Republicans control Congress & the presidency now so nothing is stopping them from offering $5000 checks NOW. This is blatant attempted at illegal bribery for votes — attempt too cos they’re banking you’re stupid even to believe they’d even actually follow thru

The wealth of the richest 0.1 percent of Americans has more than doubled since 2019. If that doesn't convince you we need a wealth tax, renowned economist Gabriel Zucman will. Watch.

AI billionaires call for “AI regulation” knowing full well their bought right wing politicians & lobbyists will do everything to stop regulation. These corporations have ability to regulate themselves. Just nice PR for the architects of AI fueled human extinction www.reuters.com/legal/litiga...

My statement on the Governor’s disappointing veto of #AB1729
Assemblymember Alex Lee's Statement on the Governor's Veto of AB 1729

Telework directly benefits the public by saving taxpayer dollars and state resources.
It is a proven tool for recruiting and retaining our workforce, while maintaining state workers' productivity.
AB 1729 was a bipartisan bill that passed the Legislature with a supermajority of votes.
The bill supports state employees, who are the backbone of our government, by recognizing telework as a key part of the modern work environment.
While I'm disappointed with the bill's outcome, I'll continue doing everything possible to empower our state workers

As ICE rapidly expands its detention system, the bill will ensure transparency and give communities a real, meaningful voice before local governments approve any new immigrant camps
