Great turnout to canvass in support of Prop 50 today! The response at the doors was very favorable but most people don’t know about it. That’s why contacting voters is so important RIGHT NOW and we need you to join in the fun! #YESON50 💙🇺🇸

Go Cougs! They're holding their own!

Notice Mike Johnson's head nod when she says the president is unhinged. He knows and he agrees, but he won't be the person to stand up to him.

Let's go as big as families deserve My proposal for a universal Child Development System

The care crisis isn’t just about childcare. It’s about the gap between the labor market and the K–12 school day.

@kedseconomist.com lays out a bold proposal: a Child Development System that covers early care, after school, and summer—for every family, everywhere. www.kedits.com/cp/169052357

YouTube video by Campaign for Democracy Governor Newsom's Address: Democracy at a Crossroads

You may have seen clips of this speech, but if you haven't yet, you really ought to watch the entire thing and then share it with everyone you know!

I remember being in high school, and a woman who survived the holocaust came to speak with us. Someone asked her if what happened in World War II could happen again. She didn't miss a beat when she said, "Absolutely, yes." It was hard to believe back then (1980s), but look at us now.

This is such a stupid campaign by Hegseth. It's also an expense that no one is talking about. How much does it cost to remove these names and put replacement names on them? Not just on the ships, but everywhere they are referenced. Where is the efficiency here? It's a huge waste of money, too!

This is also shocking because his cousin, Maria Shriver, is a huge advocate for Alzheimer's research because of what she experienced with her parents.

This feels like a good day to once again recommend following @kedseconomist.com’s work. She’s a great economics explainer and somehow finds a way to inject optimism into even the most grim issues.

Social Security Don’t Miss — Optimist Economy

I highly recommend the “Optimist Economy” podcast by @kedseconomist.com, particularly this episode about Social Security. There is so much misunderstanding about SSA. It’s a great program, it’s run well, and it’s easy to sustain with simple changes. overcast.fm/+ABOKn2-OjiM

That's a dis on drunken frat boys. I think they would do a better job.

Love seeing Candy run and smile!!

Yes, the workers deserve our support and thanks. But why has King City and the whole central valley been littered with Trump/Vance signs for months? How can owners say they support their people, yet vote for the idiots who will destroy them? It makes no sense.

Unfortunately, this was inevitable and expected. What a lost, lost person. Too bad his family didn't get him the help he needed (long before the rapes) when there was still a chance that he could be a productive member of society.

I don't know you, but I'm sending you positive vibes. You got this!

Clearly, Trump has never read a history book and has no understanding of the background for the turmoil in that region. He seems to think he can just show up and say "Hey, here's my great idea. We'll make you an immigrant in a completely new land. You'll fit right in. Easy-peasy." 😡

The right opportunity is out there for you. Stay focused, take action, and keep moving forward. 💪✨

✅ Protect your mindset – Job searching can be tough, but rejection isn’t a reflection of your worth. Keep showing up, stay consistent, and believe in your value.

✅ Stay adaptable – The best candidates are those who keep learning. Upskilling—even in small ways—keeps you competitive and confident.

✅ Leverage your network – Most jobs are landed through relationships. Engage with your industry, reconnect with past colleagues, and don’t be afraid to ask for introductions.

✅ Control what you can – You can’t change the economy, but you can refine your resume, optimize your LinkedIn profile, and build meaningful connections.

The job market is constantly shifting—some industries are booming, others are tightening, and AI is reshaping roles across the board. If you’re in the middle of a job search (or considering one), it’s easy to feel overwhelmed or even defeated.

Here’s how to stay on track and land a role you love:

🤣🤣🤣 Me too!!

I've read that your mom is extremely private, so this must have taken a lot of strength and courage. She deserves our gratitude for doing what she could to warn Congress about her cousin, but how sad she even had to do it. 🤞 that it's enough.

You're doing amazing work and adding so much to my absolute favorite podcast team!!

Just purchased 3 copies! One for me, and two to give as gifts. We all need Niall and his dogs in our life.

It's amazing that sweet little Alba touched so many of us around the world. Thank you for sharing her with us. We needed her.

Me, too! I missed it for a couple of days, but now, I don't think about it at all.
