Golly maybe Schiff shouldn't have spent $11 million in Dem donations, to boost a pro-Trump Republican, Garvey, "who will now turn out Trump voters in key House races that could determine control of Congress."

All so Schiff didn't have to run against a female Democrat who might win the general.

& now he wants to collect & waste even MORE Dem voter donations, in order to counter the harm he did by boosting the GOP candidate.

Do folks understand the fundamental problem with this, yet?

With friends like these, who needs Republicans.

"The Democratic mayor of San Francisco is pushing...proposals on the March 5 ballot, including one that would require single adults on welfare be screened and treated for illegal drug addiction or else lose cash assistance."

"Mayor London Breed also supports a ballot measure that would grant police more crime-fighting powers, such as the use of drones and surveillance cameras."

"California Is Embarking on a Billion-Dollar Overhaul to Unemployment (& More) "

$1.2B to overhaul EDD, which doesn't just preside over unemployment insurance, but also over state disability insurance.

The moment I found out that they put a 20mph limit on e-bikes, I asked why they didn't put a physical limit on car speeds.

"workers confirmed the ship will head to Tacoma, Washington where it's expected to load up with military supplies before heading to Israel.

"We're hoping that when it reaches Tacoma, the workers in Tacoma will not load that military cargo, that people of Tacoma will show up to protest this genocide & that workers around the world will continue to stop ships...We are simply trying to call for an immediate cease-fire & stop the aiding of the genocide of my people"

Looks like the demonstration is ongoing.

They are specifically calling for an immediate #CeaseFire.

If you are in #CA, #WA or #OR (or really anywhere on the West Coast) would be helpful to call your Representatives & Senators & tell them to call for an immediate Cease Fire (link in next toot), & to back unions, not to crack down on union workers. Also discuss this with any longshore workers you know.

Hey

"Fiscal conservatism" without balanced approach: 's focus on fiscal conservatism may not resonate well with voters if it is not accompanied by a balanced approach to economic policy, including investments in social programs and infrastructure.

Hey

Partisanship and divisiveness: has been known for his strong partisan views and tendency to divide Canadians along ideological lines. This approach may alienate voters who value unity and bipartisanship, making them less likely to support him or the Conservative Party.

Hey Canadians:

Conspiracy theories and misinformation: 's embrace of debunked conspiracy theories, such as those surrounding the , could make him appear out of touch with reality and unfit for high office. His opponents can use this to discredit him and cast doubt on his ability to lead the country effectively.

New laws in CA: More paid sick days to keep us healthy, protections against workplace violence, labor trafficking, and child labor, defense against retaliation, and $20/hr minimum wage for fast food workers.

Looks like Caltrans demoted Jeanie Ward-Waller, who was its top planning director for pedestrian/bike infra, for blowing the whistle about Caltrans bypassing environmental laws in widening highways. https://www.politico.com/news/2023/10/03/caltrans-official-demoted-whistleblower-complaint-00119767

Yet again Newsom fucks over labor and makes Joe Biden look like Bernie Sanders.

This passed both Assembly and Senate with veto-proof majorities: 73.8% and 67.5%. But, absurdly, it's a political norm in California never to override a veto. How do we change that? Can SAG-AFTRA and WGA weigh in and force legislators to have a spine?

Whenever news breaks of another Chinese covert police operation in another country (USA, Canada, now the UK), I always wonder why the host government doesn't arrest the covert police officers instead of just asking China politely to not do it again. Like guys, China has showed they don't play by the rules time and time again. Assert your own damn laws. Or is it not a crime to run a police agency for a foreign country in the US, CA, and UK?

If you have any friends or family in Shasta County, California, tell them to support the recall of Kevin Crye. He's a far-right election denier who got elected to the county board of supervisors and is working with MyPillow guy Mike Lindell to remove voting machines and undermine confidence in elections. https://www.recallkevincrye.org/
