If there will be trials for war crimes, these House Repubs are aiding and abetting

hey folk, got hold of a #CAGov poll, apparently internal poll on behalf of Tom Steyer, claiming that he's now leading the Dem field. Poll taken late Feb/early March. Deets: Steyer 16, +6 from late Jan./early Feb Porter 13, +1 Swalwell 11, -3 Hilton 20, +2 Bianco 15, -3 🧵for more screenshots

LOL "Ventura County" is trending on the other place and 1st I thought Musk is really tailoring the algorithm...and it turns out Britney Spears was arrested last night somewhere in Ventura County.

I just wrote a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social with @climatehawksvote.com to tell Trump: No Drilling in the Arctic Refuge! Even #BigOil doesn't want to drill, and that's why there were no bids in 2024. Send your own comment to #SavetheArctic & #ActOnClimate at: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

hahahaha desperate delusional campaign releasing an internal poll showing that YOU ARE IN SIXTH PLACE WITH SEVEN PERCENT OF THE VOTE and claiming a path forward. Antoni-oil, drop out NOW. #CAGov static1.squarespace.com/static/668c9...

This is the website of Ethan Agarwal, a rich tech guy running against @rokhanna.bsky.social in CA-17, aka Silicon Valley, as in, has people who know something about website design. Utter postmodern brilliance.

New PPIC poll: 5 #CAGov candidates each over 10 percent, 2 Repubs and Porter, Steyer, Swalwell Every other Dem candidate below 5 percent. And they need to drop out. www.latimes.com/california/s...

What. The. Actual. Fucking. Fuck.

Sorta obvious outcome: AIPAC and Justice Dems/ PALPAC, representing candidates 2 and 3, snipe at each other while candidate 1 skates unscathed

I just canceled my @washingtonpost.com subscription. The same $120/year is paying for half the journalists, because Bezos laid off the other half. TBH I was on the fence until this pair of headlines, one about the three way-warmest years ever, the second celebrating inability to act on climate.

I see that the Minnesota de-escalation is going well, if by de-escalation you mean that ICE is only using guns to threaten, terrify, and intimidate citizens instead of murdering them.

earlier today, I did an interview with Politico California Climate on San Jose Matt Mahan's entry into the #CAGov race, and I predicted that my 30 minute interview would be boiled down to 3 words. And... #NailedIt! #BigYawnMeh

y'all have heard of redboxing -- campaigns' coded messages to their SuperPACs often found on website "media" page? This is the 1st I've seen redboxing in a debate as a plea for the Abundance Bros to fund Xavier Becerra, please, I'm begging you.

Definitely agree with XB disqualification...and $39,200 max contribution from Chevron also disqualifies XB.

Fact check; true.

#CAGov forum, nearly an hour in, a big question on Make Polluters Pay. Steyer answers 1st: yes, he would push this. (He told me last night that he'd sign the bill) Porter: polluters need to pay full cost. Becerra: freeze rates on utilty and insurance bills, get everyone inc polluters at the table.

Sylvia is live skeeting this so I don't have to. Follow her.

hey folk, help me collect Dem elected/ candidate statements on ICE. Not looking for emotional responses, just how they'd vote. Spectrum so far: -- Jacqui Irwin running for #CA26: cut ICE budget -- Mike McGuire running for #CA01: block funding -- Betty Yee, running for #CAGov: "not another cent"

Great turnout, estimate 500 to 600 people on less than 24 hours notice,against ICE in sleepy Thousand Oaks, California. #ICEOut #AbolishICE

This useless DINO - @gluesenkampperez.house.gov - voted to fund ICE just days ago - earlier this week. Just a craven and shameless grifter who doesn’t belong in Congress. 🗑️

Thx Kyle Rohrbach, #CA26 candidate aka Good Kyle, for reminding me of Jacqui Irwin vote on SB627 vote to require ICE agents to show their faces. NVR = no vote recorded, aka abstain

just had a very long and frustrating call with my Assemblymember Jacqui Irwin, now running for Congress in #CA26. She ended up apologizing to me A LOT. We can do better, Ventura County.

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.
