I retired in September 2016 and the Orange Menace has redirected ALL my retirement plans. The ONLY good has been meeting amazing Democrats who have become dear friends 💙. Now time to start working with candidates for the 2026 midterms!

Passing the Dirty House CR will be Congress’ official abdication of their authority. This bill is not a CR, but a path to chainsaw the Federal infrastructure. A HUGE move towards the authoritarian end. #DirtyCR

I rarely say this, but if your Senate Democrat isn't doing what Chris Coons is doing, you should be calling them and asking why the hell not. It's not enough to EVENTUALLY oppose this bill - we need Senate Dems out there publicly rallying the troops RIGHT NOW.

Any of Congressperson from the other 49 states that doesn't provide unfettered support for California right now is, literally, biting the hand that feeds their state.

The Hegseth hearing is doing one thing incredibly well: it’s establishing that when his leadership at DoD fails, it’ll be clear that GOP Senators knew, excused it, and they own it. Serious concerns about experience & judgment are literally being laughed off.

"California paid in a lot more [to the federal government] than it got back — $83 billion in total. So did Washington state and much of the Northeast. Most red states were in the reverse position, getting much more from DC than they paid in return."

One good way to help those impacted by the wildfires in California is by supporting the work of Josě Andrěs and World Central Kitchen. Chefs for California teams are on the ground right now providing hot meals for first responders and evacuees.
