It's been less than a week since Pearson announced his run for U.S. Congress, but the campaign is already garnering national attention and support from groups who want younger politicians in office.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.

Vaccines are safe and effective.

Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.

When you want information, ask your doctor.

It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

🔴🇺🇦 Four UN-OCHA trucks carrying humanitarian aid came under Russian drone & artillery fire in Bilozerka, Kherson region, this morning.

One vehicle burned down, one was heavily damaged. Nobody was injured, which Kherson governor Oleksandr Prokudin calls a miracle.
