Hey, BART, something has to be done about the deficient Clipper Card website. I'm on hold, probably for an hour to ask why my credit card was charged for two unnecessary reloads in fishy amounts--not the normal amount.

Had the best weekend watching the extended and remastered LOTR trilogy with my adult son. Got the biggest kick out of a guy sitting in our row saying "I am no man" with Eowyn before she kills the Witch-King. He's a real fan!

Yes, where are they?
That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.
Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?

One reason why Republicans won't extend expiring ACA subsidies?
Koch-backed lobby groups have spent over $1.1M pressuring GOP lawmakers to let 20M Americans' health insurance costs go up.
Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Watched "A Face in the Crowd" tonight. Not your typical holiday fare, but man what a great performance by all the actors. Andy Griffith was spellbinding. This movie is about media manipulating the common man. So ahead of its time.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.
Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.
The system is broken.

The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans.
And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich.
Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.

Pritzker: Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: Once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process.
But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things.
That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.
