Before I got to congress two years ago I was mayor of my city - so I know using police departments as deportation forces is unconstitutional. We must ensure that cities and congress stand up to Trump.

Donald Trump shouldn’t be trusted. He lies and dehumanizes immigrants and wants to seperate families. We should fight him with everything we got.
I won’t be working with Elon Musk, joining truth social, or holding hands with people that want to destroy the social safety net and harm gay and trans people. We cannot work with authoritarian extremists.
y’all realize that RFK jr is a tin foil hat conspiracy theorist right? Yes, we all want to take on big agriculture and we should, but RFK is a vaccine denier and largely responsible for a deadly measles outbreak in Samoa. He should not be confirmed.
I totally get this, I share the frustration.
we did a ton last congress with Jamie Raskin, investigations, floor debates, media, etc. But we don’t control the majority so we don’t control the agenda or major investigations. But public awareness and continuing bringinging attention to it in congress is critical to the fight to stop it.
Jared Kushner gets $2 billion from Saudi Arabia for his investment fund just months after leaving the White House. Now new reports indicate the Trumps intend to continue business deals with foreign governments. But House GOP lose their minds over emails and Hunter Biden. Insane.
Imagine how many of America’s schools we could fix if we just trimmed 1% of the pentagon budget. We cannot indefinitely grow the military budget year after year with no end in sight.
Trump, Mike Johnson, and the billionaires who want to run our government have no interest in working with Democrats or supporting working people. They want to pillage and redirect wealth into their companies and friends. We should oppose, not work with them.
Abolish the death penalty.
President Biden is furthering justice by commuting the sentences of 1,500 people, and pardoning 39 convicted of non-violent crimes. But we can go further and commute unjust federal death sentences. I’m hopeful this will happen.
Beyond the growth in spending which needs to be redirected - the bill also includes anti-trans/lgbtq health provisions which were not acceptable to me.
I can’t speak for other folks of course, but the trans healthcare piece was also a non starter for me.
Why not both?
This year's defense budget continues out of control wasteful spending rather than investing in American schools and healthcare. Unlike most federal departments, the Pentagon has never been able to pass an audit. We need to reinvest in people, not a larger military. I just voted no.
I don’t do Spotify I’m an Apple Music guy so in case you are interested:
I think this can be true in some cases, but we need every unit of housing possible and ADUs do a great job of adding gentle density to residential neighborhoods that are mostly single family. More housing - of any type is generally good.
More here: lbpost.com/news/long-be...
ADU’s as housing policy has been incredible for the creation of new housing. As mayor of Long Beach before I got to congress, we passed new standards early. Now we are leading ADU construction statewide per capita. There’s still a lot of work to do in ADU policy, but what a win.
