Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.
Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.
The American people need more from their leaders.

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison.
So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

We’re going to have to get used to this. 2026 and 2028 are likely to look very similar.
No matter what side of the aisle you’re on, attempts to prevent US citizens from voting should be a red line for you.
We can’t allow terroristic threats to keep us from the polls.

Breaking from NJ AG Platkin:
"Early this morning, law enforcement responded to threats that were received by email involving certain polling places in Bergen, Essex, Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth, Ocean, and Passaic Counties. Law enforcement … have worked swiftly to secure these polling locations."

California and 20 other states are suing the Trump Administration for suspending next month's SNAP benefits despite having funds ready for this kind of situation.
This is cruelty. The federal government is abandoning the 5.5M Californians relying on this critical program.

I’m sorry, but Lily Allen straight up EVISCERATED that man. And just ahead of the final season of stranger things. That man will know no peace while doing his press tour and I am here for it

As an American, I don’t like the idea of having to pay to be a part of a political party. But seeing this surge of the Green Party and it becoming increasingly clear that they’re the best party to fight Reform, I’ve just made the leap and joined

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 don’t understand when people say “if I won the lottery I would still have to work, otherwise I’d just be bored”
Like, I would have absolutely no problem keeping busy. But it would just be doing things that I *want* to be doing
