Hey, Santa Rosa City Schools! I just heard that you intend to pay 6.8 million dollars to get portables put in at other elementary schools so you can send hundreds of underprivileged kids from a school with actual classrooms to over-crowded schools that can’t fit them.

For one of my first bills, I worked across the aisle with Senator Olympia Snowe to require reporting of greenhouse gas emissions. The Trump administration’s plan to end it takes us backward in the fight against climate change.

It has nothing to do with antisemitism.
That’s a cover—for whatever the heck they want to do.
And using Jews as a partisan ploy? THAT’S antisemitic.
