Tulare County is on the brink of voting for a Democratic candidate for governor for the first time since 1958.
Will be interesting to sort thru this when the statement of vote is done, but efforts to get GOP voters to not skip this race seem to have paid off. Thank you to those who supported our Super Pac efforts to that effect.

With his Democratic challenger trailing by 5,434 votes and needing around 59% of what's likely remaining to overtake him, #CA23 Republican Jay Obernolte files FEC paperwork to run for re-election in 2028.
Really quite a brilliant interview by @Douthat60 Moves past decades of predictable, often trite and sanctimonious network conventions.

Behold the new accidental members of Congress.
Rep.-elect Zack Mullock (D-NJ) says he didnāt realize he had a shot in his race against Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ) until August. He was shocked about his own win.
āProbably, I know less than any other elected official in that building. I had to Google the salary of a congressperson just two days ago,ā Mullock said.

Please read every word of this, from Yuval.
"In one sense, the range of explanations is so broad, and the public rebuke so overdetermined, that it might make it hard to decide where and how to change course. But in another sense, the comprehensive character of the problem makes it easier to define: The problem is Donald Trump. And the way forward for Republicans must begin by putting Trump behind them and asking themselves what they have to offer the country in his wake." nationalreview.com/corner/anā¦
This is a fascinating exchange. One person is in touch with the essence of the political moment. She won. The other person works at the New York Times.
This contentious interchange between the NY Times and @GinaHinojosaTX was truly amazing. Hinojosa offered one of the best explanations of populism I've ever seen. Her comments were a total rejection of Corporate Dems' neoliberal formula. Her Texas victory is a game changer.
I'm excited and ready to lead the largest California Democratic Assembly Caucus in modern history.

Bad policy, bad character make bad politics: erratic tariffs, impulsive Iran war, blanket pardons, apparent corruption, weaponized justice, ICE brutality, mountainous deficits, hiding Epstein, abandoning allies and coddling enemies. Hoping for a course correction, for the country and for my party.
