While Trump is busy imposing tariffs on islands inhabited by only penguins and seals, his reckless trade war is hurting our economy and erasing the retirement savings of everyday hardworking Americans. We’re fighting back! The people have chosen their resistance penguin. Now what’s their name?

Had a great visit to Hayward Fire Station #7 with my family to meet the brave firefighters who put their lives on the line every day to keep our community safe. Thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and your unwavering commitment to Hayward!

You don’t have to agree with someone’s views to defend their right to say it. This is what authoritarian regimes do, not us. If this ruling stands, it’s not just the end of a legal case, it’s the end to free speech.

There’s a special place in HELL for anyone who stands before the Supreme Court and argues that a man they wrongfully sent to an El Salvadorian death camp should stay there.

When Trump, Musk, and MAGA extremists try to gut Social Security and slash Medicaid to fund billionaire tax breaks, our seniors say: Hands off! We’re not backing down. We’re just getting started.

While Democrats are fighting to protect hardworking Americans, House Republicans just voted to take away Medicaid from kids, families, seniors, and veterans to give tax breaks to billionaires. We’re not going away.

House Republicans’ so-called “SAVE Act” could prevent nearly 70 million women from registering to vote—simply because they changed their name after getting married. They want to disappear your rights, but we’re not going away.

The SAVE Act, a.k.a the Save the Republicans' Asses Act, is a shameless attempt to block Americans—especially married women—from voting. Requiring birth certificates to cast a ballot? That’s not election security. That’s voter suppression.

Trump says he knows what he’s doing? Bullshit. He destroyed the economy. And then caves once people lose their savings.

The economy is crashing. Americans are watching their 401Ks turn into 201Ks. Grocery prices are through the roof. And what’s Donald Trump doing? Golfing. Mr. President, get your ass off the golf course and face the people! #Handsoff

The economy is crashing and the President is fucking golfing. He's hitting balls and I'm taking calls. This isn’t “America First.” It's Trump first. So, Mr. President, get your ass off the golf course and fix this.

When you slap tariffs on Canada, one of our closest allies, Americans pay the price. Fewer exports. Fewer jobs. Higher prices. All for what? Chaos. To our Canadian friends: I’m sorry. To Americans: Don’t accept this as normal. We deserve better.
