Civil trial lawyer for half a century on both sides of the Bar - still practicing full-time. Selected as a "Superlawyer" 13 times. Unashamedly liberal. I stand for human rights.
This is a 22 minute speech - nothing short of beautiful. It’s well worth taking the time to hear a man who is so fundamentally decent talk about his own personal history and his goals for the America he loves so fervently. He would make a great Senate leader.

"How Can I Help?"
That's the question I've asked Californians up and down our state this year. I reflected on those that I've met and the challenges ahead as I mark one year in the Senate.

5 minutes, 41 seconds well worth the time to get a glimpse of the decline of 45-47. It's not going to get better, and the bevy of political thugs trailing him (Miller, Vance, Rubio, Bondi, RFK Jr., Noem, Gabbard, Lutnick, Kushner, Don Jr., Eric) are hardly helping.

Sooner or later, we’re gonna get him. Sooner or later, he’s going to step far enough over the line that we’ll be able to
Be able to take him down. I don’t know what issue it will be, but his SCOTUS granted immunity won’t be enough to prevent the end of his reign of political terror.
Be able to take him down. I don’t know what issue it will be, but his SCOTUS granted immunity won’t be enough to prevent the end of his reign of political terror.
It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

For those who tire of my political ranting, I've posted a series of some of the best R+B songs of the 60's, all of which feature Steve Cropper on guitar. Cropper passed away at age 04 just the other day.
Anyone who doesn't enjoy these classics has a hole in his soul.
