We need to pass the One Subject at a Time Act (OSTA). Otherwise, it's nearly impossible to vote with integrity. Every bill that makes progress on a popular issue is poisoned with a cost exacted by special interest provisions.

Los Angeles county has a larger population than 40 states. California is absolutely being cheated on representation while low-population states are over represented, in the Senate for example. Let me say that again: LOS ANGELES HAS A LARGER POPULATION THAN 40 STATES.

For example: We see this when a demand for food security is met with: 'Why don't you just work more (or donate more)?' It's a response to redirect the focus inward instead of towards the potent policies that allow hunger to persist.

Is there a more pervasive obstacle to progress than the Martyrdom Trap? When opponents dig into the level of your commitment, they aren't seeking truth; they are shifting the lens from the system to the individual. They know that an individual is powerless without a system of support.

Since 2015, NH Republicans cut taxes for corporations and wealthy investors by as much as $1.45 billion. In that same period, YOUR property taxes went up $1.52 billion. The NHGOP isn’t cutting taxes, they’re just shifting the burden from the state to your town.

I'm seeing quite the opposite, Gorden. Housing costs are a disproportionate strain, and a tax system that relies solely on property tax exacerbates that, especially when there's no deduction for property that serves as a primary residence. But, I'm open to seeing data to change my mind.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.
The Gravamen of the Disclosure

4. The gravamen of the disclosure is as follows: 
a. By memorandum dated May 12, 2025 (“the May 12 Memo”), Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons authorizes ICE agents to forcibly enter into certain people’s homes without a judicial warrant, consent, or an emergency.

b. Specifically, in the May 12 Memo, the Acting ICE Director authorized ICE Agents to rely on Form I-205 (which is not a judicial warrant) to enter the residence of an alien subject to a final order of deportation, without consent, including by “a necessary and reasonable amount of force.”2c. While addressed to “All ICE Personnel,” in practice the May 12 Memo has not been formally distributed to all personnel. Instead, the May 12 Memo has been provided to select DHS officials who are then directed to verbally brief the new policy for action. Those supervisors then show the Memo to some employees, like our clients, and direct them to read the Memo and return it to the supervisor.

When federal agents grab people off the street without clear warrants, refuse identification, and disappear them into unmarked vehicles, the word “detention” stops fitting. That’s fear as policy — and it demands accountability, not spin.
