Great news! Kamala Harris has formed an LLC, Pioneer49, as an organization to help her in the next stage of her career. The naming convention follows President Obama’s Renegade44 he formed at the end of his presidency.
www.politico.com/news/2025/01…— David Darmofal (@daviddarmofal.bsky.social) January 23, 2025 at 5:30 PM
Per Politico, “Kamala Harris provides a big signal about her next move”:
… The former vice president established an LLC called Pioneer49 last month in her home state of California, according to her presidential campaign’s final financial disclosure that was filed last week and confirmed by a person familiar with the organization’s plans.
The disclosure form described the organization as an “entity to assist the former vice president” and is likely to help fuel Harris’ next political move.
“Pioneer” is Harris’ code name used by the Secret Service, and her LLC takes on the same naming convention used by former President Barack Obama in creating the organization Renegade44 when he left office. (Harris is the 49th vice president.)
Harris has kept any considerations about political future close to the vest, but she has told advisers and allies to keep her options open, POLITICO reported in November. There are essentially three options for Harris: run for governor of California in 2026, run for president again in 2028 or decline to run for office and be a leader of the party from the sidelines…
This may, of course, be nothing but a standard ‘front company’ for book deals and speaking tours — but I thought it was a nice little flicker of hope to start the weekend!

@cmorenc: No, no Jews in that slot, the young, loud pro Palestinians wouldn’t have it.
Then again, it seems their activities have had the opposite of their desired effect, a recent Harris poll shows that Israel has made significant gains in US popularity, almost 80% say that the recent conflict was the fault of the Palestinians, not the Israelis.
It was never a matter of saying they weren’t allowed to protest, it was for them to realize they were in a hole and should stop digging.
Trump will order the deportation of all international students who showed support for terror groups, which include Hamas and Hezbollah.
The student intifada group on Columbia’s campus disrupted a Jewish studies class, one of Trump’s new appointees told Columbia that permitting this was inexcusable and if they didn’t act, they would hear from him soon.
All the more reason to wonder about the origins of the protest.
But, I digress. Shapiro is a talented and popular leader in his state, but a Jew would have about as much chance as a black woman right now.

Looks like it’s 50-50 and Hesgeth will get in. I predict he will drink himself out of the job within 6 months.
As for Kamala, I have always felt that she should run for governor. There is a mess of Democratic candidates out there, none of whom particularly stand out, largely because they are all on a revolving door of positions. She would clear the field, save everyone a lot of money because she will win at least 55% of the vote without trying (and she would try way more than Newsom did in 2022), probably breaking 60% easily once the felon proves how bad he is at governing (again). It would be a great capstone to her career to put California on the road to the future in an environment where climate change has made it far more uncertain, and governing the 5th-largest economy in the world counts for way more than knife-fighting Josh Shapiro in 2028, IMO.

I believe a VRA lawsuit enabled another Black Democrat to win election to.Congress from Louisiana this year. And a VRA lawsuit in Virginia redrew the 4th CD that Jennifer McClellan now holds. The late Don McEachin won that seat in 2016.

Obviously, in the grand scheme of things, this is extremely minor with the bad shit Trump has done and will do, but I can’t understand the reason for the proposed 20% tariff on Swiss watches. Like, there’s virtually no American watch industry and there hasn’t been for decades. American watch brands were struggling and failing pre-quartz crisis in the 1950s and 60s. The little of it that does exist, is very niche, new microbrands founded in the last 10 years. And from what I understand, they use foreign-made parts and movements, such as Swiss or Japanese ones (they have to, none of it is made here) and the watches are already incredibly expensive.
The Swiss and Japanese largely don’t fabricate their own parts/movements either, especially on the lower/affordable end. They get them from China.
It’s a personal thing for me and it’s not like I was going to buy a Patek or anything, but maybe a Hamilton, Tissot, or a Mido from Swatch. Not to sound whiny, but watch collecting is a hobby I really enjoy and Trump is fucking ruining that.
I wonder what bullshit tariffs he’ll slap on Japanese watches

Like Xochitl Torres Small, Abigail Spanberger entered Congress after flipping a Republican seat in 2018. They probably know each other fairly well.
This morning’s Politico Playbook gave a brief rundown of this and next year’s Governor races. They rated Virginia’s as a “Tossup.” I don’t think they took into account Spanberger’s ruthlessness. That’s a quality I have come to appreciate in a politician, and she’s got it.

