We don't need a 'Democratic Stephen Miller.' We need Democrats who will unapologetically fight for our values.

We don't need a 'Joe Rogan of the Left.' We need a progressive media ecosystem that will unapologetically fight for our values.

We don't need their playbook. We need to believe in us.

Your support helps us keep events like this open to young people and community members who donโ€™t usually get invited into the political process. Thatโ€™s the kind of campaign Iโ€™m running, one thatโ€™s accessible, people powered, and built for everyone.

Hope to see you there!

Today, Iโ€™m reflecting on what Independence Day truly means.

Our independence has never come easy. It has not been without terrible times or regrettable actions. But in every generation, there have been people willing to fight for whatโ€™s right and through helping each other, weโ€™ve made progress

With our end-of-quarter deadline coming up on June 30, nowโ€™s the time to chip in $20, $50, $100, or whatever feels comfortable. Every little bit helps us grow this campaign and reach more people across the district.

The United States Bombed Iran. What Comes Next? President Trump is taking an enormous risk.

If the Iranian program is now gone, that's a good thing, but as strategists and military planners always warn, the โ€œenemy gets a vote.โ€ The Iranians may respond in ways the U.S. does not expect.

California Republicans Hate Government โ€˜Overreach.โ€™ Most Are Quiet on Trumpโ€™s Military in LA | KQED California Republicans who agreed to speak with CalMatters endorse President Donald Trumpโ€™s military deployment in Los Angeles as necessary to save the state from its Democratic leadership.

When is it OK for a president to use military forces on civilians in a state over the objections of their governor?

When that governor is Gavin Newsom, California Republican leaders say. www.kqed.org/news/1204499...

Yesterday I went to Sacramentoโ€™s Immigration Courts and saw a sobbing young man be assaulted and kidnapped without cause by plainclothes ICE agents.

Saturday's No Kings protest was one of the biggest - if not the biggest - protest in US History. Read the room Patterdude.

Iโ€™m not waiting for a stage or a microphone. Iโ€™m showing up where our communities are already leading.

At the No Kings protest in Auburn, one of the largest the town has seen, I asked people: Why are you out here protesting?

The answers were powerful.

You can work for hours trying to get the words right. Read and rewrite over and over, and even come back later to reread and rewrite again. You can think it finally makes perfect sense. And yet, there will always be folks who will spectacularly miss the frickin' point.

Braedon: I come from a nation that believed in fascist ideology for a while. And we donโ€™t want to go to that again. We are close to it because people want to simplify complex problems.
