I, and other CA legislative staffers became de facto EDD employees under Julie Su's failed leadership in CA and the collapse of the EDD system. Underpaid legislative staff rang the alarm on the massive UI fraud. Don't let Julie Su fail upward.
Julie Su not only lacks the experience and competency to serve as Secretary of Labor, but she carries a record of gross mismanagement of taxpayer dollars. Under her watch, California sent out $31 billion in fraudulent unemployment benefits! Her nomination makes no sense at all.

I am curious if because statistically women are not the shooters, and our guards are down with women, access into the school was easier for the shooter.
The fact that this wasn’t in Los Angeles is a disgrace to the entire Southern California community but more importantly, I feel disrespected that I couldn’t watch it live.
As Legislative District Staff, my job used to be 15 different things, but due to EDD’s inefficiencies my entire workload has shifted to ONLY helping Senate District 4 constituents get through EDD. I’m a de facto EDD employee because WE answer the phone & their call centers don’t.
Wow: CA's unemployment claim backlog is growing larger — because more claims are pending EDD action. There were 1,105,412 unresolved claims as of May 8.
- 195,585 backlogged >21 days pending EDD action
- 909,827 pending claimant certification

I miss the Dear CA Staffers IG AKA the Wendy Carrillo is a pick me menace who abuses her staffers therapy page. Culture of forced drinking then & now she is drunk driving into parked cars.
I’ve held my tongue (on Twitter) when I see adults walking outside or driving alone in a mask. However, this weekend I saw WAY too many kids biking outside in masks. You’re abusing your kids because covid is a freaking religion to you people.

Let’s not act like the homeless are being banished for no reason.
I find it weird when candidates for political office complain about career politicians, as if they are only planning on running for one term and then leaving politics all together.
@adamhousley
So shameful. I grew up reading the VC Star and Santa Paula Times with my parents. What a gut punch to know the Star has turned into trash. I’m so sorry they are doing this to your family. More and more, our society treats crime victims worse than the criminals that ruin lives.
New debate idea: hosted by Nickelodeon. When you don’t answer the question, you get slimed. When you do the talk over after multiple warnings, you get slimed.
It is rude of lobbying groups to just shove their floor alerts under our office door when our door is clearly unlocked (green). We have an inbox! I also don’t need guests/staff/the boss slipping on it bc you are too lazy to walk 8 steps. (Yes I counted)

Was able to find Forrest Goudelock’s name at the Vietnam Memorial tonight. Forrest sacrificed his life for my dad when they served together. I am here because of him and am so grateful
@adamhousley
My dad, a Vietnam Veteran, worked with Gary in Of Mice & Men & absolutely adored him then & he just continues to be such a light for our vets. 🇺🇸❤️
This Memorial Day, I am honoring the lives of two men who served with my dad in Vietnam. Sgt. Forrest Goudelock & Sgt. Harold H Hunter & never made it home.
These two men became like brothers to my dad and their deaths haunted him.
Mike Lindell is a loser who wants republicans to lose so he can be angry and make money off angry people he led down a path of losing.

"When shameless criminals walk out of stores with stolen goods, they’ll walk straight into jail cells," Newsom says in statement.
Just went into a Bath and Body Works while a gal nearly fell into me dropping her stolen items all over the place out of her hoodie and backpack. The gals who worked there couldn’t do anything. At least she said “thanks” to the workers as she left?? California policies suck!

There were quite literally ZERO efforts to “rig” this election by Adam Schiff, Steve Garvey or anybody else. What a stupid excuse for poor performance.
Katie used the same tactics as Schiff but happens to be more insufferable and condescending than Adam Schiff (a tough feat)
Thank you to everyone who supported our campaign and voted to shake up the status quo in Washington. Because of you, we had the establishment running scared — withstanding 3 to 1 in TV spending and an onslaught of billionaires spending millions to rig this election. (1/)

Am I really seeing more outrage from San Francisco politicians about the Whole Foods closure than the woman who was doing crack and gave birth to a drug addicted baby on the streets of the city?
If you’re wondering what I5 looked like today, this was one of the top 5 most insufferable North South drives of my life. I hit 20+ tumbleweeds including one the size of a Smart Car & got stuck in multiple dust storms. I thought my grandma fled the dust bowl yet here we are
Truly bizarre that my neighbors are lighting off big bang fireworks at midnight. My need to never inconvenience anybody could NEVER allow this to happen. How are people ok being so obnoxious ?

and APPS backlog and automatically removing firearms when somebody becomes an APP.
But Newsom and the Dems have no interest in solutions that work because of their radical agenda that equates accountability to racism.
More than 2/3 of US mass shootings from 2014-2019 were committed by someone w/ a history of domestic violence or who killed a partner/relative. Yet CA refuses to acknowledge this by changing its penal code to classify domestic violence as a “violent” crime.

Are some of y’all’s bosses so demanding that they make you email asking for a vote count to an office of a member who has repeatedly opposed/supported your bill? Is deductive reasoning not allowed in your office or has staff not looked at the past votes/analyses??

The only way you would be able to get me out of the house tonight was if they manufactured an adult sized stroller and you pushed me around as I slept.
