The language tucked into Article 1, Section 5 might be a mechanism for the GOP to maintain their House majority after the midterms, even if it’s clear the Democrats have flipped the House. trib.al/PSASHlK

California's success is not an accident — it's by design.

- 18% of the world's R&D
- 13,000+ active patents in the UC system
- Most Fortune 500 companies
- $180B invested in infrastructure

We dominate in every single category across the board.

Tuesday - ICE agents used pepper spray to push through a crowd that blocked their vehicles as they checked IDs in a Somali neighborhood of Minneapolis.

The Trump administration is targeting this community and they know it.

Immigrants ‘plucked out of line’ at citizenship ceremony at Faneuil Hall “the cradle of liberty”.

If you ever claimed you want immigrants to do it the right way, this should outrage you. On the other hand, If you think this was okay, you need to come to terms with your white nationalist views.

Trump has repeatedly put farmers out of business. Has driven up their costs for everything, including labor. Has them begging him for welfare every year. Tells them he knows more about their business than they do. Lies to them. And they still vote Republican and send him money.

Oligarchs want YOU to pay for these data centers with higher water & electric bills.

Last week's false earthquake warning in Northern California hammers home the real-life impacts of the Trump Administration's incompetence and neglect.

Their disaster strategy endangers Californians and our response to future earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis, and floods.

It is evident that there are significant concerns regarding the accuracy of statements made by Trump, as many believe he has manipulated the truth to achieve his goals. There is a growing need for Americans to critically evaluate his motivations and the implications of his actions.
