There they go again, ripping away your health care and food assistance in order to enrich billionaire donors — and now literally going home for the summer rather than address rising costs or release the Epstein files. Shameful. Sinful. Stay at work and #CancelCutsToMedicaid -NP

Authorities announced the arrest of one man in connection with a $1 million smash-and-grab robbery that took place in Sacramento County over the July 4 holiday weekend, as they search for additional suspects. cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/n…
There is something to Essayli’s temperament that shows he is unfit at any high level position in government. US Senate should NOT confirm his nomination. Trump can find another Interim US Attorney.
NEW: Trump's pick as L.A.'s top federal prosecutor is struggling to win indictments against anti-ICE protesters, to the point where he yelled at subordinates to disregard the DOJ Manual in frustration. Latest w/ @brittny_mejia latimes.com/california/sto…
NEW: @CAGovernor Gavin Newsom approved the predeployment of firefighting resources in Nevada, Sierra, and Plumas counties in response to critical fire weather conditions forecasted to impact Northern California in the coming days.

A Latino family in LA sued over an illegal eviction. The landlord's lawyer, Rod Fehlman, warned that they'd "likely be picked up by ICE and deported prior to trial thanks to all the good work the Trump administration has done." The kicker? Everyone in the family is a US citizen.
DEMOCRATS SUCCESSFULLY SUBPOENAED THE EPSTEIN FILES. Thanks to @RepRobertGarcia, @RepSummerLee, @RepPressley, @RepLSimon, & @RepWesleyBellMO, Pam Bondi must release the files to Congress. Oversight Dems will keep holding Trump accountable & delivering for the American people.
🚨 We just won a forced subpoena of the Epstein files 8-2 in our @OversightDems subcommittee. This will force Chairman Comer to issue the subpoena. This is an enormous win by Oversight Democrats.
IMPORTANT: The Trump admin initially wanted to pretend that Mr. Abrego Garcia was an "MS-13 leader." Now a FOURTH federal judge has found that the evidence doesn't show even that he's a MEMBER of the gang — and that's after the Trump admin spent months looking for new evidence.
Judge Crenshaw on the allegations of MS-13 membership: "[F]or the court to find that Abrego is a member of or in affiliation with MS-13, it would have to make so many inferences from the Government's proffered evidence in its favor that such conclusion would border on fanciful."
Where do California Republicans stand on releasing the Epstein files? sacbee.com/news/politics-…

Trump’s cruel raids are bad for the economy. They are on track to cost billions in lost productivity and tax revenue. Not to mention the immeasurable toll on communities and families.
El Pais says one of the men Trump and Marco Rubio repatriated to the US from Venezuela was convicted of murdering three people, including two women. He bashed his victims in the head with an axe and cut their throats.
Of the five zip codes with the highest immigration enforcement numbers, a combined 76% of the population was Latino. latimes.com/california/sto…
