Thune bailing on North Carolina has the added bonus of depressing GOP turnout for the state legislature races. They are going to lose some seats here and with Governor Stein able to sustain vetoes, a very different environment for the state budget.

Thank you. Just like his veto of california single payer, his reason is good. It can't work in single states because of medicaid payments, and he is one hundred percent for national single payer. I haven't researched these new vetoes.

We won’t have a veto proof majority! We should pass great bills and publicize tRump’s vetoes of them.

No vetoes, 70% agreement for decision making.
Will be staffed by diplomats and experts - not by political hacks.
Those to be chosen as Canada chooses Supreme Court Judges - by their experience and excellence.
The “one for all and all for one” rule still applies.

Those are all very centrist vetoes though. I’m baffled by this take. I look at Newsom and I see another centrist doing tone deaf cosplay while throwing marginalized under the bus, like Jacob Frey

Newsom said in his letter to California lawmakers;
‘ that California LAW ALREADY ~> Outlaws Unlawful Recordings <~
that this bill’s protections WOULD BE redundant…

~> ‘ Newsom vetoes a bill
to regulate Big Tech's
'pervert' glasses ‘ <~

Even from a cold, logical perspective, I don't understand his behavior. He obviously wants to run for president and seems lead by ambition rather than integrity. But how can he think these vetoes will help him win the primary? Unless he's given up running and is mostly looking for money now?
October 2, 2026 at 12:41 PM
If he's truly running for President as a Democrat, he's certainly doing a crappy job!
