Santa Clara County passed Meas A to fund hospitals after trump slashed their budgets. CA passed Prop 50 to offset Don's dirty deeds (or is it dirty Don's deeds) in Texas. Both over performed with help from @sccdp-dem-chair.bsky.social, @southbayswingleft.bsky.social & @fieldteam6.org

Savoring yesterday’s sweep by Dems nationwide! Biggest (and best) surprise: Mikie Sherrill winning the NJ gov race by 13 points — in what “experts” called a toss-up.
Grateful for the work and friendship of @sccdp.bsky.social, @southbayswingleft.bsky.social & @fieldteam6.org.

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter.

He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.
