I’m disgusted by the photos of Ttump’s demolition at the East Wing, but I’m even more sickened by the renderings of his mar-a-lago ballroom dwarfing our White House. Once we’re rid of this despicable man, that ballroom must also be removed.

One of many reasons California leads the way: Every UC campus is home to business incubators providing mentorship turning budding ideas into tomorrow’s biggest companies. UC’s earn more U.S. utility patents than any other university system + we lead the nation in patents per capita.

Dems should fight on every front.
If Texas steals 5 seats, Dem states should redistrict 30 GOP members out of their districts.
We should insist DOJ release the entire Epstein File.
Not only shouldn't we bring knives to a gun fight, if they bring pistols, we should bring machine guns.

We’re suing the Trump Administration over its illegal attempt to defund Planned Parenthood in the reconciliation law.
Federal funds don't pay for abortions.
This is purely retaliation against Planned Parenthood that will wreak havoc on healthcare services across the nation.

Senators are pushing for a fire sale of over 3 million acres of public lands—that’s an area larger than Connecticut. Families would lose access to some of their favorite trails and parks close to home. Once the land is sold and the no-trespassing signs go up, there is no going back.
