Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) slammed the U.S. operation that captured Venezuela's authoritarian President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, saying it is not aimed at countering drug-trafficking.
The DNC seems to be moving in a better direction, we’ll see if they manage to not ratfuck the primary next time. If they get a landslide in the midterms they’d at least be able to mitigate a good deal of the shenanigans.
Gavin Newsom is certainly positioning himself for a primary bid, but I haven’t seen DNC leadership backing him? I think the chances of having a proper primary (which Newsom hopefully will not win) are a lot better with a grassroots-focused guy like Ken Martin as the DNC chair than with Debbie Wasserman Schultz. However, Tom Perez was supposed to be fairly progressive and his DNC still rigged the primary for Biden, so it’s too early to really tell.

Are they? Because it seems to me like they’re trying to push Gavin fucking Newsom as their next candidate.
