President Trump’s announcement that VA employees will not be allowed to collectively bargain is not only an attack on workers’ rights, but also an attack on the services veterans rely on. I am once again reminded of my favorite President Eisenhower quote: “Only a fool would try.

Threatening a federal government takeover of Washington, DC is absurd and dangerous. I stand with DC and their right to home rule.

The Trump Administration is launching an attack on science and truth. Despite the fact that the EPA reported last year that power plants are responsible for almost a quarter of all U.S. greenhouse gas emissions AND the fact that the EPA has offered no new analysis on this point,.

As an avid, lifelong reader, libraries have always held a special place in my heart. Today I visited the Orinda Library to walk the shelves and hear about the community programs they and other @contracostalib offer to serve CA-10 families.
