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.

I am reluctantly coming to the conclusion that The Dictator and his pals will stop at nothing to rig the 2026 elections, including declaring martial law & seizing voting machines for phony “recounts.”

We had best start looking at tactics that deal successfully with autocracies.

Janet Mills has announced a run for U.S. Senate. If elected, she would be 85 at the end of her first time.

If you care about democracy, generational renewal, and leadership that actually serves working people—You should want new leadership in Graham Platner.

"They know that in a functioning one-person-one-vote democracy, they could never pass the unpopular self-enriching policies they want. So they know they must focus on preserving and expanding the precedents that permit them to buy American democracy."

Why in the world has Speaker Johnson sent the House on a four-week VACATION while millions of people are about to get kicked off their health care? @repemilyrandall.bsky.social and I could not answer that if we tried.

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.
"
Today in @TheFP our @Olivia_Reingold talks to the cops who say they will walk if Zohran Mamdani is elected in November:”

This is the exact same deal that Biden had on the table. Then Netanyahu went to visit Trump at Mar-a-Lago and told the Biden administration that they were waiting for a change and leadership.

Am I understanding this right, a bunch of Arab countries and some European countries are there but nobody from Hamas or Israel? I’m glad the hostages are home but I don’t really see the point, except to kiss trump’s ass and pretend like he’s done something.

Just so everyone is clear, the main issue in the Supreme Court voting rights case tomorrow is whether it's racist against white people to enforce the Voting Rights Act.

I'm dead serious. We live in incredibly stupid times.

All because on Friday Trump threatened 100% tariffs on China, then over the weekend he switched it up with, “Don’t worry about China, it’ll all be fine.”

Not market manipulation, though. Right?

The GOP owns the airwaves right now. You need to keep breaking through with your messaging. Guerilla PR to generate viral content is the way. Hold a press conference in front of Mike Johnson’s house. Put affected citizens in the public eye from Red states to share their stories. Generate buzz.

Someone other than Mike Johnson can swear in Adelita Grijalva, but it requires a procedural step by the House.
While the Spkr is the official who ordinarily administers the oath of office, the House has the authority to pass a resolution to authorize someone else to perform the ceremony.

The Hawaii Supreme Court has assailed SCOTUS in recent rulings.

"The Roberts Court casually dismisses the lessons of American and world history, the warnings of prominent early Americans, and the judiciary’s storied legal minds," the court wrote.
