quo. Fight against that. Fight for women who are being abused. https://t.co/jp5x6jSOoH
They both have white supremacist tattoos.
They both cheated on their wives.
They both hate Women & Jews.
They both use slurs.
The only difference? One is a “D” & the other an R. We lose any ability to criticize MAGA when we make addressing bigotry partisan.
A leader as unsentimental as Mitch McConnell cut loose alleged sex predator Roy Moore in 2017, sacrificing a Senate seat to protect the rest of the party. Can 2026 Democrats prove equally tough and shrewd with their toxic candidate? Latest in @TheAtlantic https://t.co/3inOrH7M05
Several lies here.
Collins's husband retired in '16, so he's not a lobbyist. He last lobbied for American Defense Int'l in '08, years before he married Collins.
And, Platner joined the Marines in '04, two years after Senate voted to authorize Iraq. https://t.co/YzkRJ0k1pP
I can't emphasize enough how much this entire "movement" sounds EXACTLY like MAGA.
"The fake news NYT won't report how big and loud the crowds for Platner were. The elitist fake news media lies not because they hate me, but they hate YOU!"
The Chapo guys (except the one who had the stroke), AOC, Mamdani, Platner, ‘Claire Valdez,’ etc. - they all have the same bios:
They come from affluent backgrounds and have educated and/ or wealthy parents but are downwardly mobile, they fail to launch and then find a foothold in leftist politics.
