Medical care India indeed has best of two worlds for the fortunate. Modern medicine and radiology in the hands of capable doctors on one hand, and a respectful attitude steeped in atiti devo bhava culture, particularly towards elderly people (1/4)

200 years ago, my ancestor signed the Texas Declaration of Independence. He wrote:

“Any duty that would advance the cause of Texas I feel anxious and ever ready to perform…”

As I accept your nomination for the US Senate, I make that same commitment to you.

Senator Wiener’s Statement on Physical Intimidation and Harassment of Political Leaders

SAN FRANCISCO – In two separate incidents this week, Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) was harassed, threatened, and physically intimidated while attending public events to engage with the San Francisco community. Both incidents were sparked by people who had previously targeted Senator Wiener with aggressive behavior in the past. Senator Wiener issued the following statement on the incidents:

”Last night I attended the trans march, as I’ve done each year for the past 22 years since the first march in 2004. I attend each year in solidarity with our trans siblings, who are facing existential threats from right wing extremists, including the President. It has been a deep honor to partner for many years with trans people to advance legislation and budget requests to support the community.

”As I walked through Dolores Park to participate in a trans-led Pride Shabbat service in connection with the trans march, a group of people began screaming at me, ran up to me, surrounded me, and began harassing me, both verbally and physically, including physical contact. They made statements about my ‘Israeli handlers,’ among many other inaccurate, extreme, and vile statements. They were so physically and verbally aggressive that it was impossible for me to safely remain in the park. As a result, I left the park and, for the very first time, did not participate in the trans march.

“This follows an incident Wednesday night at a bar in the Mission where I’d gone to watch a World Cup game. During the game, a man accosted me in a corner of the bar, effectively cornering me and the young women staffers who were with me. He screamed abuse at me and our staff before being ejected by the bar’s employees. After being ejected, the man remained outside the bar, shouting my name and pounding on the side of the bar near where I was sitting for several minutes. The same individual, in December 2023, stalked me on a plane and in an airport, shouting at me about my ‘tainted bloodline.’

”I have no objection whatsoever to anyone disagreeing with me, opposing me, or protesting me. All of that is core to democracy. I also have no issue when people talk to me on the street and ask questions or express opposition. That’s democracy, even when the people engaging in this conduct misrepresent my views.

“But when opposition and disagreement transition to harassment, including cornering me, touching me, or trying to physically bully me out of a public event, that crosses a line.  We’re living in a time when violence is all too often threatened or used against people in public life. In San Francisco, we’re better than that.”

Comrades, giving millionaire Hasan more viewers on his Amazon-owned platform would be too capitalistic.

We offered Zoom and you’re accepting. We celebrate July 4th over here, but anytime Wednesday works for @FelixFrisch6. When works for @ahSHEEK?

MYTH: Healthcare fraud only happens in blue states like California. 

FACT: Trump’s OWN DOJ just released a report finding the TOP 2 STATES for fraud in recent enforcement actions are led by Republican Governors!

When considering a candidate for public office, character is a more important consideration than policy. Policies change. Character remains.

@DemSocialists Are you incapable of completing a sentence without invoking Israel?

[The Promise to America @thepromise2026]

Comrades! Congrats on your big closed primary win in a district Kamala won by 59 points. We’d love to hear your objections to the content of the Promise to America - let us know a time that works for you to Zoom next week.

🚨 Centrist Democrats launch “Promise to America” (@thepromise2026) pledge explicitly rejecting socialism and DSA influence.

13 U.S. House members and candidates just signed on, declaring they disagree with both MAGA and socialists.

Tom Suozzi:
“We disagree with socialists. We don’t want this extremism. We want mainstream.”
The pledge states outright:
“We are capitalist, not socialist.”
“We want safety, not lawlessness.”
“We are mainstream, not extreme.”

This comes days after major DSA-backed primary wins (including high-profile races in New York). Moderates are now organizing to push back against the socialist wing’s growing control of Democratic primaries and messaging.

Full pledge: https://t.co/IEbSqmA1pt

[Tom Suozzi @Tom_Suozzi]

We disagree with MAGA. We disagree with socialism. We believe the vast majority of Americans want common-sense, mainstream leadership, not political extremism.

I don’t think many Democrats fully realize how much damage far-left lunatics like Darializa Avila Chevalier are doing to their brand and their chances of winning back the House

[Jonah Goldberg @JonahDispatch]

The Democrats have nurtured an organization, the Democratic Socialists of America, that is determined to effectively destroy the Democratic Party in a hostile takeover. And the Democratic Party has literally no clue how to deal with it, because our parties are hollow shells.

[Josh Kraushaar @JoshKraushaar]

Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY), in concession speech: “Jews have given back so much to this country. As history has taught us, antisemitic tropes and stereotypes, some of which I heard personally on this campaign, will ultimately be the undoing of our democracy if we all don’t lean in and speak out — even if it’s not politically expedient.”

[Ben Dreyfuss @bendreyfuss]

I don’t want to get hysterical about one primary night in one very blue city but Chevalier is genuinely embarrassing.

I can’t think of anything more anti-Hindu than pretending like Tulsi Gabbard’s weird cult is representative of the faith.

🚨🚨🚨

Pulte begins a purge of the intelligence community. Add it to what Hegseth is doing w/ the military, Blanche w/ Justice, Patel w/ FBI, and hirings at ICE, and we’re entering a very dangerous period, one that makes Watergate look like child’s play.

WOW!! Yesterday (longest day of 2026) Wind, Water, and Solar power supply in California exceeded demand for nearly 10.5 hours and supplied more than 80% of the 24-hour demand!!

Clean energy is powering one of the world’s largest and fastest growing economies, and it’s not slowing down!

[James Surowiecki @JamesSurowiecki]

This tweet from Bukele is fascinating, because the graph he posted shows that the murder rate in El Salvador plummeted sharply before he became president, and long before he started throwing tons of people in jail.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

The Trump administration just paid Invenergy $765 million to cancel four wind projects. That brings the running total to roughly $2.5 billion in taxpayer money spent to stop energy from being built.

Think about that.

At a time when electricity demand is rising, the Trump administration is spending billions to reduce the amount of power that could reach the grid.

Trump has spent years attacking wind turbines as ugly and inefficient. He is entitled to his opinions about how they look. He is not entitled to make taxpayers finance those opinions.

Seven states have already sued over earlier agreements. Federal courts have repeatedly found legal defects in this administration’s efforts to halt offshore wind development. The administration has cited national security concerns while providing little public evidence to support them, and judges have said they were not convinced.

Strip away the politics and what remains is hard to defend.

Billions in taxpayer money paid to private companies to cancel planned energy projects during a period of rising demand.

Governments usually spend money to build things.

This administration is spending billions to make sure some things never get built.

@EFischberger Don't you need them to foot part of the $300B tab, or are you planning to stick us American taxpayers with all of it?

@SheehanConj @mzjacobson @CaliforniaISO You literally see it in the graphs that you are replying to that this is not the case.
