AND puts the power in the hands of the people of California. Vote YES this November!
We still have to make it so!
Red states gerrymander. Blue states want fair maps. When democracy’s on the line, we’ll fight for it. Newsom & CA Dems are calling a special election to defend fair elections, counter Trump’s election rigging, and for the use of nonpartisan nationwide redistricting commissions. Yes on Prop 50
This
Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.
Was there last year, trying to walk back from an event to get to hotel was challenging.
Shameful.
Because that’s not what it says. They have to be individually impeached and convicted.
This is some bs...
Stay ahead of the heat this Labor Day: 💧 Drink plenty of water ☀️ Limit outdoor activity during peak hours ✅ Check on neighbors, kids, and at-risk elders 🐶 Never leave children or pets in cars Let’s take care of each other, California.
RADDATZ: You talk about what can be done. After shootings in Buffalo & Uvalde, Congress passed a bipartisan Safer Communities Act. It provided hundreds of millions for schools to expand mental health services. You didn't vote for it. Why? TOM EMMER: I don't remember the reasons I didn't vote for it
We are already here. Wake up, America! www.pbs.org/newshour/amp...
Pride Is A Protest ✊🏼
They don’t care if you have papers or not. What they care about is whether you look like an immigrant from south of the border.

All of LA is in the Central District, all of CA is in the 9th Circuit.
“…I am infuriated that the Air Force plans to grant military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it.” My latest in @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/honoring-a...
I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is. This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.
A federal judge has ordered Florida to shut down "Alligator Alcatraz," after the state spent a staggering $218M to build the now-vacant detention camp. Closing it will run taxpayers another $20M. An utterly cruel and costly waste.
If he had been sworn in, by definition under federal law, this would be a “high misdemeanor.” Still, this is egregiously unbecoming for a soon-to-be seated federal judge. Emil Bove Continued to Work at Justice Dept. After Judicial Confirmation www.nytimes.com/2025/08/29/u...
Trump’s Pentagon is reinstalling a 20-foot portrait of Robert E. Lee — with a slave guiding his horse in the background — at West Point. Trump and Hegseth are honoring traitors who fought against America to keep people enslaved. There’s nothing “patriotic” about this.
“Is the federal government saying that a disaster case manager can’t even advise someone where to get help if they are undocumented or their family is? Is that really what we’ve come to?” wapo.st/3HBdAJc
A lot of politically connected vendors literally made hundreds of millions of dollars off taxpayers through no bid contracts in just two months of Alligator Alcatraz operating. Waste, fraud, and abuse.
Kellogg was sidelined specifically because he’s a better negotiator. They aren’t actually trying to end this war.
Chicago keeping art alive:
As hard as it is to believe, ICE arrested two firefighters, IN THE MIDDLE OF A FIRE, after stopping all of them from fighting the fires to line up and show id. Every time you think they've hit rock bottom, they dig a few feet more. Worst of the worst, indeed. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...
Like I said. They aren’t embarrassed by history, it’s their playbook.
CA FOLKS - Donald Trump can't win the 2026 midterms fair and square - so he's trying to cheat by calling up his cronies in red states and asking for seats. California: YOU have the power to stop him. Vote YES on Prop 50 to defend fair elections and STOP Trump's election rigging.
A couple of months ago, the Navy dishonored civil rights hero Harvey Milk by removing his name from a ship. Now, the Air Force is dishonoring itself by celebrating a domestic terrorist called Ashli Babbitt.
CDC leaders on why the left: “I resigned because I could not be part of the weaponization of public health and CDC… we should always be questioning - but you shouldn’t have a preconceived idea before you have the data.”
The other time was 9/11, but that slipped through our fingers, as well.
False. Please delete your post.
Never thought about it that way. Good point.
After DEA GOONS begin to harass and question a man sitting in Starburst Plaza in NE Washington DC, local neighbors remind him of his rights and stand with him until the GOONS give up on their harassment.
National Guard is now tasked with picking up garbage in DC
On the same day the FDA restricted access to COVID vaccines, the CDC director was sacked and top CDC scientists are resigning. And it’s barely been two weeks since an antivax conspiracy theorist fired 180 bullets at CDC headquarters. None of this is making America healthier. What a disaster.
The four IA specials this year have been in eastern Iowa and western Iowa; rural Iowa and urban Iowa; Dem districts and Republican districts. And they've all seen very similar overperformances: 22, 24, 25 & 26 points. This is not good news for the GOP's hopes of holding #IAGov & #IASen.
HUGE FLIP: Democrat Catelin Drey wins deep-red state Senate seat in Iowa, breaking the GOP's supermajority. Drey won by 11 points in a district Donald Trump carried by 11 points last year. It's another massive overperformance. The Iowa GOP should be very worried for the midterms. Our full writeup:
yes !
There’s something afoot in Iowa! Second flip of a GOP state seat there this year. Well done!
When I was the elected prosecutor in KC, if asst prosecutors repeatedly took cases to the grand jury that were not indicted there would be consequences. It would mean that they were trying to indict people with insufficient evidence which is unacceptable and wrong.
Iowa tonight is exactly why Republicans are redrawing their maps.
First, they came for John Bolton And I did speak out Because even though I'm not a nutty right-wing warmonger with a ridiculous mustache, I am an American who is horrified by a simple-minded tyrant using our Justice Department to avenge his petty, personal grudges.

