I am running for Congress because we urgently need leaders who will stand up for our rights. We need leaders who understand that treating human beings like human beings is a moral obligation, not a political question. We need leaders who will work hard to help humanity, not serve the elite.
I am a first-generation college graduate, the mom of a young daughter, a proud union member, and a public defender. I have personally experienced many of the challenges that working class people face, and I understand the urgency they demand.

Bonta: Trump has contempt for the rule of law because it boxes him in. It restrains him and constrains him, as it should.
While criticizing this decision may be a short-term move for him, itβs probably a long-term problem. These are human beings who have memories.

Given the left wing didn't exist in American politics until the 1930s, real progressives, the ones who had their own political party and supported women's right to vote, income tax, and prohibition, is right wing.

Donald Trump is on national television, in the White House Press Briefing Room, whining about the Supreme Court striking down his illegal and unconstitutional tariffs like a little bitch.
And I absolutely LOVE that for him.

Democrats should run this year on returning tariff revenue to Americans. Trump already said today heβs going to fight this in the courts. An easy mode way to be on the right side of the affordability issue.

Trump calls Supreme Court justices 'disloyal to the Constitution' over tariffs ruling
President Trump launched a vitriolic attack on the justices who ruled against him, including two he himself appointed.
Trump says Supreme Court justices are disloyal and unpatriotic and says two of his own appointees are embarrassments to their families in a predictable but still extraordinary outburst against a court that often rules in his favor:
