Emerald from Rancho Bernardo needed help with a delayed grant that threatened layoffs at UCSD’s Biodynamics Lab. My staff worked with Emerald and the NIH to determine the cause of the grant’s delay and within a month, the lab received their full grant funding!
You might have heard President Trump talk about the 'SAVE' Act as a way to combat voter fraud. But the truth is, voter fraud is vanishingly rare.
Instead, this bill would make it harder for married women, servicemembers, students, and low-income Americans to vote.
To honor her memory and spirit, I was grateful to be one of the primary supporters of the Becca Taylor Memorial Fellowship, which provides financial assistance to aspiring and passionate leaders to take political action. Read more about the Fellowship and apply today ⬇️
Becca Taylor was a fierce advocate for all, whether it was as the leader of the San Diego County Democratic Party or as a young organizer on the ground in our communities.
Paramount/Warner Bros is not a done deal.
These two Hollywood titans have not cleared regulatory scrutiny — the California Department of Justice has an open investigation, and we intend to be vigorous in our review.
This is the "Pro-Life" Party:
✅ forcing women to give birth (often in life-threatening situations)
❌ stopping kids (and others around them) from getting preventable diseases and dying from them
Mark Kelly: “In 1991, when Donald Trump was driving the Taj Mahal casino into backruptcy, I was getting shot at over Iraq and Kuwait. In 2001, after Donald Trump said the collapse of the Twin Towers meant he now owned the tallest skyscraper in Manhattan, I was carrying flags honoring 9/11 victims into space on a rocketship. In 2003, when Donald Trump was writing birthday greetings to the monster Jeffrey Epstein, I was the first on the scene to recover the bodies of my fellow astronauts who died when Space Shuttle Columbia exploded during re-entry. In 2011, when Trump was hosting a reality show and peddling conspiracy theories against President Barack Obama, I was sitting next to my wife’s hospital bed as she recovered from a gunshot wound to the head”
Georgia SD 35 Special General Election
All early votes are reported:
🔵 All Democrats - 9,055 (86.7%)
🔴 Joshua Tolbert (R) - 1,206 (11.5%)
The district was Harris +56 in 2024, so right now Democrats are on track for a 19 point overperformance.
Since everyone is asking:
No, this doesn't undo #Prop50. The trigger language was removed in the legislative process as it was clear that TX was redistricting. So, even if their map is invalidated/postponed, the Prop 50 maps stay in place.
For 40 days, President Trump and Republicans refused to negotiate a bipartisan budget deal that prevents healthcare costs from skyrocketing. In CA50, 28,000 people will face higher costs if we don't extend ACA tax credits. We cannot afford to wait, yet this deal does nothing to address this crisis.
We also have no assurance that the President won’t continue to disrespect and ignore appropriations law. He already did it, with no pushback from Speaker Johnson. How can we trust him to spend the funds as directed by Congress now?
When Speaker Johnson finally brings the House back into session on this, I'm voting no.
I'm so glad that students care enough to wait in this line, but it makes me sad for 2 reasons:
1) When I led @SOVACUCSD 2015-16 (and helped thru 2019), we registered students to vote during move-in & door-to-door (and encouraged vote-by-mail when it wasn't automatic).

🚨I just received exclusive footage of Gen Z voters lined up at the UC San Diego campus in California. Young people are excited about Prop 50 and will help fight back against Trump and MAGA. The line is HUGE.
Yes, people can vote as long as they're in line before 8:00pm when the polls close, but they shouldn't have to wait.
How many waited but left the line without voting because it was already taking too long (and they had class, work, or other commitments)?

The Trump administration has a rainy day fund that will keep SNAP from expiring in November. Trump is refusing to use it.
Funding SNAP isn't a choice he can make. It's a legal obligation. @USDA must release the funds and stop punishing the American people.