Free post, no subscription required. I am tired of people trying to convince us that both parties are the same. Hiding behind that just proves that you approve of the current administration's actions. open.substack.com/pub/ocracoke...
The opening stanza pretty well sums up the situation: “We're in the middle of a hostile government takeover “I wanna talk about it but I'll be late for work “And if you say, "Wait a minute, who do we have to stop this?" We had one but you didn't want that lady in office (office, office, office)”
If you're in GA District 21 GO VOTE TODAY!
Pritzker: This is not about fighting crime. This is about the President and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.
Judge Xinis: Your clients are *absolutely forbidden* from removing Mr. Abrego from the continental United States. You understand this? DOJ: Yes.
Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."
Let’s be clear: deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda makes no sense—it’s not his home country. Nothing about this process has been fair. ICE is targeting him with cruelty. This is the weaponization of government, not justice.
It’s spreading.
Only accept if they are Oatmeal Raisin.
Kharkiv right now ❤️🩹 I’m almost crying. We’re banned from organizing celebrations. Warned against crowds and gatherings due to constant russian bombings. But we’re alive, and we’ll keep living. That’s our collective "fuck you" to russia.
Yeah, how about it, @thehill.com? 🤨
Garcia: What we got was complete bullshit. We demanded the full Epstein files, and that’s not what was sent over. The White House cover-up clearly continues. What they sent us was 33,000 pages of documents that have already been in the public domain.
Purging the military of competent officers to make way for a cadre of yesmen as they rename bases for Confederates and convert them into concentration camps to hold our neighbors This is not national security. This is insanity.
Virginia Giuffre's family: "The content of these transcripts is in direct contradiction with felon Ghislaine Maxwell's conviction for child sex trafficking. During DAG Todd Blanche's bizarre interview, she is never challenged about her court-proven lies, providing her a platform to rewrite history."
No lies told here.
Schiff on the Bolton raid: "They're essentially going after any critic, any opposition in an effort to intimidate them. That's what this is about. It's not about Bolton per se. It's about anyone else that like Bolton might stand up to the president."
John Bolton might be the most apt “first they came for the socialists….” moment I’ve seen. Everyone hates the guy — he should be in jail as a war criminal by now — but we’ve firmly arrived at the “throwing political opponents in jail” stage and uhhhh yeah it doesn’t get better from there.
I’m quite a bit older than that guy and am pretty sure I’d do at least as well.

Heather C Richardson TACO admits his party can't win a free election He wants to rig our elections In July 2024, he told an audience of evangelical Christians that if they voted for him “in 4 yrs, you don't have to vote again We'll have it fixed so good, you're not gonna have to vote"
What happened to Alaska and Hawai’i? (48 star flag).
It’s all about sending a message. The raid is the message. It’s all about retribution. He is the retribution president. As with troops on our streets, it’s all about normalizing fascism. This is fascism. Fascism is here. Too many Americans are too “busy” to care. But it’s here.

No. Distraction.

You do not have to like John Bolton to see this for what it is.
Russia bombed a USA plant in Ukraine. Maybe ask Trump about it?
Are the Epstein Files in the Barrel?
🚨 Respect for authority is earned or entirely dismissed by the conduct of those in power. These fools have waited their entire lives to beat the shit out of people. Respect and fear are not the same and they elicit different responses.
Dear Mexico, when our guys try to hop the fence to paint your side black — I'm sure you have a detention center somewhere you can stick them in. We don't need them back.
Update on #AligatorAlcatraz. Breaking. youtu.be/60z7PGM_mNo?...
Check this shit! Earlier today, ICE tried to break into private property in Lynwood, California — no judicial warrant, no authority. Acting like thugs, not federal agents. Spoiler alert: Lynwood does not play. This trio of goons got sent packing.
From Gov. Newsom: “MAGA am I doing this right?” Expert trolling!
This!!!! And this is coming from on the kindest people on the planet!!! We love you Chef!!! #Pinks

A late night message from Gavin Newsom
Please don’t call this number multiple times a day
The FBI came to my house to intimidate me because I’m critical of Trump. And they wouldn’t let my girlfriend take a picture of their badges. They had printouts of my posts.

I love this trolling of Mango Mussolini. 🤣
.@kfile.bsky.social: "One thing that we found really interesting was these flight logs from Epstein's private jet, which were part of that investigation into Ghislaine Maxwell. And they really tell you a story of how close these guys are." youtu.be/tR2HfyCmVKA?si=AjvK0vSe5tXS8yi0
He is militarizing the Capitol. This does not end well.
"If you live in Alaska, I need you to buy a Ukrainian flag and turn any area that Putin is going to be into a sea of Ukrainian flags - so many that, when Putin lands, all he's going to see is just yellow and blue."
Trump’s move to mobilize the National Guard against Americans in DC is another telltale sign of his authoritarian ambitions. But at some point signs of authoritarianism stop being signs and become symptoms of an autocratic regime. We’re far past that point now. www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/t...
