Growing up the son of two cops, I remember what it was like watching my mom have to figure out which bills to pay.
I know what families are up against right now, and that’s why I’m focused on bringing down costs and making life affordable again for working class folks.

I count three that would be related to Colorado River Compact water, one metro area that had a major drought post-2000 that's not where most people would expect, and one I know already has ground water/long-term potable water concerns.

California Governor Gavin Newsom's attacks on Donald Trump have made him a darling of the national Democratic party. But Scout Garcia-Shapiro, a Los Feliz barista who hosts a podcast about boba tea and says that she usually votes Democratic, says that their aggressive nature makes her uneasy.

New details on Trump’s audit of MN child care $$ (which also threatens care nationally).
They’re targeting providers and recipients across funding streams
We should ensure these $$ are used properly. But this DOGE-style pause w/new data sweeps creates chaos and hurts families.

Grok has generated sexual images of minors after following prompts by users on X. The images were then posted publicly on X.
This is not the first time Grok has been used to produce abusive materials.
Earlier this year, the Pentagon paid $200 million for a contract to add Grok to its AI services.

Mike Johnson-for one-is very polite. Yet his policies will likely kill millions of Americans. Cutting Medicaid and failing to extend the ACA subsidies alone will cause over 51,000 to die. Per year
He should be forever hiding in shame. Instead-he’s House Speaker
