California Governor Gavin Newsom said on Saturday that a $1 billion settlement offer by President Donald Trump’s administration for UCLA amounted to political extortion to which the state will not bow.

I don’t know. I think Newsom is a greasy snake, but also no one else was really stepping up to be the face of opposition. While he’s only pushing back like this out of naked self-interest for 2028, at least he’s not mealy-mouthed or folding like nearly everyone else. Do I think his resistance is principled? Not really. But I don’t know that if he stepped back that the resulting vacuum would actually be filled.
Pritzker is a far better person to take that place IMHO, he actually has policy wins under his belt.
As a Minnesotan, I’m partial to Walz. I’m furious about how they set him up to fail in 2024 by putting him on the ticket then promptly shoving him in a corner.
I like Walz a lot too, but I think I’m done wanting a nice leader on the left. Walz is wholesome and we need someone that’s going to just call them the party of pedophiles at this point.
Walz was all set to get feisty with the GOP when Harris, et al put a leash on him.
Fellow MN resident here and I was so livid on how they did Walz so fucking dirty! He’s done more for our state than many other state govs put together!
MN is one of the best states to live in and they just used him as bait! We live in such a savage country which the billionaires are now controlling! I would love to see a Walz ticket for pres soon!!
MN LOVE ❤️
Alternatively, maybe we should keep him to ourselves as a shield against whatever bullshit the federal government is getting up to.
Yeah, not like billionaire owned media has a reason to ignore what progressives and the current DNC is doing…
/S
You’re not the only one who doesn’t understand this, but it is fucking frustrating so many can’t figure it out on their own.
If you’re waiting on the billionaire class to tell the millionaire class to tell you who is willing to overthow the billionaires…
Just, what the fuck man?
Really?
It will literally never happen.
