"The first guest on Gavin Newsom's podcast was Charlie Kirk" is more than enough for me to say "absolutely not" to any suggestion Newsom play any role in the future of the Democratic Party. People like him are the past, the failures, the ones who got us here.

These same Justices held Biden could not use a statute passed by Congress for student debt relief because the statute authorized it but needed to extra double authorize it. But for Trump, he can simply ignore statutes and appropriations entirely, Congress is irrelevant.

"Sale–leaseback" is how Red Lobster went bankrupt and Russian oligarchs got rich. It is a standard tactic for extracting value and making someone else foot the bill. Hence the Trump–Musk interest.

Reagan has been dead for over 30 years, not a single person under 45 has a substantive living memory of him as president, and everyone else knows him as the Republican God. Centering him in a DEMOCRATIC response to a GOP president in 2025 is like if Dems rallied around Herbert Hoover at Woodstock.

“Thank you again. Thank you again. Won’t forget it,” Trump says while shaking the hand of Supreme Court Justice John Roberts after the State of the Union.

It’s been six days since Chief Justice Roberts’s “administrative” stay in the foreign aid cases. That almost certainly means (1) someone’s dissenting; (2) the Court is trying to reach a compromise; or (3) both. Hard to be sure which it is, but the continuing pause is itself producing plenty of harm.

"Perhaps" veterans who sacrificed from their time on Earth, their health, or even their bodies — and were promised steady jobs in civil service to make good on the debt the country owes them — "are not fit to have a job at this moment." Insulting and dishonorable.
