Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Part of the problem is the progressive in question is currently running for that seat, and is trailing in the polls. If Newsom had appointed her, it would have seemed like he was putting his thumb on the scales of the election. Butler might be an insider, but she's not running for election. She will finish out this term and step aside.
She advised Uber when it was fighting the law requiring app companies to grant employees normal benefits. That sort of shit flies in the face of any union work she may have done.
She could still choose to run if she wanted. I will not be surprised in the least if she does.
Then don't vote for her if she runs. Frankly I think people like you would have been mad no matter who Newsome appointed
Newsome can suck it. He bailed out PG&E. The lawyers responsible worked for PG&E at one point.
Newsome doesn't give a shit about anything except money, just like every other corporatist politician.
So what if he bailed out PG&E? What was the alternative, let the fucking grid collapse? You'd call him a corporatist no matter what he did. It's just more meaningless anger from a troll.
I'm a troll because I disagree with Newsome's value as a politician? No. My opinion differs from yours. I am presenting points, you're just saying, "so what?"
At least I'm standing with some sort of justification for my position instead of just saying, "whatever, dude."
Unrelenting, blind hatred isn't much of a position, dude
Same, bro. She lives in Maryland! Wtf. Why are defending this? She's not even a California resident.
She's a dual resident. Grow up
Man. That's the dumbest thing I've read all week. People have a primary residence and own secondary homes. Same BS argument was made about Herschel Walker when someone pointed out he was a resident of Texas and not of Georgia.
This blind hoop jumping to feel better is why we're going to lose to Trump. It's the same non-critical reasoning that allows people to think "13 points down in the polls? No problem."
I'm done with this. You win your internet points. You've sufficiently exhausted me.
Yes, it's incredibly stupid to be surprised a professional political lobbyist whose career has been focused on pushing for abortion rights wouldn't have a place to stay on the East Coast
