America is facing a declining birth rate (1.7) which poses challenges for our future. Instead of trying to make it more affordable to raise children, Trump is trying to force women to bear more children. This is not the future I want for my kids. npr.org/2025/08/07/nx-…

Horrifying and such a terrible capitulation to evil. What did Trump and Putin discuss when they were alone in the belly of the Beast (the name used for the Presidential limo)? washingtonpost.com/world/2025/08/…

I think what Trump and Stephen Miller are trying to say is that something is not quite white with our immigration policies. reuters.com/world/africa/t…

Out earlier this evening, and I'll admit, I'm still somewhat surprised by how many people come up to me to tell me, "I didn't vote for you but I appreciate what you are doing... keep standing up and fighting back... this is all so un-American."

Busy Sunday! Visited our two Irvine Dem clubs (Democrats of Irvine and Irvine Dems). In between, stopped by the weekly protest at Irvine City Hall. Afterwards, went to Mission Viejo for an HRC event. None of this is normal or acceptable. But people are fired up. We will overcome.

Electric prices are rising twice as fast as inflation. Meanwhile, Trump and the GOP just killed hundreds of billions of dollars in investments in electric transmission and clean energy projects. npr.org/2025/08/16/nx-…

I can't plausibly think of a reason why such a show of force was necessary, why this arrest was so brutally conducted, or why this arrest wasn't carried out by (unmasked) local law enforcement or FBI agents. newsweek.com/ice-arrest-inf…

“Cutting off hundreds of millions of research funds will do nothing to make UCLA safer for Jews nor diminish antisemitism in the world.” This is a courageous letter that bravely stands up to Trump's weaponization of antisemitism to attack higher ed. latimes.com/california/sto…

Yes, the same Trump administration that is weaponizing antisemitism charges to go after higher education institutions is also platforming Nazis. the-independent.com/news/world/ame…

Trump's ever-shifting TACO tariffs are causing price spikes and layoffs, which will become more pronounced over the coming months. They are also totally illegal. Congress, not Trump, has the exclusive power to levy taxes. cnbc.com/2025/08/19/tru…

Thanks to Steve and Jess at The Practivist Pod for having me on! Appreciated the opportunity to talk about the illegal misappropriation of our data by the Trump administration and other topics. Listen here: redcircle.com/shows/dce195eb…

Apparently, the Trump administration is going to be sending four F-35s and four F-16s into a low altitude flight right near the US Capitol at 11am ET. Meanwhile, the Khanna-Massie press conference is happening right now. I'm sure this is just a random coincidence... 🧐

Yes, I did the thing. I started a fantasy football league (12 teams, PPR, standard scoring) for the 119th Congressional Democratic Freshmen class. Below is what Chat GPT had to say about my team (Mahomes, McCaffrey, Chase Brown, Davante, Harrison Jr.).

No matter who Trump fires or what crazy antics he engages in, it won't change the fact his insanely stupid policies have absolutely destroyed the economic expansion he inherited. Or that his DOJ still is dragging its feet on releasing the #EpsteinFiles nytimes.com/live/2025/09/0…

Do I believe Trump spoke to the FBI about Epstein's sex trafficking? Yes. Do I believe Trump was an "FBI informant"? No. Do I believe Mike Johnson is trying to help Trump cover this all up? Yes. Truly evil, esp. for someone who claims to be so devout. newsbreak.com/mediaite-52057…

What is NOT being reported is that the woman in question is a registered Republican. And she is definitely going to serve time. And again, the idea that non-citizens are registering and voting en masse, risking deportation and jail, is insane. ocregister.com/2025/09/06/aft…

Donald Trump said that this birthday card doesn't exist. He lied. What else is he lying about? #EpsteinFiles

We fund police departments to reduce crime and we fund the military to wage war. There's a reason there are such strong restrictions on the use of military personnel on American soil, and it's because we should never declare war on the American people.

Occasionally, I get a night off in DC. Had a great time at an amazing superchunk show last night at the Black Cat.
