24. Newsom is not "the one" and I doubt he'll be the 2028 nominee

At least I fervently hope he isn’t. I’ll be pissed if I’m forced to vote for him lol.

Pritzker’s looking better and better. Hochul’s stepping up. I’d have loved to vote for Walz but he’s taken himself off the board. A damn shame.

I am loving the activism of some of the Dem senators like Van Hollen. Mayor Jacob Frey is damn impressive - more of him please.

I’m growing more convinced any Dem nominee needs to vow to bring these monsters to justice and have the chops to begin to restore international alliances.
