Not that anyone asked, but the country with the World's lowest life expectancy (Chad) has a higher life expectancy than the country with the highest life expectancy 120 yrs ago (Sweden). Think Science and especially Medicine has somehow failed you? Think again. #ScienceMatters

This month, my team brought together caseworkers and legal leaders from across LA to discuss how we can best support our constituents as Trump’s attacks on immigrant families continue. My office will always show up for our immigrant neighbors who make our city stronger!

40 years ago today, Aretha Franklin hit #1 on the Billboard Club Play chart with “Who’s Zoomin’ Who.” One of my favourites from that era — not because it’s a masterpiece, but because it was so much fun to mix. Great intro, great break. Did you like this Aretha track? #music #musicsky #funk

Yesterday at Huntington Gardens in San Marino, California. #SkySunday #California #gardens #nature #plants #trees

Stevie Wonder releases “Uptight (Everything’s Alright)” 60 yrs ago today. At 15, the child star was in danger of being a has-been. His voice was changing. Motown execs “would give assignments to the various producers,” said songwriter Sylvia Moy. “No one wanted Stevie.” The song saved his career.

I just sent a letter to Kristi Noem, Todd Lyons, and Rodney Scott demanding answers about the wellbeing and whereabouts of my constituent, Vicente Ventura Aguilar, who has been missing for six weeks following his detainment by CBP. Vicente's family deserves answers.

Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running. This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.

Since Vicente Ventura Aguilar suffered a medical incident in DHS' custody, my team, Vicente's family, reporters, and lawyers have been unable to locate him. I'm demanding answers.

I saw this interesting tree today at the Huntington Gardens in San Marino, California. It's a Ombu tree. #trees #nature #plants

Today's "oldie but goodie" is "The Weight" by The Band, 1968. #TheWeight #TheBand #music #oldiebutgoodie #1960s youtu.be/xLFAQuWFcTo

KC and the Sunshine Band’s hits #1 with “That’s the Way (I Like It)” — 50 years ago today. “People always thought [the track] was some kind of crazy accident, like we just stumbled onto a hook,” said Harry Wayne Casey. “But we worked that groove over and over until it felt like a living thing.”

Where is Vicente Ventura Aguilar? #LosAngeles #StopICE

For what it’s worth, as a commander and officer it was my duty, moral obligation, and legal requirement to first question and then to not obey any illegal order I was given. The same is true for everyone who swear their oath. Hope that clears things up.

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution. Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

Donald Trump should keep his reckless mouth shut.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Happy birthday, President Joe Biden! We miss having a president who has physical stamina — and a functioning brain.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic lawmakers to be killed. Trump is putting my colleagues’ lives at risk because they have exercised their free speech rights under the First Amendment and Speech and Debate Clause.

“If you’re quiet now, you would’ve been quiet in 1940.”

We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community. The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution. Don’t give up the ship.

Mavis Staples began performing as a child in the 1940s when Her father, “Pops” Staples, formed the Staple Singers with his children. At 86 she is still recording and performing. Read more about her amazing career with lots of videos at the link below. lorried.substack.com/p/mavis-stap...

Today's "oldie but goodie" is "You Gotta Believe" by the Pointer Sisters, 1976. It was from the movie "Car Wash." This wasn't a big hit for them, but I love this scene from "Car Wash." #PointerSisters #music #oldiebutgoodie #1970s www.youtube.com/watch?v=vz8F...

Every time I'm at Exposition Park, I'm amazed at how insane this Lucas Museum is. www.lucasmuseum.org

BREAKING: Federal judges ruled that Texas Republicans CANNOT use their gerrymandered map in the 2026 midterm elections. A TRUMP-APPOINTED JUDGE wrote in the ruling that "substantial evidence shows that Texas racially gerrymandered the map." This is a HUGE WIN for democracy.

BREAKING: We just won a court order to block the unlawful National Guard deployment to Memphis. President Trump’s attempt to militarize our cities and communities is unlawful. We’re grateful that the court upheld the rule of law and protected the American people in Tennessee.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting agreed Monday to fulfill a $35.9 million, multi-year contract with NPR that it had yanked after pressure from the Trump White House.

"You better wait a minute, wait a minute." 🎶 Today's "oldie but goodie" is “Please Mr. Postman” by the Marvelettes, 1961. #PleaseMrPostman #Marvelettes #music #oldiebutgoodie #1960s (1 of 2) youtu.be/UDZ6Zp_zGzg

"Ted Koppel talks with Brian Goldstone, author of "There Is No Place For Us: Working and Homeless in America," about the big business of homelessness; and with families who have struggled to pay inflated rates at "extended-stay hotels" catering to the desperate." www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lou...

As President Trump's call for National Guard deployments rings out across the U.S., a small contingent of Ohio guard members is quietly expressing concern in an encrypted group chat.

Today's "oldie but goodie" is "Try a Little Tenderness" by Otis Redding, 1966. #TryALittleTenderness #OtisRedding #music #oldiebutgoodie #1960s youtu.be/pli44utBOwo

"So, it's gettin' ready to blow It's gettin' ready to show Somebody shot off at the mouth and We're gettin' ready to know" 🎶 My oldies are usually older, but recent news makes me think of this song. Today's "oldie but goodie" is "Skeletons" by Stevie Wonder, 1987. youtu.be/Q-7RCRxG9Ww?...

This 15-story data tower in the heart of the Amazon collects vital climate data that is shared with Americans in California and across the country. The Trump Administration can ignore reality and worsen the climate crisis, but California will never stop fighting for our future.

This is a win for a basic right that is finally being protected.

Today's "oldie but goodie" is "Soul Man" by Sam & Dave, 1967. #SoulMan #Sam&Dave #music #oldiebutgoodie #1960s youtu.be/S_OX2HwWy-o

A wildlife photographer captured a dramatic encounter on video between a harbor seal and a pod of killer whales.

Visiting the Jamaraquá community in the Amazon River Basin was a once-in-a-lifetime chance to learn about local climate solutions and the sustainable economic practices happening here. Proud to stand with Indigenous leaders in working to help California drive real solutions to the climate crisis.

At Snapdragon Stadium, volunteers — including Chief Service Officer Josh Fryday and San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria — joined the San Diego Food Bank to distribute 63,000 lbs of food to nearly 2,000 families impacted by delayed federal benefits. 💪💛 Join at CaliforniaVolunteers.ca.gov. @governor.ca.gov

Under Trump’s presidency, Californians are spending over $1,100 more on everyday essentials than they were last year.
