"Dearest Martha,

The Yanks have had us on the run all winter and morale is low. Last night we had to boil boots for supper, but I remain as determined as ever to enforce immigration laws in the California territory.

Yours faithfully,

Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III

California is looking good for the midterms

Republicans who could run a competitive race are taking a pass on ousting Feinstein
 
The deadline came and went, and no prominent Republicans filed to run against Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein, meaning for the second election in a row there will be two Democrats facing each other in a race at the top of the ballot in California.

Feinstein, 84, is seeking her fifth full term. She will have 31 opponents on the June 5 primary, with one serious contender, a Democrat, taking most of her attention and showing up in polls.

California has a top-two primary system, which means the top-two vote-getters advance to the general election, regardless of party. In 2016, a handful of Republican candidates in the top of the pack split the GOP vote, and sent then-Rep. Loretta Sanchez, a Democrat, to the general election with Democrat Kamala Harris, who won the race. It was the first time two Democrats ran against each other statewide.

The senator had $10 million in the bank as of Dec. 31.

Senate leader Kevin de León of Los Angeles, who is running against Feinstein, had raised about $360,000 through the end of last year and has struggled to match the name recognition brought by Feinstein's quarter-century in the public eye. He did manage to prevent the California Democratic Party from endorsing Feinstein, thanks in part to his embrace of progressive activists frustrated by Feinstein's moderate nature.

Republicans weren't able to recruit a candidate with statewide name recognition, despite concerns that the lack of a standard bearer at the top of the ticket could keep GOP voters from turning out in November. Depressed turnout could hurt the party's chances of holding crucial congressional seats. Polls also suggest no Republican will make it to the top-two in the governor's race, although two better-known candidates are trying to prevail.

84? Retire already, geeze.

No kidding. Politicians that hold on to power into their twilight years like that are just weird.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Wait so Feinstein is going to be in office until she is 91?

Well I hope whatever that Democrat is that is running against her wins.

So Russia attempts to assasinate a former spy on British soil, and potentially expose hundreds of brits to a nerve agent.

The Brits have good evidence the Russians are behind it and publicly say so.

Trump administration pointedly says nothing about the incident.

Sigh.

Would you rather he publicly take Russia's side?

What an odd comment.   Wouldn't he publicly take the side of an ally?

Oops I realize that might be a trick question.
