This seems more like a problem for California voters than for Johnson. Kiley simply using the term independent to trick less informed voters into voting for him. He will most likely still follow Johnson’s lead.

Congress must act and refuse to provide any additional funding for this unconstitutional war.

I do not like this gen AI
I do not like what it implies
I do not want it in my art
I do not think it makes you smart
I do not want it in my games
I do not like its goals and aims
I do not want it in my books
I do not like the way it looks
I do not like it, I don't care
I do not want it anywhere

the war is not "aimless." It is corrupt, unjust and immoral.

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

This isn’t a bad article and I appreciate the product reviews, but why the odd Instagram fans headline? Doesn’t do the piece justice.

Yes. My Paralympian gold medal winning wife says the same. She played ( ow coaches) wheelchair basketball. After that gold medal game you’re sad but then you celebrate that hard won silver! The solo athlete flat out wins silver. Both are awesome. πŸ₯‡πŸ₯ˆπŸ₯‰
