This 2007 article pokes at least 1 major hole in Giuliani's hero image from 911. Giuliani's worst nightmare | Politics | The Guardian share.google/UhCe3lFfvOVF...

This is article discusses the cost to the people when a government agency isn't as transparent with the public as required under the law. Again, the kind of thing that feeds the right wing narrative that Dems are corrupt & their efforts to help the homeless are a scam. 🤦 laist.com/news/politic...

This article reports on allegations of corruption at the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA). Should Mayor Bass have known more about them? These kinds of problems unfortunately reinforce right wing criticism of Democrats. laist.com/news/housing... laist.com/news/politic...

California’s chief financial officer trusts Jane Kim to protect our dollars as Insurance Commissioner.

Working class families deserve a watchdog, not a lapdog for billionaire corporations. Thats why we need @janekim as Insurance Commissioner.

Xavier Becerra looked at a state where working people can't afford to live and said we're "doing pretty well." He's running to preserve the system that’s making his corporate backers rich. I'm running to take it on.

Don't fall for the "Republican lockout" myth. For Democrats, the choice is simple: Becerra for more of the same, or me to take on the corporate interests driving up your costs. Why else would corporations like PG&E, Meta, and Chevron spend $50M against me and back him?

These companies are trying to buy a governor who will protect their profits and keep California expensive.

This is relevant to the ENTIRE USA 🇺🇸 because Democratic lawmakers & governors around the US are keeping the Nuclear Power industry going. Many scientists say it's NOT necessary. Keep It Running or Shut It Down? The Diablo Canyon Debate blog.ucs.org/mark-specht/...

Immigration became much more criminalized after '96 with the big new immigration bill. So, the whole legal basis for all these deportations & getting tough on "illegals" stems from there. Here's a link explaining this. www.vox.com/2016/4/28/11...

Omitted are the biggest ticket items—CORPORATE CRIME (defrauding Medicare), CORPORATE WELFARE (subsidies, tax escapes, giveaways, bailouts) and the bloated, wasteful military/industrial complex’s budget. Stay alert. Profit/power hungry Musk is out to get the people and enrich big corporations. -R

Did you notice that the Trump/Musk spending cuts go after peoples' programs like Medicaid, social safety nets, and budgets for enforcing laws against corporate crime?
