We can nullify Texas gerrymandering by passing #Prop50. This temporary measure will level the playing field and give us a fighting chance to swing back the House next year.

You can knock on doors with us every weekend in SF. Ballots are arriving in mailboxes now! Sign up link in comments.

CA: due to recent USPS changes, mail in ballots in some places may not be postmarked the day they are mailed but will instead be postmarked a day later.

Ballots must be postmarked by election day to be counted.

Mail in your ballot early or use a ballot drop box to make sure your voice is heard.

Mail in ballots more than 50 miles from each of CA’s six regional processing facilities may not be postmarked the day they are mailed

#DidYouKnow Tr*mp’s tariffs will cost families an additional $2,400 in 2025? Already, beef prices have hit record highs, rising 9%, while vegetable prices shot up nearly 40% from June-July. Worse, his tariffs will affect 75% of U.S. food imports!

Get the breakdown by your state below:

Don't Inflate Our Plates

This page breaks down how these prices have changed under the Trump administration and Republican control of Congress and what federal policies contribute to rising costs.
