From trailblazers like Jackie Robinson and Octavia Butler, to the proud historic community of Altadena, California's 28th District has a rich Black history paved by incredible leaders, past and present, who have broken barriers and changed our nation for the better.

Happy Black History Month.

The Trump administration's unnecessary deployment of National Guard troops in our cities wasted $496 million in 2025, and could waste even more money if it's not stopped.

Congress must take action and make it clear: No troops on our streets.
Trump's National Guard deployments could cost over $1 billion this year, CBO projects
The operation in Washington, D.C. alone is projected to cost upwards of $660 million if it runs through the end of this year as expected, according to new data released by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.

Federal agents ARE NOT exempt from state criminal law.

Will your DA step up and prosecute if ICE commits state crimes?

This is the "gun" that Trump, Noem, Bovino, and every other administration official claims the victim was brandishing that justified him being pushed, tackled, shot, and killed.

A phone.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.

"Please get the truth out about our son."
Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti “We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

More than anything, we really need to fix our healthcare system in this country.
Insurance is not healthcare. It’s pay care.

Well, here I am. Still not believing TT is really gone and knowing if it comes back it will be compromised by the tangerine. Guess I’ll rot my brain via Candy Crush and RedNote as I won’t be going back to Meta.
