I know some might be tired of me repeating this, but it bears mentioning again and again....

Trump is not leaving office.

They are going to go for martial law if it looks likely that the GOP will lose the House.

You just have to listen to them.

Why is Apple, Microsoft, Lockheed Martin, Blackstone, Google, OpenAI, Amazon and others financing the destruction of the WH and desecration of the grounds, something that is infuriating to huge chunk of the American population? Do you hate your customers that much?

Federal Judge Jeffrey Cummings has found that ICE agents violated the terms of a consent decree by detaining people without proper warrants. He ruled that as of this week ICE must wear body cams at all times and can face arrest and contempt proceedings if they conduct unlawful, warrantless arrests.

Primaries are there for a reason. I'm not interested in "vote Blue no matter who" especially as its given us people like Fetterman. Push to make Democratic candidates better or replace them.

And with that, I think its time to drop Platner.

Voters should pick their representatives, not the other way around. Glad to get the chance to talk to some of the volunteers and organizers doing the hard work to make sure Prop 50 passes. This vote will have critical implications, not just for California, but for our entire country.

Even in the movies, scenes of the White House getting blown up by invading aliens or terrorists feel emotionally unsettling.

It’s the People’s House after all.

So imagine having to witness its destruction in real life…and the culprit is the President.

Remember what’s coming: first, kill Affordable Care credits, doubling costs for tens of millions; then, cut Medicare half a trillion (sleazily, automatically) hurting seniors; then cut Medicaid by a trillion, pounding doctors, hospitals and nursing homes. It’s why we fight.

Health insurance costs jumped for workers & employers in 2025.

This will get worse if the GOP refuses to extend ACA subsidies.

Meanwhile, the seven largest health insurance companies made a combined $71B in profits in 2024.

Still not sure we need Medicare for All?

Over the past five months we've met with more than a dozen pregnant people in ICE detention, some of whom have been detained and shackled without access to medical care.

We're calling for an immediate investigation.

Immigrant rights group calls for removing pregnant women from detention

The American Civil Liberties Union is alleging that pregnant detainees being held in Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities in Louisiana and Georgia are being mistreated and receiving inadequate care.
