Retired man in his 60s, middle-class, living in a blue state. Pragmatic, politically independent. Low tolerance for extremists on either side. Long for the days of bipartisanship and compromise.

Let’s talk about something not many people are chatting about and what’s actually happening right now.
You might wonder why Imran Ahmed and the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) suddenly became targets of the U.S. government. The honest answer is that their research hit where it hurt.

Merry Christmas from Odesa 🎄✨
Odessites came out for “Christmas on the Coast of Freedom”—a Christmas procession with traditional stars and carols.
They’re celebrating anyway, even after last night’s Russian drone strike on the Odesa port killed one and injured two civilians.

WOW: The DOJ has DELETED an image from its release of the Epstein files that shows photos of Trump in a drawer.
Yesterday, we noted that this image — file 468 — likely slipped through the cracks while officials were attempting to hide materials pertaining to Trump.
Now, it’s gone.

UPDATE: The criminal charges against Wilmer have been DISMISSED. His record is CLEAR.
Trump's DHS has absolutely no credibility. Federal agents sicced an attack dog on an innocent man, watched as he was mauled, denied him medical care, and lied about it. Shameful.

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

Steve Bannon ripped off his own followers with his ‘build the wall’ scam. Trump pardons him. Then photos come out showing him hanging out with Jeffrey Epstein AFTER he was charged with child trafficking, and yet he somehow has an audience because really MAGA stands for nothing.

UPDATE: Since launching our own methane-tracking satellite earlier this year, California has helped close 10 large methane leaks in our state.
That pollution reduction is roughly the same as taking 18,000 gas-powered cars off the road for an entire year.
