When fake news is repeated, it becomes difficult for the public to discern what's real.
I'm Latino, progressive, and I have deep roots in the working class - my father was a bracero, a guest farmworker and cook, and my mom worked as a nursing home laundry attendant.
As a California state legislator, I supported our cap-and-trade law to force polluters to pay for releasing harmful greenhouse gases to combat climate change.
If I was so establishment, I don't think Our Revolution... would actually endorse me.
I feel like the fools who dream and who take risks are the ones who change the world.
I've been pushing for the longest time that you get the votes easier and with more enthusiasm when people feel like you're addressing their concerns.
I'm trying to work on my Spanish.
We have seen the corrupting effects of a deliberate propaganda campaign driven by fake news.
I will not negotiate the demise of the ACA with the Trump administration, but I would certainly be willing to work with responsible Republicans to fix some of the problems, particularly by strengthening the individual purchasers market to bring younger and healthier people into the risk pool.
I'm still that kid that worked at Subway and Target.
If I was such a corporate Democrat, why would the California Nurses Association, one of the leading advocates for a single-payer system, endorse me?
I like musicals.
Someone like Bernie Sanders can be in office for 30 years, but he's not the establishment.
My district really wanted me... to take a hard stance against a Donald Trump agenda.
A lot of the fake news conversation came right after the 2016 election, but it's something that had been discussed before Donald Trump ever ran for president.
To me, 'the establishment' means people who are out of touch with the people they're elected to represent.
If Dems don't stick together, we're going to lose.
In my four years as a state legislator, I went to dozens of nontraditional events - everything from bird watchings to tree giveaways, neighborhood cleanups to self-defense clinics for women - going where people are instead of asking them to come to me. It's how I learned about their struggles and how legislative decisions affected their lives.
We need to combat Trump's agenda to make sure he can't divide our families.
I will not support a federal budget that cuts funds for sanctuary cities, states, or universities.
