Republicans defend every corruption scandal with the same shrug: "Nothing to see here." A president making billions while prices rise. A cabinet cashing in. A party shielding it all. Nothing to see, nothing to fix, nothing for you. #CostOfCorruption

Trump thinks he’s the second coming of Teddy Roosevelt. What a joke. TR protected 230,000,000 acres for the public forever. Meanwhile, Trump wants to hand a corner of Yosemite to a buddy of his to build who knows what. You can’t make this stuff up.

This is absolutely terrible! Not only is this just a violation of people’s rights that are participating in a representative democracy - but there are DIRECT health impacts that we all face because of quickly built and poorly operated data centers! Leaders are calling for a moratorium!

Speaker Johnson frames reconciliation as debt reduction. It cuts taxes for the wealthy and slashes healthcare for everyone else. That's not debt reduction. That's redistribution. #FundHealthcareNotWars

Distrust in institutions is now at an all time high & California is in trouble: We either have a race with two MAGA, a race with a billionaire & demoralised voters, or a race with a candidate that MANY powerful orgs endorsed against. & the party refuses the Catharsis needed to heal and build trust.

This has been the most frustrating year of my service in Congress, and it isn’t close. Mike Johnson is the weakest Speaker in the history of the House. He has turned the people’s branch into a rubber stamp.

What’s worse than a ‘do-nothing’ Congress? This one.
Even as Donald Trump usurps legislative authority, Republicans in Congress have said little and done less.

Schiff is a CA senator. He seems AWARE of the terrible harms these "A.i." companies are inflicting on us, and he's taking stabs at addressing them. But he's still pushing "A.i." into schools and seems to me to be pulling his punches with these (mostly CA-based) "A.i." billionaires.

I fear I am becoming a “process focused” person over an “outcome focused” person mostly because the outcomes are so shortsighted. “Winning an election” - isn’t enough if we don’t build trust in or democracy and strengthen unions, organizations and our communities in the process.

If you want dems to hold people accountable you need to call their offices, go to the the fundraisers and rallies and bird dog them to hold Trump and his admin accountable. Priorities aren’t magical, they’re the result of constant pressure.

A federal judge ruled Trump’s attack on NPR and PBS unconstitutional. The First Amendment is clear: the government can't cut funding to a news organization simply because it dislikes their coverage. That is textbook viewpoint discrimination. The court called it out. But here is the hard truth.
