Let’s do this.

Just try it, California.

The concept of choosing to walk out on stage with Chris Brown and Usher but refusing to stand on stage with and/or endorse James Talarico.

Not a single @CaliforniaLabor union is backing #Prop45. Because it's anti-worker, anti-community & anti-job. All the corporate money & @CalChamber propaganda in the world won't change those facts.  👀 those lies & asking “who paid for that?” Don’t worry, we’ll keep track.

Young people have been failed by California's extreme partisan politics. They've grown up in a state that's less and less affordable. Their well-being was neglected in the COVID years. I'm inspired that so many are fighting to change that. Hear their voices:

This weekend I shared a post voicing my concerns about the far left. The response has been overwhelming. Leaders in both parties called to tell me the same thing: this stuff has gone too far. To be clear: I'm a progressive Democrat. My whole life, I've wanted to see a youth movement fight for affordability, for healthcare, for real opportunity. It’s time! The system has utterly failed the next generation. Young people deserve real change — and they are right to fight for a better future. But the movement is being hijacked by too many people with insane, outlandish and nutty ideas that have nothing to do with affordability, climate solutions or health care. For example: Mamdani picked a DSA candidate who wants to abolish the police, empty every prison, erase every border and discourage interracial dating. Okayyyy ... So clearly, Chevalier has no problem condemning things! UNLESS it’s a designated terrorist organization. Believe it or not: Chevalier has refused to denounce the terror group Hamas — four times. That’s INSANE — and progressives can’t be afraid to call nonsense like that out. Supporting Hamas is NOT progressive. The idea of “no police, no prisons, no borders” — which would let pedophiles, human traffickers, terrorists, hate groups and crime syndicates run wild — is NOT progressive for vulnerable communities. Celebrating the murder of Israeli civilians is NOT progressive. These ideas are REGRESSIVE. If we can't tell right from wrong, good from bad, smart from loony tunes — Team Blue will go down the same road that turned the Republican Party into a shell of itself. We can’t let that happen to the Democratic Party.

Truly a travesty. This is no different than if they ran a fence right up the middle of Yellowstone.

“Why didn’t the Dems vet Graham Platner” Ummm, they fucking did. You all decided you were okay with Nazi tattoos so here we are.

Kevin McCarthy on Platner Allegations: That one thing I know about Republicans is when we had a very bad candidate, we didn't vote for that person. We walked away.

Add her support of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and her repeated refusal to tell the Times editorial board that even murderers should go to prison. The question now is less about her bizarre positions than why the Mayor of NYC preferred her over the Hispanic Caucus Chair.
