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.

Not sure why the focus is on middle aged women at the No Kings rallies. From my observation, there is a healthy mix of young and old.
But maybe the reason there are so many middle aged women protesting is because we see the future and it looks a lot like the past we struggled to overcome.

“Destruction of federal property is a federal crime.”
Yeah, well, looks like Trump just committed one with a $300 million price tag and a bulldozer. If any other American did this, they’d already be in handcuffs. Trump is immune and he knows it.
