The top two vote getters in the primary move on to the general regardless of which party they are from. The most recent Evitarus poll funded by the D party found that two R's are in the top two because all of the potential D votes are spread over many D candidates.

Silver lining? Better for the Swalwell story to come out now rather than later so that voters and other D candidates have time to adjust.

Swalwell should drop his bid for governor of California. A jury must acquit if there is a reasonable doubt, but a voter is under no obligation to hire a leader for whom the voters have doubts. Swalwell can't win despite SA allegations like Teflon Don has.

While the President sends more American troops to the Middle East, the price of everything - groceries, gas, mortgages - keeps rising.
Let’s be clear: we are worse off today, and no safer, than before this unnecessary war began.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

Not one reporter asked about the Executive Orders targeting Chris Krebs & Miles Taylor during today’s Cabinet press conference. Not one. A president using DOJ to punish those who spoke out? That’s banana republic territory. I waited. The question never came.
