Has anyone else noticed that the overreaction/diversion in LA is happening at the same that they are trying to ram through the “big beautiful bill”?

Who is going to take a satellite photo of Los Angeles and draw a tiny circle around where the “insurrection” took place?

The same people in DC who got us into this mess are not going to be the ones to get us out of it. Today I'm announcing my campaign for U.S. Senate. Because we don't have a minute to wait.

Tomorrow, the United States Senate will be voting on the rhyming equivalent of the 1933 Enabling Act. I dearly hope they do not follow that dark path.

Poison Pills hidden inside the Republican CR require several departments to cut billions of dollars from their budgets. Coincidentally the budget cuts will demand the same amount it takes to fund social security Medicare and Medicaid.m Did Schumer even read the fine print?

@alexpadilla4ca.bsky.social I hope you join arms with @schiff.senate.gov and vote no on the cloture motion and the CR. The people of California are watching.

What the hell sense does this make? “Let’s give in to bully who is beating us up, so that, maybe, he’ll stop beating us up.”

Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933. I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.

Every single Democrat who voted to censor Al Greene should be primaried. He is one of your own and you should be ashamed. Mr. Jeffries get your house in order.

Just a reminder that the "don't buy stuff" action for tomorrow Fri 2/28 refers to corporations. Feel free to celebrate the day by shopping at your local indie bookstore and/or other small local shops. They will appreciate your business! #Booksky #ShopLocal #IndieBookstores
