China is outpacing the U.S. in:

- renewable energy
- biotech research
- research and development
- manufacturing capabilities (AI chips)
- geopolitical influence

The U.S. leads in military spending.

China also holds a significant portion of U.S. debt. Trump is destroying us from within.

Imagine making six figures to not do anything you were entrusted to do.

…getting paid to not work while thousands of civil servants around you were getting fired.

…betraying those who counted on you to represent them, all to appease a wannabe dictator.

The GOP Congress is a helluva thing.

Trump’s $100,000 H-1B visa fee won’t just hurt Bay Area tech companies

OPINION: “If the H-1B process continues on the path of a $100,000 fee, I believe it will have similar lasting effects on the quality of our workers, our architecture and our engineering.”

YES ON 50, CALIFORNIA!

DEMOCRACY IS AT STAKE!

Turn your ballots in early!

Canvass! Phone Bank!

The Reformers

TRUMP LIT THE GERRYMANDERING FUSE

*Direct response to Trump’s push for red states like Texas to redraw their maps to disenfranchise Democrats and elect more Republicans

*Trump’s redistricting pressure campaign could net the GOP up to 12 unearned House seats

*CA Democrats are mirroring the GOP's power grab to keep the playing field from tilting entirely red

YES ON 50

TO CLAP-BACK

Today we honor the all Indigenous peoples whose wisdom, land, and spirit continue to guide us. May we walk with respect, gratitude, and humility remembering that every step we take is on sacred ground. And may we never forget the injustice done

Citizens & long-time US residents are being brutalized, detained & deported.
Paramjit Singh has a brain tumor & a heart condition, but because he used a public phone without paying 10 years ago they have detained him for 2 months and withheld medical care, and are deporting him.
