This is where the fun begins.

We may not have the money, but we have the movement and the momentum.

Let's finish this, California.

Today, I signed an Executive Order temporarily repealing bedtimes in the City of New York so that kids of all ages can watch our team in the NBA Finals.

As Mayor, you’re forced to make many difficult decisions. This was not one of them.

Go Knicks.

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

🚨 Every Republican present in the House Appropriations Committee last night voted to make THEMSELVES eligible to collect from Trump's $1.8 billion January 6th slush fund. I am not making this up.

I introduced an amendment to stop Members of Congress, the President, and the Vice President from collecting a single dollar from Trump’s slush fund unless a court actually orders it.

Every single Republican who cast a vote was AGAINST my amendment, making themselves eligible for settlement funds.

Members of Congress, the President, and the Vice President, have no business lining their own pockets by claiming they were victims of government weaponization. Trump set up this fund, now MAGA Republicans in Congress are ensuring they all can collect from it.

That is exactly the kind of self-dealing corruption the American people are sick of.

Lupito Nyong’o broke her silence on the racist backlash surrounding her casting as Helen of Troy in “The Odyssey," a woman who is said in the myth to be the most beautiful woman in the world. Nyong'o said she wasn’t letting the backlash affect her or her experience and dismissed concerns that a Black woman couldn’t play the role.

“This is a mythological story.”

Ah yes. The way to reel in the film industry folks in LA to vote for Spencer Pratt is to replace actors and editors with AI.

Great job. No notes.

Our public libraries are a testament to government's ability to deliver excellent free services. But for too long, they've been forced to fight for budget scraps.

This year, we are changing that: I am proud to announce $31.7 million in new funding for our libraries.

Expect more staff, expanded hours, robust programming, and lots of copies of the Very Hungry Caterpillar for New York's Cutest.

It’s HA-vee-air. Xavier. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

The final ep of Moonlighting aired OTD in 1989, and went full meta. Bruce Willis & Cybill Shepherd race to save their own characters, David & Maddy, from cancellation, because when the show ends they'll literally cease to exist. It even admits why Moonlighting ultimately failed

JON FAVREAU: “I’d like to thank the California Film Commission, allowing us to have a tax incentive here, and allowing us to be the first Star Wars film ever to be made in Los Angeles.”

[Xavier Becerra @XavierBecerra]

If we want kids ready for college and careers, we can’t wait until high school to start helping them succeed.

That means investing in early childhood education, preparing kids before kindergarten, and reducing class sizes so every student gets the attention they deserve. The California Dream starts in the classroom.
