comments on the succssion to Rep. Julia Brownley, #CA26, following her retirement announcement. District mostly overlaps with Ventura County. Appreciate all she's done for women veterans and all of us. I walked my feet off for her in 2012, and I'm a longtime Vta County resident. 🧵time!

so Speaker Johnson got all of Congress together last night to authorize war on Venezuela? @seancasten.bsky.social did you know about this or did your invitation get lost in the mail?

so who in Congress is going to introduce the Ben Sasse Restore NIH Cuts bill?

Hey #EnergySky this looks like a BFD and actually more important than the Yglesias Bros vs Sean Casten and Everyone Sane debate x.com/i/status/200...

Stuck in OHare for 4 hours on a flight delay. Seated immediately behind a toddler who screamed the whole flight. Now stuck leaving LAX. I think this qualifies as Third Level of Airport Hell?

For your Caturday and other animal amusement, pix from a local zoo that that transforms into holiday light fairyland

People live here. Many of them. And they survive. I, however, will not.

I don't think I am in California right now

I have talked to her about the environment; she is a great advocate. She is indigenous.

Honored to speak at @dncclimate.bsky.social at DNC meetings in Los Angeles this wknd. Spoke on getting fossil fuel money out of the Democratic Party and Cal Dems unifying action passing Prop 50.

Today @climatehawksvote.com is endorsing @peggyflanagan.bsky.social for US Senate in Minnesota. With loud and clear squawks! Chip in? secure.actblue.com/donate/clima...

Hey local folk looks like Pete War Crimes Kegsbreath is coming to Reagan Library Sat Dec 6 at 1150 AM @cvantifascists.bsky.social @karoli.bsky.social @leannab.bsky.social

wow! just broke some news! on a @boldprogressives.org call with @grahamformaine.bsky.social where they're unveiling an endorsement, I asked Platner if he would sign the No Fossil Fuel Money pledge -- and he said yes! nofossilfuelmoney.org

Serabi Saturday at Sanford

As Mr Rogers used to say: You're a very special person, and we're thankful for a #climatehawk like you. #thanksgiving #holiday #thankful #landback

Fun insight into endorsement work. About a week ago @peggyflanagan.bsky.social, running as the progressive in MN-Sen, gets endorsed by Sens Heinrich, Markey, Merkley, Sanders, Van Hollen, and Warren. An odd assortment? Now it turns out there's a Senate Fight Club whose members are....

This doesn't even math. Assume 26M on Obamacare (i think it's 24M but let's do easy math). We each get a check for $1,000. Once a year, or once only? My ACA premium is going up $1033 per month.

getting the feeling that Kiley is all out of f*cks to give for Trump after Prop 50.

Trump is coming for California. Squawk up! actionnetwork.org/petitions/si...

can someone remind me where the Justice Department sued Texas to block its extreme gerrymander House map that was never approved by voters? www.latimes.com/california/s...

I'm one of the furious, heartsick voters losing affordable care, and I don't know how I'm going to manage the next 18 months. www.thecut.com/article/demo...

And this is for the "well, what could Senate Democrats have done in the minority?" crowd. I'm no expert in the ways of the Senate. But Senator Chris Murphy is.

I'm depressed and furious over the end of my affordable health care. I've lost faith in the leadership of Schumer and Durbin. It's time for them to take up a new career...spelunking, anyone? actionnetwork.org/forms/tell-d...

This will pay for one week of my $8,000 prescription www.latimes.com/world-nation...

watching my Obamacare premiums go from $422/month to $1455/month on the Senate floor right now.

Hey #EnergySky #ClimateSky! Some in Congress want to make a deal on so-called permitting reform for #ActOnClimate and #Energy projects. But we can't trust Trump, who's already canceling clean energy in Blue states. Tell Congress: No deal. We can’t trust Trump. actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

love to see @repyassansari.bsky.social fighting HARD. @climatehawksvote.com endorsed her in her primary, and she's turned out to be a total rock star.

Today is Post Your Selfie With Nancy Pelosi Day, so sure, let's play.

oh my, this developing judicial opinion is worth reading. TL;DR so far the judge is P!SSED at Trump DOJ/ ICE.

Congrats @cademocrats.bsky.social and all the folk in this coalition -- including climate voters!

It's 8:03 PM. What took so long?

clean energy is cheap energy and cheap energy is clean energy. Clean energy is cheap energy and cheap energy is clean energy, and Americans are super worried about skyrocketing energy costs, and if Democrats want to win LIKE THEY JUST DID IN GEORGIA they will run on this mantra.

News: Democratic Sen. Padilla says he will not run for California governor Says he received “outpouring” of encouragement to run but wants to stay in fight in Senate

Sitting at a local vote center in purple east Ventura County. The only thing on the ballot is #Prop50 and of course I voted YES to fight back against an autocratic corrupt regime. Steady traffic but no lines.

Nice to be quoted in @thenation.com on #Prop50. If -- I should say WHEN -- we win, at approximately 8:01 PM tonight, we can begin the long process of restoring some checks and balances to America. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

There is also a "Canvass my current location" option buried in PDI mobile which lets you canvass pretty much anywhere if there is no event that's convenient for you

behold, the Gerrymandered Raspberry Streusel Muffins of California! Show up for a Prop 50 walk anywhere in the state, save democracy, eat some baked goods! Find an event here www.mobilize.us/cadems/

Trump nominates Some Guy to run the Export Bank, and then finds out that he's married into the Kremlin? Shocked just shocked to find that Trump is packing US bureaucracy with pro-Putin people. wapo.st/4nzNvZV

Tonight! Make calls for climate and mess with Texas! @replsimon.bsky.social @ashkalra.bsky.social and @climatehawksvote.com are hosting a climate-themed phone bank for Proposition 50! www.mobilize.us/ca-wfp/event...

you need another Prop 50 phone bank? Tomorrow, @replsimon.bsky.social and @ashkalra.bsky.social and @climatehawksvote.com are cohosting a phone bank! Climate folk, this is your moment to show up! www.mobilize.us/ca-wfp/event...

wondering if Cal Prop 50 will pass? Most likely yes. Good post with details for the detail oriented.

🧵 at Cal Dem Party e board, had an interesting exchange with Ian Calderon, running for #cagov on a pro housing, pro crypto platform. Asked him to sign the No Fossil Fuel Money pledge. He told me he would not, at this time, but would continue the conversation. (Political speak for bullsh!t)

does anyone else think it's weird that half the climate movement is now all about stopping data centers? instead of, you know, emissions?

😵‍💫the internet spent the entire day discussing the tattoo that someone got when he was drunk, 17 years ago, and I did Nazi that coming.

#NoKings fwy overpass rally at 8 AM, the 1st of four separate rallies planned today in sleepy purple Thousand Oaks, CA

billboards are up in Newton, Iowa! Why there instead of the much more populated Des Moines? Because Rep. Mariannette Miller Meeks toured the wind factory in Newton and then voted to kill the factory. Want to help keep them up? chip in secure.actblue.com/donate/nexts...

Today, October 15, is the last day I can tell candidates "Let's talk AFTER I see some Q3 numbers" (and they'd better suck less than your Q2 numbers). New excuse: "Let's talk after November 4, or I know what the maps look like in your state."

sorta alarming, but also sorta obvious to anyone in Ventura County this summer: 🧊 raids devastate agricultural communityies. Trump's Labor Dept, the people who do the work, directly contradict Trump and his Cabinet. Trump's 🧊raids mean FOOD SHORTAGES. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
