My reaction to the news about the leaked Signal chats by senior members of the Trump Administration’s national security team:
I was out in the San Fernando Valley talking to neighbors about the high cost of living and the corruption coming out of this administration. We can fight back by making sure our voices are heard at the ballot box. Make sure to return your ballot by June 2!

Tuchel on why no Palmer or Foden - on Palmer: "He didn't have the best season and wasn't decisive. He competes with Jude, Rogers and Eze who had better seasons." On Foden: "It hurt me to call him, I could tell how it affected him. I was not sure what his best position is - is it a 10, false 9 or 8?"
The foster-care-to-homelessness pipeline is a policy choice and a moral failure. At 78 Haight, we’re finally choosing differently.

Despite the controversy—Platner will WIN because his message lands: 'We won’t just FIGHT the oligarchy, we will DEFEAT it.

Jeff Bezos said the bottom half of Americans should pay zero federal income tax. It stands to reason. We should exempt low-income earners from taxes and impose higher progressive tax rates on high-income earners. This is the way to narrow the wealth gap in our country.

CGT and negative gearing concessions were overly generous and helped fuel the housing crisis. I supported today’s changes, as I’ve long campaigned for reform. As things stand at the moment however the Gov has a lot of work to do to get the rest (e.g. trust changes) done right. #auspol #politas
