Exit polls (which, grains of salt, but usually about particular demographics) show that Californians approve of mask mandates and other ant-pandemic measures.
If I could have stuck a question into the exit poll process, it would have been how much what's been happening in Texas has been on the mind of Californians.
The 5th largest economy in the world gets to keep someone who is (imperfectly but) pursing a real climate agenda.
100%. It's a mystery to me why this wasn't included in Biden's announcements today.

“Nobody can tell me to wear a mask but I can tell you must have a child”
GOP: The "freedom of the individual"—even if the supposed infringement of that freedom is passingly small and the collective cost is staggeringly high—is paramount, right up to the uterus' door.
And expect no help in feeding, raising that child.
GOP: An unborn child is precious. But once they leave the womb, they must be sacrificed to the gods of "freedom," if that's what it takes for people to watch football at a sports bar without a mask.
As I've had my only vacation in 2+ years ethered by needing to take care of a breakthrough case whom I know to be both vaxxed and careful, I'd really like a better understanding of this too. Especially after reading this story: baltimoresun.com/opinion/op-ed/…
Again, I urge everyone to read this by a Johns Hopkins epidemiologist who went to a dinner party with 13 other vaxxed adults. 11 of whom got COVID. CDC should be tracking breakthrough cases to better hone in on risk broadly or more specifically baltimoresun.com/opinion/op-ed/…
.@PreetBharara, who, reminder, is now a podcaster and has no influence over the investigation into Cuomo, should do an emergency podcast on just how insane this all is.
"...Mr. Kim played major roles in the SDNY’s grand jury investigation of Governor Cuomo’s disbanding of the Moreland Commission and the subsequent grand jury investigation and prosecution of Joseph Percoco, a very close friend of the Governor and a member of his administration."
