Rep Jared Huffman is one of the smartest and most courageous Members of Congress. I just purchased his book NO PROPHETS: The Fight to Save Democracy from Christian Nationalism. You can too by clicking the link below. This is a critical issue and I’m so pleased Rep Huffman is addressing it head on.

I served on active duty for 4 years and 21 years in the reserves. My military ID let me go to sensitive locations, like a military base. Under the SAVE Act’s insane requirements, a military ID does not allow an American to vote.

A foreign hacker likely has the Epstein Files. The best way to prevent blackmail of government officials, such as trump and Howard Lutnick, would be for AG Pam Bondi to stop the cover up and release all the Epstein Files as required by law.

Betty and I had a wonderful time at the Torrance Firefighters Spaghetti Dinner and Bake Sale tonight! Thank you to the amazing firefighters who protect us, and to all those who support our firefighters. Torrance is one of the few cities that has a Class 1 Fire Department.

The trump economy sucks: 92,000 jobs LOST last month. Unemployment rate INCREASES to 4.4%. Labor force participation DROPS. And what is trump focused on? Golden drapes and his Epstein ballroom.

The producer price index (PPI), a leading indicator of CPI, came in hot. Expectations were that Core PPI would be 3.0%, but prices jumped by 3.6%. The tariffs and policies of trump and his rubber stamp Republicans are crushing the American economy and super charging inflation.

The US PPI report came in hotter than expected, particularly for the core measure. January core PPI rose 0.8%, significantly surpassing the 0.3% consensus and marking the highest monthly increase since March 2022. The headline figure also exceeded expectations at 0.5% (against a 0.3% forecast). ...

Tourism is down in the U.S. under Trump, while globally it is up. Kristi Noem turned DHS into something that is FUBAR and tourists are scared to come. A British woman was shackled and slept on floor of cell for six weeks even though she had a valid visa. Noem must resign.

What does Trump do after the Supreme Court strikes down his massive tax increase? He acts like a crybaby and imposes temporary tariffs of 10% that will expire in 150 days. Democrats will kill the temporary tariffs when they expire. Republicans support tariffs. November is coming.

BREAKING: Trump just melted down in front of the world, showing his anger about the Supreme Court. He announced new, global 10% tariffs. He said he can now "destroy" any country he wants. He called his own Conservative Justices a disgrace. He would not commit to paying companies back.
