Today, House GOP flew to California to try to sell their Big Ugly Bill. They're doing this stunt because they know their bill is a disaster. With @replindasanchez.bsky.social, @gomez.house.gov & @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social , we’re saying, it’s not beautiful, it’s a betrayal.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
