When Trump had the chance to stand up for law enforcement on Jan 6, 2021, he didn’t. He refused to call in the National Guard, called the insurrectionists “patriots” & “great people,” & described the attack as “a day of love.” Now he uses them as a political prop for his theatrical power grab.

Eleni’s Book Club is officially underway 📚 I’ve always loved reading and the way books bring people together and spark meaningful conversations. For our first video, I’m starting with 107 Days by VP @kamalaharris.com — a powerful and inspiring reflection on leadership at a pivotal moment.
First Colbert. Now Kimmel. Who’s next? Ben Rhodes is exactly right about Trump creating an environment where people start to self-censor. It is right out of Viktor Orban‘s playbook which, as Ben, notes, Trump & his administration have studied. The fight to speak the truth is far from over.
Nearly 250 years ago, our founders imagined a nation rooted in liberty, justice & democracy. Today, those ideals are under threat, but the spirit of 1776 lives on in every American who shows up & speaks out. This Fourth of July, let’s celebrate our freedom — and fight to protect it 🇺🇸
JD Vance rolled into California, shut out our local press, and showed us exactly who he is: out of touch, disrespectful, and proudly racist. Calling U.S. Senator ALEX Padilla “Jose” wasn’t a mistake—it was a message. And Californians see right through it.
Proud to kick off the YES on Prop 50 campaign with @seiu2015.bsky.social and @sflabor.bsky.social! Texans say, ‘Don’t mess with Texas.’ But Californians? We say, ‘Don’t poke the bear.’ And we mean it.
Honored to have the support of Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi — a mentor, a friend, & one of CA’s greatest leaders. As Treasurer, I’ll invest in affordable housing & infrastructure to create jobs & tackle our housing crisis head-on. Grateful for her confidence as we keep fighting for CA’s future.
First, the Trump Administration sent National Guard troops to California for political theater. Now, they’re doing the same in Washington, DC. It’s a waste of taxpayer dollars and a dangerous power grab. California stands with DC in rejecting these stunts and defending our democracy.
For this month’s book club, I read Governor @gavinnewsom.bsky.social’s autobiography, Young Man in a Hurry. The book offers an insightful look at his life, with a detailed first-person account of the challenges he faced. I highly recommend it and look forward to hearing everyone’s thoughts on it.
California, we are one day away from Election Day! Your ballot must be postmarked by Election Day, so today is a great day to drop it in the mailbox or return to it to a vote center. In order for democracy to work, we all need to participate, so be sure to go to vote.ca.gov to make your plan.
What’s happening in LA isn’t about safety — it’s fearmongering. Immigrants are part of the fabric of our great state. CA stands with our immigrant communities & is taking action to protect them. Stay peaceful. Don’t give Trump what he wants. Our strength is in unity, not chaos.

This is another reminder of the volatility and riskiness of fossil fuels. It shows that a system built on ageing infrastructure leaves Australia vulnerable to fuel insecurity and price shocks. We are relieved to hear that all workers on site are safe.

The most sacred clause in the Constitution may be the war making clause. Our founding fathers are turning in their grave watching this Republican Congress allow one man lead us into a disastrous, incompetently run war.

Day three at Ithumba. Mwinzi, Toto and Natibu ended their evening with a rainy stroll home – and led the charge themselves. Mwinzi: implacable as ever. Natibu: already sizing up the herd. Toto: leaning on his Keepers as he takes it all in. Settling in beautifully.

“Worst of the worst,” they said. Rep. Dan Goldman visited Delaney Hall and found worm-infested food, no medical care, overflowing sewage, retaliation, no outdoor time—and lawful visa holders, including an 18-year-old missing prom and graduation in detention. Room after room, lawmakers asked: 1/2
My new theory. Love Is Blind is actually Love Is MAGA. The show is now an experiment to persuade successful women to consider marrying MAGA men. And the experiment is going horribly for MAGA. #loveisblind #loveisblindnetflix #maga #manosphere

VIA reichwingwatch This is capitalism in its rawest form... Not “how many lives will be lost?” but “will this move the needle on my portfolio?” This is the system working exactly as designed. Human lives are the expendable. Wall Street profits is the constant.
