If you have been touched by the monks walking for peace.

I’m proud to welcome four new specialized K-9 teams as part of California Highway Patrol's work to improve public safety for Californians, one paw at a time.

These newly trained dogs and handlers will help California continue our successful work to bark back against crime. 🐾

That’s not just a White House demolition. That’s Southern-style middle-finger politics in action.

Pope Leo is serving the people by following the teachings of Jesus Christ and reminding us of being loving and compassionate with one another. Conservative Catholics don’t like him and MAGA sure doesn’t. As a liberal Catholic I am so grateful he brings me hope during this difficult time.

For almost four decades, Nancy Pelosi has served the American people and worked to make our country better. No one was more skilled at bringing people together and getting legislation passed – and I will always be grateful for her support of the Affordable Care Act.

Happy birthday! Yes to age 65 and a big YES to 50! (I voted)

I agree and suggested the same to Bluesky. Even just a neutral ✔️

You know what today marks? 3 WEEKS since @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social won her election to represent #AZ07 in Congress.

That is 3 weeks more that 700k Arizonans have gone without representation in the House because Speaker Mike Johnson won’t swear her in. Stop delaying and do your job.

The Trump-Vance Administration getting rid of biodefense personnel is, to state the blindingly obvious, a very bad choice.

Why aren’t the Republicans working?

Trump is saying if Democrats don't bend the knee and let him take health care away from millions, he's just going to turn around and inflict pain by firing American workers and withholding funding from our communities.

That’s not governing. That’s a wannabe king taking hostages.

When a president sends troops into American cities to “restore order,” what he’s really doing is testing obedience. Portland and Chicago aren’t war zones…they’re warning shots.

This is the third woman I’ve seen body slammed to the ground and I’m sure there’s been many more not on camera. These thugs need to be prosecuted. The abuse is unacceptable and totally unnecessary!
