Sunlight is the best disinfectant
A few months back Ezra Klein gave a theory of social media and politics that I haven't been able to stop thinking about. "Whoever wins Twitter pays for it 3-4 years later."

“Jeff, Amazon is an incredible product that has improved the lives of millions. You provide employment for hundreds of thousands of people across the globe. What started as a humble online book store is now a megacorporation worth trillions. And for this, you must die.”
I’m not saying we should round up every billionaire and put them to the guillotine. I mean come on, that’s crazy talk. But, hear me out…what if we just put one billionaire to the guillotine? Just one. We gotta instill the fear of the masses into them somehow.

I thought it was dumb to try and cancel Tony Hinchcliffe over a few banal racial stereotype jokes and think it’s just as dumb to try and cancel this woman over some anodyne making fun of white people weddings takes. I thought we all agreed we were done with snowflake cancel culture!
There’s nothing even funny or interesting here. There’s no clever angle. She hasn’t noticed something interesting. It’s just straightforward disgust and resentment. And this stuff is everywhere, normalized.

Today, ask yourself, “who would this woman vote for?” Then go and vote for whomever is running against them.
Latest Subway Takes: “My take is that white people should stop having weddings and stop having children.” Kamala Harris, Tim Walz and Zohran have all gone on Subway Takes before. It’s a hugely popular mainstream left wing Instagram account with millions of followers. They haven’t even won the mid-terms yet. Leftists are so confident in their coming political victory that they are going right back to the worst excesses of “Woke 1.” They aren’t moderating. They fundamentally hate most white Americans. Buckle up.

For those filling out ballots in CA today: Am a "no" on all new state and local taxes until I get the sense that our elected officials feel even a hint of fiduciary obligation to the tax-payers.

If you are so worried about authoritarianism in this country, then you should denounce the DSA and all of the socialists in your party. Socialism is the road to tyranny.
Our country is teetering on the brink of fascism, and we need all hands on deck to fight for our democracy. Abdul El-Sayed’s candidacy is a key part of that fight. I stand with him, as should every person who cares about our freedom and our future.

"kidnappings" 🤡
I am outraged by reports of violent ICE kidnappings in North Hollywood. LA is not a playground for the Trump regime’s inhumane operations, and Angelenos should not have to live in fear of going to work, taking their kids to school, or living their life. If you or someone you know needs support, contact, save these numbers. Share them with your family and neighbors. - Immigo: (818) 730-0140 - Los Angeles Raids and Rapid ResponseNetwork helpline: 888-624-4752 - Immigrant Defenders Law Center rapid response legal resource line: (213) 833-8283

pro tip: if an LEO drops her weapon during a scuffle, don't pick it up.
This is fascism. Trumpian violence has no place in LA. Please, if you know the victim’s family, DM my office. We want to ensure they have access to County-funded legal representation. ICE: Get the hell out of LA.

Voter assistance needs to be highly regulated. It is a obvious attack vector to subvert the One Man, One Vote principle that underpins our democracy.
One day of early voting in Lewiston, Maine:

Newsom: Oh, you found 28 people who voted illegally and thousands of non-citizens who received ballots in the mail? Well, I think our work here is done. No need to look into this any further. In fact, it is a crime.
A warning to Donald Trump: I’m deploying election lawyers to key battleground districts in California to protect every vote. And I just made it a FELONY to illegally seize ballots.

well, if anybody knows about rigging systems, it is Peltola
I am the only candidate in this race with a plan to ban congressional stock trading, crack down on self-dealing, enact term limits, and fix the rigged system in DC that's shutting down Alaska.

It is an absolute joke that CA’s elections run on the honor system.
I'll raise your state court, with a Federal Grand Jury. An honor system is not a safeguard. It is an invitation.

In Venezuela, the Socialist regime put Maduro on the 2024 ballot 13 times to confuse and manipulate voters. My wife's grandmother cried after voting; she realized she had mistakenly selected the wrong candidate. Democrats have employed a similar technique in Alaska.
BREAKING: NYT reports that operatives with Democratic Alaska U.S. Senate candidate Mary Peltola’s campaign were behind the effort to find & recruit a candidate named Dan Sullivan to run against incumbent GOP Senator Dan S. Sullivan in an effort to confuse voters and peel votes from him. Specifically, NYT says they have reviewed text messages and documents that reveal in summer 2025, a Peltola staffer received instructions from campaign staffers to find as many people named Dan Sullivan in Alaska as possible. The staffer complied, going through voter records, and compiled a list. The operation “involved secret trips to far-flung Alaskan communities and the appearance of a mysterious Midwestern operative, who traversed the state using a fake name and made his pitch to would-be candidates over beers at brew pubs.” Per NYT: “The plan worked. This spring, a retired teacher from a tiny fishing village along the Alaska Panhandle, reachable only by air and sea, announced his candidacy for Senate. His name was Dan J. Sullivan.” nytimes.com/2026/10/28/us/po…

How to get a leftist to care about immigration law:
Losing an election is not grounds for asylum. Yet the Trump Administration is giving Flávio Bolsonaro safe haven in the United States. In Brazil, he is under investigation for alleged corruption, money laundering and currency evasion, and was ordered to surrender his passports. The Trump Administration owes Congress answers on its role helping Bolsonaro flee Brazil in contravention of Brazilian law. apnews.com/article/brazil-fl…

Mask off. @CAgovernor Newsom states plainly that the Democrats are teaming up with the communists at @DemSocialists.
UNDERCOVER: GAVIN NEWSOM SAYS THE DSA IS "GOING TO BE DOMINANT" AND "MAINSTREAM" IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY! "The DSA, the energy and the desire and demand for bold change, not incremental change, is very much going to be dominant. I mean, that's going to be a mainstream Democratic movement. Absolutely. No question about that." That's California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a likely 2028 presidential candidate, speaking to an undercover journalist while campaigning in New Hampshire. Asked by a "younger voter" who said "we don't want Kamala Harris, we want more democratic socialist policies": "No one is arguing to manage the status quo and fail more efficiently." "You can't play in the margins anymore. The system's broken. It's completely unbalanced, and we can't manage the decline. We have to completely reimagine."

How is this real
“Please free her, my son.” Tremaine Carroll’s father goes public with an incoherent statement, discussing his son’s rape charges while he was housed in a California women’s prison. It’s hard to believe this father’s statement is real life and not some sick joke. California is housing fully intact male inmates in locked cells with women. It’s so monstrous as to render the reality of the situation hard to comprehend.
