Ash Kalra pulled his own bill from the vote last year, because even a democratic super majority in California was not going to pass it. Pretty despicable and get a reminder that our government treats us like something on the bottom of a shoe.

Reminder: Nancy Pelosi had a four-seat majority during her second stint as speaker meaning that Squad members like AOC could have held up passage of anything in exchange for any of the campaign promises they made on the trail.

What did they demand? Nothing. Bupkus.

This move is primarily aimed to hurt Barbara Lee who is behind by a lot and could have gotten a boost from incumbency. it also rewards a fundraiser in Butler and "keeps" his promise to appoint a black woman but in the most disingenuous way possible.
