Today we're discussing Ro Khanna, Democratic representative from Silicon Valley--the wealthiest district in the United States at $14 trillion--who is clearly planning a 2028 presidential run as he tries to court fascist Elon Musk back to the Democratic party.
Khanna impressed the older guys on the Sacramento Bee editorial board a few months back when he strutted into their offices unannounced to just, you know, shoot the shit about his Twitter spats with Musk (who called him a dick) and Vice President J.D. Vance (who tweeted "You disgust me" to Khanna--same, girl).
Now, we learn (also from the head of the Bee's editorial board) that Khanna's eyeing a run for the White House.
Oh, we also start the episode with some grumbling over the Democratic establishment's "Abundance" push, and former genocide propagandist Karine Jean-Pierre's cynical move from the Democratic Party to "independent."
