I live in this district and have known Jay Obernolte for over 20 years. He was a moderate when serving as mayor and in the state assembly. He was a good man and truly cared about the people he represented. Over the last year, he has gone full MAGA. It is sad to see a person sell out.

“Congressman Jay Obernolte spoke to a crowd that erupted in boos and chants like ‘No Kings’ Saturday morning in the community center.”

I feel like I spend way too much of my time doing this.

People keep saying the US is like 1930s Germany, but I think it is more like 2008 Russia. This is when Putin wormed his way into power for life. Putin has been working on taking over the US ever since then and is finally succeeding.

PSA, if the owner of the company where you work is selling, start looking for a new job.

I wonder if we could convince Denmark to trade Greenland for California. As a proud California resident, I would much prefer to be Danish. I would feel bad for the people of Greenland, but at least we would have good health care.

Chiefs are playing so bad, even the refs can't save them. #superbowl

If Rodgers is following Favre, he would go to the Vikings, but since they already have 2 QBs, that won't happen. What about Chicago, since he already "owns" them.

@katieporteroc.bsky.social knows the score: 50 years of #EITC and 10 years of #CalEITC, #YCTC, & #FYTC have put billions into the pockets of families, workers, & foster youth. As we mark these anniversaries, let’s recommit to investing in working families.

No single raindrop is responsible for the flood. I keep reminding myself that together, we can make a difference.

@dailykos.com What will it take to get Daily Kos to ban Xitter links? If Reddit and other more middle of the road platforms are doing it, why would a leftist news source still send money to Musk?

Spent some time talking to a veteran friend who is worried they may get deported because their parents were undocumented. It was interesting to watch the other veterans who were MAGA try to contort themselves to justify supporting Trump.

The NFC was dominated by the North all year. It was always a question of which NFC North team would go to the Super Bowl. I cannot believe all 3 were one and done. #GoPackGo

I think that money could be better used educating people on vaccines. We still have a large number of people afraid of the Covid vaccine.

When I work with my nonprofit leader friends, I am surprised how many are afraid to push back on discrimination and uninformed opinions. We cannot work on a problem without actively working on prevention.

I did not think I would ever agree with this war criminal.

I think Trump wants to make Canada part of the US is because he wants to visit Canada, and as a convicted felon he is not allowed to enter their country.

I live in the mountains above LA. The weather report showed cloudy skies, but I woke up this morning to 6 inches of snow on the ground. Weird weather.

BREAKING: Tim Walz's daughter Hope says that her "red flag" for dating a man is if he listens to Joe Rogan because it means he "probably isn’t a great person" and his "values" won't "align" with hers. This rule has "never failed" her and her friends. Like and share if you love this rule!

The Thanksgiving game an Lambeau was the highlight of my year. 22 degrees with snow flurries made it the coldest game we have attended.

I am really struggling balancing following the news to stay informed and ignoring the news to protect my mental health.

There’s no such thing as working productively with MAGA nihilists like Elon, Vivek and RFK, Jr. They want to bring down our Republic. Don’t normalize them by pointing out a few of their good ideas. You can’t play nice with the leopards. Let them into your house and they will eat your face.

When I look at the US today, I think this is how people must have felt in Iran during the 1970s.

I read all the horror stories about travel, but just had an amazing trip from LA to Green Bay. Every person we met was very nice. Chatting with random strangers and staff was great fun.
