@schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov Dear California Senators, PLEASE DO NOT PASS THE BUDGET WITHOUT FUNDING FOR THE ACA. Settling for a vote next month does NOTHING but make you look weak. Hunger riots toppled the King in Russia and France. It can happen here too. #NoKings

Some people are saying if Grijalva were sworn in today, the bill would pass 218-215. If Johnson waits until after the TN election and Van Epps wins, and Johnson swears them both in, the vote would be 218-216. But could the GOP think they can flip a vote? It is a thin margin, No?

I want a California governor who flies commercial.
