Artillery Shell Detonated Over Interstate 5 During Marinesโ€™ Celebration, California Officials Say

We love our Marines and owe a debt of gratitude to Camp Pendleton, but next time, the Vice President and the White House shouldnโ€™t be so reckless with peopleโ€™s lives for their vanity projects.

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight.

Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called โ€œkidsโ€ to excuse their hate. Theyโ€™re not boys and girls, theyโ€™re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

One of my โ€œprogressiveโ€ opponents took thousands of dollars from a gas executive. Call me crazy, but so-called โ€œprogressivesโ€ shouldnโ€™t be taking money from the fossil fuel industry.

Thatโ€™s why Iโ€™m not taking any money from fossil fuel executives, and asking my opponents to make the same pledge.

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

Hegseth's Comments on the Military Show "He still has a lot to learn," says Amy McGrath
YouTube video by Democratic Majority Action PAC Hegseth's Comments on the Military Show "He still has a lot to learn," says Amy McGrath

Hegseth claimed we need to โ€œreturn to the male standardโ€ in combat jobs, but there has never been a separate male and female standard. When women entered combat roles, one standard was set, and weโ€™ve been meeting it ever since. You can either do the job or you canโ€™t. Period.

Stephen Miller says the president has โ€œplenary authority.โ€ What they really believe is that the president can use the military, including the National Guard, to police our own cities.

Our troops have better things to do than stand around & pick up trash. This is unacceptable.

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.
