my parents' neighbor is the GOP nominee in CA-02. he's softly anti-Trump & acknowledges climate change. he will v likely lose general (weird Dem rural district that spans Golden Gate-Oregon). fascinating as a polisky researcher of intraparty ideological differences in congressional candidates!

it would be nice if those types of Republicans started running in “safe” (often, uncontested) red districts instead of those Freedom Caucus people who are totally unhinged. If we are really lucky, maybe Congress could even pass a budget every once in a while

our dog thinks his dog is the absolute worst one in the whole neighborhood