Sadly, I disagree. Hegseth, Vance and their ilk will do their best to remove women from the military, police force and other “manly jobs.” We’ll fight back, but it’s going to get worse before it returns to any semblance of pre Project 2025 regulations.
Eolirin
@Jackie: Yes, but that won’t take us back to the pre-70’s women’s lib revolution. If women were forced out of the workforce broadly, even in a lot of “manly” jobs, those sectors would collapse. There are too many women working in them. And women don’t view themselves as being only capable of being diligent housewives who can’t live independently of men anymore. It’s going to be even harder to try to convince them otherwise, you can only do it at society level scale via extreme oppression and violence.
I don’t think enough of the country is ready to go there for that to be something they can pull off.
Things will be worse than they were. And it’ll take us decades to undo this kind of backslide, but some things, once they happen, really can’t be reversed fully, at least not without completely breaking society for at least a generation, maybe two. And women’s lib was one of them.

You’ve cited this Harris poll over and over with no link so I finally hunted it down. You’ve characterized it over and over as “support for Israel” over “support for Palestinians”
But that isn’t what the poll asked
https://www.timesofisrael.com/21-of-american-voters-back-hamas-over-israel-poll/
The poll asked if Americans supported Hamas over Israel. Of course its 21%. Its an absolute bullshit t poll designed to demonize Palestinians.
So is it your belief that every Palestinian man, woman and child is Hamas? Is that how we’re justifying killing 55,000 civilians today? Designating them all as members of a terrorist group?
Trump is deporting the students for protesting US policy in Gaza. For political speech. If you think it is going to stop at deporting people whose political views you disagree with you are kidding yourself.
BJ commenters really need to get back to linking. I shouldn’t have to hunt down a link for every claim made here against perceived enemies, like students protesting US promotion and funding of war crimes and ethnic cleansing.

@glory b:
“the fault of Palestinians not Israelis”
Poll says nothing like that. If your belief is all Palestinians are terrorists, say that. That’s your belief, not the belief of the people polled. Stop attributing that view to “80% of Americans” based on this poll you never link to, but instead misrepresent over and over.
Incidentally, Richie Torres is in the WSJ trashing the Democratic Party, promoting private school vouchers, and threatening to primary Hochul unless she adopts his Right wing views. He also slams AOC, just some gratuitous punching Left for his fans.
I await your condemnation of this Right wing Democrat for disloyalty to the Party. Ill be waiting a long time. Only Left leaning Democrats are disloyal – Right wing Democrats, who trash the party constantly and primary the Left, are somehow exempted from the loyalty police enforcement
The students were protesting war crimes. If you want to address their argument and insist killing 55,000 civilians, completely destroying an area where two million people live, then deliberately starving them is NOT war crimes then you’ll be arguing against just about every human rights and law of war expert in the world, so good luck. But at least address the merits instead of smearing students.
The students were right. Every allegation they made regarding war crimes has been included in war crimes charges by two separate international courts. The only defense offered so far has been “you love terrorists!” Thats not a defense. Its a smear and it doesn’t address the allegations detailed in the criminal charges.
Kay
I’m amused that Kathy Hochul is now far Left, according to Right wing Democrat Richie Torres who is apparently launching his primary bid against Hochul by shitting on Democrats in the WSJ.
What does he think is far Right? Supporting public schools instead of his position, which is public funding of private schools?

@Geminid:
Super interesting he takes aim at two popular, powerful female Democrats in the WSJ, where Democrats are unlikely to see it.
Hes pitching Right wing monied donors. His Democrat bashing is a fund raising tactic. It’ll work too. I’d donate to him if I were a Republican. He bashes everyone to the Left of his Right wing positions, while not laying a glove on Republicans. He’s a good investment for them.
Geminid
@Kay: We’ll see if Torres backs up his big talk. I think that in the end Torres will stay put. That is, unless he has decided he wants out of elective politics which he may have done.
If Torres sticks to his current job, he will likely face a primary challenge next year from former Rep. Jamaal Bowman. The sparks would fly in that one.
I get a kick out of New York Democratic politics. They’re very different from Virginia’s. Down here, it’s like some interfaith coalition of Episcopalians, Black Baptists, Reform Jews, and Unitarians. Up there, it’s like the Hatfields and the McCoys.
They have better political coverage in New York, though. Besides traditional sites like newspapers, radio and TV stations, newer sites like City and State Magazine, Gothamist and Lohud have a lot of political coverage
