qwant news | Good Riddance to Jared Polis, America’s Worst Elected Democrat AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. The article is a vehement opinion piece denouncing Colorado Governor Jared Polis as “America’s worst elected Democrat.” The author argues that Polis betrayed democratic principles by granting clemency to election‑official Tina Peters, timing the decision to avoid legislative backlash, and repeatedly vetoing bipartisan bills that would have protected consumers, workers, and transparency. Citing personal grievance, the writer claims Polis is a pawn of Silicon Valley billionaire Peter Thiel, accusing him of using his wealth to buy political power, favoring corporate interests (including Uber, Lyft, and rent‑price algorithms), and abandoning Colorado’s voters in favor of Trump‑aligned agendas. The piece portrays Polis’s actions as evidence of a right‑ward shift that serves oligarchic donors rather than the public, forecasting that any future presidential bid would be a disastrous extension of this behavior.

qwant news | Tom Steyer gives middle finger to Mark Zuckerberg over contribution in CA gov. race AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Billionaire California gubernatorial candidate Tom Steyer slammed Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg after a filing showed the company’s $950,000 donation to a working‑families super‑PAC that backs Xavier Becerra’s 2026 governor bid, warning that the same day Meta announced layoffs affecting more than 10% of its workforce (about 8,000 employees, including 500 in the Bay Area). Steyer posted on X: “5 p.m. today: Meta gives $950K for @XavierBecerra. 4 a.m. tomorrow: Meta lays off 10% of workforce… Mark Zuckerberg wants a friend in Sacramento. I won’t be.” The contribution was made to the Independent Expenditure‑Only Political Committee “Working Families for Healthy Communities Supporting Becerra for Governor 2026,” which can spend unlimited money but cannot give directly to candidates. A recent state Democratic Party poll showed Becerra at 21% support versus Steyer’s 15%, and the California Post has sought comment from the Becerra campaign.

World & Nation | Coded messages, 'red boxing' and other allegations in California's testy race for governor by Seema Mehta AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Xavier Becerra’s 2026 California gubernatorial campaign has drawn attention for posting a “red‑boxed” webpage that outlines attack points against billionaire rival Tom Steyer and suggests messaging for independent‑expenditure committees, a tactic known as “red‑boxing” that lets campaigns signal preferred ads without directly coordinating with Super PACs. Legal experts say the practice skirts campaign‑finance rules that prohibit direct contact with outside spenders, noting that while it can invite fines, candidates often accept the risk in exchange for strategic gains. The move comes as Becerra, the former U.S. Health and Human Services secretary, has surged in the polls—tying Steyer at 13%—and is now a leading contender to replace term‑limited Gov. Gavin Newsom, prompting scrutiny of both the legality and morality of this increasingly common strategy in high‑stakes elections.

The Guardian | Working Americans are taking the streets for May Day. Will Democrats pay attention? | Claire Valdez by Claire Valdez AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. May Day on May 1, 2026 saw more than 3,000 protests across the United States as workers, students and families demanded a strike that halts school, work and shopping while ending billionaire rule. Claire Valdez, a New York assemblymember, union organizer and Democratic socialist running for Congress, argues that both the Republican and Democratic establishments have abandoned the working class—exemplified by policies that ignore the cost‑of‑living crisis, fund overseas conflicts, and deregulate labor protections. She links today’s struggle to the historic fight for the eight‑hour day, noting that modern oligarchs such as Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos are undermining workers’ rights while private‑equity gutts hospitals and pensions. Valdez calls for organized action, quoting UAW president Shawn Fain that it is time to decide the world we want and what we are willing to do, and urges unions to set contracts to expire on May 1 2028 and prepare for a general strike and a progressive electoral surge. The piece frames May Day as both beautiful and devastating—a reminder of the high stakes and the power of collective action to secure dignified wages, benefits, housing, healthcare and a good life for ordinary Americans.

@QasimRashid@mastodon.social Qasim is right about the #DemocraticParty establishment But I want to underline an important point: "I won't #vote until centrist #Democrats magically turn left" is not a coherent position What you do is you vote, in the #primaries, and replace them They won't change. *You* have to vote Not voting merely means they get worse, and #MAGA wins Low voter turnout from the left helped them become as they are today You have to vote IN THE PRIMARIES What did #Mamdani teach us?

For the first time in modern state history, a Democrat is running in every race on the Texas ballot next year, thanks to a recruitment campaign by Democratic groups and politicians. “No Republican gets a free ride in Texas,” Texas Democratic Party Chair Kendall Scudder said in an interview.
