We have just over two weeks to pass Prop 50. And when we do, it will send a message of hope across the country, that change is possible if we do the work.

So, let’s get to it. linktr.ee/cadem

Earlier this year I revealed that my investigators had uncovered a massive Epstein file at the Treasury Department containing bank records. They found over 4700 wire transfers totaling $1.1 BILLION in and out of his JP Morgan Chase accounts alone.

If ANYONE ELSE ON THE PLANET did to our White House what Donald Trump just did to our White House, Republicans would be losing their motherfucking minds.

Trump has launched seven deadly strikes in the Caribbean Sea.

Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.

He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.

Regardless of party, North Carolina voters OPPOSE gerrymandering.

But today, politicians in the legislature are defying the will of voters and pushing to impose a new, extreme gerrymander on the people of our state. That is outrageous!

🚨ACT NOW – Tell NC politicians: NO gerrymanders - ccnc.me/cd1

Gov. Josh Stein on the North Carolina Republican legislature redistricting: "They're trying to decide for the voters who their congressperson is. In this representative democracy, the people choose their representatives—it should not be the representatives choosing their people."

When Trump announced 4 days ago randomly that India agreed to stop buying Russia oil, I was surprised because Russia is their largest supplier, we are still in a trade war with India, and their govt has said nothing about it. Turns out he just lied and made it up. Shocker.

CNN: Other than gas prices, when are other cost of living prices going to come down?

REP. LISA McCLAIN: Listen, we have a massive hole that we need to dig out from from the last administration

CNN: But this administration is 9 months in and Trump promised to lower prices on day one

A fascinating piece about life as an in-the-trenches GOP operative in the Trump era and the compromises you have to make. Almost all are now fully bought in. But some remain concerned. This one decided he had enough.

Please read and share!

You can’t make this up:

A 155mm artillery shell prematurely detonated during a Marine Corps demo — raining shrapnel onto cops guarding VP JD Vance.

Trump’s team mocked Newsom for closing I-5 “for no reason.”

Turns out Newsom’s safety call may have just saved lives.

Competence vs chaos.

Spotted at the U Village QFC (I think 6 packs were like $13 lol)

The Mariners have one last chance to do epic shit tomorrow in Toronto. I hope they seize the moment and get it done for all of us.
A display for Big Dumper Beer at a grocery store end cap. There is a neon light sign that says “DO EPIC SH*T” and a Mariners navy blue with the S and Mariners logo on it. The beer cans are teal and navy blue with a cartoon drawing of Cal Raleigh riding in a car. “Big Dumper Beer” is written in white cursive.

Just got off chat with Paramount+ Tech Support. Apparently the only way their iOS app will work is if customers run naked, with no firewalls or VPNs running at all.

While some of their shows are entertaining, there’s nothing on their network worth getting a virus over.

No Paramount+ for me.

There's been a lot of chatter about how no admin can stand if 3.5% of the voting population is consistently ranged against it. I hear 7m took part in protests, and suspect the total is more like 10m. Voting population is 174m, which means 5.74%; if numbers continue to double, we’ll soon be at 10%!

I wondered. Many of my favorite shots from the Grand Canyon are the same: a short walk away from an overlook or a pull-off. Still, a beautiful photo from a not-well-known vantage point. Thank you for sharing it!
