During the four years of the Civil War, the confederates never got closer to Washington than Fort Stevens. Until today, when insurrectionist supporters of Donald J. Trump paraded through the U.S. Capitol Building carrying the Confederate battle flag.

A line of people exit the Capitol building. One bloodied in the head and more came out who previously stormed the building.

We cannot treat what is happening in Texas as a natural disaster that swells with the news cycle and then disappears from view. With this in mind, read about the key questions I'm asking at the link below and in our #Steady newsletter steady.substack.com/p/we-need-answ…

No expert on the COVID bill, but it seems like the messaging for it should be simple: 1. It enables us to get past COVID and open schools and businesses ASAP. 2. It provides a bridge for workers and businesses until we can fully reopen. 3. It also will cut child poverty in half.

I am elated to hear that the House passed the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act – moving us one step forward to addressing the public outcry on reimagining public safety. Our communities have suffered tremendously from these dangerous chokeholds! #GeorgeFloydJusticeAct ✊🏽

Last year, in the wake of George Floyd’s murder, the Governor signed my bill #AB1196 which bans all law enforcement in the state of CA from using chokeholds and carotid restraints. We cannot and will not allow bad police to continue abusing & killing our brothers and sisters!
