California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

At it's peak yesterday, wind and solar provided 135% of California's power needs. Yes, you read that right, it had enough to export it's energy to surrounding states.

But when big oil and gas donate hundreds of millions to Republican political campaigns, that doesn't matter, only the grift does.

A tweet by WeThePeople reads, β€œJack Smith was hired months after the raid.” The post quotes a tweet by Aaron Rupar showing Eric Trump in a TV interview, saying, β€œSure enough, we find out that Jack Smith is planting manilla folders on the office of my father...” The screenshot shows Eric Trump speaking on a Fox News-style broadcast with a city skyline backdrop.

The whole linear progress of time thing remains a challenge for MAGA.

An August 2025 analysis found that 65% of people taken into ICE detention in fiscal year 2025 had no criminal convictions.

The same analysis indicated that over 93% of those booked into detention had NO conviction for a violent offense.

The criminal is HIM.

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

Natural gas prices are low, but your monthly gas bill is up. Here's why Gas utility bills are rising even though natural gas prices are down. That's because a much larger share of your gas bill now goes to infrastructure instead of fuel.

Even Newsmax rejects the Pentagon’s new press restrictions ahead of signing deadline β€˜Newsmax has no plans to sign the letter,’ the network stated on Monday. β€˜We believe the requirements are unnecessary and onerous and hope that the Pentagon with review the matter further’

So far, the only media outlet that has signed Pete Hegseth's new prohibitive press policy for covering the Pentagon is One America News.

Even Newsmax and the Washington Times have rejected the letter.

In case you got lost in the steaming pile of bullshit Speaker Johnson’s been shoveling, the shutdown fight Democrats are holding the line on is about healthcare for hard-working Americans.

Leader Jeffries isn’t flinching, isn’t wobbling; he’s been consistent and hasn’t wavered on this issue.

Which was probably a big part of the reason Biden was too scared to exert the necessary pressure on Israel to get it done.

β€œA Law Without a Way to Enforce It” - Bolts In North Dakota as elsewhere, Native voters face a triple threat: judges targeting the VRA, Trump officials hostile to discrimination laws, and a funding crunch depleting their work.

NEW: A federal appeals court tossed out a redistricting lawsuit filed by tribes in ND, saying they weren't allowed to bring a suit under the VRA β€”Β only the DOJ can.

That's just the tip of the iceberg of really escalating threats against Native voters.

Must-read, quite distressing reporting:

Trump says supporters β€˜more in love’ with him than ever, as MAGA world splits over Iran President Donald Trump is downplaying any notion that his supporters are cooling on him amid uncertainty over whether he will order a U.S. strike on Iran.

Trump still insisting he won in a landslide and everyone loves him.
