Congressman Khanna is right where the FUCK is Gavin, Shapiro, Pete, Pritzker, Whitmer???? OPPOSE WARMONGERING, IMPERIALISM AND OIL THEFT OR YOU CAN’T LEAD US IN 2028. SHAME on them.
Would love to see a journalist cover what the corrupt political machine in CA has done with the $200+ billion that was approved for high speed rail over a decade ago with absolutely nothing to show for it. @ryangrim@JessicaLBurbank@JordanUhl@kenklippenstein
Gerry Connolly asked 70 year old Rep. Stephen Lynch to take up his Oversight responsibilities until the next election. Lynch’s background is…colorful:
“Lynch was arrested for drunkenly attacking a group of Iranian students protesting U.S. intervention abroad”

Karen Bass spoke at the Directors Guild of America three months after taking office as Mayor of LA, in February of 2023. I already didn't think she could do the job, but she really confirmed it that night with these statements:
- She hadn't planned on running for Mayor. So, no forethought.
- She appeared to know NOTHING about the entertainment business. This is like the Mayor of Las Vegas knowing nothing about the casino business.
- She had not staffed her office yet. How do you not put that together before election day? She asked the crowd to recommend people, as if we were a live Craig's List.
- She seemed unable to move off her "homeless campaign" speak. She suggested that film productions give jobs to homeless people. Random homeless people, when our business, FULL of experienced, talented people, was hurting from the decrease in productions.
Karen Bass needs to resign immediately.
Seeing City officials in the press ignore the severe impacts of these budget cuts, especially the ones covering for their poor budget decisions to cut a majority of departments' budgets & even AFTER Chief Crowley told them about the impacts these cuts have had, is DISGRACEFUL.
