Any person trying to succeed Pelosi in SF needs to understand, we do not want to be part of the corrupt democratic establishment or the corrupt republican establishment. The Bay Area, all corners of it including the Beautiful North Bay, South Bay, East Bay, Peninsula, and the City. We deserve better. Swalwell sucked and he was part of Pelosi establishment. I pray for my community. I pray for the Bay to bring California to its senses. From education that is crippling (yes I’m a former Educator in the Bay), to expensive housing cost, to the out of control gas prices, energy cost, food prices, and the cost of living in the most beautiful state (along with San Diego, Santa Barbara, and Orange County) Glad Pelosi and Swalwell is out. Time to elect an official who will stand with Teacher, business owners, parents, children, and ensuring our future community is better off than it is today.

I'm glad someone is talking about kicking out Rep. Jeffries 👏🏾👏🏾 He's just as bad as Chuck Schumer.

Will he turn down donations from CAIR while he's at it? What are the odds? When I heard he was opposing Jeffries, I knew I would hear the g-word.

OK so what is The Squad doing right now? They've been very quiet since election 2024.

It's hilarious how California voters think they're actually affecting the predetermined outcome of any relevant election.

As long as Scott Weiner loses that's a step in the right direction.

Top House lawmakers who have received significant campaign funding from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and pro-Israel PACs include Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ), Ritchie Torres (D-NY), and Don Bacon (R-NE). Anyone taking money from Israel needs to go now.
