Dave Min @daveminca.bsky.social · 2hCalifornia, ballots are officially on the way! Don’t wait until Election Day. Vote early, return your ballot, and then track it to make sure it was received and accepted. There’s too much at stake to sit this one out. Make your plan, make your voice heard, and make sure your vote counts. 1188

Dave Min @daveminca.bsky.social · 8hEvery American deserves the chance to retire with dignity and security after a lifetime of hard work. That means knowing the Social Security and Medicare you paid into will be there when you need them and never having to choose between health care and putting food on the table. 190

Grateful to UAW, CWA, and everyone who came out despite the heat to knock doors and connect with neighbors. THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE. Just over a month to go. LFG! 1165
Dave Min @daveminca.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Dear Pete Hegseth, Maybe you should figure out how to end your illegal war in Iran, which you are losing, before you criticize our troops? Until you took over, our military was the most lethal and effective in world history. Good job asshole. Worst SecDef ever. And a (alleged) rapist. 0111
Dave Min @daveminca.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Still waiting on the feast Mike Johnson promised. Instead, we've been in session only 72 days this year, completing our run as the least productive Congress ever.
