| The noise was loud enough for him to drop out. |
California now becomes toss up.
Midway Wrap Up in May.
Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) is retiring from Congress and suspending his bid for governor.
Remember, Swalwell said he will not take AIPAC money. Guess what happens next?
The Democratic Party is the weak opposition to the Republican Party. The Republicans are knee deep in fascism. They will literally destroy the world if they can protect the status quo.
Keep white men in power. Continue going to war on behalf of Israel. Keep billionaires richer while the working class dies on the assembly line. Let America continue to take away freedoms from the vulnerable to protect the elite.
Yeah, vote blue no matter who....
And sure enough we will get Elissa Slotkin, Josh Gottheimer, John Fetterman, Ritchie Torres, Jared Moskowitz, Greg Landsman, Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Henry Cuellar.
Yeah, we will have Nancy Pelosi call protesters paid members of the Chinese Communist Party.
Or Hakeem Jeffries explain things with his hands while throwing out a strongly worded letter.
Maybe Cory Booker can do another 25 hour filibuster and then take pictures witn Benjamin Netanyahu.
Hell, let Raphael Warnock tell us that Martin Luther King, Jr. stood for radical change while voting to keep funding Israel as it is conducting a genocide in Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon.
Hey, Chuck Schumer said his mission is to keep the Democratic Party committed to the protection of our greatest ally Israel.
Oh, Bernie Sanders wants to stop funding Netanyahu. He will still fund Israel though.
Even Analilia Mejia will change her tune when J Street pours a stack into a closely watched campaign race.
Consenting adults having sex whether they're married, having an affair, engaging in a relationship of the opposite sex, engaging in a relationship of the same sex, engaging in a relationship with transgender Americans, engaging in a relationship with adult content creators, engaging in a relationship with prostitutes or escorts is not my business.
Having sex with anyone who intoxicated is a huge risk. Many inebriated people make decisions that cause cognitive issues. If a woman or man is drunk and has sex with a random stranger or the victims is too drunk to make decisions, many see it as sexual assault under the guise of consent. People who engage with drunk people often take a risk of an allegation of sexual abuse, theft or murder.
It is best to allow the drunk person to detoxify by letting them sleep in their filth. Bars and restaurants have the legal obligation to not allow drinks to people ininebriated.
If you leave your drink unattended, make sure you throw it away.
Again, heresy not an indictment or conviction.
A bunch of wussy ass punks. Swalwell should no longer talk to these assholes.
I am suspending my campaign for Governor.
— Eric Swalwell (@ericswalwell) April 13, 2026
To my family, staff, friends, and supporters, I am deeply sorry for mistakes in judgment I’ve made in my past.
I will fight the serious, false allegations that have been made — but that’s my fight, not a campaign’s.
Swalwell posted on X about an hour into this post.
“I will fight the serious, false allegations that have been made — but that’s my fight, not a campaign’s,” Swalwell said in a social media post.
His announcement came as Democrats quickly abandoned him after the allegations were published Friday in the San Francisco Chronicle and later CNN that he had sexually assaulted a woman twice, including when she worked for him.
There are no friends in Congress. Just colleagues. Acquaintances. A bunch of people who write bills to make life worse for Americans. The Congress barely does its job to write bills pass legislation and do what's best for the country.
They rather worry about personal business than the government's business.
Like the roads are seriously crumbling and we are facing extreme weather. But let's worry about some lawmaker's sex life.
We got the fucking President of the United States starting World War III and protecting his pedophile buddies. He is a fucking felon and sexual predator.
Democrats would abandon a candidate over allegations and people who are controversial. Republicans elect them.

| Pardon us. We going to more trouble. |
Cancel culture will depress Democrats momentum.
Continued support of Israel will eventually led Democratic leaning voters to third party and independent candidates. Thus in six months, the Democrats will see a lackluster turnout.
Polls do not determine outcomes. It is the voter. Both Republican and Democrat lawmakers are completely out of touch. We are coming to a point where political violence is imminent. Someone who is gassed up will start harming politicians or themselves.r
It's a coming.
A growing number of Democrats urged the congressman both to quit the race and resign his seat in Congress. His statement made no mention of resigning from Congress. The allegations came as Swalwell became a leading contender in the race for California governor to replace outgoing Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom.
Over the weekend, with Swalwell’s gubernatorial campaign already teetering, Democrats in Congress began to call for his resignation from the House. Some even said they would support the rare step of expelling him should he refuse to step aside.
Fellow California Reps. Jared Huffman, Ro Khanna and Sam Liccardo said Swalwell should resign, as did Reps. Teresa Leger Fernández of New Mexico and Pramila Jayapal of Washington state.
“This is not a partisan issue,” Jayapal said Sunday. “This cuts across party lines. And it is depravity of the way that women have been treated.”
Swalwell’s gubernatorial campaign did not immediately respond to an email from The Associated Press seeking comment.
