My excitement over @KevinKileyCA goes back— it’s the journey that makes the story. In the CA legislature, we know we will lose most battles, but he fought them for us. He gave homeschooling families a voice, impacted #AB5 independent contractors. He sued the governor & won…
What you may not know is that we were helpless to stop bills like AB5, and he came back to fight it again the next session. We took losses. But now, they won’t get the PRO Act through if it goes party line. They can’t do that harm to others nationwide. Because we have Kiley.
Going from disenfranchised and inflicted to now holding the power to stop it— it’s an amazing turn of events. Because nobody stopped fighting even when things were so bad hope was hard to believe in. We never gave up on each other. And, they won’t get the chance to do it again.
So it’s not just because I *like* Congressman-elect Kiley. It’s that we got the snot kicked out of us, people suffered under AB5 & other laws.
It’s not just that he got the seat the GOP needed. It’s that he was always who we needed, even when we didn’t have the seats. That part.

The LV Sun is WILD. I went to hot-headed kangaroo court atheltic commissioner & Sisolak "sugar daddy" (that's the phrase, right Steve?) news site & OMG ITS NIK RICHIE STILL TALKING ABOUT WOMEN'S BODIES. Will the "thigh gap" be in style? Pray tell Nik.
So glad I'm with @RedState
First I thought I ended up at a porn site. Then I saw Nik Richie and was like-- this can't be.
Am I in the year 2013? Have I died and gone to hell? Am I hallucinaing? Having a stroke?
No. Cloobeck "pitched" this garbage to Lombardo and cried to Las Vegas Sun afterward. So wierd.
These people... "School teachers hiding their pasts from their students" is that uh, the plan for the staffing & retention problem at CCSD? Tell the students fireside tales about when Ms Smith went to a party at ASU?
Slamming "holy" Lombardo was always a top story plan, though.

They’re killing Cubans.
No, I’m not gonna shut up about it for the comfort of the political elite who pander and prey on immigrants in this nation.
Give Cubans & Venezuelans asylum— you know people are dying. Haitians, too.
We “vote wrong” so, that’s a hard pass for the D’s.
What could be more vile than watching a government drown a baby, murder a family, less than 100 miles from US soil and not saying a word because they didn’t come to vote for YOU.
You disgust me. It’s an evil act to murder Cuban migrants & you have nothing to say @CortezMasto?
First Latina in the Senate? That’s you ain’t it? That’s your pitch when it’s time to retain power, right? And something about women’s rights?
You can’t muster a word @CortezMasto? They killed a toddler. You don’t care because she was Cuban. Ya big Latina advocate, you.

PSA: ‘No RINOS in seats’ is a fine mission in a primary, but in the general it’s: No Democrats in seats

I have a sordid history with Sen. Carrie Buck, but I’d defend her seat in a general or risk a super minority due to ego.

I’m not screwing kids out of education options.
This is why I get along with a lot of factions, I traverse in Nevada. It’s because I know when it’s time to be a team player, my political motives aren’t self-serving & ego isn’t a factor when it comes to doing right for everyone else. I’ll work with anyone on the mission.
Politics is a weird sport & can be hard for big personalities & those coming from grassroots (nobody listens & we get ran over) but don’t torch all your bridges, sometimes shutting up is helpful, & maintain trust with those who offer it to you.
We’re all drowning in 1 lifeboat.
