We are heartbroken by the attack at Bondi Beach that targeted the Jewish community during a Hanukkah celebration, as families gathered to mark a sacred holiday.

Now and always, we condemn this act of antisemitic violence, and violence in all its forms.

I'm concerned the folks don't seem to know that there is a whole ass album of Hanukkah folk songs written by Woodie Guthrie.

Woody Guthrie's Happy Joyous Hanukkah by the Klezmatics.

As Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis stated in 1933; “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.”

Today, at a time of unprecedented income & wealth inequality, his words ring truer than ever.

As it turns out, the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun *isn’t* a good guy with a gun—it can be a good guy *without* a gun. Just another NRA lie.

During an evening celebration, Jewish families in Australia were horrifically gunned down in a vile act of terror.

California’s heart is with Australia as we stand with the Jewish community worldwide against a rising tide of antisemitic violence and hate.

Antisemitism has no place in our world.

Rand Paul on mid-decade redistricting: "I think it's gonna lead to more civic tension & possibly more violence in our country. Think about it: if 35% of Texas is solidly Democrat & they have 0 representation, how does that make Democrats feel? I think it makes them feel they're not represented"

As you know In the run up to Christmas and Easter I always try and post a few of the weird and wonderful Victorian/Edwardian cards and postcards. Of them all however, this offering from Raphael Tuck and Sons must be the most sinister!

Rand Paul: "The president also said, 'Be careful Colombia, you could be next.' I mean, if we're gonna go and topple regime after regime in South America, there's no amount of money that could be printed to pay for that and I don't think lives should be lost without a vote by Congress."

Tyson is shutting down its Lexington, Nebraska plant in January 2026. That’s 3,200 workers gone in one shot, the largest plant shutdown in company history.

Blame Trump’s tariff chaos and the lowest cattle inventories in decades. Tariffs jack up costs. Supply shrinks. Plants close. Towns hollow out.
