I attended a Town Hall with Congressman Eric Swalwell at the Doubletree by Hilton San Jose. This was the congressman’s kickoff for his 2026 gubernatorial race. He spoke about writing California’s comeback story by lowering the cost of home ownership, deploying solar statewide and other issues.

A new report shows Trump's tariffs are crushing holiday budgets. Trees up 20%, gifts up 26%, Americans going into record debt - but sure, 'affordability is a hoax' 🙄 Read the full report at the link in the first comment.

The Fix Our Forests Act (FOFA) is a necessary and urgent bipartisan solution designed to address the catastrophic increase in wildfire risk and protect lives, property, and ecosystems across the country. It gives forestry experts tools to reduce severe fire events, mitigating climate-driven risks.

Anyone advocating for net zero by 2050 is part of the problem. Anyone advocating for net zero by 2040 is part of the problem. If you don’t realise yet that the entire economy will be destroyed unless we cut fossil fuel use immediately you are part of the problem.

Donald Trump doesn’t want solutions—he wants chaos. Deploying the National Guard without state or local request is about drawing a foul, not restoring order. Peaceful protestors should flood the streets with American flags, not give him the violence he craves.
