In the past month the most common call I've received is elected officials asking why they aren't in the @Political_Data system.

And it's because of a really dumb law that passed last year, AB 1392 which makes all candidate and elected official voter information confidential unless they opt-in to having it be public.

I have literally had legislators who voted for that bill call and ask me why they can't find themselves in the PDI... and I'm like, "well, because you voted for the bill."

The last place I wanna be is on a text chain with a bunch of former Biden Administration officials.

The first text, every day, should be: “How are we all feeling about covering up the deteriorating condition of our President that whole time? Was protecting our jobs really worth it? Are we the ones actually responsible for the Trump second term?”

And then, after dozens of responses about how irresponsible they all acted due to their self-interest… “LOL, Becerra”

Give me a break.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

It was great talking to Stephen and the inspiring young people we’ve worked with at the @ObamaFoundation on the @ColbertLateShow.

When the Obama Presidential Center opens this June 19, my hope is that this will be a place where people can come together to meet, learn, and work with each other to create change in their communities. Learn more at https://t.co/ahkDMKalIn.
