Trump is making trade policy based on whether a TV ad gets under his skin. Meanwhile, the House is indefinitely shut down — Congress incapacitated — & Trump is ordering extrajudicial assassinations in the Caribbean & elsewhere.

All to distract from inflation & the Epstein Files.

Surprise, surprise — Exxon doesn’t want to disclose its carbon emissions as required by a climate action law I authored, SB 253. Exxon is making an extreme, dangerous free speech argument that would cast doubt on SEC disclosure requirements.

They’re scared they won’t be able to greenwash anymore.

I’m proud of the thousands of affordable homes that have been built in San Francisco and across the state under my housing laws. Each home we build means more opportunity for people to afford to live here, and fewer people at risk of homelessness.

People in America so much ignorant of other cultures. Calling an elderly woman, such as a friend of your family, aunt is a norm.

i cannot believe that “mamdani calls a close adult relative an ‘aunt’ even if they are not literally their parent’s sister” is what counts as a “scandal” these days

He tried , but being a slave by nature like all who served the Kremlin, he was too coward to finish his final mission in June 2023 although he had good chances.

President Ronald Reagan recorded at least 4 video / radio addresses during his period in office, all harshly against import duties (aka Tariffs).
He called upon people to call them "instead of 'protectionist' it must be called destructionist".
