Hmmm. Why, in 1941, would an American synagogue be interested in the establishment of a Jewish state? What exactly was going on in 1941 that might have made that a worthy goal? It’s a real mystery.

Our next Governor must fight for our values, but they’ll have to fix California’s problems too. Because every time we fail to reduce homelessness or make life more affordable, we give our opponents more ammunition. My plan is to disarm Trump by making life better for Californians

I repeat my message to normal Californians: This is the guy

"There is now unambiguous, solid economic evidence, not just abstract economic theory, that rent control would make the affordability problems facing [Massachusetts] worse, not better." - Jon Gruber, Chairman of the Economics Department at MIT

“Ask our government to do better before we ask people to give more.” An expectation of radical competence from our government and our politicians would be transformational for our society.

Just arrest people who do crime and keep taxes and public spending relatively low is like 80% of the whole ballgame but definitely does not get 80% of the attention paid by think tanks and policy Substacks.

This is ridiculous. If you don't like the results of your formula for selecting who attends, change it for next time, but cancelling the debate day-of is unjust to the entire electorate of California. We are the world's 5th largest economy and this is amateur hour.

Trump is bad, but the vast majority of problems in California are not because of Trump. This kind of resist lib slop might help you win a primary, but it's the absolute wrong strategy for governing the state.

Here’s something you won’t hear a lot of Democrats say: nuclear energy is something that the Trump Admin is getting right and California is getting wrong. We need more affordable energy, not less, and nuclear should be part of our future energy toolbelt.

Shouldn’t it be creating… high-speed rail though?

San Francisco could cut 10,000 government jobs and still have the bureaucracy per capita of Singapore, which has better infrastructure and public service. Unions are claiming 127 deadweight jobs are somehow existential to the city.

Quick reminder that there is a candidate for Governor with: 1) An outcome oriented track record as Mayor; 2) An impressive private sector resume; 3) No accusations of abuse from staffers (sexual or otherwise). And because it’s California, he’s only polling with 3% of the vote.

I'm holding out hope for Mayor Matt Mahan for CA governor. San Jose is well governed. He cut permitting delays and built more housing. SJ actually solves violent crimes, and it turns out this reduces violent crimes! And I'd much rather elevate an effective mayor than a DC rep.

Are government failures in California fueling the MAGA movement? San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan on why the next governor of California matters more than ever.

We should ban partisan gerrymandering nationwide. It's bad for our country. Republicans control Congress and should introduce the bill. Democrats will support it.

This behavior is especially unacceptable for law students. What do they think? That they can interrupt and disrupt their opponents in court? Nope. They'll be forced to listen and respond with reason, not disruption.

It's hard to emphasize how every single Biden White House insider book portrayed Xavier Becerra as a disaster - an impulsive pick when the Biden team was getting criticism for not having a Latino in the Cabinet - who everyone thought was a failure x.com/KevinLiao_/sta…

I was okay with Becerra until hearing his answers at the debate tonight. Freezing home insurance rates is quite possibly the worst policy you could pursue in California right now. What the fuck.

For the love of God, San Francisco, do not replace Nancy Pelosi with a guy who campaigns with a bigot.

Here's YC's official advice about being truthful and precise about what is pilot, bookings, revenue and recurring revenue. Founders, particularly first time founders, need to sear this into their brains. Don't mistake one tier for another. Be precise, and always be truthful.
