The Mountain Bear Democratic Club along with our friends from the Big Bear Democratic club ROCKED the boat tonight at House Rep Jay Obernolte’s town hall meeting.

The Mountain Bear Democratic Club along with our friends from the Big Bear Democratic club ROCKED the boat tonight at House Rep Jay Obernolte’s town hall meeting. Many of us got to speak and ask questions.
All the House Rep Jay Obernolte talked about was making cuts and fiscal responsibility … not about the people nor Californias needs. We made it known he works for the people of California and we are watching .
I got to ask a question :
Trump is slashing all federally funded programs like FEMA, Education, Medicaid, CDC, Aviation, Health and Safety … and at the same time the house of representatives is asking for a 4 trillion dollar raise for the rich and Musk. Please explain if you are voting yes or no for this budget and how with Trump hating California helps YOUR voters.
His answer was yes! Cut everything for the people…. Raises for the rich. I guess he thinks we’re stupid.
Well, it was a great showing and I think we were heard! Great experience .
Thank you to the Mountain Bear Dems for taking a stand tonight !
If you couldn’t attend but still want to be heard….23rd district: 

Jay Obernolte (R), since 2021

Let’s get the HOUSE BACK!

 

Donald Trump’s recent appointments have triggered a number of key special elections that could change everything for Democrats.
FL-01 → OPEN
FL-06 → OPEN
NY-21 → OPEN
The GOP holds one of the slimmest House majorities in history – meaning Hakeem Jeffries only needs three more seats to win a House majority. We can’t let this opportunity slip through our fingers. Will you rush a donation of $20 or more to help Democrats win these crucial elections and reclaim a House majority?

Support Costco- They have our back!

NEW YORK (AP) — Costco shareholders rejected a proposal urging the wholesale club operator to evaluate any risks posed by its diversity, equity and inclusion practices.

According to preliminary results shared by Costco executives at its annual meeting Thursday, more than 98% of shares voted against the proposal.

The National Center for Public Policy Research, a conservative think tank based in Washington, had submitted the proposal, arguing that Costco’s DEI initiatives hold “litigation, reputational and financial risks to the company, and therefore financial risks to shareholders.”

The think tank has made a similar proposal to Apple, and like some American companies that already scaled back or retreated from their diversity policies, cited a U.S. Supreme Court decisionin July 2023 that outlawed affirmative action in college admissions.

Call to Action: Elon, the private citizen, and unauthorized boss of the equally unauthorized DOGE “department” has invaded the U.S. Treasury

TOPIC:

Elon, the private citizen, and unauthorized boss of the equally unauthorized DOGE “department” has invaded the U.S. Treasury. Elon and X make money by collecting data on X users and selling that data to advertisers who then target-market to them. Think what a candy store the Treasury data is…

It’s where every government bill gets paid, where the data on every Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security recipient, government contractor, government worker, military person, and everyone else who gets or ever got, a government check for any and all reasons, is kept. He no longer has to mine just the X users for their information, he has access to data on everyone who has ever been paid anything by the U.S. government.

For years, the Republicans have wanted to privatize, cut, or eliminate the so-called “entitlements”, and now they have the tools to do just that.

Vance laid it out. He said what if the courts tell Trump to stop (whatever crime he is committing at the moment) and Trump just ignores the court. Who is going to stop him?

We are witnessing Coup 2, and so far it is working.

Tell Children’s Hospital LA to restart hormonal therapy care for transgender youth!

We need to email Senators Schiff and Padilla to urge them to use the power of their office to pressure Children’s Hospital LA to restart hormonal therapy for trans youth. This is a lifesaving treatment, and we need California institutions to stand up to the bigotry of the Trump administration. His policies will undoubtedly lead to increased suicides of transgender children and adults.

Below is a sample letter. Here are the email links:
Please share.
Subject Line: Tell Children’s Hospital LA to restart hormonal therapy care for transgender youth!
Dear Senator XXX,
I am frightened and angry to learn that Children’s Hospital Los Angeles has stopped new hormone therapy treatments for transgender youth. This was an unnecessary, preemptive measure that threatens the health of our children. California is a fighting state, and no entity should bow down to the inhumane executive orders of Donald Trump.
On behalf of a vulnerable population that is being vilified by MAGA for no discernable reason other than bigotry, I implore you to use the weight of your office to pressure CHLA to rescind their decision. Our children need this life saving treatment. Without it, some will take their own lives.
Thank you for standing up for Californians!
Sincerely,
XXX
