If I forget to pack my toothbrush one more time, I'm gonna replace my teeth with dentures.

WOW. I am basically only on Threads now but this is an INCREDIBLE read!!

I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians. I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor. My time as Governor taught me to love policy and ignore politics. I’m proud of the work I did to help clean up our air, create jobs, balance the budget, make the biggest infrastructure investment in state history, and take power from the politicians and give it back to the people when it comes to our redistricting process and our primaries in California. That’s policy. It requires working with the other side, not insulting them to win your next election, and I know it isn’t sexy to most people, but I love it when I can help make people’s lives better with policies, like I still do through my institute at USC, where we fight for clean air and stripping the power from the politicians who rig the system against the people. Let me be honest with you: I don’t like either party right now. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, driven up deficits, and rejected election results. Democrats aren’t any better at dealing with deficits, and I worry about their local policies hurting our cities with increased crime. It is probably not a surprise that I hate politics more than ever, which, if you are a normal person who isn’t addicted to this crap, you probably understand. I want to tune out. But I can’t. Because rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets. To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious. And I will always be an American before I am a Republican. That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognize our country. And you are right to be furious. For decades, we’ve talked about the national debt. For decades, we’ve talked about comprehensive immigration reform that secures the border while fixing our broken immigration system. And Washington does nothing. The problems just keep rolling, and we all keep getting angrier, because the only people that benefit from problems aren’t you, the people. The only people that benefit from this crap are the politicians who prefer having talking points to win elections to the public service that will make Americans’ lives better. It is a just game to them. But it is life for my fellow Americans. We should be pissed! But a candidate who won’t respect your vote unless it is for him, a candidate who will send his followers to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has shown no ability to work to pass any policy besides a tax cut that helped his donors and other rich people like me but helped no one else else, a candidate who thinks Americans who disagree with him are the bigger enemies than China, Russia, or North Korea - that won’t solve our problems. It will just be four more years of bullshit with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful. We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that. He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger. That’s enough reason for me to share my vote with all of you. I want to move forward as a country, and even though I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz. Vote this week. Turn the page and put this junk behind us. And even if you disagree with me, vote, because that’s what we do as Americans. vote.org

Concerted and purposeful efforts to pull back progress in Los Angeles should not stand. Thanks for sharing this.

In case anyone thinks the recent riot in Glendale just involved “concerned parents,” it was clearly part of a strategy by far-right agitators that goes far beyond school curriculums. Make no mistake, the culture wars have come to LA, and they’re scary. thebaseballgirl.medium.com/when-extremist…

On June 19, 1865, American troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, to proclaim emancipation for slaves in Texas. Let freedom ring today and always. #Juneteenth

If you live in CA-30, @LauraFriedmanCA deserves your vote! 🌴🌴🌴

Dialoguing with voters is the best part of running for office. Besides their obvious political utility, they’re a great platform for neighbors to meet & build consensus about issues: true grass-roots politics. Want to host one for my campaign? Contact us through my website!

@everywhereist This is the second best thing I’ve read today! 😂

Whoa. I just told a Daily Mail reporter (politely) that they could not use my photos and content on their site and got a long wall of text back demanding to know why. She included that she thought I would be happy for the exposure.

Thank you for all the birthday wishes! I used to be a young man in Congress. 10 years in, I’ll keep fighting for why I ran as a 30-year-old: to make sure we win the future. And this new 118th Democratic Congressional class…they’re inspiring as hell. Let’s get to work.

@natsechobbyist ~2/3 of Americans don’t even have a passport. To paraphrase Twain, travel kills bigotry. I know you’re right.

Overly simplified but the point stands. Passing climate legislation is a winner. @POTUS was smart enough to explicitly credit the work done on climate, student loan forgiveness, and gun reform that spoke to Gen Z. They showed up big in a midterm and won it for the Dems.
Jesse D. Jenkins@JesseJenkins
It's 2010. Dems failed to pass a cap & trade bill w/58 vote Senate majority. They lose 6 Senate seats + 68 House. It's 2022. Dems pass an investment-centric climate bill in a 50/50 Senate. It is impervious to GOP attack. Ds hold Senate (gain +1?) & lose minimal House seats. 🤯

I’ve disliked Twitter for years and only went on a couple times a month (if that), but now I can’t stop watching as Elon incompetently kills it. What he could have done with his billions!

@elonmusk Dear Americans, shared power in the market place curbs excesses. I recommend buying Mustang Mach E or Hyundai Ioniq over Tesla as we need to curb this maniac and his wealth who is trying to influence election outcomes.

Oh, this is so good. @ericswalwell it’s so so good.

Thank you to Maya & Lisa @lptv for a great interview.
We talked about why my opponent won’t debate, what’s a stake in this election, and how important it is to put our country first.
