In Portland, an ambulance was summoned to the ICE office to treat an injured protester (not clear how he was injured). But when the patient was loaded inside, ICE officers refused to let the ambulance leave and threatened to shoot the ambulance driver: www.wweek.com/news/2025/10...

Documents Allege a Federal Agent at Portland ICE Threatened to Shoot an Ambulance Driver

Feds delayed medics who had come to pick up an injured protester. Then, according to confidential incident reports, the agents became aggressive.

They're so freaked out by #NoKings.

You can smell the flopsweat coming off the administration in every interview today.

They know there's way more of us than there are of them.

Everybody Around Trump Hates the Unhinged Laura Loomer. Except Trump.

She has zero qualifications, zero experience, zero talent except self-promotion. So how’d she get the national security adviser fired?

YES ON 50, CALIFORNIA!

DEMOCRACY IS AT STAKE!

Turn your ballots in early!

Canvass! Phone Bank!

The Reformers

TRUMP LIT THE GERRYMANDERING FUSE

*Direct response to Trump’s push for red states like Texas to redraw their maps to disenfranchise Democrats and elect more Republicans

*Trump’s redistricting pressure campaign could net the GOP up to 12 unearned House seats

*CA Democrats are mirroring the GOP's power grab to keep the playing field from tilting entirely red

YES ON 50

Chatbots and social media can inspire, educate, and connect, but they can also exploit, mislead, and endanger our kids.

That's why I'm signing legislation to strengthen the state's current protections for children online and create safeguards for emerging technology like AI.

After two long years being held captive by Hamas, the 20 living Israeli hostages were released and are finally home.

There’s still much work that remains to ensure lasting peace but the hostage release and ceasefire serve as critical steps toward closure and hope for the future.

The best way to celebrate the release of Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners…

…is to also release the Epstein files.

Here’s how tariffs work. Your costs go up, and that money gets transferred to the wealthy.

Whether you’re progressive, liberal, leftist, libertarian, communist, socialist, moderate, democrat, conservative, Christian, atheist, Gen Z, Boomer… we have the same enemy. It’s the oligarchs.

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.

Robert De Niro: "We've had 2 and a half centuries of democracy. We've fought in 2 world wars to preserve it.
Now we have a would-be king who wants to take it away. Fuck that." De Niro is asking people to stand up and be counted in the nationwide No Kings protest on October 18th.
