A clue to how Newsom might navigate the rocky terrain comes almost as soon as we sit down. I notice, as he starts talking, a vintage hand gesture: the thumb resting on bent forefinger to emphasize a point, unmistakably borrowed from a certain former president. “I watch videos of Clinton,” he tells me. “I seek his counsel, his advice, and even in his absence, do that. I’ve been a student of his from day one.”

The two have an actual relationship, talking late at night about strategy and ideas, including how to tackle the California problem. “He calls me late at night, wanting to talk about it, and he goes, ‘I’ve been thinking just nonstop about this. I just think you represent what they fear.’”

Also: if you don’t believe me that the data shows Democratic momentum, go look at how republicans are operating. Are they (with the exception of Trump) acting like a party that confidently thinks they’ve got the election in the bag? No, they aren’t.

HOLY PA-01 SCOOP IN POLITICO!! Brian Fitzpatrick's awful ads seem to show a bunch of news headlines. But those deceptive quotes didn't come from actual news reports - they were written by one of his wedding guests, a felon who was once on the payroll of his own campaign, who self-published them!

The posts I’m seeing in response to my post yesterday about how all the data seems to indicate the Democrats are going to win reminds me of the insistence I used to see from 2010 to 2018 that Congress had been hopelessly gerrymandered and no way Democrats could get a majority.

one area where i will actually concede messaging is hard for the dems (if they try) is the gop's actions are so inconceivably evil they sound totally made up. "we're trying to make it easier to pollute poor neighborhoods. we're pushing so kids get exposed to more lead."

You can't get a better insight into how the right wing works than this Eric Schmitt/Jack Smith stuff. His team didn't know the difference between the Iowa Hawkeyes and the Atlanta Hawks They spun an elaborate conspiracy theory around it They lined up all the MAGA podcasters about it.

thank you america.gov your answers are strong and powerful and i have tears in my eye

how many president have been impeached multiple times and why
One U.S. president has been impeached more than once: Donald J. Trump (2019 and 2021). The Senate acquitted him both times.

First impeachment (2019)
House charged abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
Senate acquitted in 2020.
Second impeachment (2021)
House charged incitement of insurrection related to the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Senate acquitted in 2021 (trial after his term ended).
Andrew Johnson (1868) and Bill Clinton (1998) were each impeached once; both were acquitted. Richard Nixon was not impeached; he resigned in 1974.

Can the president use taxpayer funds to air his old campaign ads on TV?

No. Federal appropriations law has long barred using taxpayer funds for political advertising.

Eric Schmitt is on The Charlie Kirk Show (yes it's still called that) -- and believe it or not, hosts are pretending he owned Smith with his embarrassingly botched gotcha "You caught him in this NBA game too in Atlanta" "Yeah," Schmitt says There's no mention that Schmitt had all his facts wrong
