The party’s executive board narrowly voted to back the measure after earlier votes to endorse it and remain neutral failed. Rep. Maxine Waters attended the board meeting in San Diego, encouraging key yes votes to get Proposition 40 over the finish line, according to three people with knowledge of her efforts granted anonymity to discuss the politically fraught issue. The measure had previously garnered few endorsements from high-ranking elected officials in the party, including just one member of California’s congressional delegation, Rep. Ro Khanna.'

Democrats have been given a gift by Dumbo Donald and should definitely run with it as some progressives and the Democratic New York governor already have. Democrats should also begin referring to Trump as "Dumbo Donald" (the "b" is definitely not silent), as he has practically branded himself with his own constant prattling regarding same. Used in a sentence:

Republicans acknowledge privately that the elephant in the room is Dumbo Donald, fake populist and champion of data centers, greedy billionaires and Big Tech.

Gay marriage was such an issue, a while back, since while Democrats were a lot more sympathetic to gay people in committed relationships than Republicans, very few Democrats were actually willing to stand up and champion full marriage equality for all until after the Supreme Court stepped in and decided the issue.

Two things:

(1) Didn't the Supreme Court rule on the issue on June 26, 2015 in Obergefell v. Hodges?

(2) Didn't President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden (famously on Meet the Press), and many prominent congressional Democrats endorse the right to same-sex marriage and officially added it to the Democratic Party platform -- the first time a major U.S. political Party endorsed marriage equality -- in September 2012?

Rhetorical questions.

Again with this "more electable candidate" absolute ridiculous framing. Bernie Sanders is not a Democrat; in point of simple fact, he is the longest-serving Independent in congressional history and a self-described Democratic Socialist.

I do not believe it is such a difficult concept to grasp that a political Party -- and the vast majority of their voters -- will quite naturally want to nominate a member belonging to their own political Party versus someone who did not, never has and still does not belong to it.

As for Bernie's runs for the White House, he was favored by Independents (go figure and state the obvious) and younger voters but struggled to gain traction with women, people of color and older voters (your basic actual Democrats), and therefore by Super Tuesday he lost by double digits and massive margins in states like South Carolina. The race was already over. I fully understand that the punditry and media worked their asses off to bring the drama and make it seem like Bernie could win, but the race was mathematically over by Super Tuesday. Hillary Clinton won three out of the first four contests, most of the Northeast, and the entire South... all of it. Bernie won primaries in the upper Midwest and in states where they had (stupid) caucuses.

Be that as it may and still, the "Bernie narrowly lost to Hillary Clinton in 2016" absolute and total myth persisted, and fast forward to 2020 where (probably because of a crowded field), Bernie actually underperformed his numbers from 2016 and again lost the South... all of it. Even Bernie's home state of Vermont handed him a much smaller victory than 2016. It is easy to locate online so please do the political math.

I think it's not rocket science to deduce from 2016 and 2020 that many of the votes for Bernie in 2016 were basically "not Hillary" votes in a virtually two-person race, and I reiterate that Bernie Sanders, Independent and self-described Socialist never caught on with the vast majority of Democratic voters.

Progressives are fed up with the whole "play it safe -- nominate someone unobjectionable who doesn't scare suburban voters" strategy from the establishment wing of the Democratic Party.

Great. Then they should pound the pavement and garner the votes for their candidates because the voters still choose the nominee, and they should definitely stop the freaking whining that their candidate could have won and know this:

Nothing that is happening in one state in 2026 (or pick your own year) will mean a dang thing for any of the other states' elections and definitely not the federal elections of 2016 or 2020 because politics is local and it just won't. :)

as much as we'd like to think that a policy platform is something that will excite voters, the individual candidate and their personal charisma are usually much more important.

Yes, sir. Case in point: They referred to a presidential candidate as a communist, a Muslim, and a Commie Muslim for nigh on a decade and to this day still haven't stopped playing the race card, and were it not for presidential term limits, Barack Hussein Obama could wipe the floor with every single one of them.

It's the rizz.

That would seriously be a ridiculous argument, would it not? You'd have a better argument that in a country well-known for gender bias and double standards, Trump has defeated the only two women ever nominated as presidential candidates by any major Party in the country's entire history. I'm not saying it's a good argument; I'm saying it's a better argument than either of them being the "most-electable candidate." Which progressive candidate would be daft enough to suggest that Harris was nominated in 2024 because she was the "most-electable candidate"?

