Moderate Democrat but I vote blue.
Behind Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzegar.
They deserve our support. Deeply religious but a firm believer in the separation of Church and State.

Californians deserve unwavering support to recover and rebuild from devastating wildfires.
I'm issuing a State of Emergency proclamation to help Mono County families and businesses get back on their feet after the #PackFire.
California will stand with you every step of the way.

I've loved Sigourney Weaver ever since one of my all-time favorite movies, ALIEN. Couldn't resist going all fanboy on her yesterday & asking for a photo. She told me she's now in the cast of The Mandalorian. Talk about bad timing: she's now in that galaxy far, far away, years after I checked out! 💔

Wow. Trump personally intervened to block more than 4,100 Jan. 6 documents records that injured police officers had subpoenaed as part of their lawsuit after being violently attacked by MAGA rioters. The Department of Justice confirmed in a new court filing that Trump invoked

True threats will always be prosecuted and this time, these are state charges that cannot be pardoned. These pardons didn’t teach them anything, only that they don’t have to be accountable for their actions.
NY man, pardoned for Jan. 6 riot, charged with threatening to kill Hakeem Jeffries
A New York man whose conviction for storming the U.S. Capitol was erased by President Donald Trump’s mass pardons has been arrested on a charge that he threatened to kill House Minority Leader Hakeem ...

Trump: AOC is low IQ. If you give her an IQ test, have her pass like the exams that I decided to take when I was at Walter Reed. Those are very hard…

Across social media (TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook) you might notice a new trend: posts that include the word “protest” are often suppressed by platform algorithms.

Brett Meiselas: I’m against gerrymandering, but that doesn’t mean we unilaterally disarm. Governors like Newsom and Hochul are right to fight back. Democrats tried to ban partisan gerrymandering in the Freedom to Vote Act, which also included voter ID—but not one Republican voted for it.

It's insane that Piers would take the position that the president can use his power to dictate what his critics can or cannot say on television. If Colbert wants to be anti-Trump, it's a free country (to Trump's dismay). Imposing mandatory neutrality comes when your ideas can't win out on their own.
