I’m endorsing Tom Steyer for Governor of California.
California is too expensive. Housing costs are too high. Utility bills are too high. Public schools need serious investment. And politics is still dominated by corporate and special interests.
In this race, Steyer is the only progressive in real contention. He is running on the right agenda: build one million homes, lower electric bills, make corporations and billionaires pay more, fund public education, guarantee health care, abolish ICE, and defend the climate.
He has also actually delivered before: he helped defeat Big Oil in the fight over California’s clean air law, helped pass Prop. 39 to bring billions into public schools, helped pass Prop. 56 to raise billions for health care, and co-founded Beneficial State Bank, which has financed thousands of affordable housing units.
The contrast with Xavier Becerra matters. Becerra looks like the same old bought politics: a direct Chevron max-out check, plus pro-Becerra outside money from Chevron, California Resources Corporation, Meta, Airbnb, McDonald’s, DaVita, Centene / Health Net, real estate interests, and medical industry groups.
If those are the interests lining up behind you, that tells voters something.
California needs someone willing to fight them, not someone they are trying to install. I’m proud to endorse Tom Steyer for Governor. Please donate, volunteer, endorse, and spread the word.

Four pressure-cooker stories: a poker player trying to stay alive, a separated dad trying to find his voice, a commuter trapped in a deadly game, and a detective stuck inside a robbery where nothing is as simple as it looks.
After a home poker game is robbed, a professional player and his girlfriend get pulled into a dangerous scramble over stolen cash. What starts as a bad night at the table turns into a test of nerve, loyalty, and whether the right hand can save more than money.
As Alex and Tess’s marriage quietly unravels, he stumbles into New York’s stand-up scene while she starts reclaiming pieces of her own life. The comedy comes from the awkwardness, but the hook is watching two people figure out whether a split is an ending or a strange way back to themselves.
A Berlin financier driving his kids to school gets a call from a stranger who says there’s a bomb under his seat. Forced to follow escalating instructions while keeping his children alive, he has to untangle who is controlling the day before the car becomes a coffin.
A sharp detective, a meticulous bank robber, and a high-powered fixer collide during a Manhattan hostage crisis. The longer the standoff runs, the more the robbery starts to look like cover for something older, uglier, and much harder to negotiate away.

I’m endorsing Effie Phillips-Staley for Congress in New York’s 17th District.
Effie is a Tarrytown Trustee and nonprofit executive who has spent her career in social justice, education, culture, disaster relief, and public service. She is now in her third term as a Tarrytown Village Trustee, where her campaign says she has worked on safer and more walkable streets, housing affordability, local climate resilience, and supporting small businesses.
That kind of local, practical, people-first experience matters.
Effie is running on the kind of agenda Democrats should be fighting for everywhere: Medicare for All, universal childcare, building millions of new homes, tax fairness, abolishing ICE, and Block the Bombs legislation. She is also refusing corporate PAC and AIPAC money.
That is a serious progressive campaign. It is about lowering costs, taking on entrenched power, and making Washington work for regular people instead of the ultra-rich.
NY‑17 deserves a representative who will actually fight for working families, public goods, civil rights, climate resilience, and a foreign policy rooted in human rights.
I’m proud to endorse Effie Phillips-Staley. Please donate, volunteer, and spread the word.

I’m endorsing Dr. Adam Hamawy for Congress in New Jersey’s 12th District.
Hamawy is a doctor, veteran, humanitarian, father, and small business owner. He joined the New Jersey Army National Guard, served as a combat trauma surgeon in Iraq, and rose to the rank of Lt. Colonel. He has treated patients in war zones and disaster zones. He built a medical practice in the Princeton area. And he has repeatedly chosen service when the easy thing would have been to look away.
That matters.
He is running for a government that works for working families, not billionaires and special interests. His campaign is centered on Medicare for All, strong public schools, affordability, civil rights, economic justice, and a foreign policy that values human life.
That is the kind of politics this moment calls for: serious, rooted, morally clear, and willing to fight the systems that keep ordinary people paying more and getting less.
NJ‑12 deserves a representative who understands that healthcare is a human right, that families are being squeezed by costs they cannot keep absorbing, and that public service should mean actually serving the public.
I’m proud to endorse Dr. Adam Hamawy. Please donate, volunteer, and spread the word.
