I voted YES on Prop 50 because we cannot let anyone silence the will of the people.

California is fighting fire with fire and standing up for democracy everywhere. Vote yes on Prop 50 by mail or in person on Election Day, this Tuesday, November 4.

Gov. Pritzker on Federal agents swarming a Halloween parade in Chicago:

“Don't believe it when they tell you that they're busting the worst of the worst, gangs, or gang members. They're attacking peaceful neighborhoods and terrorizing kids in Halloween parades.”

(between images of the Spotify logo that have been crossed out) DON’T STREAM FASCISM Spotify is treating ICE recruitment like just another ad. But when you turn family separation into a marketing pitch, you're not a platform — you're spreading propaganda. • Cancel your Spotify Premium subscription until Spotify removes all ICE ads • Demand Spotify immediately terminate all ICE and DHS advertising contracts. • Urge artists and podcasters to speak out.

Do you use Spotify Premium? Cancel your subscription until Spotify stops running ICE ads. There are other streaming options that don’t profit from exploiting artists while recruiting for ICE: indivisible.org/cancel-spoti... #CancelSpotify

Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva has now been waiting 36 days to be sworn in to office — setting a new record that any member of Congress has had to wait following a special election.

The potential increases in healthcare costs are staggering, tens of thousands of dollars for millions of families. You can understand why Johnson won’t open the government. He’d hoped that he could paper over the increases before the public became fully aware.

Speaker Mike Johnson is perpetually trying to deceive people. He uses his milquetoast speech and persona to mask his determination to ruthlessly cause harm. He wears his “Christianity” on his sleeve as a decoy from his evil intentions. He is not a good person, he just tries to play one on TV.

With great power comes great responsibility. Republicans are in charge right now. They may not have 60 votes, but they hold the gavel, and that means it’s on them to negotiate.

You cannot keep the government closed, refuse to talk, and then blame Democrats for the mess you created.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

ICE followed the mother into a school and aggressively detained her along with her children.
This is so heartbreaking 💔

One of the biggest layoffs in Amazon’s history—14,000 jobs gone.

They’re blaming “AI efficiency,” calling it the most transformative tech since the internet.

Translation: the machines are here, and they’re coming for middle-class jobs next. Maybe now people will start paying attention.

These Corporations Stopped Worrying About Democracy and Bought Trump a Ballroom It has been nearly five years since the 2020 presidential election, but President Trump continues to baselessly insist i

What do Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Comcast, Meta, and HP have in common?

They all once pledged to stop donations to anyone who tried to overturn the 2020 election.

And now they're all donors to Trump's White House ballroom. https://popular.info/p/these-corporations-stopped-worrying

The president is experiencing OBVIOUS mental and physical decline. Pre$$ ignores. He barks about a third term, and the press asks how he'll do it, rather than pointing out that it's unconstitutional. That's not legal.

Oligarchs purchased the news media and it died.

Corporate news is a cancer.

Everything Trump touches rots.

Funny how this local report skips the part where Target ditched DEI, alienated its core customers, and tanked its own sales.

📌 Target told corporate staff to work from home next week ahead of layoffs—about 1,800 current and open jobs are being cut.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

Inside the Trump family’s global crypto cash machine The U.S. president’s family raked in more than $800 million from sales of crypto assets in the first half of 2025 alone, a Reuters examination found, on top of potentially billions more in unrealized “on paper” gains. Much of that cash came from foreign sources as Donald Trump's sons touted their business on an international investor roadshow.

Trump Org’s income in the first half of 2024 was $51 million.

In the first half of 2025 it rose to $864 million.

A massive percentage came from foreigners.

It should be the biggest scandal in the history of American politics.

But few even care. www.reuters.com/investigatio...

This is disgusting. Blatant corruption at the highest level in plain sight and Oversight Chair Comer Pyle morphs into a combination of Mr. Magoo and Sgt. Schultz.

What we're witnessing with #Melissa is ultra rare in the history of known hurricanes in the Atlantic. This level of sustained intensity and feasting on every joule of ocean heat content without any real disruption is incredible.

Amazon to cut about 14,000 corporate jobs Amazon said on Tuesday it will reduce its corporate workforce by about 14,000 roles, as the tech giant cuts down on operational layers to limit costs amid ballooning investments in artificial intelligence.

The desperately needed services that Americans depend on from our federal government have been skeletonized to funnel money for tax breaks to the wealthiest among us.

What does Amazon do? Lay off 14,000 corporate jobs.

Eric is a Missouri congressman.

He is quite literally dependent on the federal government for his paycheck, his housing, and his free healthcare. He’s a tax recipient.
