"Affordability is a con job." β President Donald J. Trump. December 2nd, 2025.
No, it isn't. He CAMPAIGNED on it but voters just got more bait and switch.
The facts show folks are getting fleeced. But even the GOP is seeing Dems refocus on everyday folks and costs. A revitalized of our soul.

β Compounds challenges with declining visitorship and significant inflationary costs due to tariff policies and international relations while Park staffing was slashed and workers were forced to work unpaid.
Make it make sense to me, or repeal these harmful policies.

The FBI director is openly saying he is using their government jet to visit his girlfriend and watch wrestling. Why the $10,000/hour jet? Because he "deserves a personal life too."
Cash Patel must resign. Republicans must demand accountability.

There are so many things to be grateful for β my supporters, my friends, all the good things in life.
But my dad rises above. The politico, the small business owner, the music man, the mentor, the #1 supporter.

Someone asked me about running during a time when the President of the US suggested hanging Democrats.
Sad to say, not the first time I've had my life threatened for serving.
It's because of that, not in spite of, that we need leaders MORE THAN EVER with the courage to stand up and in front.

1) We can't take elections for granted even with a lead.
2) Thorough vetting of candidates and choosing ones with records of their values, like Tim had.
3) Always be ready to counterpunch.
4) Knock, walk, and phonebank.
5) Don't let it go. She betrayed folks. Write CADEM β make it a priority race.

When you donate to food banks, double check what they need and check expiration date. A lot of them need perishables because they're, well, perishable.
Most food banks also receive regular deliveries. You can supplement when they're running low.

Thanks for the opportunity. I've been a county official for 5 years so you can see how I have approached it on my website. In short, we need far more affordable housing, costs of living focused policy, and fire insurance reform. The same targeted to our Veterans as well.

My opponent has spent more time organizing against Prop 50, targeting city elected officials, and insulting colleagues online than actually working to help lower costs and improve people's lives.
Am I the oddball for expecting our state leaders to focus on leading and actually doing something?

My name is Jaron Brandon and I am running to unseat Senator Marie Alvarado-Gil.
She ran as a Democrat fighting against labor, retaliated against her staff, and then switched parties.
She needs to go.

The idea that tariffs do not increase prices, but cutting tariffs on some groceries will lower prices, is wild mental gymnastics. Don't believe the rhetoric. Believe the prices at the grocery store.

No ifs ands or buts about it β the FAIR Plan for fire insurance is fundamentally broken and unFAIR. We need to address fire risk, insurance markets, and climate resiliency for communities like ours, not on the backs of them.
