I am hoping that I won't have to work and can go. At this critical juncture, we all must step up our activism.

Can't skip mention of the deplorable closing The Pantry in the face of the workers demanding their rights, but want to celebrate the activists across CA who sought election to Democratic SCC in the ADEMs election. And congratulations to new DNC Associate Chairs Shasti Conrad & Stuart Appelbaum.

Unfortunately, as predicted, House Trumpists showed their true colors yesterday. As noted here, this budget means "higher costs for families, more people without health coverage, increased poverty and hardship, and higher debt — all in service to tax cuts for the wealthy and ... business interests."

The Party of Trump will show its true colors today by voting to gut Medicaid and SNAP and to hurt the very voters who sent them to DC --all in obeisance to Trump and his billionaire backers. Call 202-224-3121 and demand a "no" vote. Accountability begins now. www.politico.com/live-updates...

April 1 will be here before you know it. Winning here and in NY in November would erode the Trumpist majority in the House to almost nothing. Special election timing is tough, but even a good showing here would set the table for a 2026 victory. Good candidate. Check it out. gayforcongress.com

Trump & his acolytes are trying to dismantle the modern administrative state from the inside to serve the interests of the rich, the powerful and those who want to pull the ladder up behind themselves. Stay vigilant. bsky.app/profile/stev...

629 days to the midterms. Here's a mantra. Trump cares about revenge and tax cuts for billionaires, and not your cost of living or anything else about you.

The courts are slowing down Trumpist efforts to disrupt scientific research and undermine public policies based on facts and science--not ideological predisposition. Trumpists predictably will try to disregard the courts and plow ahead. Be alert. calmatters.org/education/hi...

There are only 634 days to retake the House and achieve a 50-50 Senate, which will entirely sideline the Trumpist menace on Capitol Hill. While there will be much havoc in the interim, it's good to have important work to do.

This is where we are today and we can't fight 21st Century pirates with 18th Century tactics.

Unity is essential. Glad Ben Wikler said so: " *** Congratulations to Ken Martin ... and ... to all the ... officers. ***I urge all those who supported my campaign to support our new leadership team in the work ahead. *** The real work starts now. *** Let's unite, fight, and win. "

Today, I join 440+ DNC members in voting for DNC Chair, 4 Vice Chairs, Secretary, Treasurer and National Finance Chair. The winners must join with other Democratic leaders and give full-throated and plainspoken voice to our Party’s positions and values. hartmannreport.com/p/if-obama-h...

Yesterday, the DNC mourned Wednesday's loss of life, discussed rebuilding our Party from the grassroots up, and held a forum of aspirants for Party leadership. I am cautiously optimistic that we can leave this meeting stronger and ready for a long, hard journey to victory in 2026 and beyond.

Knew there were delays at Washington National Airport last night when I went to bed, but unaware of the tragedy behind them. Saddened to learn the reason. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Hard to decide whether this ongoing saga of Trump’s efforts to undo the 14th Amendment or the advancing of the Bondi nomination to.the full Senate, where she will confirmed, is the more disturbing story of the week. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