She folded like an umbrella, and people get away with things.

~ Donald Trump describing Pirro

Do umbrellas "fold"? It's more like they actually collapse... you know "collapse"... like the collapse of the Trump administration or like the collapsibility of Dotard Grandpa Trump's brain into a much smaller size.

But on Friday, Trump twice undermined Blanche's sworn testimony, first suggesting the fund -- established to resolve his lawsuit against the IRS -- was very much alive, and later conceding that it was dead but that he very much wished it were alive.

I reiterate the ruling of Judge Williams:

* The case was filed in collusion and bad faith for an "improper purpose" in order to manipulate the judicial process rather than to resolve an actual dispute.

* The settlement agreement including liability releases and audit immunities is nullified.

* Trump and the federal government are strictly prohibited from citing or using the voided settlement in any future official, administrative, or judicial proceedings.

* Specific attorneys including Blanche have been referred to professional disciplinary bodies to face potential sanctions.

Trump is appealing the Court's ruling and unless/until he succeeds in that endeavor, the agreement is nullified.

Trump explained away high fuel prices, saying that they "didn’t behave" but that he would find a way to bring them down again. "It's like playing a banjo," he said, without further explanation.

[Feel free to make your own "Dueling Banjos" joke, here... or perhaps a riff on "Sure, Grandpa, sure..."?]

Being from the South and likely having said and heard most of the idioms and various assorted other things, I believe what the confused Dotard Grandpa was trying to say was: "It's like playing a violin." Meaning he would play ________ <---[choose your own noun here, likely the oil companies] and manipulate them to lower prices of gasoline.

With that nugget, Trump is espousing the ideals of socialism wherein the government sets/attempts to control prices of goods and services rather than allowing capitalist free-market supply and demand to decide them.

Nothing a lawyer agrees to on behalf of a client is worth the paper it is written on without the client's agreement via signature thereon. A lawyer cannot even claim that a client refuses to testify in defense of him/herself without the client's agreement given to the Court. This issue is therefore rather moot.

The issue is also already before an appeals Court wherein Judge Williams in the lower court has already ruled against Trump and his DOJ as follows:

* The case was filed in collusion and bad faith for an "improper purpose" in order to manipulate the judicial process rather than to resolve a real dispute.

* The settlement agreement including liability releases and audit immunities is nullified.

* Trump and the federal government are strictly prohibited from citing or using the voided settlement in any future official, administrative, or judicial proceedings.

* Specific attorneys including Blanche have been referred to professional disciplinary bodies to face potential sanctions.

Trump is appealing the issue. Nothing Blanche can concoct on paper or otherwise -- with or without the agreement of Cornyn and/or Tillis -- makes one dang bit of difference without Trump's approval, and a judge has already nullified the agreement.

Seriously, the vast majority of those in Texas who work on these things year in and year out aren't that dramatic about these things; that is definitely overblown media rhetoric.

Win or lose, I reiterate: Another election and on to the next one. :)

Oh, when you wrote "deep in debt," I assumed we're talking tens of millions of dollars. I literally laughed out loud that their definition of this is apparently $2 mil!

So you're saying they've got their knickers in a twist and hurling phones at the DNC over this paltry amount!? I won't drop names here, but Democrats literally have multiple persons that could pick up the phone and have this debt wiped out in a few hours. So if those unnamed persons aren't actually taking steps to retire that "deep" indebtedness, then it's more likely than not that they're far more interested in retiring Mr. Martin.

if the DSA position on Israel becomes the official Democratic party position, we'll lose a heck of a lot more than John Fetterman.

Exactly.

But it’s especially doable this time due to both Paxton & the Republicans in general being execrable along with Agent Krasnov continuing to damage America in every possible manner.

While I’m a big fan of Jasmine Crockett Talarico is the stronger candidate.

Bab el Mandeb in Arabic translates to “Gate of Tears” or “Gate of Grief.”

ever since sharpie-gate there's been an unusual relationship between Donald and the weather. just like all the other things that won't obey his demands and don't capitulate to brute force, nature is Donald's enemy.

and one way or another, it's the last enemy he will ever be able to defeat.

that alone is a scary thing. as far as I know, he's the only president since Nixon to even try to exert direct authority over those agencies.

