Best thing California could do to fight fascism is build more housing.
Lemme speak with directness and a sense of urgency about our most important economic threats, and what history teaches us about moments like this.
OBAMA TO TEXAS DEMS: "We became complacent... This precious democracy is not a given. It requires us to fight for it." 🇺🇸

Today they have crossed a deep red line.
We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.
A group of us have arrived on the Senate floor to challenge our colleagues - on both sides of the aside - to rise to this moment and jointly condemn what has happened to Sen. Padilla. Yes we still need to collect the full facts, but this appears to be a defining moment for the country.
Sen. Alex Padilla, who was just forcibly removed from a DHS press conference, is the ranking member of Judiciary’s subcommittee on immigration, citizenship, and border safety, which has “oversight of federal agencies with citizenship, asylum, refugee, and immigration enforcement responsibilities.”
Senator Padilla cuffed on the ground for trying to ask Noem a question… 😳🇺🇸

Monstrously destructive, incoherent, ill-informed tariffs based on fabrications, imagined wrongs, discredited theories and ignorance of decades of evidence. And the real tragedy is that they will hurt working Americans more than anyone else.
It's simple. Everyone in the US enjoys the protections of the Constitution - even visitors. So if someone commits a crime here, you give them due process here. You charge them here, try them here, and sentence them here. You don't deport them to an offshore torture prison.
U.S. provides a warning to Canada: When you elect a clown, you get a circus.
Dear Canadians, we have a front-row seat to the madness. What is happening in the States is now affecting us. The question is: will we have to feel to learn? #Opinion
