"This article lists many of the grants already earmarked for Bay Area projects, such as clean energy, higher education, infrastructure and job training, that have been cut by the Republicans' government under the leadership of our petulant, thin-skinned president. If he decides you're his enemy for whatever imagined or perceived offense, he will do whatever he can to hurt you. As Rep.

"Thank you for covering the "No Kings" demonstration on Oct. 18. I was pleased and proud to join about 2,000 people at Pleasant Hill's City Hall and feel the spirit of America.