The McCarthy and Roy Cohn red scare absolute bullshit brought back from the dead by Old Man Trump is indicative of his ideas being as old and tired as the Dotard Donald and the GOP having absolutely nothing whatsoever to run on.

Poor Donald. Can't pull his head out of last century and/or his own fat ass. :)

Heh. :)

Hindsight is (still) 20/20. What shouldn't be debated is whether or not a guy with a Nazi tattoo who feigned ignorance regarding same and who has multiple credible claims of abuse of women, up to and including rape, should be asked to step aside and resign. Generally in politics, if you're explaining, you're losing so... good riddance.

if the DSA position on Israel becomes the official Democratic party position, we'll lose a heck of a lot more than John Fetterman. although the Overton window has moved due to Netanyahu and his coalition's excesses post October 7, there's still enough support for Israel overall that the party would not survive such a change intact.

i sometimes have the same sort of thoughts about Zionism. there has been so much definition creep, it's hard to exactly pin down what any individual or group actually believes it is. in my mind there exist both legitimate and illegitimate criticism of the Israeli project, and your article last week about rahm's speech got me thinking about how the names of all these movements can be important. here's a site that talks a little about the labels and why they matter. call gaza an unjust war or an unfair border policy, and most liberal American Jews can get on board. call it "genocide" or "apartheid" and we feel it's us being attacked, not just the cynical righties who currently control the government.

Must be nice in whatever country you're living in. Here in the US of A, we have judicial absolutism. If SCOTUS decides that it's the original intent of the framers, we'll have the 13th and all subsequent amendments nullified, and the holding in Dred Scott v Sandford will once again be the law of the land. We (the country that is, not Weigantia specifically) already had this discussion, in the context of the expectation that the Constitution was depressingly likely to be found unconstitutional on the subject of birthright citizenship. Compared to what they've already done, holding that a new amendment wasn't duly proposed and ratified would be small potatoes.

Heh. :)

The emperor has no clothes. The majority acknowledges the facts, and the Con-Artist-In-Chief knows that the people are correct; however, rather than admitting his fat nakedness, he decides that "the procession must go on now" and continues marching through the streets in his nonexistent clothes. The lords of the emperor's bedchamber "took greater pains than ever, to appear holding up a train, although, in reality, there was no train to hold."

If Trumpism had never existed, Trump would be known only for bankruptcy fraud and a bad tv show.

That and his extensive history of being an adulterous attention-seeking fame whore prevalent in 1980s and 1990s tabloids and the "author" of a fictitious book called Trump: The Art of the Deal of which Trump wrote not one single word and even took issue with its actual author, Tony Schwartz, regarding its title.

Just as a pearl can coalesce around any grain of sand, Trumpism could have coalesced around any piece of s***. If they'd picked Epstein, for example, the MAGAts who like Trump mostly because he's a ra*ist would be a little happier, while ones who like him mostly because he's a ra*ist would be a little less so. But a President Epstein would have filled the slot well enough for the latter group to still be on board.

Yes, sir... the low-info right-wing conspiracy nut loving bleating sheeple will coalesce around basically any demonstrable pile of obvious s*** while insisting hysterically that it's cake and prattling on and on regarding "Trump Derangement Syndrome" while not understanding that they're the living embodiment of that affliction. Trump isn't playing 3-D chess, he's playing the MAGAts and laughing all the way to the bank while they empty their pockets for him.

Agreed.

I would welcome just about any other Democrat as the nominee over Rahm, and I know I am not alone in that feeling.

Any other? Oh, okay, you qualified that with "just about." Having said that, I wouldn't vote for him either.

Democrats definitely need to recruit Jon Ossoff for the presidency. I will be surprised if Trump doesn't attempt to preemptively take Ossoff down, as he tried and failed spectacularly with Biden's run for the presidency. Poor Donald seriously needs to get over being the bigly loser of the 2020 election; his pathetic attempts to rewrite recorded history are as transparent as they are laughable.

If we want the shift but we don't like the jolt, there's an obvious alternative: soften the jolt. Have two months of 23:59 days in the spring, and two months of 24:01 days in the fall. Clocks are almost all electronic, so it wouldn't be that difficult.

