"This protest, Johnson said, would be a 'hate America rally' run by 'the pro-Hamas wing and Antifa people.'

"[The first 'No Kings' event back in June], which attracted millions of people, was almost comedically star-spangled in its affect and remarkably peaceful in its execution."

"No Kings is happening, and this is how Republicans are talking about it.

Accusations like 'terrorist wing,' 'pro-Hamas,' and 'Antifa' aren’t just insults. They’re phrases that unlock, in the view of the administration, a permission structure for state violence."

You know who hates America

The guys who took healthcare away from millions of Americans

The ones who CUT billions of dollars for programs like cancer research and FEMA

Who sit and watch the president use military troops to attack our cities

That’s Mike Johnson

HE hates America

Mike Johnson said this could be the longest government shutdown and that he “won’t negotiate” with Democrats. Of course he won't; if the shutdown ends, he has to swear in Adelita Grijalva who would provide the last vote needed to release the Epstein files.

This Indigenous Peoples' Day, California celebrates the contributions, cultural vibrance and adaptability of all Indigenous people who now call California home.
I, Gavin Newsom, Governor of the State of California, do hereby proclaim October 13, 2025 as Indigenous Peoples’ Day. California again proclaims this day as Indigenous Peoples’ Day, the seventh formal celebration of the strength of culture and the memory of land that endure for all Indigenous people who now call California home, from those who originate from and maintain deep relationships with these lands and waters, to those who have carried the gifts of their languages, cultures, foods, and families across oceans, borders, and generations. On this Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we resoundingly cheer the indomitable fortitude, cultural vibrance, and adaptability of Indigenous peoples from across the globe who call this place home, even as their souls resonate with lands and waters of their ancestral homelands. NOW THEREFORE I, GAVIN NEWSOM, Governor of the State of California, do hereby proclaim October 13, 2025 as “Indigenous Peoples’ Day.”

A record 29% — nearly a third! — of all new cars purchased in California during July, August, and September were zero-emission vehicles.

DC may be fine with selling out American innovation to China, but California will keep charging ahead toward cleaner air for our communities.
