Weekend ICYMI - Greatest Hits
A look back at some of my favorite posts from last week.
It’s the end of the second full week of Does It Matter? It’s been a lot of fun providing insights and analysis of (mostly) California politics. Since last weekend, I have penned a dozen items. The top six are linked below, in case you missed them. I would encourage you to share Does It Matter? with other people you think would enjoy it!
Before I give you links to this week’s “greatest hits,” I thought I would share a fun video produced by my friend Chris Cillizza (he has a great Substack now called So What, but I got to know him as a “California source” when he was with the Washington Post and CNN. He’s not a conservative or a liberal voice. Just a shot-caller.

Finally, earlier in the week all of the announced Democrats running for Governor (sans the undecided Kamala Harris) went to Sacramento and prostrated themselves in front of union leadership. I don’t have words… Well, actually I do…
Even in just the last week there were also posts on how Dems are using tens of millions of dollars to literally subsidize liberal news rooms, Gavin Newson’s lie that he is cutting spending on Medicaid for illegal aliens, the cluster that is Bay Area pubic transit, and some trouble decisions voted on by the late Supreme Court Justice David Souter. Here’s a link to main page of Does It Matter? if you want to get to those, and more!
