The Sinema thing is very simple. Her calculus is that
1. She can't win a primary;
2. If she runs as an independent who caucuses with the Dems, another Democrat can't run bc they would split the vote and give the seat to the Republicans.

I know everyone is dunking on this, and rightly so, but I genuinely think “I have observed that automation tends to concentrate wealth in the hands of a few all-powerful capitalists, and this disproves Marx” is the funniest thing I have ever seen on Twitter

Free throw. No chance on a PK against a keeper that reads tendencies for a living. No chance kicking an actual snapped and held ball. 6-footer is about a 50% make chance for good players.

If you were randomly dropped into a pro sporting event with your entire country's hopes and dreams on the line would you most want to attempt:

-a free throw
-a penalty kick
-a 25-yard field goal
-a 6-foot putt

Three huge differences between a 50-50 and 51-49 D majority:

1) Having a majority on each Committee versus power sharing/deadlocks requiring discharge petitions;

2) No single D Senator can hijack/block nominations; and

3) Ds can have *two* members absent and still hold votes.

Fun fact: The reason opponents of car-free JFK went to the ballot (democracy) instead of a CEQA lawsuit (opposite of democracy) is a law I authored — SB 288 — which exempts projects like JFK from CEQA.

So SF went the democracy route & the voters resoundingly chose car-free JFK.

Once when I was young, around 8 or so, we had a garage sale. My siblings and I were killing time riding our bikes along the sidewalk and this guy stopped in. But he wasn't there to buy anything.

He went up to my mom, introduced himself and said he'd stopped because he saw us...

So, against my better judgment I'm going to wade into the two sports betting initiatives on the California ballot and why I'm voting no on each. My reasons have nothing to do my feelings about sports betting in general and how they've impacted our professional leagues, nor ...

I was recently on a flight to Charlotte, and when the flight landed two women, one Black one white, got into an argument after bumping into one another in the aisle. When they got off the plane, the white woman turned to the Black woman, red with anger, and called her the n-word.
