Another reason to not work with the DOGE billionaires is that they want to redistribute wealth from working class families into the pockets of the billionaire class and the companies they own. There’s nothing to negotiate with them, we can only fight back.
We have a housing crisis, food costs are too high, and folks can barley afford to pay rent. Yet Republicans in congress scheduled 1 vote today in the House: Communism in Schools. What a waste of time. I voted no.
House vote on communism in schools passes.
Why should we work with two billionaires that are hell bent on destroying public benefits and healthcare. Democrats need to oppose their efforts with everything we got. There is no room for partnership.
Medicare for All isn’t a radical idea. We already have Medicare, people like it, and it provides life saving healthcare for so many seniors and older adults. Healthcare should not be tied to where and if one is working. Healthcare is a human right.

I’m proud of California and our congressional scorecard. Now that results are official it’s clear that we flipped 3 seats from red to blue and held a very competitive open seat. 4 wins I’m proud of. And in 2026, Calvert, Valadao, and others better be ready because we are coming for those seats.
