Kevin Kiley, we see you. We're not falling for your faux moderate man of the people shtick. You've voted w/ Trump almost 100% of the time & only voted to release the #EpsteinFiles after being given permission to do so. Pathetic.

“In the end, it doesn’t matter which district Rep. Kevin Kiley considers worthy of his candidacy. No amount of carefully worded interviews, performative media appearances, aggrieved social media posts, or false veneer of moderation will change his voting record.”

Kudos @smithbarbv.bsky.social 🌟

NO FOOD FOR YOU: The Trump administration tells states to “immediately undo any steps taken to issue full SNAP benefits for November 2025"

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

This picture says it all—the physical manifestation of what the #GrifterInChief is doing to our country.

So. . . like most things, they’re ignorant of how things are supposed to work. 🤣 More ammunition for their grievance & retribution tour.

File a Public Comment against the Federal Voter ID requirement
MAGA wants to disenfranchise voters by imposing new ID reqs.
This rule change targets mail-in voting, & is meant to keep many new voters from registering.

Officials shouldn’t tell us how to vote Officials shouldn’t tell us how to vote

If you believe, like I do, that public officials shouldn't use their public office & personal opinions to sway voters, let them know. Silence permits them to continue this behavior—my LTE in today's Gold Country Media.

Unpacking Rep. Kevin Kiley’s misleading claims on tax reform bill | Opinion “It’s time for Kiley to come clean on the actual impact of this legislation he supports.”

#CA03 is mis-represented by a MAGA apologist extremist who says whatever he thinks is politically expedient--whether or not it's the truth.
My editorial in the 8/13/25 @SacramentoBee
www.sacbee.com/opinion/op-e...

California GOP Rep. Kevin Kiley aims to end the national redistricting war with legislation The effort would take aim at maps redrawn in Texas for Republican advantage or in California to help Democrats.

Someone is getting nervous. . .

@jackohman.bsky.social nails it again. #EpsteinFiles #Corruption

Johnson Shuts Down House To Block Epstein Vote Johnson accused the Democrats of using the House’s rules committee as a “political battering ram.”

Distract. Deny. Deflect. Deceive.
The SOP of the #RepublicanParty and Trump's chief sycophant, Speaker Johnson.
Disgraceful.

Tuesday, June 3 Acting FEMA chief told staff he didn't know about US hurricane season

In today’s episode of #MoronsAreGoverningAmerica (are you kidding me edition) we get another example of the dangerous incompetence of this administration.

U.S. citizen with REAL ID handcuffed and held in immigration raid before being released The man told Noticias Telemundo that authorities took his ID from his wallet and told him it was fake before handcuffing him.

In today's episode of #MoronsAreGoverningAmerica (brown must be suspect edition), we see that taking away rights is not patriotism, it's fascism. How many more will suffer until we stand up to this dangerous administration?

This is what dictators do!

They use the people’s government to line their own pocket & family with grift, corruption, & bribes!

Felon is preparing to accept a $400 million “flying palace” jet from Qatar!

That’s on top of likely foreign money going to felon & his family through their crypto coin!

Exactly!

Monday , May 12 Trump's return to power elevates ever fringier conspiracy theories

In today’s episode of #MoronsAreGoverningAmerica, we learn that morons beget morons. Trump's return to power elevates ever fringier conspiracy theories

This is what #CA03 Kevin Kiley supports—all the while claiming he won’t vote against #Medicaid funding. Don’t be fooled—the #GOP wants us poor, sick, & powerless. #KickOutKiley

So. . . #KevinKiley is in favor of choice . . . just not our reproductive choices.
He's touting his role in "allowing" Californians to drive the car of their choice, but doesn't support the right of women to make decisions about their bodies. Hypocrisy 101.
