You will read countless times today that the LA mayor cut the LA Fire Department's budget by $23 million.
That is a lie.
The budget was actually *increased* by $50 million.

I, like many of you, have been contemplating our predicament since election night.
We are in a losing war for our democracy and I'm not sure we collectively know who our true adversary is.
It's not the voting blocks...white women, Latinos, Gen X. It's not MAGA. It's not even Trump.

Really weird thing to say as you sit in front of a wall covered in flags
Trump's nominee for Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth: "The left and progressives used allegiance to state, they used patriotism as a vehicle to untether us from timeless truth, from the Bible. The cross and the bible were replaced by a flag and a pledge.”

Not sure which is worse -- that Trump and Gabbard and half the GOP are Russian assets or that more than half of U.S. citizens don't care.
Trump has convinced MAGA that siding with the enemy, demolishing democracy and the United States is somehow patriotic.

Support for Trump’s tariffs means higher prices on everything. Gas, food, housing, everything.
Every politician should be asked if they support higher prices on everything due to Trump’s tariffs.

If we didn’t believe the US was worth saving we’d simply move on and ignore you. Believe in the you that we believe you can be, not the you they are telling you to be. Being brave doesn’t mean not being afraid, it means standing up to evil and injustice even when you are afraid.

I graduated high school in 1984. It was a glorious time. It’s also the year the movie “Red Dawn” came out. It’s a time in this country when we all knew the Soviet Union/Russia was our enemy. I still know that. I haven’t changed in that regard.
