The author, a convicted felon, is a very adept liar as well. But he is a charmer!

Being a congressperson means answering hard questions and showing up for your constituents.
You can ask me your questions at any of the upcoming debates, our town halls, or on one of my daily voter calls.

Today, Michelle and I are proud to announce that we will be hosting the dedication ceremony for the Obama Presidential Center on June 18th in Chicago, and welcoming the public on June 19th.
We can’t wait for you to visit. Go to obama.org to learn more.
wow -- Tillis goes ballistic on Noem, telling her "what we've seen is a disaster under your leadership"
If you have the courage to confront all of our past — the good and the bad, the hopeful and the messy — history has the power to inform a better future.
A year ago, I stood before you and asked a provocative question:
After we have discriminated against, disparaged, and deported all our immigrant neighbors — and the problems we started with remained.
What comes next?
My message remains the same a year later.
We don’t have kings in America, and I won’t bend the knee to one.
Honoring President Lincoln’s birthday in Illinois today.
Ansara was found guilty of conspiracy to commit fraud. After his activist days, he became a slick crook who was fired by the Democratic National Committee during the Democratic National Convention. Didn’t help Al Gore at all and was found guilty of “coercion” by the NLRB for a bogus union contract.
In the 90s, he told the Time Magazine his illegality was “serendipity.” Now he says it was a “midlife crisis.” I guess his “midlife crisis” coincided with his wife’s. He certainly did Gore no favors, most midlife crisis don’t influence national elections. Found guilty of conspiracy to commit fraud!
Sadly, after his activist years, he became a convicted felon, and his company was fired by the Democratic National Committee during the Democratic National Convention. Not an honorable or reliable person.
We're moving on up in Illinois.
Proud to be home to a thriving film industry that keeps on growing, Chicago is now ranked #3 in the nation as the best place to live and work as a movie maker.
Tonight on @siriusxmprog.bsky.social #127

@frankconniff.bsky.social & I take your calls at 866.997.GRIT.
ALSO, John Lee Hooker Jr & Mike Campbell, lead guitarist for Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers!
This isn't about democratizing the news. It's about elevating "vibes" and "feelings" to be on par with lived experience and subject-matter expertise.
HE shouldn’t! Ansara was charged with conspiracy to commit fraud and only avoided prison by paying a huge fine. He glosses over his felonious and lucrative activities in his new book stating he had a midlife crisis lol. He opened renewed scrutiny due to his lack of honesty. George you can do better!
No Beth, I’m sure @georgetakei.bsky.social doesn’t want to give his money to a convicted felon who is also anti-union. He scuddled his 60s activist bona fides big time. The man is a crook. Ansara was already fired by the DNC once. She should not disillusion another generation of activists.
Our students are California’s future—our nurses, engineers, scientists, teachers, and more. UC-Merced students recently shared their thoughts with me on our state’s direction and how Donald Trump’s decisions are hurting their classmates and campus.
Perhaps it’s “good trouble” to point out that Michael is a convicted felon whose firm The Share Group was fired by the DNC DURING the convention to elect Gore. #donorgate certainly helped tip the scales to W.
His conspiracy to commit fraud certainly didn’t help the Gore campaign. Why would we listen to this felon now?
Why are we listening to a convicted felon’s thoughts on effective, above board activism when we are fighting a felon? He certainly didn’t help Al Gore at all.
Prop 50 is about deciding that Donald Trump is going to be accountable to the democracy—to each one of us.

@audiosand.bsky.social and another colleague realized they are dressing as Diane Keaton to mourn her, aka “Keatoning.”

Still waiting for a solution that protects family owned, small businesses in the Castro.

I thought this was a joke, but I just watched a video of Mike Johnson saying this, omg. This country is wearing me out.
