Son of immigrants, Marco Rubio, calls human beings "despicable" and wants to dump them in other countries like trash.

Since he loves authoritarian cruelty so much, he should deport himself to Cuba’s dictatorship and stop violating the rule of law.

If despicable has a face in this story—It’s him.

California joins the nation in recognizing Disability Employment Awareness Month — a celebration of the 7M+ adults with disabilities who call California home and enrich our state.

Together, we can keep growing an inclusive workforce for the fourth-largest economy in the world.

Two years after Hamas' attack on Israel, California mourns the lives lost on Oct. 7th and in the days since.

Peace and healing will come only with the safe return of all hostages — and with real action from leaders to deliver the justice that everyone in the region deserves.

A talented protester played the theme to the “Schindler's List” with his violin at Portland’s ICE detention center last night.

I hope the world gets the message.

Agreed! People tend not to care until it personally affects them, it's astonishing so many have not connecting the dots. When the MILITARY attacks an American city, it's an attack on every city and every citizen. The entire country should be out in the streets! #NoKings is October 18th!

persists as always.

Republicans own this shutdown by refusing to fund your healthcare.

The Democrats fight to defend your fundamental rights.

Elizabeth Warren @warren.senate.gov · 3d

Because of Republicans' health care cuts, families will be forced to the brink of bankruptcy from one bad medical diagnosis.

That's what this shutdown fight is about.

Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress own this government shutdown.

Everyone has to wake up and realize that when a fascist hammer is allowed to hammer anything, EVERYTHING looks like a nail. There will never be an end to the purge of "undesirables." It's just a convenient excuse to target everyone the people in power hate.

Rep. Robert Garcia isn’t backing down and I fully support his relentless pursuit.

While Mike Johnson blocks the final signature to keep the Epstein files buried, Garcia is demanding justice for survivors and truth for the American people.
No more delays.
No more cover-ups.

Red states worried about tech companies "greenwashing"? I thought I smelled a rat. 🐀 They're concerned about tech companies pushing utilities toward "net-zero" goals and threatening Trump's efforts to "unleash American energy."

The Trump/MAGA Project 2025 plan:

Destroy the Affordable Care Act

Defund Medicaid

Eliminate the federal workforce

And give tax breaks to billionaires

They don’t care if 17 million people lose insurance

Or if millions more will see their premiums double

And that thousands of Americans will die

Colin Karpernick paid for an independent autopsy of Trey Reed. I’m not seeing results about this on “major news sources” so be aware it’s still breaking news which can change, but this points to it not being a suicide. I hope his family gets justice!

Trey Reed Case Update: Kaepernick-Funded Autopsy Reveals It Wasn't Suicide

An independent autopsy funded by Colin Kaepernick has cast doubt on the official ruling of Trey Reed's death as suicide, revealing new evidence that raises urgent questions.
