The last person you want as FBI Director is Kash Patel.
It’s a position of immense, at times unreviewable, power.
And in addition to being dishonest, untrustworthy, and utterly lacking in character – he will do anything in the service of Donald Trump. Anything.

The Holocaust is our history.
It's the lives stolen. Futures rewritten. The pain carried by survivors and their descendants.
Today, we remember those who died and those who still live.
And recommit ourselves to ensuring it can never, ever happen again.
In 1942, Paula was arrested and deported to Minsk.
She was murdered in Auschwitz later that year.
Her courage saved so many, even as it cost her everything.
After Kristallnacht, Paula dedicated her time and life to shepherding countless children onto the Kindertransport – including Erika’s little brother.
Paula was given countless opportunities to stay in London. But she insisted on returning to Germany to care for her community.
Erika had attended Theodor Herzl School, a sanctuary for Jewish children in Berlin, led by a remarkable woman:
Paula Fürst.
Paula gave these children hope, safety, and education at a time when the world outside their classrooms grew increasingly hostile.
Erika herself escaped to the U.S. through the courage of her stepmother – who secured an affidavit and a visa.
In America, Erika built a new life, became an artist, teacher, and mother.
Her grandparents and their brothers and families perished in Auschwitz.
At 13, Erika sent her 8-year-old brother on a Kindertransport to England.
A dark train filled with children sent into the arms of strangers. All in the hopes of escaping the rising violence of the Nazi regime.
Years ago, I had the privilege of meeting Erika, a Holocaust survivor who now resides in California.
Born in Berlin in 1925, Erika’s world turned upside down when the Nazis came to power. On November 9, 1938, Kristallnacht, her school and synagogue were destroyed by the Nazis.
On Holocaust Remembrance Day, I want to share two stories that shape how I think about this day – and the history behind it.
(Thread 🧵)
This "Golden Age" is looking great for Donald Trump and his uber-wealthy friends.
But for the rest of America? Not so much.
... if you're a multi-billionaire, or a large corporation awaiting enormous tax breaks, while stripping away workplace protections and the right to organize.
... if you're Trump, making millions off of a memecoin, and leveraging the powers of the Presidency to enrich yourself and your family.
… if you’re a Trump appointed bureaucrat who wants free rein to waste or steal taxpayer money, now free from the prying eyes of independent inspectors general.
... if you beat police officers on January 6th, and are now let loose and absolved of your crimes by a President who is perfectly fine with political violence being committed in his name.
... if you’re a mega polluter, who will now be able to foul the air and water as Trump strips back environmental protections and attacks green energy.
... if you're a big pharmaceutical company, looking to upcharge seniors and working families on Medicare and Social Security.
After one week of Trump’s presidency, it’s clear we’re entering a Golden Age in America...
But only for a select few…. 🧵
California has given more to disaster recovery in other parts of the country than any other state.
We will not go down the road of conditioning help on unrelated policy matters while people are hurting.
So grateful to all the Red Cross volunteers and staff who have been assisting victims of the fires, especially my favorite Red Cross volunteer, my wife, Eve.
She’s been working all week at the Pasadena Shelter and now with Allishia at the Disaster Recovery Center in Westwood.
I just voted against Kristi Noem’s confirmation.
Our immigration system is in desperate need of reform — but it won’t be fixed by organized acts of cruelty.
We need a DHS Secretary who puts the rule of law and constitution first — not the caprice of the President.
The mass firing of Inspectors General by the Trump Administration without grounds and advance notice to Congress is a clear violation of the law.
But, of course, we know the cause: Trump wants no accountability for malfeasance in office.
He is refilling the swamp.
In Azerbaijan, Armenian political prisoners are currently standing trial in closed-door proceedings.
No due process. No press allowed.
It's time for the State Department to hold the Azeri regime accountable for its human rights violations.
