Imagine a California where families and workers don't just survive, they flourish. That’s the roadmap. 

Better schools, housing that’s affordable, cleaner air, and a health care system that sees you as a human being first.

Let’s make it happen.

The pandemic disrupted young children's early schooling. Their reading scores are still behind The data suggest the slump in academic performance is not rooted only in instructional disruption, but that broader societal shifts might be at play.

When COVID-19 wrought havoc on society in early 2020, today's youngest schoolchildren were infants or yet to be born. Now in their early school years, researchers are beginning to see how the pandemic years have shaped their education.

“The Alarm Bell”: Arizona’s Drop in SNAP Participation Signals Potential Nationwide Impact of Trump Legislation Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act imposes stricter food stamp work requirements and shifts a larger share of the costs to states. Arizona’s swift implementation has made it more difficult to apply and caused nearly half of recipients to lose benefits.

Arizona is finally winning…in the category of number of families going hungry thanks to MAGA.

Since July, more than 400,000 Arizonans have been kicked off of SNAP, the highest figure of all states, though others will soon follow. Stop voting for Republicans.

I hope they make at least ONE movie about Jan 6 - or any aspect of this national crisis - before John Waters dies, because he needs to play Lindsey Graham.

Okay, okay. Time for a potentially semi-useful diversion.

Never give up hope. Earlier this week, we flipped the Florida House seat that includes Mar-a-Lago. It happened there and it can happen here. #BlueWave

RFK Jr isn’t a skeptic asking hard questions.  
He’s a con man dismantling the vaccine system that kept your kids safe for generations.  Babies are back in ICUs with diseases that should be extinct.  A federal judge called his appointees distinctly unqualified.  This isn’t medical freedom, it’s straight up negligence.

Jerome Adams-polls consistently show most Americans, including most Republicans, support childhood vaccines.  America deserves a Surgeon General who doesn’t do a 180 based on worries about midterm elections (and who is licensed/can practice medicine)

The U.S. is rationing penicillin in 2026.  A drug invented in 1943.  We let syphilis spiral out of control and now there isn’t enough. This is a policy failure, not a supply chain mystery.

McGowan: You're saying 46 Americans died, so we should attack this country. Here at home, 68,000 Americans die a year because they don't have health insurance. So, if we're going to spend billions of dollars on something…

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.

How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.
