House Oversight Committee launches probe into 'rampant' hospice fraud in California trib.al/wFLGVXu

Graham Platner is a complete and total disaster. Nominating a homophobic, antisemitic, racist bigot as our nominee would be an enormous mistake. He does not represent the Democratic Party at all.

A few days ago, everyone was all for victims & survivors. Today I learned that supposedly we (the law abiding folk) have to watch where we walk (I guess it’s not a free country) in order to not startle criminals who are armed because they may shoot us. Guess we are back to victim blaming again.

Congress launches investigation into California hospice fraud, citing millions in taxpayer losses. cbsn.ws/4uNG4mw

As a Cuban refugee and former political prisoner, I am appalled that you and your daughter are supporting the regime that has oppressed us for 67 years. The aid does not reach ordinary Cubans—it is sold in dollar stores—while you help whitewash a dictatorship. Shame on you, and shame on your daughter.

So let me get this straight...he is running for governor...spending millions of his own dough to get elected...and he wants us to believe he isn't following the current governor enough to give him a grade? Hell...that disqualifies him immediately.

There are now extensive back & forth with Newsom and others in the media regarding the exposure of massive fraud here in California. Anytime someone posts on social media about the massive fraud happening here, Newsom immediately shouts back on social that “we” are arresting people and punishing fraud. Just so we are all clear, most of us here in CA have known about the fraud crisis for a long time. And, anytime I see Newsom say anything about public safety - really all you have to say is “Gascón.” Newsom brought Gascón to SF. He appointed him SF police chief. He appointed him SFDA. He supported and endorsed him when he ran for SFDA. And he supported and endorsed him when he ran for LADA - twice. When Gascón took office in LA, almost all fraud type charges were considered $0 bail. Yes. The fraudsters were all just released. This was a written policy. Any enhancements for insurance fraud, check fraud, ID theft, credit card fraud, real estate fraud, medical services fraud, etc were removed completely. Gone. Even if we could prove them. Again, a written policy. So if there were elderly or vulnerable victims, a very high monetary loss and/or multiple victims - we were NOT allowed to charge enhancements. Ever. I never saw or heard Newsom make one peep about victims of fraud or what Gascón did to LA. Not one. Gascón and Newsom also supported Prop 47. That made most check fraud a misdemeanor. Gascón and Newsom also didn’t support Prop 36. Newsom is now all over our fraud crisis in CA, almost 7 years after he has been governor, because … the media is now involved. But a leader prioritizes public safety even when the media isn’t reporting on it. Our governor is supposed to care about how crime affects working families, the elderly, vulnerable victims, children and all of us … not just how he or she looks in the public eye.

As I told @MaxDarrowTV on CBS News: "We have four different bus agencies [in Contra Costa County] ...Why do we need four agencies with four managing directors and four personnel directors and so forth?" Cut costs before increasing transit taxes! cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/n…

@Twolfrecovery @jeffreisig @CAgovernor @ONDCP @SecKennedy Clearly not protecting children

@jeffreisig @CAgovernor @ONDCP @SecKennedy The people working the CPS case should all lose their jobs too.

CPS in San Francisco knows parents are fentanyl addicts. Leaves 2 year old child in their custody. Child dies of fentanyl overdose. This is criminal justice reform in California. @CAgovernor @ondcp @SecKennedy sfchronicle.com/crime/article/…

.@GovPritzker, I saw your post honoring lives lost in Minnesota—standing publicly, naming Alex Pretti and Renee Good, and laying flowers in their memory. But where was that same compassion on January 19, 2025? That is the day my 20-year-old daughter, Katie Abraham, was killed here in Illinois. She was innocent. She did not knowingly put herself in the middle of an ongoing law enforcement situation. She was not making a dangerous choice. She was simply living her life—and it was taken from her. You have never said her name. You have never come to where she died. You have never acknowledged her publicly. And beyond that—you have never even responded to me. I sent you a simple, non-political letter. Not for attention. Not for headlines. Just a father asking for clarity, for answers, and for understanding of the state’s position. You never replied. And now, in the wake of another tragedy here in Chicago, your public display of compassion elsewhere—while remaining silent about victims in your own state—feels deeply disconnected from the reality families like mine are living every day. Instead, you continue to defend sanctuary policies that create the conditions where preventable tragedies like hers can happen. This is not about politics. It’s about leadership and accountability. When you choose to publicly mourn some victims while remaining silent about others—especially those lost under policies you support—it sends a message. Whether intentional or not, it tells families like mine that our loss does not matter the same way. So I am asking you directly: Where is your compassion for my daughter? Where is your acknowledgment of victims here in Illinois? And when will you take responsibility for the consequences of the policies you defend? Say her name: Katie Abraham. Stand where she died. Show the people of Illinois that every life matters.

Tom Steyer wants to be governor but claims he hasn’t been following what’s been going on in the state closely enough the past seven years to evaluate Newsom’s performance.

@TheKevinDalton Pathetic

Hilarious. Ashley Zavala asks Tom Steyer to simply grade Gavin Newsom’s job as governor over the past two terms. Steyer stutters and stammers in an attempt to avoid answering, then pretends he hasn’t “followed it closely enough”.

Common sense is trending and @MattMahanSJ is making a great point that tax increases should correlate with tangible improvements. As your representative in Congress, I will fight to ensure that federal dollars are actually making your lives better.

Ex: "Too many of our legislators think their measure of success is how many bills they can write...and ultimately get signed. And...if you read what these bills actually do, they just generally add more costs."--@MattMahanSJ on @theallinpod

Hasan Piker, Code Pink, and the rest of the useful idiots are literally doing poverty tourism in Cuba. Treating Cubans like zoo animals for them to take pictures of.

I'm pretty sure if *any* employee of NYC government (e.g., teacher, nurse, firefighter) was caught with n-word and f-word tweets from the past, they would be fired by the end of the day. But, the "first lady"? No problem.