"Trumpism" being racism at its core, it will definitely last longer than Donald, as will the low-info cult minions who whine incessantly like sheeple about "Trump Derangement Syndrome" who are totally unaware that's it's them who are deeply and inherently afflicted with it.

still otters run deep

For every person, there is a time when that person dies. Ok, I can live with that. For a while, anyway, and then I die. Then, after I'm gone, other people live. After them, still oters, and so on. That's how it's always been.

There is a time when, for every person, that person dies. The same time for all of the people who will have been alive a moment before. Not ok. I'm not willing to make my peace with that possibility. It's what we barely avoided by sheer luck, at least a couple times during the Cold War, and it's where we're headed eventually, if we keep condoning the irresponsible use of nuclear threats, particularly by Russia.

Not just Russia, though. We need to establish a set of global institutions that will make it reasonable for the US and China to forsake nuclear weapons too. But as the most immediate priority for reducing long-term nuclear risk,

LINDSEY GRAHAM DEAD AFTER TRIP TO UKRAINE! Not saying that Putin finally snuffed his long-time nuisance, but I wouldn’t be shocked if he finally saw fit to put that yapping little gay lap-dog down.

Graham was extremely vocal with his dislike of all things related to Trump early on. It wasn’t until Russian hackers cracked the RNC mail servers that Graham had a sudden and drastic change in his opinion of Trump. The type change that you’d expect to see if someone is being blackmailed with life-threatening and career-ending consequences.

My fondest memory of Graham will always be his speaking on the Senate floor on January 6, 2021, as Trump’s insurrection was playing out. As he called out Trump for leading the criminal act, Graham was the only senator who didn’t appear horrified by Trump’s actions. Graham looked and sounded downright GIDDY as he spoke of Trump’s crimes! He was finally rid of Trump, and Graham could not have been happier! Lindsey was sure that he would never be forced to kiss Trump’s flabby ass again. It was like witnessing someone who’d been forced into slavery learning that they were free! It was the happiest I had ever seen Graham.

Three days later he was in Florida kissing Trump’s ass and begging for forgiveness. Pathetic! The one thing that brings me peace in all of this is the knowledge that when Graham arrives in Hell, he will learn that his being gay has nothing to do with why he is there!

That's with MAGATs. It's different with Democratic insiders, with the Democratic base, with Democratic turnout voters, and even with Democratic-leaning swing voters. All of those groups want a competent president, so it mattered that Biden was showing cognitive decline. The MSM is just covering what matters and ignoring what doesn't.

if managed well, and that is a big if, not only could it promote their eventually nominee, but also burn into the public consciousness the harm done by Collins' (and other alleged moderates in the GOP caucus) rubber stamp for Trump's most unqualified and dishonest nominees.

The colonists declared their independence from the British Crown on July 2, 1776, with the adoption of the independence resolution of Richard Henry Lee of Virginia:

Resolved, That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States, that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved.

That it is expedient forthwith to take the most effectual measures for forming foreign Alliances.

That a plan of confederation be prepared and transmitted to the respective Colonies for their consideration and approbation.

~ Lee Resolution, Second Continental Congress, adopted July 2, 1776, 12 of 13 colonies (New York abstaining)

New York wouldn't even vote for independence for another two weeks, so it is impossible that any sort of "Unanimous Declaration" happened on July 4th.

The Lee Resolution definitely not unanimously adopted July 2; however, a copy of the formal declaration of independence adopted two days later on July 4 (New York also abstaining) was ordered printed (the Dunlap broadside) and widely distributed. The adopted declaration was delivered to the representatives of New York on July 9 who met in White Plains and voted unanimously that day:

WHITE-PLAINS, JULY, 9 1776.

IN CONVENTION OF THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE STATE OF NEW-YORK.

RESOLVED UNANIMOUSLY, That the Reasons assigned by the CONTINENTAL CONGRESS, for declaring the United Colonies FREE and INDEPENDENT STATES, are cogent and conclusive, and that while we lament the cruel Necessity which has rendered the Measure unavoidable, we approve the same, and will at the Risque of our Lives and Fortunes, join with the other Colonies in supporting it.

RESOLVED, That a Copy of the said Declaration and the aforegoing Resolution be sent to the Chairman of the Committee of the County of WESTCHESTER, with Orders to publish the same with Beat of Drum, at this Place, on Thursday next, and to give Directions that it be published with all convenient Speed in the several Districts within the said County. And that Copies thereof be forthwith transmitted to the other County Committees within the State of New-York, with Orders to cause the same to be published in the several Districts of their respective Counties.

