Three sad facts that shouldn’t be like this:

• Transport is one of the EU’s biggest sources of CO2
• Aviation emissions are still rising fastest

Yet travelling by train is five times cleaner than flying

My @smh @theage cartoon.

Single frame. Monochrome. Wasteland of rubble and detritus. Man greets woman through a door frame, the only structure in the scene.

One thing I love about vote by mail / ballot box drop off in CA, is that they email you once your vote is counted so there’s no stress it didn’t go through.

Today, I convened a group of former military generals and veterans to hear perspectives on deploying troops in American cities.

Their commitment is to our nation. That’s why they’re speaking out against what the President's doing as uncalled-for, unprecedented, and un-American.

Jesus said in Matthew 9:10 Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.

So this tells me that Doctors and Medicines are OKAY.👍

As promised, here's how I spent my gorgeous fall Saturday afternoon.

What I Saw at This Weekend’s Minnesota MAHA Fest Scared the Hell out of Me - Racket

Over 1,000 Christian opponents of modern medicine descended on Alexandria, MN, to testify that drugs, doctors, and Satan were making us all sick at the 7th annual Freedom Summit.

Yesterday was the Q3 FEC deadline. That means we found out how much money my opponents raised and who donated to them.

So how did we do? Well…

A surprise? NO.

"Grifter-in-Chief" Trump pardoned wealthy tax cheat Paul Walczak after Walczak's mother paid $1 million for dinner at Mar-a-Largo.

Term-limited Trump hosted a $1.5 million-per-plate fundraiser. For a 2028 campaign war chest?

I’ve talked about my beloved 98yr old father in law many times, he had vascular dementia, I’ve been his 24/7 caretaker for the last 6 mos, I know some people do this for years on end. I honestly didn’t realize what it would take out of me. He passed away peacefully at home as he wished on 10/10.

If you haven’t donated to a food bank recently, now is a good time to start.

My office and @governor.ny.gov won our lawsuit against the federal administration, protecting millions in MTA anti-terrorism funds.

This is a major victory for every commuter, every transit worker, and every family that relies on our subways, buses, and trains to travel safely.
