Retired from UC Irvine. I worked with smart people who won Nobel Prizes and with Peter Navarro too. I learned things. I taught things. I built things. It was nice. Pro-democracy by default.

We only need one more House Republican to sign a discharge petition that would force a congressional vote on releasing the Epstein Files. If you live in a GOP district, tell your Member of Congress to end the cover-up now: indivisible.org/epsteinfiles...

Rep. Khanna on Twitter: “Who will be the 218 signatory? This is about trust in our government to serve us. 90% feel we have a rigged system, protecting the powerful, & politicians cannot be trusted. We must prove that the powerful will be held to account. That we can wage this battle across party lines.”

My dad first signed up for Twitter to follow live sports and he’s a freak about U of I.
