The thing about Bonta is that he’s genuinely a great person and a true believer in what he stands for. Great for California and the nation.

The Democratic state AGs are the new heroes, standing up for democracy as DOJ fails us. California’s AG, Rob Bonta, is substantive & strategic. He joins me for “Five Questions” tonight & you’ll want to see his answers & learn about his plans. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Why is a 76-year-old man doing all the hard work in this moment? Where are the Millennial/Gen Z artists (ahem, Taylor Swift) to shake their audiences into sobriety about what is going on? open.substack.com/pub/saltypol...

Just seems like another good day to remember this... #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

There is something profoundly broken about a country where millions of Americans are standing in grocery store aisles doing mental math over eggs, milk, and gas while Washington debates the urgent national necessity of…(wait for it) a presidential ballroom.

Accurate Edit for Clarity: "He should live long enough to... be held accountable for his... crimes." Actually, I was wishing him the opposite of dead, but apologize if you found the image inappropriate. 💙-mh

These deaths are on him as well as the parents he has misled.

UAE is reportedly bombing Iran right now. Iran says they aren’t going to negotiate on nuclear weapons at this stage. Close to a peace deal, my ass.

State supreme court justices play a critical role in defending your rights and freedoms, which is why the election happening in Georgia right now is so important. Make sure you have a plan to vote for Jen Jordan and Miracle Rankin.

What’s up?

It bears saying: We need to be skeptics when DOJ lets word get out that it’s conducting a criminal investigation, especially when the suspect is on Trump’s list of enemies. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Trump might have had a better idea of what Melania was going to do had he not demolished her office complex.

Happy Saturday. A flower a day.

I support impeaching DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and negotiating a full-year funding bill for DHS that creates accountability and oversight of ICE operations and DHS detention facilities.

I supported the Fiscal Year 2026 funding package because it rejects the Trump administration’s agenda.

We are seeing incredible acts of solidarity today in Minnesota and across the country. The next days and months and years will require this from us — and demand our courage. Be prepared.

They are never, ever going to win in Minnesota.

The party of law and order literally just wrote themselves a memo that says they don't have to follow the 4th Amendment. That's right, ICE intends to perform illegal search and seizures without a warrant. Add that to the list with "we had to beat up the police on Jan 6 to defend our democracy".

I understand why the schools are doing it but is there a worse substitution than replacing "Snow Day" with "Pivot To Remote Learning?"