Extract from the Minutes,
ROBERT BENSON, Secretary.

~ The Holt Broadside (original spelling and style/punctuation)

https://www.cincymuseum.org/2026/06/29/the-holt-broadside-printing-of-the-declaration-of-independence/
[most legible digital copy I could locate]

Following that resolution, Holt printed the full language of the Declaration as adopted on July 4 by the Second Continental Congress in Philadelphia.

Meanwhile, a copy of the adopted declaration (John Dunlap broadside) had also been delivered from Philadelphia to General George Washington quartered in New York City (massive British naval fleet occupying New York Harbor), whereupon he ordered his troops assembled July 9 in order to hear it read aloud, who many then thereafter famously made haste that day to Bowling Green to tear down the gilded lead statute of King George III.

So history records the following (among other things):

* July 2 vote on the Lee Resolution achieving independence.
* July 4 vote approving the declaratory written statement that justified that independence.
* July 9:
- New York receives the declaration, meets at White Plains and votes to join, making it thusly unanimous.
- General Washington in New York City also receives the declaration and orders its reading aloud, and King George III (the gilded lead statue) is thereafter literally put asunder.
* July 19 vote wherein Congress orders the Declaration "fairly engrossed on parchment" for signatures, and the title is changed from "A Declaration by the Representatives of the United States of America in General Congress Assembled" to "The Unanimous Declaration of the Thirteen United States of America" to reflect New York's official vote joining.

As notable above, the Lee Resolution actually consisted of three parts: a declaration of independence, a call to form foreign alliances, and a plan for confederation, but covering all the issues would require an even deeper dive into history. :)

That may have changed by the time you read this

yup.

Russia delenda est

All non-Russians would be better off if Russia did not exist. All Russians except a handful of kleptocrats would be better off if Russia did not exist, and they were citizens of a bunch of normal countries instead of subjects of a belligerent empire. As for the kleptocrats, they deserve far worse than they would get in any plausible scenario.

We must get rid of nuclear weapons. Otherwise, sooner or later, nuclear weapons will get rid of us.

There were a few occasions during the Cold War when we survived mostly by luck. We won't keep being lucky forever. Russia's irresponsible use of nuclear threat greatly increases long-term nuclear risk, to the point where overall nuclear risk would be minimized by completely getting rid of Russia now. That would involve some increase in short-term nuclear risk. But the way we're going, long-term nuclear risk is more like a certainty of eventual omnicide than like anything that can accurately be described as a risk.

"He" is a she and was born the same year that DeGette was sworn in. About time for a younger generation to step up.

Younger voters don't seem to give a hang about labels and the right-wingnut same old, lame old "fear and smear" red scare. Bernie Sanders has been out there for decades and still getting reelected.

Meanwhile, it appears Victor Marx is still leading in the Republican race to become Governor. Marx is a bloviating con artist type fraud whose biography cannot be verified. He claims at the age of 7, his stepfather "forced" him to kill a man in Mississippi. He also claims to have called in a civilian airstrike that killed 70 ISIS fighters. However, he won't disclose how many people he is responsible for murdering. His campaign had to return thousands of dollars in illegal campaign contributions.

Your typical Republican these days is increasingly a corrupt con artist.

Melat Kiros is female, right?

Justice Kavanaugh joined the majority striking down Trump's Executive Order; however, he argued the order violated existing federal immigration law but not the Fourteenth Amendment. Give me a dang break; Trump's written bullshit clearly violates both.

Kavanaugh opines that Congress could "enact new legislation establishing exceptions to birthright citizenship," but obviously, the opinion of the majority contains zero language that suggests what Kavanaugh opines in his written garbage regarding Congress taking legislative action. Frat Boy is bigly outnumbered there, and his written opinion is thusly as relevant as Trump's Executive Order. These morons might as well be making the false claim that Congress could legislate the doing away with the Due Process Clause and/or the Equal Protection Clause. Duh.

So, to recap: The SCOTUS majority did not opine that Congress can end birthright citizenship through legislation. Congress could no more override the Constitution via statute than Trump could override it with an Executive Order.

^^^ Goofed that up!
