This is the kind of investigation James Comer was made for…

Find them. Prosecute them. Imprison them.

Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch.

Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.

Starbucks CEO made $95M last year. The median worker made $14K. That’s a gap of 6,666 to 1.
This isn’t capitalism rewarding risk, it’s extraction on autopilot. Every empire ends with elites hollowing out the core. You’re watching it.

The water is rising and flooding the tents today. Water is all around the extension cords and power strips. What a disaster!

Official Results Show Mamdani Crushed Cuomo The final ranked-choice voting tabulation is here and it shows Zohran Mamdani crushed Andrew Cuomo with some major help from Brad Lander.

I’ll do the same. I reread 1984 this spring. It was a totally different experience when identifying the parallels in the book to this administration. Scary.

CNN ran a clip of my interview with @governor.ca.gov from today. Absolutely unhelpful to have National Guard and Marines in LA.

Me too! I have my 8/1/25 SF ticket!

We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

"Veterans know the layoffs aren’t about saving money. They’re about weakening the institution and ultimately privatizing and gutting VA disability funding, as spelled out in Project 2025."

What happened to states’ rights, Kristi?

Rule of law is ‘endangered,’ chief justice says Speaking at Georgetown Law, Chief Justice John Roberts denounced “ad hominem” criticism of the justices.

It's almost as if granting a criminal blanket immunity was a bad idea.

It's funny. I've moved on from my Catholic upbringing but I still believe it's our duty to treat other humans with justice and respect no matter their status. Strange that that idea makes me a commie now.

The rule of law is all or nothing and must apply equally to everyone. If there's no rule of law for some people in America, then there's no rule of law for any of us.

Cause Congress is paralyzed with fears retribution.
