Got my Medicare $90! And sending it straight to ActBlue! I encourage all Dems getting their 90 to donate to a close race.

Last night, I made a Tik Tok quoting what our President said he wanted to happen to Los Angeles and San Diego. And my video got removed because it “violated community guidelines”. Let me repeat. My video got removed because I quoted what the President said.

To say he acts like a mob boss is an insult to mob bosses.

Quick reminder: Trump isn't running an administration. He is running a crime syndicate with worse hair and less competence.

I spent 25 years writing sitcoms here in Hollywood. In my personal experience, the decent people are mostly “below the line.” With a smattering of above and a few great execs. I write mysteries now. So far I’ve killed off four writers I worked with in my books because I hated them so much.

CEO pay is up 1,316% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 28%. CEOs are now paid 325 TIMES as much as the typical worker in their industry, according to @epi.org Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

They kicked the can down the road. Kavanaugh basically said he'd support it but not this close to an election. We are SO not out of the woods.

This was chilling. Yesterday I saw a bumper sticker on a white Mercedes SUV that read “I’d rather be an American than a democracy.” WTAF?!

What’s scary is Kavanaugh left the door open for future Trump interference.

Want to take bets on how little attention this gets from the media? The National news didn’t even mention Trump’s pledge to cheat Donald Trump Jr.’s Bahamas wedding was secretly bankrolled by a Russian oligarch close to Putin - ProPublica

"Fun fact"
Since Roe v Wade was overturned, more women have been prosecuted for miscarriages than men for being in the Epstein files.

Please do a BREAKING post about the Mayor of Los Angeles, and how much crime has decreased since she took office. LA recently reported historic drops in violent crime, including decreases tied to community safety initiatives like the Office of the @mayor.lacity.gov Summer Night Lights program
Mayor Karen Bass • Jul 3 •
•••
Those long, summer nights can be times of trouble, but by providing positive activities for families and young people and activating our parks at night, Summer Night Lights is proven to increase public safety - and it's a way for people to have a lot of fun, too.

A 27% DROP
in homicides in neighborhoods most impacted by violence, referred to as Gang Reduction and Youth Development (GRYD) zones across the city. This coincided with a 19% citywide drop in homicides, the lowest on record in 60 years for the City of Los Angeles.
