First it was the Rose Garden and now it’s the East Wing. During the four years I worked at the WH it was a thrill and an honor to take my family and friends on private tours of the “People’s House .” This is just heartbreaking.

In June of 1974 I received my 1st White House pass. For all this time it's been untouched. Saturday, when I returned home, upset by the latest news, I discovered that Desi, the 77 lb giant puppy had decided to put things in perspective for me. He found this souvenir & decorated it with teeth marks!

No Kings rally and march ready to start in San Diego, CA. I’m happy to see lots of young people and a big crowd standing up for California.

“This is what democracy looks like.”
It was great to see thousands of people marching through the streets of downtown San Diego. Even if trump doesn’t care, congresspeople who have been ignoring their constituents & supporting trump/musk would be wise to take notice.

I hope everyone had the opportunity to listen to @booker.senate.gov speaking (with help from his colleagues ) about the damage trump is doing to the US. Take the time to listen to some clips. It’s good to see Democrats taking a stand.

I have been an activist Democrat for a long time, but if the party keeps finding excuses to not fight Trump & Musk as they work to destroy our country I can't support them
.
@schumer.senate.gov it's time to make the GOP bear the blame for a shutdown & make sure vets get the healthcare they deserve.

My Dad was proud of his service in Korea. As he got older he depended on the VA for his healthcare & prescriptions. It was a promise the US made to the people who sacrificed to protect us. Now Trump & Musk want to change that.

The chart below was released by Musk to show recipients of Social Security who are over 100 yo.
But I did the math!
The people over 100 only equal 5% of the total. Of those, 99K are legitimate SS recipients. At least 1% are likely due to clerical errors.
Does that seem like rampant fraud?

Cruelty in action…Kristi Noem, proud 14 mo puppy killer, has been confirmed as Secretary of Homeland Security. This department includes borders & immigration enforcement, & responses to natural and manmade disasters. This will provide lots of opportunities to cause pain.

I have long been a supporter of the ADL, giving them both money & time. We gave trump the benefit of the doubt 8 years ago, but he quickly showed us his true self.
Musk has proclaimed his support for the AfD in Germany, so he gets no grace from me for his Nazi salute.
Goodbye ADL.

The world is about to change. Before I can start to face those changes I want to say "THANK YOU" Mr. President and Madam Vice President. You brought fairness and decency back to the people's house. I will always be proud of voting for each of you!

Two old right wing actors who have no credibility in Hollywood (or most of CA), and one who’s little bit younger and a lot more loudly antisemitic get appointed as envoys to Hollywood.

Here is some truth!
I’ve been living in Southern California for 46 years and the climate and weather have changed drastically while I’ve lived here. There were wildfires before, one of my friends lost her house in 2003, but the magnitude of destruction has increased exponentially.

When we first moved to San Diego in 1978 it rained most winters. Fire season was usually September & October but there were only a few big wildfires each year. Now fire season is year round & the fires seem to be much more devastating. Climate change is real & deadly!

One more reminder about January 6, 2021 especially for Jews who support Trump. There were people in the crowd at the Capitol wearing antisemitic shirts, because no matter what they are protesting, there will always be people who blame us.
