“The issue is not fear. Fear is human. Nor is prudence cowardice. The Secret Service exists for protection. The issue is the gap between performance and reality. Between swagger and vulnerability, declared victory and hidden retreat, gilded aircraft and a catering truck.”

@atrupar@GavinNewsom Hey Gavin, stay close to the center and you're the Prez in 28 !
You'll get normal anti #trump Republicans that need an off ramp and win in a landslide.
Newsom: "That $400 million Qatari plane? That's not a $400 million gift. It cost you $936 million. That was what was appropriated as he's cutting food stamps and cutting your Medicaid. He put a billion dollars in the Pentagon budget to retrofit his private plane because that's going with him after the presidency. That has happened on our watch ... this Board of Peace in the Middle East? That's so he can get a piece of the Middle East."
TRUMP IS RIGHT. FOR YEARS AMERICANS HAVE BEEN BEGGING TO MAKE DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME PERMANENT. PEOPLE ARE SOBBING, "WHY CAN'T IT BE PERMANENT!?" MANY ARE SCREAMING, "WE DON'T WANT AFFORDABLE FOOD! WE DON'T NEED PEACE! TAKE MY MEDICARE, JUST GIVE US PERMANENT DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME!"
To end gerrymandering we’d need a constitutional amendment and a system based on actual demography.
The districts now look like jigsaw puzzles nobody would recognize.
They used to look like rectangles.
What would proportionate representation actually do?
It would liquidate the extremists on both sides and move everything toward normal.
Politicians would have to market to the middle instead of playing to their base.
You’d probably also want mandatory voting like Australia has, which forces politicians even further from the extremes.
Americans won’t pass that, but gerrymandering reform they should.
From my appearance on the @wethefifth podcast.
All Republican candidates this November support and own Trump's taxpayer-funded slush fund for J6 rioters, because all of them have done absolutely nothing to put a stop to it or rein him in.
Donald Trump was smuggled off a Turkish tarmac in a catering truck while his press corps and Cabinet flew home as decoys. I break down Trump's total humiliation and how his cowardice will define his failed presidency.

If Trump declares a national emergency to stop my vote, I'll crawl over hot lava and run through a storm of nails to get to my voting station, with papers in my bloody hands, and wait in line with a million other patriots who just did the same.
We don't do kings.

Democrats were ruthless last year — from passing Prop 50 in California to electing a Democratic governor in Virginia. We need to be ruthless again.
We’re flipping seats from red to blue across the country. KEEP FIGHTING!
We’re going to make history in November.
