Is anyone in Congress going to call the President out for literally wasting taxpayer money on his vanity campaign ad? This is ILLEGAL! Don’t touch our taxpayer $. Use your own PAC $!!

[Jackie Speier @RepSpeier]

I second Assemblywoman Stefani’s call for the immediate release of her staffer Ho Yin Mo, a legal employee and valued public servant. It’s reprehensible that DHS is abusing its authority and terrorizing law-abiding Californians.

Finally, the media has found its backbone!

Thank you to our labor workforce for delivering public health, public safety, and essential services in San Mateo County every day!

[Jackie Speier @RepSpeier]

This Labor Day, I want to give special thanks to our labor partners who have been standing with us to fight for funding we are owed by the State of California for services to our residents.

[Jackie Speier @RepSpeier]

They traveled with us to Sacramento to testify in front of the budget committees, stood with us at two large press conferences and rallies, and continue to send letters and make calls to the Newsom administration.

I had the good fortune to know her. As a young candidate for Congress with little chance to win, she came to California to campaign for me. Gloria Steinem truly rests in power.

[Jackie Speier @RepSpeier]

Calling her an icon does not do her justice. Gloria Steinem was the most powerful force moving women out of the shadows and out of the shackles of discrimination & disregard. She pushed the envelope and forced society to recognize that women were not chattel & not born yesterday.

Here is my August recap, good news and bad news.

We celebrated a milestone of legislation I authored in 2005 when I was in the State Senate: 20 million organ donors have saved or healed 600 million lives!
It’s remarkable that 1 person’s donation can save up to 8 lives and improve another 75 lives.

I am still red hot mad that the State of California has not kept its promise to San Mateo County taxpayers. This is money our residents are owed - not a favor, not a bailout. Read @supervisormueller and my piece in @calmatters

Powerful words by a Marin teen who almost lost her life in an e-bike accident when she was 15.

The idea of a data center at the San Mateo County Event Center is stupid and dead on arrival. It won’t happen. https://t.co/nr3ADnNeye

[Jackie Speier @RepSpeier]

Take a surgeon’s word for it, e-bike injuries can be devastating. As Dr. Blake Taylor says in this opinion piece, you don’t want your child or teen to end up on his operating table.

Maine Democrats—Time to draft Heather Cox Richardson to run for the Senate!

[Jackie Speier @RepSpeier]

Meanwhile, enjoy the 4th and keep the faith.

[Jackie Speier @RepSpeier]

As we celebrate the 250th birthday of our nation, I have a few thoughts to share with you. We are a great country. Most democracies do not exist for more than 200 years.

[Jackie Speier @RepSpeier]

SO, what do we do? We mobilize like our Minutemen did. We reject the monarchy that acts with impunity. We demand that term limits be imposed on the Supreme Court. We protect polling places around the country during the midterms.
