I'm so excited to share with you all. This labor of love is committed to increasing voter registration in the Central Valley. We have a lot of work ahead of us, but I know if we work together we can make history. Join me:

If Nunes would’ve stayed he’d be up for chairman of the House’s most powerful committee, Ways & Means, & could’ve delivered huge $ for Valley water, Ag, healthcare, immigration, etc. Instead, 20 yrs of delivering zero. SMH.

Great work by my friend & former colleague &RoKanna. Retweet & spread the word.

‘Dignity in a Digital Age’ by @RoKhanna looks at the transformative power of tech and how it’s reshaping the world around us. This is the central political challenge and the politicians who master this will shape the future. We need more of this thinking in politics today. TB

Not one CA Republican voted for the bi-partisan infrastructure bill that included billions for Western water infrastructure. Remember that the next time anyone of them carps & whines about building dams, storage or anything else. SMH

"The victory cements Newsom as a prominent figure in national Democratic politics and preserves his prospects for a future U.S. run. It also ensures the nation’s most populous state will remain in Democratic control as a laboratory for progressive policies...." Indeed!

‘Kevin came down to kiss my ass and wants my help to win the House back,’ Trump said Which is why in Congress, he's known as "Kiss A$$ Kevin"

Trump is still angry with Republicans who blamed him for the insurrection, including House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy. ‘This guy called me every single day, pretended to be my best friend, and then, he fucked me. He's not a good guy,’ Too true Don, Too true

So proud of my former staffer who was honored by the Women's Congressional Staff Foundation as their Democratic Leadership Impact awardee for her dedication to supporting female staffers on Capitol Hill. She's the best.

Poor David Valadao (CA-21), he doesn't know if he's coming or going. He got $20M included for Hwy 41 through Kings County, but then voted against own request. Next time you're stuck on 41 remember that.

Knowing both of them, I wouldn't say Rep. Jeffries is "unsparing in his criticism of House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy". He's just telling the truth.

Punchbowl News: "Here's an interesting dynamic we've noticed over the last few months: House Democratic Caucus Chair Hakeem Jeffries of New York has been absolutely unsparing and unrelenting in his criticism of House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy."

Last week, my wife Kathy, staffer Rebecca Kahn and I were honored to have our essay on reformulating the Congressional decision-making process published in Harvard Law School’s Journal on Legislation. It’s time to evaluate legislation on what matters – our health and well-being.

#mykevin, @gopleader you say you back the Blue, but today you failed every US Capitol Police officer. Remember that when you ignore them on your way into your office.
Quote Tweet
Today, the House passed legislation to form a bipartisan, independent Commission to investigate the Jan. 6 domestic terrorism attack on the U.S. Capitol. We must finally get to the truth of what happened on that dark day.

Biden’s aid programs help buttress McCarthy’s district despite GOP leader’s complaints about ‘socialist’ spending washingtonpost.com/us-policy/2021 "Yet McCarthy’s position as House GOP leader does not appear to have translated into dramatic economic changes for his district...."

My friend is one of the most thoughtful & humble persons I've ever met. She treats everyone, inc. Members on the other side of the aisle, with kindness & respect. The fact that @GOPLeader Kevin McCarthy supports MTG's attacks on her, is another example of his spinelessness.
Quote Tweet
While I may not agree with @AOC on issues, I’ve never seen her confront a colleague like this. The house was created to debate emotional issues professionally, and it seems some just want attention or cannot handle their emotions. a.msn.com/01/en-us/BB1gG

Opinion | Meet Kevin McCarthy, political hollow man washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/ "In a crisis of national identity, he has done what comes easy to him. He has shown only shallowness, cravenness and negligence. He has been a quailing, simpering paragon of mediocrity" Too true.

If we register 25k New Democratic voters between now & the 2022 midterms we can send both Devin Nunes & Kevin McCarthy packing. Follow now!

He’ll also try to say he didn’t vote against our American Rescue Plan, Equality Act, Dream Act, Farmworker Modernization, Violence Against Women Act,....

Thank you , yes - it's way past time to actually confront gun violence, violence against women, and stop today's resurgence of hate against our AAPI community.
Quote Tweet
I just spoke out on the House floor condemning yesterday’s brutal shooting in Atlanta in which we lost 8 precious lives, including 6 Asian women. Racially motivated violence must be called out for exactly what it is and we must stop making excuses for it. Watch my remarks here.

The next CA Attorney General should prioritize API communities and our needs. California has a larger population of AAPIs than 49 other states. #API4AG #AAPI #BontaForAG

@APILegCaucus endorses @RobBontaCA for CA Attorney General. Representation matters now! We ask @GavinNewsom 2 appoint Asm Bonta who has the legal experience and passion 4 justice CA needs in our next People’s Lawyer. #API4AG #AAPI
