I’ve been tapped to represent Democrats on the new DOGE committee chaired by Marjorie Taylor Greene. Let’s be clear: this committee is designed to destroy federal agencies and the social safety net so that Elon Musk and his billionaire friends can enrich themselves. They ain’t ready for us.
I will not back down from supporting migrants who are suffering, trans people who deserve basic human rights, workers who want to form a union, women who need abortion care, and our seniors who deserve their social security benefits. Never backing down.
On the last night of the Biden Presidency, I want to thank him and Vice President Harris for their immense work on behalf of our nation. They are patriots who love our country and our people. God Bless them both.
When Donald Trump says he wants to dismantle the deep state he means firing federal employees and civil servants, and then taking those jobs and outsourcing them to his tech billionaire buddies.
Later today House Republicans will bring up a bill designed to hurt trans youth and athletes and ban them from playing sports in schools. The real effect beyond that cruelty is it would allow gender checks on young girls and athletes. This is sick and shameful and I will be strongly voting NO.
People are dying and losing everything. Our priority should not be raising the debt ceiling so billionaires get more tax cuts. Whether it's wildfires in CA, or hurricanes and tornadoes in Louisiana, we should should never condition aid to disaster victims.
There’s been a solid migration of reporters towards bluesky - but it’s not at critical mass yet. X continues to be full of misinformation and yet all of the national press is still there and active. I’m hoping the shift continues. These emergencies need reliable coverage.
People are dying. Thousands of homes have been lost. Firefighters and frontline workers are risking thier lives and we are in an active emergency in our state and region. This is disgraceful by Speaker Johnson and he should apologize.
So glad to be home from Washington DC, but just devestated by the destruction that is happening across the region. My thoughts are with our heroic first responders and those that have lost their homes . We will beat back these fires and get folks the help they need.
Proud of our local firefighters who are battling the fires across LA County. I know many of these men and women personally, and they are true heroes. A huge thank you to them and all the first responders helping save lives and homes.
