Following extreme backlash from the entire country including the MAGA base, Pete Hegseth is now claiming he did not announce a Qatari air base in Idaho. Even though 24 hours before with much fanfare Whiskey Pete literally announced a Qatari air force base in Idaho. What a drunken fool. #ProudBlue

Wow big men … only took five of you and four vehicles to “save” Merica from the that 15 year old female child.

What did that cost? In humanity? In dignity? In actual dollars to roll out the “big” show of force? Is that so you “officers” wouldn’t get your feelings hurt?

Pathetic and disgusting.

And don’t forget your American flags!

My advice:

EVERYONE should bring as many American flags as possible to the No Kings protests on October 18th.

Blanket every rally from coast-to-coast in red, white and blue.

Take the flag back from the party of a wannabe-dictator and his sycophants, and never let it go.

Today, I signed a series of bills that close gaps in maternal and prenatal care, improve health outcomes and access to child care resources, and protect vulnerable women.

Women in California deserve the services and resources they need to live full, self-determined lives.

Simple messaging I recommend you share and text friends, family, and neighbors.

These are the lines Democrats need to be using.

Trump went for a Covid shot and then set the CDC on fire.

If that ain’t that asshole in a nutshell.

On this day in 1991 Anita Hill accused Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment. Few believed her claims then, not enough people believed Hillary Clinton in 2016 and too few listened to Kamala Harris in 2024. See a pattern? Believe women, burn the patriarchy.

Federal employees across the government are now receiving layoff notices, a devastating outcome of Trump’s political games. It’s outrageous that he would use people’s livelihoods as pawns to “score political points”.
