I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

Several people wrote in about insurers leaving the healthcare.gov marketplace, which gives people fewer options. A man from Berkley sent me this letter he received from his provider that is leaving the marketplace.

The ‘Peace President’ killed six more people off the coast of Venezuela this morning. We have no evidence other than his word that they were a threat to anyone, anywhere and also release the Epstein files. Thank you for your attention in this matter!

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

Very proud of Denver International Airport for refusing to show insane bullshit partisan propaganda from the federal government in our beloved airport.

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

California, we need you to get those ballots returned with a YES on Prop 50. A lot is going on. Stay focused. Help others remember to vote too.

Wait, now Watergate was a "HOAX"?

It's one of the most documented, scrutinized and reviewed crimes in U.S. history. Nixon resigned because of it, after Republican senators told him he had to go or be removed. People did prison time.

Who is dumber than Donald J. Trump? His supporters.
