"Being a professional diplomat in the age of Trump is like being a coachman in the age of the car. Simply put, you are no longer needed. Your expertise determines your uselessness."--Ivan Krastev, "We are Living in the Age of the Middleman," Financial Times

Happy Mother’s Day! No thanks to Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who in 1974 co-authored a report proposing that Congress abolish Mother’s Day and Father’s Day and replace them with an androgynous Parents’ Day. Observing Parents’ Day would, she explained, be “more consistent with a policy of minimizing traditional sex-based differences in parental roles.” In that same report, the oh-so-“moderate” Ginsburg stated her strong sympathy for the proposition that there is a constitutional right to prostitution and a constitutional right to bigamy; criticized the Boy Scouts and the Girl Scouts for perpetuating stereotyped sex roles; and urged that prisons be co-ed rather than single sex. See link in reply for details.

Mahan like Harris are the type of candidates from the clinton school and if this is going bust for Democrats even in states like california it's going to be harder than they think. Democrats beat trump in 2020, but they also lost to bush in 2004 and trump in 2024.

He's right, from their point of view Silicon Valley might've swung the California Governorship from ultra-progressive billionaire Tom Steyer to Silicon Valley technocrat centrist Matt Mahan, but Brin's MAGA girlfriend got in the way x.com/mattyglesias/s…

This is really bad for Democrats. Tech was a key part of their efforts to take california from the nixon-reagan coalition. Worst case scenario for them Biden is Bush 41 where their coalition breaks and their base is empowered. We'll see.

A few days after Sergey Brin donated $1 million to boost Matt Mahan, Mahan blew up his schedule to meet with Brin and his girlfriend at Tahoe. Mahan took a private jet belonging to a different tech titan. The dinner did not go as Mahan expected — no new money came his way. A few days later, Brin's girlfriend was calling him "boring" with the "personality of a wooden spoon."

So proud of @weijia. She was on the stage less than an hour ago presiding over the abrupt end of the dinner and now she’s in the front row of the White House briefing room waiting to for the President to speak.

Jimmy Failla: "To protest Donald Trump tonight, a lot of the liberal correspondents are wearing pins on their outfits. A lot of pins up and down the lapels. They look like waitresses at TGI Fridays. I just ordered a plate of potato skins off Margaret Brennan."
