@keithmeredith @DrAlexTatem How does taking it off the list of scheduled substances change any of this?

@DrAlexTatem I have legislation sailing thru the California legislature that would do de-schedule it here the second the federal govt does so. Let’s go!

[Point of Order Podcast @pointoforderpod]

Assemblymembers @joshua_hoover and @Patterdude discuss a number of topics including the US World Cup win, an ongoing budget fight between Newsom and Senate Democrats, their post-primary election reactions, the SpaceX IPO, and other stories of the week.

@AsmDems Of those that didn’t have prepared, required canned speeches written by Dem comms team… More dems spoke against the budget than Dems spoke in favor

$3.2 billion taken out of healthcare to balance budget, $3.9 billion stolen from schools, $688 million in debt paid to fed govt for unemployment fraud loan, $14 billion out of reserves, sales tax on apps and software… gas tax increase in 2 weeks.

But bravo! 🙌

Today I was sitting in health committee. And 3 of my colleagues called me at same exact time

I text- ask if everything is ok

Apparently they had a bet on who I’d answer for…

None of them took the bet, as one of them said, that I’d be savage enough to not answer any of them 🤣

[Joe Patterson @Patterdude]

Maybe just get separate houses, and hang out when you want.

[CalTax @CalTax]

The Assembly voted to approve billions in new taxes that will increase costs for California consumers, employers, and innovators. The tax hikes now move to the state Senate.

James will chart his own path, under Doug’s legacy. But one thing is very clear, it’s sad to see partisan politics lump people of the North State in with those folks on the coast. Both the coast and North State deserve their representation. They are much different places. But there is a single person who can represent both. And that is James…. Not the guy who drew the district for himself. Choose the selfless servant, not the politician who rigged the seat for his own benefit. Re-elect James!

[Joe Patterson @Patterdude]

It was so great to watch my friend @J_Gallagher4CA participate in a ceremonial swearing-in for Congress. No one is better at this moment for the north state than James. I’m really proud of him and thankful he has Janna by his side!

[Joe Patterson @Patterdude]

Just a few days before Doug LaMalfa passed away, I sat on a panel with him. I remember asking Doug… “Why are you continuing to run in this gerrymandered district?” He said to me “Because I can’t abandon my people.”

[Joe Patterson @Patterdude]

Can someone let my colleagues know?

[Joe Patterson @Patterdude]

The non-partisan Legislative Analyst just said the governor’s budget is not sustainable. Expressed deep concern.

[Joe Patterson @Patterdude]

@paulmitche11 @jodihicks I was just having this convo w someone else the other night… about you guys in response to my tweet

[Joe Patterson @Patterdude]

After billing medi-cal for most of their services, California gifts this “nonprofit” tens of millions of dollars due to those “cuts.”

I’m not sure there is a nonprofit out there that gets more direct assistance from the state government than planned parenthood.

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

I met with the Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California to discuss the impacts of funding cuts and how I can support their mission to continue providing lifesaving reproductive healthcare across our state.

[Joe Patterson @Patterdude]

@paulmitche11 @jodihicks 🤣

@heyjlynn I legit like the Spanish. That guy gets all excited during his play calling so you can figure out what is actually going on. The US guys are analyzing every touch and it’s almost painful.

[Joe Patterson @Patterdude]

I have no idea what he’s saying, but it is 100% better watching the World Cup in Spanish. Also amazing the US is dominating. First time I’ve seen them w this swagger.

[Joe Patterson @Patterdude]

@DougOse I’m not sure what you mean by that, but the US is bigger than all the top teams in the world by a huge magnitude.
