California – this Election Day, vote yes on Prop 50.

California’s Prop 50 says that if Republicans are going to abuse the system to try and hang onto power, we’re going to counteract that abuse and create a level playing field in the midterm elections.

Make a plan to vote yes on Prop 50.

“Reverence for the past, and reluctance to destroy until the risks of destruction are fully known, is not timidity but wisdom, in architecture as in life.”

Why Trump Tore Down the East Wing

The act of destruction is precisely the point: a kind of performance piece meant to display Trump’s arbitrary power over the Presidency, including its physical seat.

Something like this has never been done before. And without approvals, at that.

Isn’t this a historically protected property? How can he do this without any approval or oversight ?
The Republican Congress has ceded all their power to him 😢

President Obama is right. Our democracy is on the line.

He’s calling on Californians to vote YES on Prop 50 to protect fair representation and stop extremists from trying to rig Congress.

Great endorsement for Prop 50 from the @sfchronicle Editorial Board. Read the whole article - it is well written and argued.
And VOTE YES on Prop 50, California.

Endorsement: Trump’s tyranny can’t continue to go unchecked. Yes on California’s Prop 50

OPINION: The Republican-controlled Congress has made plain that it intends to enable Trump’s despotic excesses. California can’t afford to stand by and watch, the editorial board writes.

Ossoff: "We have a president who's completely out of control, a crook engaged in unprecedented corruption, who's passing one of the most unpopular agendas in history. The public is turning against him. The opposition is motivated. We can win & we have to win, but we don't have the luxury of despair"

I call on media to REFUSE the framing pushed by right wing chaos agents like Cernovitch & Rufo on this act of what appears to be political violence. The Democratic former Speaker of the Minnesota House was assasinated along with/her husband. The killers was hunting Dems. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Minnesota shooting suspect had a list of dozens of potential Democratic targets, prosecutors say

All of the politicians named in his writing were Democrats, including more than 45 state and federal officials in Minnesota, U.S. Attorney Joseph Thompson said.

"Joining Republicans to fund this govt is worse than failing at opposition. That’s complicity. [Dem] leaders have had 6 months to come up with a plan. If there’s a better plan than a shutdown, great. But if the plan is still nothing-act normal, & hope for the best- then Democrats need new leaders."

If Democrats Have a Better Plan, I’d Like to Hear It
