@bubbathefish Worst crime in CC is ICE kidnapping gardeners, carwashers and the sidewalk ice cream man and more…

One house turns into 10 homes in Palms, Los Angeles. (2018➡️2022)

Culver City just made it legal to build a corner building like this, which is illegal to build in nearly every zip code in America.

I’m proud to be endorsed by @nuhwunion who have led the charge for access to mental health treatment across California. Together, we’ll keep fighting for access and care for all.

Let’s all remember the $40 billion for Argentina as Trump shuts down SNAP for Americans.

SB79 is currently on @GavinNewsom's desk.

It’s a law that would speed up housing construction near transit and begin to address the massive housing crisis in our state. Passing it through the legislature was a huge victory for housing advocates and everyone who wants California to be affordable, who wants people to build lives and families and businesses here, and who wants to prove that Democrats can make hard calls and fucking govern.

The Mayor of Los Angeles, @KarenBassLA, caving to political pressure from NIMBYs, is asking the governor to veto it. It’s infuriating, honestly. She claims in her letter to the governor she’s all for more housing near transit and streamlining construction, a big wind up to all the classic “buts” about historic neighborhoods and community input and local zoning.

Those objections - endlessly litigated and addressed during the debate over the bill - are EXACTLY why California is in this mess and why it is so important that the governor sign this bill.

Right now, Los Angeles is on track to build less than a third of the housing we’ve promised to build, and yet the mayor says the state should just trust LA, even though it has completely blown it already. It's bullshit.

Meanwhile, families are priced out of California, and people are fleeing to red states, as Republicans say we can’t be trusted to govern the country, because we can’t even govern ourselves.

So I hope @GavinNewsom makes a big show of signing this bill, proudly, and stands up to the pressure, and makes it clear that he's behind this law 100 percent.

Yes it’s about housing - and that's really important - but it’s also about proving something bigger about Democratic leadership in California and beyond. COME ON, GAVIN, LET'S FUCKING GO.

It’s sick – the only thing the Trump administration is doing is raising costs and putting Americans' health at risk.

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

Bad decision, inscrutable explanation.

I am so proud of the @TexasHDC and the work that they’ve done. Their willingness to put themselves on the line to highlight the current assault on our democracy has set an example for what all of us have to do.

[Norman Ornstein @NormOrnstein]

Dear journalists: 50 Republican senators voted for an utter scoundrel, a serial liar and multiple offender as a prosecutor, who spits on legal and judicial integrity. Do not ever, ever refer to any of them as moderates, institutionalists, or anything other than cult members. 1

[Trump Lie Tracker (Commentary Account) @MAGALieTracker]

BREAKING: MSNBC just released a montage of Republicans who trashed Trump’s “one big beautiful bill” before caving and voting for it. Their hypocrisy is shameful. Retweet so every American sees this.

[Kerry Kennedy @KerryKennedyRFK]

We’re here in San Salvador, El Salvador, where at least 288 people have been kidnapped off the streets of the United States and flown to a foreign country, and are now being held in detention centers and prisons.

These are some of the most notorious detention centers and prisons in the world, known for torture.

I will be sharing updates from our trip here and on @RFKHumanRights’ channel.
