Stop making excuses or feeling bad for Marco Rubio. There is no better Marco Rubio behind the scenes. No one with any character or integrity agrees to be part of this.

This is who Rubio always was and is.

Trump reveals people. He doesn't change them.

5000 Marines are being sent as the start of another quagmire land war in Asia.

Meanwhile, the pedo-in-chief will spend the weekend playing golf.

Draft MAGAs first. Don't be drafting the same poor people of color that Trump has demonized his whole career to fight his dirty, unplanned, unnecessary wars.

Tax MAGA billionaires who got his giant unnecessary tax cuts to pay for it. Don't you dare cut Social Security or Medicare to pay for Trump's war of lies.

MAGA voted for this. They can make the sacrifices and pay for it. Leave the rest of us out of it.

I encourage everyone to listen to Ashante Bean's insightful video on power and why nobody in DC is standing up to Trump. Trump knows how to use fear to wield power.

The "pro-democracy coalition" from the left to never-Trump right needs to become more savvy on how political power actually works.

Last night, #MetroLosAngeles Westside & Central Service Council voted unanimously to recommend that Metro select the San Vicente / Fairfax alignment to Mid-City West, West Hollywood, Hollywood, and the Hollywood Bowl as Metro's Locally Preferred Alternative for the northern extension of the K-Line.

The Metro Board should be selecting the LPA later this month.

Trump's unnecessary, unplanned war in Iran is going so badly that they might actually release the rest of the Epstein files as a distraction.

Eric Swalwell has called California “the greatest county in the world”.

If we are about to be attacked as a false flag by the Trump Administration, and we are about to be tuned into America’s Ukraine, and this isn’t just a psy-op, then he has at least shown the rhetoric of someone willing to stand up for California’s independence and autonomy, and 10th Amendment rights.

We neee a Governor / “President” with a vision beyond us being of one of 50 “united” states. That version of the USA is over.

Great video by Mr. Beat. History doesn’t repeat, but it does rhyme. There is so much about this era that mirrors the 1890’s. Trump has repeatedly spoken of his admiration for President McKinley.

Eventually, that era gave way to a progressive era, and so will this Gilded Age 2.0 too.

City of West Hollywood is celebrating GoGo Dancer Appreciation Month

Yes, Trump would enable a terrorist or false flag attack on California or elsewhere in the country to distract from the Epstein files.

Today it was revealed under oath to Congress that a Trump accuser received survivor money from Epstein's accountant.

As the walls close in on Trump, he will take down as many American people as he can and all thoes around him.

Question for my Canadian friends. Is the federal NDP basically packing it up? Are they joining the progressive wing of the Liberal Party? Is the progressive wing of the old "Progressive Conservative" Party crossing over too one at a time? Is Carney realigning Canadian polititcs? Can you provide some context?

I want to encourage everyone año was supporting Steye because he says he supports single-payer, to please switch and join me in supporting Xavier Becerra.

He not only supports it, but actually has the experience as CA Attorney General and Sec of Health & Human Services to make it happen.

I was thinking of labeling this as "Epsteinflation", but the higher prices we are all paying at the supermarket, clothing store, and gas station are a direct result of Trump's incompetence, his sky high tariffs, his giant unnecessary tax cuts for the superwealthy, and his unnecessary war.

This it all TRUMPFLATION.

Fight Trumpflation by throwing out Republicans.

Operation Epic Fury was really Operation Epstein Fury, and has already turned into Operation Epic Failure.

The American people don’t want this war in Iran, and Congress isn’t representing the American peoñe.

Who are they representing instead?

Who gains from a billion dollar a day war without a plan?

I am speaking of Congress as a whole here, not individual members who stand up in opposition..

Here is where the top Democrats for California Governor stand on Universal Healthcare:

SWALWELL: Supports a public option

PORTER: Supports single-payer health care

STEYER: Support single-payer health care

BECERRA: Supports single-payer health care

THURMOND: Supports single-payer health care

YEE: Supports single-payer health care

VILLARAIGOSA: Supports a public option

A billion dollars a day.

A billion dollars a day for an unnecessary war in Iran that they launched without a plan, a strategy, or an end game.

Don’t ever let any politician tell you that we cannot afford universal healthcare again.

This Californian stands with Sanchez.

I just wish our Congress had the same courage and resolve to stand up to Trump.

Here is an overview of the much better universal healthcare system in Spain.

