Time for California to withhold federal taxes. Good luck with funding your billionaire giveaway without tax funds from the 4th largest economy on the planet. Take that money, provide all the services statewide that the federal government refuses to provide now.

I hope you'll listen to Rachel as she shares her son’s story.   Nate is a disabled adult who relies on Medicaid. Medicaid makes Nate's life & dreams possible—it means freedom. Cuts to Medicaid eliminate those freedoms.   Help share Nate's story & join me in saying: NO CUTS TO MEDICAID.

📌Ukraine just knocked out a third of Russia’s bomber fleet — the country which attacked us — and I STILL haven’t heard Trump or his cult say a good thing about it. As an American and a vet, I find this repulsive.

Maybe its time for Democratic voters to tell the corporate DNC to FUCK OFF. They neutered this man, and Kamala, turned them both into boring, Corporate candidate, and we lost to a fucking buffoon and fascist. Time to wake the fuck up and time to fight.
