There is only one choice: Reopen government AND protect life saving healthcare.

I know there’s serious news, but this? Too good not to share.
Gavin Newsom’s office just posted a clip of EMPEROR PALPATINE reading Trump’s unhinged Truth Social rant about the L.A. protests.
It’s trolling at its finest.

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work.
You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules.
Get your lies straight.
