If they were serious, they would be promising to haul Elon Musk before the American people to explain why he shut off starlink leaving Ukraine defenseless and multiple civilians to die as a result. The Democratic leadership is feckless. They need to be replaced.

If the Democrats were actually serious, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries would be putting out statements that they intend to subpoena mark Zuckerberg personally to appear before congress over its censorship of No Kings today and Lula in Brazil. Instead, silence. They aren't fit for this moment.

since California ballots are now out: prop 40 is the billionaire tax, and you should vote yes to stick it to them but both props 41 and 42 are designed to retroactively cancel the billionaire tax because they’re afraid they can’t beat it at the ballot box yes on 40, no on 41 and 42

People who vote will be casting votes AGAINST the GOP, they are not endorsing the Democratic Party. Perhaps unpopular to say but the polls bear this out. The Party's favorables are low.
