Raised the rent.
Locked working families out.
Tax the hedge funds.
Break the monopolies.
Turn vacant properties into homes.
Homes for families, for working people, for us.
California belongs to the people who live here... not private equity.
Pam Bondi has been a complete and total failure at her job. The Epstein survivors showed more courage just by being in that room than she did under oath. She refused to answer questions and chose complicity.
America deserves better.
