Assaulting restaurant workers doing their jobs and following NYC regulations is abominable. The city should increase the penalty for assaulting a worker who is following the law on vaccine mandates.

"The language in the ads echoes that of far-right commentators, including Fox News’s Tucker Carlson, who have advanced a 'replacement theory' that says liberals are seeking to replace White citizens with non-White immigrants who are inclined to support the Democratic Party."

“'Trumpism is not defeated in this country,' Newsom said in his victory speech in offering both a warning and a blueprint to Democrats. They need to take that to heart."

"And what does that ‘lucky' claim even mean? It’s not like Elder was picked out of thin air by chance. There were over 40 candidates vying to topple Newsom in the recall. Elder rose to the top because that is what the GOP base is now, built on hardcore Trumpism."

"And they have no choice because Trump has taken the entire party hostage. That’s why it’s completely false to say Newsom 'got lucky' with Elder. If he got lucky, then every Democrat in a competitive race is going to get lucky."

"As extreme as all that sounds, it’s now the standard for GOP elected officials and candidates all across the country. "

"But what actually killed Elder wasn’t his ‘baggage’ in the form of things he said on the radio over the years. It was his embracing Trumpism in the here and now — opposing vaccine mandates & sound public health and supporting the Big Lie.”

"In their latest iteration, Newsom 'got lucky' because his chief opponent was Larry Elder, right-wing extremist and 25-year radio former radio host who pundits said had a lot of 'baggage.’"

"But now that Newsom trounced in a spectacular victory, with 64% of Californians voting no to the recall, much of the same political media — always pandering to a bullying GOP — is saying not to read much into the outcome in California."

"For months, as Democratic voters in California seemed complacent in the face of recall of Newsom, much of the national political media claimed California would send dire warnings to the Democratic Party."
