Is it time to explore a split? So, what do we Californians get out of this relationship?

@padilla.senate.gov Please fight for us! Vote no on the Republican spending bill. They're destroying everything already. Capitulation will only embolden to keep going.

If Democrats are going to go tonight, then they should all wear the same shirt that Zelensky wears to show our support for Ukraine and to show we are at war for our democracy

Why didn't the Democrats use the four years we had to bolster our systems to withstand these attacks? Knowing Trump dismantled all norms, why didn't we make those norms into clear laws? I am truly asking. How did our representatives live us so vulnerable?
