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.

Stevens: There’s $1.3 trillion of credit card debt. There are people putting grocery bills on credit cards and then paying interest on them. We are in an affordability crisis. Coffee is up 20%, beef is up 16%, bacon is up over 10%. And now we’re going to see health care costs skyrocket.

Extraordinary NYT story:

Trump’s DOJ pressured out another US Attorney in WESTERN Virginia for finding that a grand jury probe his bosses demanded was unwarranted.

They wanted a case discrediting the Russia probe — evidence be damned. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/14/u...

Already mailed back my ballot.

No elected officials in ANY state should establish congressional districts for their state. Every state should be required to set up an independent citizen panel, like CA, which is asking voters to OK the Prop 50 exception to balance the 5 TX just added. 🔥

💯 Are they that stupid and incompetent (yes) or playing everyone else for fools? (Yes) Even the bozos elected to Congress USED TO HAVE competent staff to prevent them from looking like complete idiots.

Same with Trump’s cringe worthy, fact-free “legal” filings.
