California – this Election Day, vote yes on Prop 50.

California’s Prop 50 says that if Republicans are going to abuse the system to try and hang onto power, we’re going to counteract that abuse and create a level playing field in the midterm elections.

Make a plan to vote yes on Prop 50.

Less than a week to cast your vote! Get those ballots turned in, preferably at a drop box. The federal shutdown is affecting postal delivery! Please vote and then help 5 friends to vote! You can find your nearest drop box here. kingcounty.gov/en/dept/elec...

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

Why bother making an actual trade deal when you can just announce a new “framework” every few months and manipulate the markets?

This is their playbook for the midterms. Intimidation and harassment - if we are lucky it will only be that. Because their full playbook is most likely much worse but this is the warmup act.

To the people who stayed home and did not vote because Harris was not progressive enough for you, or voted third party, look what you bought us all.

A minimalist vertical poster with plain off-white background and centered black sans-serif text reading: “United States drops to 57th in press freedom 2025.” The layout is simple and stark, evoking seriousness and decline without decorative elements.

MAGA lobbying expenditures hit record highs — up 21% from last year. Firms linked to Trump allies like Ballard Partners have quadrupled revenue.

2025 could see the largest increase since 1998, as MAGA-linked firms boom & Nvidia, AMD, Pfizer & AstraZeneca strike high-stakes deals. #BlueSky #NewsSky
MAGA lobbying firms are booming. This is where their money goes.
Business is booming for MAGA-aligned lobbyists in Washington.
