With SNAP benefits still at risk, Los Angeles is stepping up with food distribution sites and programs across our district.

I'll keep fighting to protect SNAP. If you currently need assistance, visitΒ 211.orgΒ to find food resources near you.

Went to repost this and then depressingly saw it was from 8 months ago. This is still true, and I am now convinced it will remain true until there are successful primary challenges nationwide to the "roll over and play dead" Dems.

Supreme Court turned down a request to consider overturning its decision to legalize same-sex marriage a decade ago. The court, without comment, declined the petition, filed by Kim Davis, the former Kentucky county clerk who in 2015 refused to issue same-sex licenses because of her religious beliefs

CALL NOW: Tell Your Democratic Senator It's Time for Chuck Schumer to Step Aside

Enough is enough. Contact your Democratic senators TODAY and tell them to call for Senator Schumer to step aside as Minority Leader. We desperately need new leadership in the Democratic Party.

If Chuck Schumer’s leadership position is not challenged after this, the Democratic Party will lose the last shred of credibility it’s holding onto.

Thank you, Congresswoman! I'm so proud to be represented by you!

Unlike feckless @schumer.senate.gov you stand up for Americans.

You must be as outraged as I am! As your constituent, I demand you vote to remove @schumer.senate.gov as minority senate leader. It only takes 23 senators, easily attained since many more Dem Senators voted no, as you did! @indivisiblewestsidela.com @indivisible.org

Ezra Levin on Bluesky: β€œI'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave.

It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.”

🚨 We’re hearing that Senate Democrats are on the verge of caving to Trump in another β€œSchumer Surrender.”

That means your Democratic senators need to hear from you right now.

@schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov DO NOT CAVE ON THE SHUTDOWN. You cannot re-open for anything less than full extension of the ACA subsidies. The promise of a vote is NOT GOOD ENOUGH. You have momentum on your side and Tuesday's election results show we want FIGHTERS. SO FIGHT.

The Social Security Administration Is Gutting Regional Staff and Shifting All Public Communications to X The SSA’s shift to Elon Musk’s X comes as the agency plans to cut its regional office workforce by roughly 90 percent, WIRED has learned.

If you’ve left Twitter but also want to know why your Social Security check is late, you’re screwed.

A set of billionaires has come together to ransack the things we care about for their own personal benefit β€” and because they know it’s unpopular, they have to sabotage democracy so they can keep getting away with it.

Murphy: This is also a political tool for Trump. You see what he’s doing with these universities and law firms... I think it’s likely the same thing could happen with the tariffs: each big company or industry will have to come to Trump to get tariff relief in exchange for political loyalty…

I found @chrislhayes.bsky.social's interview with Schumer to be eye-opening. Now that I understand Schumer doesn't believe we're yet in a constitutional crisis, his tactical shortcomings make sense. But his position here is also deeply out of line with rank and file Dems. We need new leadership.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to β€œthe left” and therefore ignorable.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.
