He mentions "Low IQ" people like Rep. Jasmine Crockett and AOC because they're intelligent, women of color who are openly critical of his dogshit presidency.

Never mind that his dementia-riddled brain is like the egg in the frying pan in the "This is your brain on drugs" commercial from the 80s.

Time to start expanding public transit!

Senator Scott Wiener @scottwiener.bsky.social · 6h

MAJOR NEWS: @GavinNewsom signed SB 79, my bill allowing more housing near public transit — rail, subway, rapid bus.

It’s a huge step for housing in California. It’ll create more homes, strengthen our transit systems & reduce traffic & carbon emissions.

Thank you, Governor!

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."

One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."

Today is World Mental Health Day. A reminder that it's okay to not be okay and it's more than okay to ask for help.
Let’s keep breaking the stigma, checking in on each other, and making space for rest, healing, and support. 💚
