Senator, I appreciate everything you're doing and saying but I also think at a certain point you and your Democratic colleagues need to be more direct and just say plainly that Speaker Johnson is a massive liar who lies all the time to advance his agenda.

The nation’s largest private prison company is asking the Supreme Court to give federal contractors blanket immunity from lawsuits — including human trafficking claims.

If they win, private contractors could operate with even less accountability than they do now.

The Human Trafficking Case That Could Hand Government Contractors Blanket Immunity

In a little-noticed Supreme Court case, the country’s largest private prison operator argues companies should be shielded from lawsuits when doing the government’s dirty work.

Something needs to be done about the Supreme Court. Can they be impeached?

No, Speaker Johnson: The No Kings Rally on October 18 is not a “hate America” rally. Quite the contrary. It’s a rally of millions of people who believe in American freedom and are not going to allow you and President Trump to turn us into an authoritarian country.

Schiff: "If a president in secret can put names on a list and kill them, then there is no war power still retained by Congress, and there's no check on an executive who may drag us into another war."

The GOP can blame Dems for the shutdown, but these are the facts:

* The GOP doesn't have a budget, which was due Sept. 30

*The GOP doesn't even have a PLAN to make a budget

*The GOP has only been in session 2 weeks since JULY, when the Speaker lost the vote for releasing the EPSTEIN files

More Americans blame Trump and congressional Republicans for shutdown, new poll finds

A new poll found that more Americans blame President Donald Trump and Republicans for the federal government shutdown than Democrats.

California leading the way!

Governor Gavin Newsom @governor.ca.gov · 1d

I am expanding access to behavioral health services through newly signed legislation that ensures individuals in crisis receive timely treatment, housing, and ongoing support in coordination with courts and local agencies.

We won't sit on the sidelines to address this crisis.

Governor Newsom signs legislation approving updates to CARE Court, California's court-supervised behavioral health care system launched in 2023.

The tendency of the media is to look to Congress to find potential presidential candidates. But it may be that the states harbor the most formidable candidates. Trump is giving them a chance to show their stuff. Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/how-trump-is-pushing-these-three
