Best thing about all the disgruntled (ie: shitty-politics-having) Californians moving to Texas is how, for all of CA's legitimate challenges, they're swapping a state w/ a soon-to-be self-sustaining climate grid for one that is incapable of handling increasingly more common extreme cold and heat.

And if you need some context here: California is the 5th largest economy in the world. Its electrical grid seems to be on a very short path to being 100% renewable. If they can do it—adding grid stability also!—others can too. If you're a climate doomer, let this brighten your sky today, just a bit

I think that's true, but he's still got visibility. Just so braindead for them to being saying this shit out loud.

Seems dumb!

Breaking news: Rep. Adam Schiff, who is heavily favored to win the California Senate race in November, called on President Biden on Wednesday to drop out of the presidential race, becoming one of the highest-profile members of his party to urge Biden to abandon his bid.

To the extent that there's anything new in this rerun election between worse versions of 2020's candidates, "Vance is an off-putting creep who doesn't think women deserve full rights" is now a national issue and, with Project 2025, a perfect centerpiece for how republican rule promises nightmares.

Maybe VP Harris told a crowd that Trump said he would terminate the Constitution because Trump said he would terminate the Constitution.

Never doubted that the highly paid Democratic strategists on whose instincts this election and possibly American democracy rest would catch up to me eventually.

Seems like it should be pretty easy for the Dems to simultaneously affirm Biden’s place at the top of the ticket *and* start getting Harris in front of the camera more ASAP to reinforce her competence & bona fides & send the message that you’re voting for both of them. What am I missing.

Oh no way that’s crazy
