Democrats & friends CAN win a supermajority in both houses of Congress.

Trump & his policies are hated enough to do so.

It means a hard, full court press by everyone - laser focused on republican controlled offices. No distracting internal fighting.

If succeed Trump can be impeached & removed.

There is only FEMA coming… oh wait, Trump gave FEMA money (and moneys for insurance premiums) to a fascist buddy in Argentina. He didn’t bother with Congressional approval for this slush fund.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Yes. ALL effort must be placed on defeating EVERY single sitting Republican. No Republican up for reelection should be reelected to Congress. Period. We have the numbers. Show up and vote and let’s end this craziness.

On top of detaining U.S. citizens, ICE is now fining legal residents for not carrying their papers.

It was never about going after the “worst of the worst.” It was always about cruelty.

ICE tickets Chicago man with legal residency $130 for not having his papers on him: ‘It’s not fair…I’m a resident’

Under federal law, registered foreign nationals must carry proof of registration with them at all times. But prior to a

Tax credits set to expire at the end of the year may cause health care premiums to skyrocket.

Speaker Johnson could fix this and reopen the government, but he refuses to even ask House Republicans to show up for work.

They are terrified of the No Kings rallies and doing everything they can to discredit them.

If you're on the fence about going, just think of how much it'll piss off these assholes.

Emmer: "We call it the 'Hate America' rally because you'll see the hate for America all over this thing when they show up. The rumor is that they can't end this shutdown because this small but very violent and vocal group is the only one that's happy about this."

We Found That More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.

The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Authoritarianism is a cancer. And it's growing, metastasizing. In America. Now.

I remember when Joe Biden traveled to 8 cities for 14 appearances in 9 days after the June debate and then did a 90 minute UN brief but the media still relentlessly hounded him. Where's that media? At a Jake Tapper book talk?

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

The American people deserve a public health system that puts science before politics.

That's why California and 14 other governors are joining forces to launch the Governors Public Health Alliance to protect communities and guarantee decisions are rooted in data and health.