Every other modern country beats our corporate greee health non-care non-system.

ICE is not law enforcement. There are no warrants and no due process.

Abolish ICE.

Okay, I just asked Claude.ai if it could create a sample California redistricting map with 40 State Senate and 160 Assembly seats, with each Senate seat containing four Assembly districts, expecting it to generate some sort of table.

It just created a whole new redistricting app. 🫨

That is how we know that is exactly what they are planning to do.

Did it occur to these nimrods that bombing civilians would rile up the Iranians that support the regime too?

Iran is not Iraq, and we may not be greeted as “liberators” nor control what comes next.

Every land war in Asia that we have attempted (Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, etc.) has ended a disaster.

https://youtu.be/RVTNi83ZIvg?si=VzMDse-Rw1MEwkh1

Despite their differences, Israel and Iran both have something in common — universal health care.

The U.S. has corporate greed instead.

So, I thought many of these posts promoting Claude.ai as an alternative to ChatGPT were advertising.

Now I just used Claude for help in writing a business strategy and I was blown away. Wow. They weren't kidding.

Not one more dime for warfare until the USA has universal health care. Not one more dime.

Repeal Trump’s unnecessary tax cuts foe the superwealthy to pay for it.

Donald Trump has already betrayed the Kurds once before — just like he betrays everyone in the end for selfish means. For their sake, I hope they don’t trust him in Iran now.

It is a real shame the Kurds in Iraq, Iran, Turkey, and Syria never got independent Kurdistan.

Oh look, Trump’s unnecessary war in Iraq has gone down the crapper already, so why not launch another unauthorized war in Ecuador too?

But no money for health care.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/mar/04/us-military-action-operation-ecuador

Nothing that Trump or this administration says or reports about this war is reliable, believable, or credible. Nothing. They lie under oath. No one should trust them.

Imagine anyone having watched and experienced Trump's response to the COVID pandemic and then thinking he should go back to the White House.

We are seeing the same gross incompetence played out over and over again in every other area of governance.

I am willing to admit that I might have been wrong about this. Enough credible party leaders are worried about the divided field for California Governor and Democrats being potentially shut out of the top two.

I would ask any Democrat polling under 10% who doesn't have a viable and credible plan to get themselves to the top-2 to humbly withdraw. It's okay to admit that this isn't the year.

Spain has universal health care, much better food, and high-speed rail. Can California dump MAGA and link up with Spain instead? Se habla español.

Operation Epic Fury was really just Operation Epstein Fury, and it is rapidly becoming Operation Epic Failure.

Release the rest of the Epstein files.

Abandoning Americans in a war out of greed and incompetence. What could be more Trump Republican.

The Iran Regime has already reassembled itself and there has been no popular uprising since the war started.

It is so important to get news and information and news abroad, because our corporate news media bent the knee.

“The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous. Hierarchical society is only possible on the basis of poverty and ignorance. This new version is the past and no different past can ever have existed. In principle the war effort is always planned to keep society on the brink of starvation. The war is waged by the ruling group against its own subjects and its object is not the victory over either Eurasia or East Asia, but to keep the very structure of society intact” -George Orwell

Killing the Supreme Leader of another country is usually considered an act of war by that country.

Other countries don't go with Fox News.'
spin on current events.

As there were hundreds of billions of dollars instantly available for an unnecessary war with Iran, we can afford enhanced Medicare-for-All.

It would be great if the Iranian people
had freedom and democracy next, but based on what we saw in Venezuela. Trump will probably make a deal with another regime dictator in mind who will let him sell the Iranian oil, and put the money in a private bank account in Qatar.

I doubt the dreams and aspirantions of the Iranian people are on his mind.

By the way, here is a reminder of the coup that we supported in Iran in 1956.

Here is the really upsetting thing about FBI Director Kash Patel partying around the world on the taxpayers' dime.

He lied under oath to Congress about the contents of the Epstein files.

Release the rest of the Epstein files and end the Trump-Bondi-Blanche-Patel cover-up, and hold the perpetrators and those who have tried to obstruct justice accountable.

Donald Trump lashes out at having to follow the law and decides to raise the prices you and your family pay for groceries, clothing, and other goods by 10%.

Now that's Trumpflation!

Trump's agenda is a policy failure. It is also a political one.

But he is doubling-down an his failure and trying to make you and your family poorer.
