Thomas Massie and I don’t agree on much.
But billionaires and special interest groups spent $35 million in Kentucky to unseat one conservative congressman — all because he stood up to Trump.
It’s everything that's wrong with our politics today.
NEW: Just spoke to Gov. @GavinNewsom a short while ago as he was heading into a meeting with California Democrats on Capitol Hill.
On redistricting: Newsom said he's not focused on doing another ballot referendum to try and get even more seats right now. He said the focus is on winning seats across the country. "We want to pick up all five [in California], and then to support the effort to win at least two Democratic seats in Virginia, one in, I think easily one in Florida and many as two in Texas, and that's the focus right now."
On fire aid: Nearly a year and a half after the LA wildfires, Newsom says he feels "hopeful" that supplemental aid could be delivered eventually.
"I think directionally the momentum - at peril of saying this out loud, because Senator Padilla may disagree - members of the administration have played this pretty straight, and are sincerely engaged with the community in LA, and I think want to want to help folks. And that's reflected in the conversations I've had in the last 48 hours, and I just starting to feel more optimistic."
He added: "Despite the rhetoric or lack thereof, in terms of support coming from the president - but at the administrative level and the staff level, I really appreciate what seems to me legitimate progress and consideration, and that's a very hopeful thing."
