TIM O’BRIEN: Elon Musk and the Politics of Envy “Envy is the lifeblood of leftist politics, and Musk is merely their latest, biggest, and most convenient target. But it’s worth being reminded that to the left, you are no different than Elon Musk. Let me explain.”

2028 PREVIEW: Support broadens beyond Harris, Newsom in Democratic primary poll.
In the latest The Center Square Voters’ Voice Poll conducted from June 4-6 among registered voters who identify as Democrats and left-leaning Independents, Harris maintained a strong lead, capturing the support of 27% of the 1,224 polled.

Looks like an opportunity for a DLC-style moderate to step in, but they seem to have been hunted to extinction.
