Globalist. I prefer games, comics, books, movies and sports but was drafted into the resistance when we somehow elected a Russian-backed felon insurrectionist.

In his first day in office, Trump pardoned nearly 1,600 people in the Jan. 6th Capitol riot. Five years later, most of the officers injured that day have never widely shared their experience.

None of the pardoned insurrectionists who attacked our Capitol and undermined our democracy deserve a taxpayer-funded handout.

January 6, 2021 was the most shameful day in American history. It should live in infamy, as should the traitor who refused to accept the election results and incited the attack on the U.S. Capitol — Donald J. Trump.

Did you know the plaque honoring the Capitol Police had been taken down, even though a law was passed to always have it on display? Well, it's on display again outside my Rep Sam Liccardo's office! The other photo is the Dem Reps remembering Jan 6 today in DC.
