She Won. They Didn't Just Change the Machines. They Rewired the Election. How Leonard Leo's 2021 sale of an electronics firm enabled tech giants to subvert the 2024 election.

This is the spirit of Los Angeles.

This is California.

Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Why didnโ€™t DJT send in National Guard on Jan 6 during an actual insurrection?

Iโ€™m in LA and there is no insurrection. Only peaceful protests. And why didnโ€™t DJT call out National Guard on Jan 6 when there actually was an insurrection against our government?

The crime rate of undocumented immigrants in the US is far lower than the crime rate of the current occupant of the Oval Office.

Iโ€™m a proud member of the USC Adjunct Faculty Alliance-United Auto Workers union & we protested USCโ€™s stonewalling our negotiations, filing an Unfair Labor Practice against them.

Iโ€™m old enough to remember when I took out a full-page ad in the New York Times last fall to publish a letter signed by 225 mental-health professionals saying that Trumpโ€™s severe personality disorders made him destructive and dangerous.

Why hasnโ€™t George Clooney come out against Trump? He was so concerned about Bidenโ€™s health, while he achieved historic legislation, lowest unemployment since the 70s & led an economy that was envy of the world. Where is he now that a sociopathic oligarch tears up the Constitution?

Today Donald Trump attacked me by name in a speech at the Department of Justice. Of course I am worried, but courage comes from acting in spite of being worried. I have made my choice: I will continue to speak out, I will continue to litigate, I will continue to stand tall.

I will never bow down.

This should be every Democrat's reaction to an unelected billionaire gutting our federal government and services with no oversight or accountability.

Including all of the fired NSA, FBI and CIA agents and thereโ€™s no way the mad billionaire canโ€™t be taken down. A boffo movie franchise.

Wow. 20+ DOGE staffers just resigned en masse, saying they refuse to use their expertise to โ€œdismantle critical public services.โ€

WTF.
