Porter is a Warren lib who was just photographed reading The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck in the middle of some congressional session where the republicans were being highly uncivil. “I guess she DOES actually give a fuck—about advancing her career!” (Laughter and applause)

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck

It's sad how easy it is for a politician to create an "authentic" moment that goes viral.

I think the plan for Senators in California is "literally stay in office till you die of old age so the Governor can appoint a centrist who is a sitting Senator so we don't have a competitive primary and accidentally have a progressive sneak in." Porter is an Orange County Democrat so I assume she's not great.

don't make your judgement just from her being from Orange County! She's like a normal California democrat. That does not mean great though

Irvine today is different from Ronald Reagan days. It has a giant university in the middle and had tech and medical jobs and stuff. Earlier it was mostly financial companies out here

Irvine is hell on earth for architectural design, ugliest big city I've ever seen. I've worked in Irvine before and yes it is most certainly to the right of LA city politically. Irvine is home to endless suburbs and business parks and the staff at UCI are most likely PMC liberals or outright conservatives.

Lmao Feinstein says she's running in 2024 so good luck getting the donors necessary for a statewide campaign.

Feinstein says she’s running in 2024

When did she say that?

Last year her office did bullshit PR that she filled for technical reasons but she wasn't actually planning on running. And DC reporters are so fucking useless that they didn't put her feet to the fire.
