Masks are back in Alameda County

It'll never end, will it?

The fact that unaccountable bureaucrats have so much power is a problem in itself.

RIP to Barbara Lee, Eric Swalwell and Ro Khanna in November.

I know you're being sarcastic but a.) I don't see how the mask mandate is because of them and b.) they come from 90% and 70% Democratic seats, so if they lose to anybody, it'll be another Democrat anyway.

If the Republican wave gets big enough, there is a chance that all three will lose re-election, particularly Eric Swalwell.

Barbara Jordan is from the second-bluest district in the nation. Unless you think the House will end up 434-1 Republican, Jordan is safe. Her seat is 90% Democratic. No wave and no scandal will take Jordan down (if she does lose to anybody, it'll be another Democrat).

She probably survives even the worst Republican wave then. Eric Swalwell I think could be vulnerable considering that he is always one of the biggest targets of Donald Trump and the MAGA movement. Also, Eric Swalwell iirc has some ethics issues that could be easy ammunition for his Republican opponent.

The libertarian/right's hate-boner for… Eric Swalwell of all people is one of the weirder side notes of our current political landscape.  It's not just Dule here either; Ben Garrison has about a dozen or so cartoons hating on this random congressman.

He ran a pointless vanity campaign, talked about nukes as a response to people not wanting to give up their guns, farted on national TV, screamed at Biden on the debate stage about passing the torch, and associated with a confirmed Chinese spy, and named his daughter Cricket. Easy guy to make fun of.
