Reposted by Andi McNewPete Buttigieg @petebuttigieg.bsky.social · 03/01/2026It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one. 16414240712290

Andi McNew @andimc888.bsky.social · 01/08/2025Here in San Diego, it's really tough to navigate around SDGE, because if you cross them, you end up crossing Labor. Down here, SDGE is seen as Labor-friendly (they have a great contract), so cutting off SDGE also means pissing off Labor, who's even more powerful. I can see why SD pols don't sign. 110
