Barney Frank was one of a kind. For more than three decades in Congress, he fought tirelessly for the people of Massachusetts, helped make housing more affordable, stood up for the rights of LGBTQ+ Americans, and helped pass one of the most sweeping financial reforms in history designed to protect consumers and prevent another financial crisis. Barney’s passion and wit were second to none, and our thoughts are with his family today.
@grahamtomkovick@GavinNewsom Let markets workAI megacorps compete fiercely. The ones that ignore customers, workers, and productivity will lose. History shows tech revolutions (computers, internet, smartphones) displaced jobs and created far more, raising living standards overall. Stifling them with red tape
@grahamtomkovick@GavinNewsom It’s fair to worry about AI-driven disruption job transitions are real and governments should help people adapt. But Newsom’s approach more executive orders, procurement rules, and worker on California’s already heavy regulations) isn’t a real plan. I
The system is broken.
Billionaires get richer. Workers get replaced by algorithms.
The economic disruption is here. And California is taking action today.
We have to build a future that protects workers, supports small businesses, and ensures the new economy works for everyone, not just a handful of tech companies.
It’s time to rewrite the rules to make sure THE PEOPLE benefit.
@grahamtomkovick@GavinNewsom Reduce barriers: Cut excessive regulation, housing costs, and taxes that drive businesses and talent out of high cost states like California. Companies aren’t moving to Texas/Florida just for fun lower costs and fewer rules help them hire and innovate.
@grahamtomkovick@GavinNewsom Accelerate human capital: Make workforce retraining, education, and apprenticeships far more effective and market-driven (not government monopolies). Remove tax code biases that make it cheaper for companies to invest in machines than in training people.
@GavinNewsom This is hilarious to me, when he became a millionaire he said tax over 2 million now that he is a milti. Millionaire it’s tax the billionaires more !!! Lmao
@SenWarren an “anti-lawfare” fund). This is taxpayer money set aside to potentially compensate individuals who claim they were victims of politically motivated investigations
What could you do with $1 billion?
Feed kids.
Lower insulin costs.
Let people file taxes for free.

@SenWarren Trump voluntarily dismissed/dropped the lawsuit. A federal judge in Miami (Kathleen Williams) closed the case.
• In exchange (as part of the resolution/settlement), the Justice Department announced the creation of a nearly $1.8 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund”
@SenWarren Trump (along with his sons and the Trump Organization) filed a $10 billion lawsuit against the IRSand Treasury Department earlier in 2026. It stemmed from the unauthorized leak of his tax returns by a former IRS contractor (Charles “Chaz” Littlejohn) in 2019-2020.

@marneymer@mcclorey5875@DemocraticWins If you only watch CNN that’s what you are told !!! Make no mistake. The all lie. And the democrats have been lying to you all for years
@mcclorey5875@DemocraticWins Don't kid yourselves... No 'president' in US history has ever been as corrupt or has ever lied as much as Trump....make no mistake, Trump knows his days are numbered because he is insanely incompetent, so he's planning to cheat to win by the gerrymandering plot. Sickening to see.
BREAKING: In a stunning announcement, Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries is creating a multi-year plan to combat Republican gerrymandering efforts. Democrats are going to fight fire with fire. This is huge.
