Actively pursuing my mother’s description of me during a conversation when I was in college, “J: your elevator goes to the top floor, but the carpeting up there is not wall to wall!”

If your house of worship is silent about the cruelty and the attacks on your neighbors by ICE, you’re at the wrong church, mosque, synagogue, temple, or gurdwara.

Callers to Social Security wait for hours to get help. Hear their ordeals.
Millions of seniors and disabled people call Social Security’s 1-800 number every month. What they experience is often maddening.

California – this Election Day, vote yes on Prop 50.
California’s Prop 50 says that if Republicans are going to abuse the system to try and hang onto power, we’re going to counteract that abuse and create a level playing field in the midterm elections.

Trump is planning to illegally withhold food assistance from those in need, including 50,000 households in my district.
Choosing to let Americans go hungry while you build yourself a $350 million ballroom is a distortion of values.

SNAP benefits help children. Republicans don't care as long as their billionaire patrons get the tax breaks promised in Trump's Big Ugly Bill. Republicans need to get back to work and convene with Democrats to protect Americans.

Age matters, but youth alone isn’t a virtue. Experience doesn’t equal corruption, and “new” doesn’t mean better.
Get to know your candidates during the primary, and if you find out they’re not the one— next, please.

Voters should pick their representatives, not the other way around. Glad to get the chance to talk to some of the volunteers and organizers doing the hard work to make sure Prop 50 passes. This vote will have critical implications, not just for California, but for our entire country.

So let me get this straight…
Republicans call Democrats violent, terrorist, lawless, and so much more, but we aren’t the ones constantly wreaking havoc on this country.
Just today, a man Trump pardoned for storming the Capitol was arrested for threatening to kill Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
