One of the definitive days of this admin imo was the WSJ identifying racist posts from a DOGE staffer - the kind of stuff that would be read out loud to you as HR explains why you're not getting severance - and Vance saying no, we won't let the media cancel people anymore.

Swalwell's endorsers are fleeing (Gallego, Gomez, CTA) and I don't expect him to get much grace. CA Dems were already frustrated that no one would quit the gov race. Swalwell jumped in fairly late (after Porter's gaffe) with this sword of Damocles hanging over him

I've more frequently seen this on the right as "gay race communism" - they're going woke, sad to see

One of the wackiest things going right now is reporters getting exclusive Trump interviews - huge scoops, you've got to run with them! - that age like avocados in the microwave
