Trump believes the chaos he is causing is popular. He is wrong. In less than a month, Trump’s approval / disapproval ratings have reversed and a majority of Americans now disapprove of his job performance. Trump’s actions are hurting Americans and increasing prices.

With Rep Maxine Waters today speaking out about the Trump chaos that is harming our economy and our democracy. Also, the proposed GOP budget makes draconian cuts to health care in order to give trillions in tax breaks to billionaires. I will be a hell no vote on this GOP budget.

7 years ago today was the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. My wife and I joined Rep Jared Moskowitz at today’s event to honor first responders and remember the 17 beautiful lives taken far too soon.

The Trump Administration and Republicans in Congress have caused a lot of chaos, but done nothing to lower costs. Egg prices continue to soar. I recently went grocery shopping and not only were egg prices between $7.99 and $12.79, but there were no eggs. The shelves were empty.

When you solve for the wrong problem, not only do you not get the solution, you can cause harm. The President wasted water that was being saved for farmers for a PR stunt. This was harmful, ludicrous, and solved nothing.

The Republican witnesses at today’s hearing tried to blame Californians for the fires. Had to set the record straight.

Trump’s unconstitutional order freezes funding that: -Provides medical care to veterans -Helps farmers fight the bird flu -Supplies bullet proof vests to police officers Trump’s actions will increase crime, increase healthcare costs and increase the price of eggs.

Grocery prices will rise due to Republican policies. “75% of immigrant farm workers didn’t show up yesterday in Bakersfield because of fears of ICE raids under the new presidency.”

I went through the list of executive orders issued by the current President. None of them lower the price of eggs. Not a single one. In fact, some of the executive orders will raise your costs, such as on prescription drugs.

Pardoning criminals who hurt police officers on January 6 is massively disrespectful to law enforcement. And how does this lower the price of eggs? The American people did not elect the current President because the people want lawlessness. The people want lower prices.

TRUTH: The massive fire that destroyed Altadena was not a “forest fire.” The fire had nothing to do with forest management or water policy. Three main reasons the fire exploded: 1. Drought-like conditions 2. Very low relative humidity 3. Santa Ana winds reaching 100 mph (Video by Stuart Palley)

Twitter got rid of content moderation and what happened? Revenues declined but stupid tweets by your cousin’s friend about stopping the polio vaccine increased. I expect any platform that gets rid of content moderation will also see more disinformation, and a decline in revenues.

Democrats gained seats in Congress. At the beginning of this term Democrats had 213 seats. Next term we will have 215 seats. Trump is at less than 50% of the popular vote. This was not a landslide election. The GOP does not have a mandate. Voters want both parties to work together.
