Senator calls LA unrest "anarchy and chaos": Live Updates
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said Tuesday she is likely to announce a curfew, to go into effect within a matter of hours, amid the unrest and riots across her city. Newsweek's live blog is closed.
Once again, fuck Fetterman! He is a wolf barely concealed in sheep's clothing. I hope people recognize this not as a betrayal to the Democratic party, but to the United States.
Definitely wouldn't be the first time for him.
Here's another recent and very blatant example regarding the ban on state AI regulations
You're viewing a single thread.
Why does this always happen with progressive "icons"? Or is it just more noticeable when it does?
Who considers Fetterman a progressive icon? That dude has been a right leaning "moderate" at bestNVM, you mean Newsome? Probably because Trump is trying to instigate a civil war, and he needs red states to back him against a progressive boogey man.
I think back in an earlier election Fetterman was considered a worker's rights pro-union progressive. He even was supported by Bernie I believe.
The other one I'm thinking of was Krysten Sinema who everyone thought was progressive but stabbed workers in the back.
I'm not sure Newsom has ever been considered progressive. He's always been a pretty centrist Democrat.
To fetterman's (limited) credit, he was literally brain damaged from a stroke a few years back right before he switched sides
This. There was a dramatic shift in his behavior pre-stroke to post-stroke. He also underwent treatment for depression afterwards. It definitely altered his brain.
Exactly. My father was a rational person until his TBI. Then he became a trumper and went full in on Ancient Aliens.
Progressive in terms of voters or in terms of the GOP?
If you're not supporting
the FührerTrump and his policies, the GOP will claim you're a "progressive" being paid by George Soros. Anyone disagreeing and from California might as well just be wearing a shirt that says "I'm with Soros," from their perspective.My governor does this all the fucking time, and I'm in Louisiana. Anytime something doesn't go his way, he claims it is due to outsiders like Soros influencing local politics. Yet he's literally run televised ads for his own policies that were paid for by a Heritage Foundation affiliate, and somehow that's ok.
I've been very disappointed by people like Newsome, and wasting time trying to compromise/reaching across the aisle to literal extremists bullshit that so many Dems have been playing since Jan, but I have to say, I truly believe he's handling Trump trying to instigate a federal takeover in the smartest way possible.
Blue states are not winning a fist fight right now, and that's why threatening to withhold federal taxes is the best strategy. I hope other blue states join him.
What Trump is expecting is taxation without representation. Why should anyone pay taxes to a king? This is America.
Newsom is the consummate neoliberal. He will stab both the left or the right in the neck any time he thinks it’s politically or economically beneficial for himself.
