@thestustustudio Fascinating. I’d never watched a second of this asshat before and he clearly will implode the dems. Here for it. Agree that I actually had some empathy for Raman and at least respect she didn’t cave on everything. Wonder if she regrets doing this.

Hasan ends with a rapid-fire purity test. Medicare for All. Universal childcare. Abolish ICE. Raise taxes on billionaires. End encampment sweeps in LA. On sweeps, she does not give the activist answer. She says it “depends on your definition,” then adds, “We’d have to be able to do cleanups.” Then Hasan keeps going: $30 citywide minimum wage, LAPD trips to Israel, “free Palestine.” Raman survived the struggle session, but the whole thing exposed the tension perfectly. The activist left wants ideological compliance. But governing a city requires reality, even when the person saying it is a DSA member. And after all that, Raman still had to end by making the actual pitch: vote for me, because I’m the only viable alternative to the broken status quo or a MAGA Republican.

🧵 What a rough night for Nithya Raman. Hasan Piker put the LA mayoral candidate and DSA member through a full-on struggle session over her record, repeatedly pressing her to explain where she had fallen short of the movement line. And honestly, even as a conservative, I felt bad for her. This was brutal. One flashpoint was a DSA criticism over Raman’s role in a city resolution tied to the UTLA BDS fight. But the exchange was bigger than that. This was not a good-faith interview. It was an ideological audit. Raman mostly tried to answer politically. She came to DSA through housing and homelessness, said this was not her area of expertise, said she had learned more, and promised she was “committed to learning more.” Stick around for more, because by the end of this even Hasan’s chat wanted his head.

@NYCMayor Sure thing buddy. Bet your wife is 'so relieved' this attack was stopped.

I’m grateful to our NYPD and federal law enforcement partners for disrupting an alleged plot involving a senior member of Kataib Hezbollah — a federally-designated terrorist organization — who was targeting a Manhattan synagogue, as well as Jewish communities across the country. I am relieved that everyone is safe. The unsealing of the terrorism-related charges comes amid an alarming rise in antisemitism across the country. Let me be clear: antisemitism, violent extremism, and terrorism have no place in our city. This kind of hate is despicable. I’m thankful this alleged attack was stopped before any New Yorkers were hurt.

@TheKevinDalton A journalism!

Gavin Newsom 7 months ago: I’ll get answers a the Capital Annex immediately. Gavin Newsom 2 months ago: I’ll get answers a the Capital Annex immediately. Democrat project leader today: Yeah… I can’t really say why the Capital Annex is now $1.2 BILLION

@Twolfrecovery @PollTracker2024 Connie is TERRIBLE, yet a million miles less vile than Saikat. Can't f'ing believe that I'll probably vote for her in the primary. Maybe we'll get lucky and she'll leave the BOS to focus on the congressional race.

@PollTracker2024 As bad as Chan is, she didn't hold a rally in San Francisco with Hasan Piker. Just sayin...

EMC Research poll | 5/3-5/7 LV US House 2026 | California’s 11th congressional district jungle primary (Top two vote getters advance to November) 🟦Scott Wiener 38% 🟦Connie Chan 22% 🟦Saikat Chakrabarti 21% Link to article: politico.com/newsletters/ca…

@JoelWBerry @JenSiebelNewsom @CAgovernor Why doesn’t the state just eliminate sales tax on diapers? No operational costs and benefits every parent.

@JenSiebelNewsom @CAgovernor Why didn’t California work directly with a supplier instead of filtering money through an NGO at a cost of 5 times more per diaper?

Beginning this summer, every newborn delivered in a participating California hospital will receive 400 diapers at no cost to the family! California families deserve to feel supported during one of life’s most exciting, yet vulnerable, transitions. Through Golden State Start, and in partnership with @baby2baby, we are proud to provide immediate relief, ease the financial burden on parents, and support healthier outcomes for babies and their mothers.

@saikatc Kudos to you for making San Franciscans say “you know what, someone could actually be WORSE than Connie Chan!”

It's always been about people-powered movements, and this time it's not just one of us at the top of a presidential ticket. This time, we have candidates across the country ready to change the party.

