The terrible CR Budget bill — written by right-wing House Republicans with no input from anybody but themselves — was passed tonight with the support of 10 Democrats.
 
An absolute failure of Democratic leadership. NOBODY in the Senate should have voted for this dangerous bill.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.

We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

They own what happens next.

This is tragic in every way imaginable.

I absolutely love this idea.

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do.

Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

Happy February! I hope that you are enjoying some much-needed rain to start off the month. I sent out my monthly newsletter this morning - check it out at the link below! This month, I talk about wildfire preparedness efforts, upcoming votes on developments, and more!

“This is exactly the work we set out to do,” Paul Dans, who oversaw Project 2025 at the conservative Heritage Foundation, told CNN.

Every journalist that ran with Trump's denials about Project 2025, that indulged them, that pretended it was a liberal conspiracy.... should hang their heads in shame.

This is not normal, or natural, or inevitable. youtu.be/ZfBkw0j-QIs?...

Happy New Year! I hope that you had a joyful time ringing in 2025! No matter how you welcomed 2025, I wish for this year to bring you fulfillment and everything you aspire to achieve.

"Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil."

In Iceland, on Christmas Eve, people give each other books so they can spend the evening drinking cocoa & reading. It’s called, Jolabokaflod, the Christmas book flood. I’ve never been more in love with Iceland than I am right now ♥️♥️

I heard this is a good place to talk about taxing the rich, breaking up big tech, and ending Washington corruption.

I'm glad Pete Hegseth has pledged not to drink if he is confirmed as Defense Secretary. So, I guess he can still sexually harass women, mismanage funds, discriminate against women service members, push for a Christian Nationalist agenda, and be a virulent Islamaphobe?

Super duper.

People are leaving Twitter because it’s not fun anymore and no one is obligated to be on a platform they don’t enjoy.

It’s not rocket science.

Happy Holidays! I just sent out my monthly newsletter for December.

I included a “Holiday Events” section, a “Los Gatos Holiday Shopping Guide,” and shared details about the Young Leader’s Group that I’m starting.

I’m still figuring this app out, but anything is better than Twitter!

"People who like cat pictures are just looking at the cat feed."

This statement by Bluesky's CEO Jay Graber on CNN is EVERYTHING.
