I prefer presidents who don’t have their accounts closed over money laundering concerns.

The people who falsely accused an Olympian of vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool are the same people telling you to trust them about the war with Iran
News: The U.S. economy grew at a disappointing 1.5% in the 2nd quarter of 2026. Congratulations to @sarahbca.bsky.social for her “Bookmark this” comment last December when Howard Lutnick said 2Q of 2026 would be “amazing.” @atrupar.com
California's economy just posted its best quarterly growth showing since 2013. With the nation's largest GDP, the Golden State is keeping America's economy afloat despite Trump's failed economic policies.
Under Trump: -Household electricity costs are up 18% -Ground beef prices are up 22% -Gas prices are up 40% -ACA out-of-pocket premiums are up 58% -Inflation is at a three-year high "New Golden Age" for who?
Let me get this straight... Trump is blocking $1B in Medicaid payments to blue states over spurious accusations of mass fraud. Meanwhile, he's literally pardoned over 70 convicted fraudsters — including a nursing home owner who stole over $1.3B from Medicare and Medicaid. Hello?
“What we've heard is jobs, jobs, jobs." But no one in Tremont, Pennsylvania, seemed able to explain how the town could support an immigrant jail five times its population. So, the Trump-country coal town started to push back—and became galvanized to a much larger fight.
How the threat of an ICE detention center galvanized a Trump-country coal town
“We do deserve better than a plethora of data centers, detention centers, warehouses, biosolids processing plants, massive landfills.”

Sending ICE Agents to intimidate voters at polling places, declaring martial law to try to delay or cancel the election, seizing ballots-As he gets more desperate, there's nothing he won't do to try to save his pathetic orange ass. ALL states should preemptively prepare to defend Democracy! 🇺🇸 ✊

Marco Rubio is currently delivering a very boring speech railing against "communism." These guys really think they're cooking by trying to revive the Red Scare. Ain't gonna work with people under 60 years old.
Sen. Booker to Todd Blanche: "Your nomination should fail. The Attorney General's client is not the president, it's the American people. You've been protecting one person for most of your career…You should not be confirmed to this job."
I just signed a new law expanding California's K-12 special education funding by 43%. With an additional $2.4 billion for public schools across the state, we're continuing to improve classroom instruction and services for students with disabilities.
The low temperature of 84F at New York City Central Park ties the all time record warmest low temperature (1869-present). The low of 87F at Newark is a new all-time warmest low temperature (1843-present). It's as if something has changed. 🤔

Urgent policing at the reflecting pool in DC. A tourist touched the water.
A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security on 100% of their income. A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security on less than 1% of their income. Instead of raising the retirement age, we should scrap the Social Security tax cap.

The reflecting pool debacle is the perfect visual metaphor for the Trump Administration - superficial approaches to complex problems leading to worse outcomes than if he had done nothing.

El Niño is here, which means it's time for me to dust off and refine my old collection of ENSO-related climate visualizations. Check out how much sea surface temperatures have already warmed this year across the equatorial tropical Pacific. Wow! Data from psl.noaa.gov/data/gridded...
Okay, folks: The big El Niño update is now out on Weather West! This sure looks like it's going to be a dramatic year from a global climate perspective, and there are major implications for extreme events (across California, the U.S. West, & well beyond).
Special update: Rising odds of a strong-to-historic El Niño event in 2026, with growing likelihood of significant regional-to-global scale impacts - Weather West
June 11, 2026 - Daniel Swain - A quick refresher: What is El Niño and how can it affect global weather patterns? El Niño is the warm phase of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), a semi-regular recurring cycle that transfers vast amounts of heat and momentum from the tropical Pacific to the global atmosphere. It is triggered every 3–7 years when the #

The NYT has spent weeks trying to destroy Graham Platner—a vet with a history of PTSD, depression, and alcoholism resulting from his public service—so I thought I'd see how the same outlet covers a soon-to-be trillionaire whose actions in 2025 *doomed 14 million people to death*.
Yes, because it's absolutely impossible that a city that's only 18.7% Republican wouldn't vote for the Republican candidate
NEW EPISODE: As California counts its votes, Trump and his allies are calling it rigged, weaponizing the DOJ and laying the groundwork to reject results they don't like in 2026. I explain what they are up to and why we need to fight back. youtu.be/2LQeLY3Ltpg?...
Trump Is Spreading a California Election Lie. Here's the Truth.

82 years ago today my grandfather, who lied about his age to enlist in the military, was in one of the first waves of landing crafts to hit the beaches of Normandy. He's been gone a long time now, but today I remember him and the other brave souls who fought and died for a righteous cause.
This is Ken Paxton's mugshot. He was indicted on 3 felony counts for investment fraud. He was reported to the FBI by his own staff for bribery. He was impeached by his own party for corruption. Now he’s the Republican nominee for US Senate in Texas. Together we will stop him.
JD Vance keeps lying about California's aggressive fight against fraud. We've walked the walk with nation-leading fraud prevention and have protected billions. Meanwhile, JD's boss is pardoning convicted fraudsters and literally stuffing his pockets with YOUR tax dollars.
Donald Trump LIED when he vowed not to touch Social Security. He fired thousands of workers and cut critical services. The result? Longer lines, unanswered calls, delayed benefits, and workers pushed to the brink. I'll keep fighting to stop him from gutting Social Security.