@Twolfrecovery @HasanabiProd That is a dangerous assumption.

@HasanabiProd Bunch of out of towners carpetbagging my home town. I was born in SF. Y'all not from here.

Hasan Piker is greeted to a packed crowd in San Francisco as he joins the Change The Party rally Not a single counter-protester showed up despite the failed initiative 😔

@Twolfrecovery @MattMahanSJ Interview with him in the Chronicle today was painfully bad and amateurish. His whole platform is HHS expertise yet he clearly has no plan and can't explain a damn thing.

Becerra is not the answer. Porter and Steyer will tax the state into oblivion. If you're a Democrat, the only real choice you have is @MattMahanSJ. I'm not kidding.

@KevinBriggs1776 @ZavalaA You spelled 'most' wrong

@ZavalaA Even if it were legal, "freezing rates" are price controls that will cause more insurance companies to leave the California market.

Can the governor of California freeze insurance rates? Xavier Becerra has said he would if elected. Today, all but one of the candidates running for California Insurance Commissioner said no, it's not legal. One said it would be an interesting case study.

@adamlyttleapps @nikitabier Next @adamlyttleapps app incoming

@nikitabier I want to setup live spaces with subscribers but that doesn’t seem possible At the very least I want to be able to see who subscribers are This would be helpful for creating a Q&A / consulting type spaces Just a thought

@Ananasi01 @RetroCoast There not many who remember. Classic whatchamacallit was my favorite candy bar ever

@RetroCoast I loved the candy bar before they added the camel to it.

If you remember this candy bar, you lived in the best days of America

@_piccone Gene Hart would approve

Jim Jackson. What a call

@CleGuardPro @GaryBazzana @CleGuardians Blue Sox!

Cleveland #Guardians 23yr old (2B) prospect Travis Bazzana's father posted a video of the family loading up in a shuttle bus headed to Cleveland from Australia to watch his MLB debut tonight vs Tampa. #GuardsBall #TBazz 🇦🇺

@bettersoma So much harm being reduced

“Don’t record” 4 narcan. 1000s dead. It’s not the recording. Just to be clear here.

@Twolfrecovery @RobStutzman @rpyers ARE awful

@RobStutzman @rpyers Steyer and Becerra were awful.

Two worst Ds on stage were the ones supposedly ahead in the polls. Would think Porter and Mahan helped themselves with viewers. Awful night for CBS. Moderators should never talk that much.

@DDrolapas @JimCarrollSF $8,000 in the Richmond?!?!

@JimCarrollSF Richmond.

A building I sold in San Francisco last year had a vacant 3 bedroom 2 bath flat I projected to rent for $5,500. It just rented for $8,000.

@ToddZolecki He’s gonna go and it’s probably time but man do I appreciate the good years he gave us. Bummer.

Rob Thomson, on speculation about his job security: “Well, I mean, that’s natural, right? It’s normal. And I’ve never worried about that in my entire career. I worked for a guy for 28 years [Yankees owner George Steinbrenner] who, as the ‘Seinfeld’ episode will tell you, ‘Fires people like it's a bodily function,’ and it never bothered me. It didn’t. I don't have time to think about it. I’m a person that thinks about other people and what can I do to help them. And it's out of my control. So that's where I'm at.”

@marcuslemonis @CAgovernor @ContainerStore @BedBathBeyond I have and I don't understand what you're trying to say. (Also doesn't help that the article isn't linked / is probably paywalled)

@harad @CAgovernor @ContainerStore @BedBathBeyond It didn’t . Read the entire post

Thank you for the massive incentives you @CAgovernor provided our company to be able to purchase the @ContainerStore. And we are happy to add @BedBathBeyond to our lineup so we can generate the revenue needed to hurdle the higher than normal operating cost. Your entrepreneurial spirit to provide what you did made the difference. If you have read this far you know it’s not true.

@UKPhillies Congratulations, you are now officially a Phillies fan (see: 1985 - 1992, 1995 - 2006, 2012 - 2021...)

At this point what do we do, what can we do. Can’t even bring myself to watch the highlights atm, not even getting worked up over it anymore, getting numb to it.
