Doug, This is a real unique situation because now. They have 3 very good candidates , Adam Schiff, Katie Porter and Barbara Lee( who in case others don't know was the only person to vote against going into Afghanistan after 911, whatever you may think of that) all in the same race to fill Diane Feinstein's seat.
I think Adam Schiff , with his high profile leadership in the Trump impeachments and 1/6 will probably win. Which is great and I'd be very satisfied with, But I do also like Katie Porter.
Jamie Dimond, head of JP Morgan Chase is considered a rock star among the corporate CEO's and the Wall Street waits with bated breathe at his every comment. This is priceless!
Doug, I've seen a few mentions in videos of Pee Wee Herman from you. I was a big fan, having first seen him on David Letterman in the early 80's. My Daughter also loved him. When she was 6, we went to see him. Because of connections I had to the SF comedy scene , we were able to go back stage and meet him! He was dressed normally in a t-shirt and jeans didn't act in character when we met him, but was very cool to her! A memory for the rest of our lives!
These are all the clips from his appearances on Letterman in the early 80's. He was an incredible talent! IMO
Both Adam Schiff and Katie Porter would be great U.S. Senators.
So would Pee-wee Herman if he were still with us. He truly was an original.

Hyeahh, I hope Newsome was aware of that. Otherwise that was kind of a dumb mistake. But I don't think that really matters. Both RFK and Hillary Clinton moved their residence to New York to run for Senate.
But it's a standby position. He can't appoint Adam Schiff, Katie Porter and Barbara Lee, because they are all running for Feinstein's seat in 2024. It's probably meant to foster new talent and not cause displacement of an acting Congressman that you then again would have to replace with someone else.
If there wasn't this knee jerk tendency to fill it with a minority, I think Jackie Speier who recently retired after serving in the house for many decades probably would have been a good emeritus appointment for a year, even though the title isn't the same, it does represent an honorary promotion of achievement.
I reacted too soon in making a rash assessment on Gov. Newsom's appointment. This was because I so much wanted Rep.
Adam Schiff be appointed. The New York Times today has an article on the many merits of Newsom's decision. Now I see the wisdom in it.
My hope is that next year Schiff will be elected the Senate in the general election.

Paul Krugman on "Why MAGA Wants to Betray the Ukraine":
From the article: The answer is, unfortunately, obvious. Whatever Republican hard-liners may say, they want Putin to win. They view the Putin regime’s cruelty and repression as admirable features that America should emulate. They support a wannabe dictator at home and are sympathetic to actual dictators abroad.So pay no attention to all those complaints about how much we’re spending in Ukraine. They aren’t justified by the actual cost of aid, and the people claiming to be worried about the cost don’t really care about the money. What they are, basically, is enemies of democracy, both abroad and at home. -
From an article in today's Washington Post:
Inside the meeting, Democratic leaders showed a video of McCarthy on CBS’s “Face the Nation” on Sunday, in which he attempted to blame Democrats for wanting to shut down the government. The charge was a misrepresentation of the events of the past several weeks, when House Republicans were unable to fund the government with only Republican support. All but one House Democrat voted for the eventual short-term government funding bill.
Democrats inside the room were “outraged” at seeing McCarthy trying to blame them, according to Rep. Gerald E. Connolly (D-Va.).
“His performance was a very clarifying event for Democrats,” said Connolly, who added he will vote to remove McCarthy.

Gov. Newsom's choice to replace Senator Feinstein is so controversial and weird that it calls into question his judgment in seeking the Democratic nomination for President.

I can't read it without subscribing.
Ron, sorry about that. The article says, "A whistleblower lawsuit against Attorney General Ken Paxton can move forward, the Texas Supreme Court ruled on Friday, setting the stage for the Republican to again face the allegations that spurred his impeachment."
[Basically, it says Paxton's legal problems are not over until the fat lady sings.]
