The American people deserve a public health system that puts science before politics.

That's why California and 14 other governors are joining forces to launch the Governors Public Health Alliance to protect communities and guarantee decisions are rooted in data and health.

This is what you get for a $50k bribe to award contracts to "Federalized" private bounty hunters.

Now let's all stop wondering if he took the $50k in the bag.

Remember how MAGA told us Javier Milei would fix Argentina's economy with his right-wing policies?

And now we are bailing out Argentina with billions.

Remember how MAGA told us Donald Trump would save US farmers with his right-wing policies?

And now we are bailing them out with billions also.

True.

But none of those actually put people in power, even if they have all the money to try/buy influence.

There's still ONE thing that is so powerful, and it's only ask is to not be stupid...

Elections aren’t every 4 years or every 2 years, they’re every year. In California we have a special election for prop 50 and it’s a YES. If Texas can gerrymander then we should be able to. I know my comments will be filled with bots, but I won’t be intimidated. Our democracy is vanishing❤️
