Why should Dems buy guns for Trump to point back at them?

Took a tour with @savesfbay to witness the rising sea levels threatening homes, parks, and businesses along the Hayward shoreline — but we’re taking action. Proud to keep fighting for federal investments that make our Bay Area more resilient and climate-ready.

Children deserve to feel safe at home & in school. This new bill I signed:

➡️ Bars childcare facilities & state preschools from collecting immigration info
➡️ Protects parents’ legal rights & kids’ security if separated

When you control all three branches of government like the GOP does and you pass legislation to give tax breaks to the rich who do not need it. And to help pay for it, you cut social services the middle class and poor desperately need. Given that reality, you own the shutdown.

I sometimes joke that I was trained by the jesuits.
As a punk rock dropout I met the bad-assed Michael Czerny who advised us about political organizing. He faced down death squads in El Salvador.
He married my wife and I.
He is the pope's right hand.

From drafting Leo's first apostolic exhortation to championing migrants and the planet, Cardinal Michael Czerny is shaping the moral heart of this papacy.

The level of kleptocratic corruption in this regime is breathtaking, e.g.:

—Selling off Freddie Mac & Fannie Mae to big banks

—Bribes from ABC & CBS

—TikTok sale to Ellison

—Everything Qatar: the plane gift, the Idaho military base

—Whoever has bribed him by buying his scam meme coins