It all added to the mounting political pressure on Swalwell, who has already seen his most prominent supporters, including Sen. Adam Schiff and powerful labor unions, pull their endorsements and call for his exit from the race. Rep. Jimmy Gomez, D-Calif., who helped run Swalwell’s campaign, said he was immediately ending his role.
With the House returning to session Tuesday, the question of whether to expel Swalwell could come to a head quickly. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., said Saturday that she would be filing a motion to start the process.
Yeah, this cocaine sniffing Luna. Takes pictures with Trump. She is aware that 15 members of her Republican conference are sexual predators, adulterers and deviants.
This bitch lied about her past. So miss me with that bullshit.
Expulsion votes in the House are rare and require a two-thirds majority, but there is recent precedent for taking the step. Republican George Santos of New York in 2023 became just the sixth member in House history to be ousted by colleagues for his conduct.
Huffman, Jayapal and Leger Fernández said they would vote to expel Swalwell from the House, though they said they also support expelling Rep. Tony Gonzales, R-Texas, who admitted to an affair with a former staff member who later died by suicide.
Republican Rep. Byron Donalds of Florida, who is running his own campaign for governor, said both Swalwell and Gonzales “need to go home” and that he would vote to expel them both.
Khanna also indicated support for congressional action against both lawmakers.
“So, it depends on if it’s worded in a fair way,” Khanna said. “But this shouldn’t be about politics. Anyone who abuses young girls and staffers should not be in the United States Congress.”
The San Francisco Chronicle reported Friday about allegations that Swalwell sexually assaulted a woman in 2019 and 2024. The woman said she did not go to police at the time of the assaults because she was afraid she would not be believed.
The woman worked for Swalwell when the first alleged assault occurred in 2019, while the 2024 assault allegedly occurred at a charity gala, the Chronicle reported. In both cases the woman said she was too intoxicated to consent to sex.
The paper didn’t name the woman, and The Associated Press has not been able to independently verify her account and identity. Her lawyer declined to comment.
The alleged 2024 incident occurred in New York, and the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office said Saturday that it was investigating. That office urged anyone with knowledge to contact its special victims division.
After the allegations surfaced, Swalwell said Friday in a video on social media that he would spend the weekend with family and friends and share an update “very soon.” He is not running for reelection for his House seat.
“These allegations of sexual assault are flat false. They’re absolutely false. They did not happen, they have never happened, and I will fight them with everything that I have,” the congressman said.
Democratic Rep. Nancy Pelosi, the former House speaker who remains a dominant force in California politics, said the “serious allegations” must be investigated. She said she spoke to Swalwell and suggested that be done “outside of a gubernatorial campaign.”
House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York and his leadership team also called for an investigation and for Swalwell to end his campaign for governor.
Jayapal and Donalds appeared on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” and Khanna was interviewed on “Fox News Sunday.”

Withhold your vote.
They don't get it.
Holding these lawmakers accountable is not just a pledge, but a promise. You need to learn who represents your community. Your local community member, your school board member, your mayor, your state representative, your state senator, your governor, your U.S. Representative, your U.S. Senator and the president need to be held accountable for their actions.
Republicans continue to offer extremely unpopular ideas. They will find out the risk of supporters being turned off by their policies.
Former president Joe Biden, former vice president Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party failed at understanding what is more important to the country. President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance and the Republican Party have already failed at understanding as well.
Both parties support of Israel had made some Arab Americans, Muslim and young voters vote against them. Israel has cost Biden a second term and Harris a historical victory.
We got a lot a work to do.
The Republican Party is becoming a bunch of big government nannies who want to push culture wars into federal laws. This overreach will generate backlash due to the hypocrisy they've carried as small government and freedom loving patriots.
First things first, the Democrats must focus on issues that matter to all Americans. The economy for one thing is a big issue. We are witnessing the potential for a catastrophic crash thanks to Trump's war with Iran, these damn tariffs, his fly off the handle policies and this partial government shutdown.
If the Democrats are motivated to talk about how the policies of the past are not working, they better start talking now.
Capitalism isn't prospering for the middle class or the lower class. This trickle down economics is not benefiting the working class. The need to be honest about capitalism being a disaster has to be addressed.
The Democratic Party is still supportive of capitalism which is rooted in white supremacy, economic inequality and greed.
The policies the Republican Party are presenting are status quo. They are becoming the big government nannies they tagged the Democratic Party for years as.
The Republicans worship greed, hate, getting in people's businesses and sexual predatory behavior. If a Democrat has a sex scandal that doesn't involve legal ramifications, fucking ignore the allegations. I am serious. If there is no criminal conviction, it's an allegation.
Ignore the calls to leave but clearly state why you carry baggage. Because if you care about changing the city, district or state you want to represent, your personal problems cannot outweigh the actual problems constituents face.
