"The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself."

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.

Ice in Chicago recently left the scene of an accident that they caused while committing the offense of reckless driving. This kind of thing has to stop & states hv the power to stop it. Courts have supported state police power for 200 yrs. There wd be no reason for them to change their policy now.

In Portland, an ambulance was summoned to the ICE office to treat an injured protester (not clear how he was injured). But when the patient was loaded inside, ICE officers refused to let the ambulance leave and threatened to shoot the ambulance driver: www.wweek.com/news/2025/10...

Documents Allege a Federal Agent at Portland ICE Threatened to Shoot an Ambulance Driver

Feds delayed medics who had come to pick up an injured protester. Then, according to confidential incident reports, the agents became aggressive.

"Conversion therapy" is a polite name for something that isn’t conversion and isn’t therapy. It’s abuse.

Imagine being 3rd in line for the Presidency (Mike Johnson) and having NO IDEA what is going on. He admits it daily.
"I haven't seen that" "I haven't heard that" are his answers to every question.

Imagine making six figures to not do anything you were entrusted to do.

…getting paid to not work while thousands of civil servants around you were getting fired.

…betraying those who counted on you to represent them, all to appease a wannabe dictator.

The GOP Congress is a helluva thing.
