At the Fine Line, I joined First Avenue's Dayna Frank and musician Cory Wong to highlight the need to pass the bipartisan NO FAKES Act.

I’ve known Haley Stevens since college. Back then, she ran for student president. I made the flyers. She made history. Now she’s running for Senate—and if this video doesn’t impress you, nothing will.

STRAIGHT UP AUTHORITARIANISM!!!

DOGE is secretly monitoring staff — scanning messages, watching for disloyalty— and using AI to do it.

No one should have to work under these conditions.

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act.

Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes?
Staffer: a DL and birth certificate.
Me: The documents don’t match
Staffer: Then a marriage certificate.
Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too?
Staffer: No
Me: See the problem?

I can’t believe they tried to get into Elementary schools. Really?!?! You big bad agents are going to go into schools to question 1st graders?

We have sunk so low as a county. I’m embarrassed, ashamed & so angry.
Homeland Security agents denied entry to 2 LAUSD elementary schools
LAUSD said the Homeland Security agents tried to enter two schools in South LA, but administrators turned them away earlier this week.

Trump’s lying about California water—again. Dude still has no clue how it works.

Truth is, he flushed billions of gallons & screwed farmers just to play hero for the cameras. Hope they don’t ask where their water went this summer—the clown they voted for dumped it.

There is no cease fire in Gaza.

There is no peace between Russia and Ukraine.

Egg prices are up.

The stock market is in free fall.

A trillion dollars hasn’t been cut from the federal budget.

Other than deporting innocent people, it’s hard to think of a “Day One Promise” that Trump has kept.

We are seeing this daily from way too many in Congress.

The GOP has completely given up their power to the Executive branch.

Every single one of them needs to be primaried.

Every Democrat should back @schiff.senate.gov and demand an investigation. Do what Republicans do: flood cable news, light up social & drop every detail you’ve got.

Republicans won’t hold hearings? Fine—hold your own. Do it in red districts. Live stream it and we’ll make it go viral.
