@repmarkdesaulnier.bsky.social Did you not oppose this bill? I donβt see your name on the list of opposing Dems. Why???????
If only we had an amendment to the Constitution that protected speech . . .
Starting November 1st, New Mexico will become the first state to offer free universal childcare to all its residents.
It's expected to save families over $12,000 per child annually.
This is a huge step forward β and a reminder that we have the power to fix the system.

If he builds his golden ballroom, how soon can it be torn down?
Indeed, letβs remember many of these heinous acts can be overturned. None of this despicable demolition of our government and values is unchangeable. But it requires ending his lawless regime & returning power to responsible leaders.
I'm not loving a country that pays its adults half as much to teach children to spell as it does to kidnap them.
Sad π’ & mad. π
Yes.
Yup. For sure.

Two of my friends died of cancer this week. One, lung cancer; the other, breast cancer. And two other friends celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary today. Joy and sorrow, woven fine.
We need high speed trains coast to coast.

I thought the same thing when I was there.

Ok, that's a wrap for using Uber.
A statement from Kamala D. Harris: Los Angeles is my home. And like so many Americans, I am appalled at what we are witnessing on the streets of our city. Deploying the National Guard is a dangerous escalation meant to provoke chaos. In addition to the recent ICE raids in Southern California and across our nation, it is part of the Trump Administrationβs cruel, calculated agenda to spread panic and division. This Administrationβs actions are not about public safety βtheyβre about stoking fear. Fear of a community demanding dignity and due process. Protest is a powerful tool β essential in the fight for justice. And as the LAPD, Mayor, and Governor have noted, demonstrations in defense of our immigrant neighbors have been overwhelmingly peaceful. I continue to support the millions of Americans who are standing up to protect our most fundamental rights and freedoms.
My statement on what's unfolding in Los Angeles.
I'm a breast cancer survivor. I'm likely to be a cancer patient again. I pray for cutting edge research to extend the time I have with my kids.
This breaks my heart.
It's going to lead to so much death.
Show us the whole list, please!

There's a twisted strategy behind Trump 2.0's assault on the national parks. It begins with breaking the most popular of the nation's public assets.
Read all about it in my latest Substack post, "DOGE-ing the national Parks: First, Break Them."
Thank you. Flying home to Walnut Creek next week β with some trepidation for the first time in a long life of flying.

Who needs a $400 million βpalace in the skyβ when you can have two or three dolls and a couple of pencils instead.
If members of the WH Press Corp donβt ask this question RELENTLESSLY they should turn in their badges.
The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents.
What the fuck are we doing here?
