Shout-out to Bernie Sanders and AOC for doing a town hall about the shutdown on CNN last night.

Very clear messaging from both of them that others should learn from.

NEW @motherjones.com: Nobody in that GOP group chat praising Hitler or making racist comments was a “kid,” as JD Vance claimed today

I tracked down their ages. (Weirdly, it seems nobody else did.)

Eight of the 11 in the group chat range from 24 to 35. Ages of others are unclear.

But… no “kids”!

After all the debate, one question remains:

Do we want to be the generation that had the power to save our democracy and refused to use it?

Or do we want to be the one that did?

Prop 50 is the answer. Vote YES on Prop 50.
