Congress: You will be remembered by history for every vote you take on this war. California is entitled to wildfire aid and we don't need to attach it to funding an illegal, unjust, immoral war of choice.
Speak out, friends. actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...
Monstrous: link between California's long overdue wildfire aid and a bill to fund Trump's depraved war of aggression. Congressional Repubs are talking about linking wildfire aid to a bill to pay for Trump's war, in order to attract Dem votes. Tell them: HELL NO. actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...
The United States must dominate The Dark! Make Darkness Great Again!
If there will be trials for war crimes, these House Repubs are aiding and abetting
thank you for staying on this.
Finally, poll argues that Swalwell's support is "fragile" and highlights best lines of attack: he has missed votes, he voted for a pro-ICE resolution, and takes corporate PAC money.
Thx for listening.
Poll also has Becerra, Mahan, and Villaraigosa at less than 5 percent each, and doesn't include Betty Less Than Three or Tony Two at all.
hey folk, got hold of a #CAGov poll, apparently internal poll on behalf of Tom Steyer, claiming that he's now leading the Dem field. Poll taken late Feb/early March. Deets:
Steyer 16, +6 from late Jan./early Feb
Porter 13, +1
Swalwell 11, -3
Hilton 20, +2
Bianco 15, -3

LOL "Ventura County" is trending on the other place and 1st I thought Musk is really tailoring the algorithm...and it turns out Britney Spears was arrested last night somewhere in Ventura County.

I just wrote a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social with @climatehawksvote.com to tell Trump: No Drilling in the Arctic Refuge! Even #BigOil doesn't want to drill, and that's why there were no bids in 2024. Send your own comment to #SavetheArctic & #ActOnClimate at: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...
hahahaha desperate delusional campaign releasing an internal poll showing that YOU ARE IN SIXTH PLACE WITH SEVEN PERCENT OF THE VOTE and claiming a path forward. Antoni-oil, drop out NOW. #CAGov static1.squarespace.com/static/668c9...
This is the website of Ethan Agarwal, a rich tech guy running against @rokhanna.bsky.social in CA-17, aka Silicon Valley, as in, has people who know something about website design. Utter postmodern brilliance.
And Mahan. Most impressive, or something, campaign ever at CADEM convention.
New PPIC poll: 5 #CAGov candidates each over 10 percent, 2 Repubs and Porter, Steyer, Swalwell
Every other Dem candidate below 5 percent. And they need to drop out.
www.latimes.com/california/s...
What. The. Actual. Fucking. Fuck.
Sorta obvious outcome: AIPAC and Justice Dems/ PALPAC, representing candidates 2 and 3, snipe at each other while candidate 1 skates unscathed
and I sincerely hope that the editoral board folk who claim "modest benefits" from regulating greenhouse gases experience the reality of a fossil fueled wildfire.
Not sayin' die in a fire. Just go evacuate on 5 minutes' notice to let go of your home and all your earthly possessions.
I just canceled my @washingtonpost.com subscription. The same $120/year is paying for half the journalists, because Bezos laid off the other half. TBH I was on the fence until this pair of headlines, one about the three way-warmest years ever, the second celebrating inability to act on climate.
I've been planning to cancel my subscription at the end of the month. This just accelerated the timeline. Thx Emily and @sammyroth.bsky.social.
I see that the Minnesota de-escalation is going well, if by de-escalation you mean that ICE is only using guns to threaten, terrify, and intimidate citizens instead of murdering them.
Yes
earlier today, I did an interview with Politico California Climate on San Jose Matt Mahan's entry into the #CAGov race, and I predicted that my 30 minute interview would be boiled down to 3 words. And... #NailedIt! #BigYawnMeh
y'all have heard of redboxing -- campaigns' coded messages to their SuperPACs often found on website "media" page? This is the 1st I've seen redboxing in a debate as a plea for the Abundance Bros to fund Xavier Becerra, please, I'm begging you.
Definitely agree with XB disqualification...and $39,200 max contribution from Chevron also disqualifies XB.
They're on closing statements. Steyer mentions, again, MPP.
Fact check; true.
Swalwell: leads with an anecdote as he's been doing all afternoon. I will hold accountable utility co's (who are NOT the targets of MPP bill)
Sammy Roth follow up on MPP bill. XB: yes, they will be at the table and need to pay their fair share. ES: yes.
#CAGov forum, nearly an hour in, a big question on Make Polluters Pay. Steyer answers 1st: yes, he would push this. (He told me last night that he'd sign the bill)
Porter: polluters need to pay full cost.
Becerra: freeze rates on utilty and insurance bills, get everyone inc polluters at the table.
Sylvia is live skeeting this so I don't have to. Follow her.
