Just imagine if Robert Luna wasn’t our sheriff, and instead alex villanueva had won another term
Most people probably don’t think of the importance of voting for sheriff on their ballot, but you are seeing it right now

This is what we risk happening on the national level with the SAVED Act.
As predicted, women in New Hampshire had a hard time voting yesterday because of the new proof of citizenship law:
“It doesn’t have my married name on it,” she said. Town voting officials then sent her away a second time, to get her marriage certificate.

NH’s new ID requirements send some would-be voters home to grab passports, birth certificates
The law requires all new voters to show proof of their U.S. citizenship. For some, that meant making multiple trips to and from the polls before finally casting a ballot on Tuesday.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:
-FDA, which oversees Neuralink
-FAA, which oversees SpaceX
-USAID, which probed Starlink
-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.
"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"
