BREAKING: A federal court blocked Texas from implementing its new congressional map that discriminates against voters of color for the 2026 midterm elections.

This ruling reaffirms that voters get to choose our politicians, not the other way around.

BREAKING: Oklahoma has granted Tremane Wood clemency.

This is good news. Tremane will not face execution for a crime he didn't commit.

The Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board believes that Tremane Wood shouldn't be put to death, yet the state is planning to execute him tomorrow for a murder he didn't commit.

Governor Kevin Stitt must act now and stop his execution.

The university of Michigan released its consumer confidence index.

US consumer confidence is at the lowest level since 1951.

Trump tanked the economy in his first term!

Is he’s doing it to us again?

Two-thirds of California's power comes from clean energy.

For 9 in 10 days so far this year, we were 100% powered for some part of the day by clean energy.

The Golden State has become the world's fourth-largest economy because of our climate leadership, not in spite of it.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

How the shutdown relates to autocracy. For the tyrant Congress and Parliament are expendable. I am the only one that matters Trump tells us. We deserve good governance and leaders who care about our welfare.

Not enough people are talking about this:

Even before Trump cut off SNAP funding, he and Republicans in Congress made the biggest cuts to food assistance in U.S. history.

SNAP has existed for 60 years. Benefits have gone out every single month over those six decades, including during government shutdowns. Until now.

Make no mistake: The money is available to fund SNAP during this shutdown. Trump is making a choice to withhold it.

Don’t forget this.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106.

12 days of work in 106 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.
