You don’t need context, just enjoy the visuals. And don’t forget the lower-third.

Fellow Californians - it’s time we flex our proverbial muscle and counter Texas’ actions.
I’ve already received mailers against it, so make sure people have accurate information and encourage them to vote YES on #Prop50.
Vote November 4th like the country depends on it. Because it might.

Good morning America,
June 14th marks two birthdays - one of service, one of self. One sworn to defend the Republic, the other sworn to himself. On this day, we rise not against a date, but a delusional man.
Be peaceful but loud. Do not be intimidated.

Today is the 80th anniversary of VE
Day, the unconditional surrender of Nazi Germany.
We take for granted that the outcome of that war was not known in the moment, just as we do not know the outcome of the fight for democracy in this moment.
I hope good prevails now as it did then.

Mikhail Khodorkovsky was once Russia’s richest man—until he crossed Putin. Arrested, assets seized, a decade in prison.
A reminder to billionaires cozying up to the regime: authoritarian leaders use you until you’re a threat. Then they crush you. Wealth can protect you for a time. Then it can’t.

There's a propaganda tactic called Accusations in a Mirror. It's exactly what it sounds like: accusing your opponents of doing exactly what you're doing. It's not just hypocrisy-it's a deliberate weapon to confuse, divide, and incite.

Understanding Accusations in a Mirror is crucial. It’s not some fringe theory—it’s a red flag of authoritarianism. We’ve seen this tactic before. We know where it leads. Naming it is the first step in breaking the spell.

Great turnout today in Grass Valley. Our small rural community really showed up to have our voices heard.
Let this be the first of many. United we stand, divided we fall.

To anyone that lives in CA-03, there are three separate Hands Off! events today in Kevin Kiley’s district (Roseville, Auburn, Grass Valley).
Make your voices heard, especially in Placer County. That’s where we need to cut away at his support.

Nothing to see here, folks - just six B-2 bombers lined up at the remote island base at Diego Garcia.
They don’t roll these out unless they need to hit a country with advanced air defenses (e.g. Iran).
Or maybe they wanted to move $12B in planes for fun.

Mango Mussolini’s stock is listed on the NASDAQ, as are all the major tech companies. As of 12pm Pacific, every major NASDAQ stock is down, yet his is up?
He caused this crash, yet he’s somehow making money on it? Am I missing something?

Plain messaging that cuts right to the core of an issue that affects both red and blue households alike.
By the way, still waiting on that in-person town hall, Rep. Kiley ⏰
