1/ A 28-year-old working mom in Arizona got a letter demanding she complete her food stamps interview by Feb 28. The letter was dated March 30. She asked caseworker: “Do I look like I can create a time machine?” This isn’t a glitch. This is the plan. 🧵 #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy
Trump Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins just called his SNAP cuts a "pretty big win". Throwing 5 million struggling Americans — including families with children — off food aid to fund tax cuts for the rich isn't a "win". It's a national disgrace.
I’ve always been a fighter. Fighting to make sure every American had access to a vaccine during COVID. Fighting for reproductive rights. And now I’m fighting to lead the greatest state in the nation as your Governor. Let’s finish this fight, California.
Dozens of gas-burning power plants are being built across the country, solely to power data centers. These plants could emit as much planet-warming pollution as half of all passenger vehicles in the entire country in a single YEAR. We need a data center moratorium — now.
The election EO appeal is about whether the fedl gov’t can change the rules of voting shortly before the midterms & whether SCOTUS will apply its own precedent consistently. Understanding the arguments is essential to understanding the outcome, so I parse them here: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Wow! @menendez.house.gov says that the EXACT scenario I flagged two months ago, where ICE "releases" someone having a medical emergency solely so their death won't be recorded as occurring while in custody, happened last month at the infamous Delaney Hall detention center in Newark, NJ.
Matt Shuham@mattshuham.bsky.social · yesterdayDays before the death of Edwin Jeovanny Lopez Cornejo, ICE officials did not report the death of another man who’d been detained at Delaney Hall — because they had technically “released” him in the middle of a medical emergency, Rep. Rob Menendez (D-NJ) alleged. www.huffpost.com/entry/delane...

Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.
A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…
Talarico’s argument is simple: Stop treating marijuana like a crime. Legalize it. Regulate it. Tax it. Stop wasting police resources on low-level marijuana offenses. Clear the records of people whose lives have been derailed by nonviolent marijuana convictions.

When I was Attorney General, I took on the chaos coming from the Trump administration in court. And I won. Trump makes a lot of dangerous noise, but as Governor, I'll continue fighting to stop his attempts to destroy our resources, our state, and our values.

Not sure if everyone appreciates the difference. Rooftop solar hardwires into your main panel via a dedicated breaker, so it requires a permit, an installer, an electrician, and a utility agreement. Balcony solar just plugs into a wall outlet, sharing an existing circuit with no permits or rewiring.

Just watched Spider-Man: Brand New Day! This one definitely lived up to the expectations; I really liked the evolution of Peter Parker, and the supporting cast fit in very nicely with the overall narrative. Definitely a top 3 contender in terms of Spider-Man films. 9/10 Highly Recommend!
