Eight Democrats just bent the knee to Trump, risking millions of Americans’ healthcare. This is a bad deal and Democrats need to be willing to fight and stand up to this authoritarian regime, no matter how painful that may be.

This is great news. We dodged a bullet. But we must remain vigilant, given the movement to overturn marriage equality.
It’s why we amended marriage protections into the CA Constitution & why Dems passed a federal law requiring states to recognize other states’ LGBTQ marriages.
The fight continues.

House Democrats need to reject this bad deal. Giving up on the 24 million people about to face astronomical health premium hikes — in exchange for a hypothetical future vote that Mike Johnson may not agree to & Trump certainly won’t sign — is truly weak.
The Senate on Sunday night took the first step toward ending the longest shutdown in U.S. history, after a group of Democrats broke their party’s blockade and voted with Republicans to advance legislation to reopen the government.
Senate Moves Toward Ending Shutdown After Democratic Defectors Relent
A small but critical group of Democrats backed legislation to fund the government, providing the votes to move forward with a spending package that would end the shutdown in coming days.

I posted that it’s nuts for Loomer to advocate banning Muslims from running for office & banning Muslim religious practices.
Her response? Connecting it all to … wait for it … pedophilia!
It’s a small window into the QAnon brain worm infection.

Since launching our campaign to represent the great city of San Francisco in Congress, the outpouring of support has been tremendous. Our team is mobilizing & we’ll be across SF with our positive vision for our city & country. Thank you to all the volunteers at farmers markets & beyond. Onward!

The normalization of anti-Muslim rhetoric is reaching new levels. Yes, Loomer is nuts, but her extremist views at times become mainstream GOP thinking.
Muslims are part of our nation’s fabric, just as Christians & Jews are. We’re all American. This bigotry needs to stop.

Attorney General Rob Bonta has been crushing the Trump Administration’s lawless overreach, winning over 80% of cases to protect California. I’m honored to have worked with him, and honored to receive this endorsement.

No one could have possibly predicted that allowing federal agents to wear ski masks & not identify themselves would lead to lawlessness.
This is just one of the reasons we passed legislation to ban this shit.

Today:
The U.S. Supreme Court allowed Trump to force trans people to misgender themselves on passports.
Also today:
The California Supreme Court ruled nursing homes can’t misgender trans residents, upholding a law I passed.
CA isn’t down with Trump’s dehumanization campaign against trans folks.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. In 1987, I was a closeted teenager terrified of a world that seemed determined to eliminate gay people. You used your platform in Congress to fight AIDS — to fight for people like me.

The housing crisis is squeezing young people and pushing working families out of San Francisco. I’ve dedicated my life to solving our housing crisis, and in Congress I’ll fight to build millions of homes, especially affordable homes, so that San Franciscans can afford to live here.

Calfiornia passed Prop 50 in a landslide & San Francisco led the way with 84.1% support — the highest support of any county. I’m so proud to be a San Franciscan & to represent this great city.

Turns out people don’t like extreme corruption, kicking people off health care, brutalization of immigrant families & tariff wars that spike inflation.
Next up: Congressional Republicans & Mad King Trump

Donald Trump fancies himself an expert on Jews. He loves pronouncing who’s a good Jew, bad Jew, smart Jew or dumb Jew.
Maybe he should instead focus on not being an antisemite, e.g., talking about “Shylock bankers,” dining with Nick Fuentes & trying to elect Nazis in Germany.

We need to pass Prop 50 today in CA to counter what Trump & TX are doing to gerrymander & steal the election. It’s a temporary measure & essential counter-balance. We also need to work on a federal law mandating all 50 states use independent redistricting commissions to draw congressional districts.

This is an astonishing act of cruelty, consistent with Trump & the GOP’s ongoing determination to deprive people of food & health care. Trump has every ability to keep full SNAP benefits going. He’s choosing not to do so out of pure spite.
JUST IN: Courts ordered SNAP payments to restart, and the Trump administration said Monday the food benefits would be half the normal payment. About 1 in 8 U.S. residents get an average of $187 a month per person on SNAP.
SNAP benefits will restart, but it will be half the normal payment

Let’s pass Prop 50 today.
Then let’s work toward a federal law mandating independent redistricting in all 50 states.
California responded — appropriately — with Prop 50 when Trump & Texas decided to cheat. But independent redistricting is the best approach & should be the law of the land.
