Hey California, we need your help! Talk to your neighbors about passing Prop 50 to unrig the midterm maps. As Trump and his GOP allies try to grab permanent control of the House, California has a key role to play in leveling the playing field — and our tool makes it easy to talk to your neighbors. 👇

Rep. @maxwellfrost.bsky.social has a message for the GOP: “You run the House, the Senate, and the White House. If you want to pass the evil bill, do it yourself.”

Surrendering to tyranny only invites more of it.

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

WAKE UP. THE PRESIDENT IS DECLARING HIS INTENTION TO USE US TROOPS AGAINST AMERICAN CITIES THAT VOTED AGAINST HIM. If you have access to elites, it’s your moral obligation to go scream at them, physically shake them around if you can, until they realize WHAT IS HAPPENING. Stop pretending!

The nakedly xenophobic pitch is followed by the promise of $50k signing bonus and student loan forgiveness while living out your white nationalist fever dream. Perfectly on brand for this administration, and paid for with our tax $$.

The latest I.C.E. recruiting tv ad ran today, targeting police in sanctuary cities who might be frustrated that they can't terrorize enough brown people in their current job.

NEW figures show that 61,226 people are currently in ICE detention — the highest number ever in US history.

According to ICE data, 70% of these people have no criminal conviction.

We cannot stand idly by or remain silent. This is a time that demands we use our collective power against this hostile authoritarian regime. bit.ly/47pXvAD

Maxwell has been transferred from prison to what’s basically a country club facility.

BOP rules prohibit a convicted sex offender like her from receiving such a privilege.

This is the corrupt quo in return for her quid: saying whatever Trump wants.

Check the business center of Bondi's hotel for the Epstein files.

Corporate profits have hit record highs.

CEOs are paid 290x as much as a typical worker.

We're subsidizing huge corporations that pay lousy wages through food stamps and Medicaid.

But instead of cracking down on corporate greed, Republicans want to punish the working poor.

As GOP Tries to Pass Tax Bill, Senate Includes Billions in Benefits for Oil Industry — Inside Climate News Draft legislation released by the Senate Finance Committee includes $18 billion in new tax benefits for oil and gas companies and guts those for renewable energy and electric vehicles.

The real enemy of this administration is cosmopolitanism. Whether in Los Angeles or South Africa, multiracial pluralistic democracy is a threat to them because it means their “us or them” model of the world is wrong. So they stir up trouble on purpose and gleefully lie.

Just a reminder to all who are protesting.

Be loud, be proud, but also don't instigate violence or vandalism. Stay peaceful, stay telegenic, and make it very, very clear for the cameras that if there's violence going on, it's the feds doing it.

Beautiful Day Of Love 🙄

Yet citizens trying to stop mass kidnappings in their own community,

(by militia men in masks,
and without warrants),

of neighbors, friends & family members being deported to work prison camps in a violent country without due process,

are the insurrectionists?

🤔 hmm

Remember when 47 threatened GOP senators not to pass the Secure The Border Act (H.R. 2) so that he could run on the immigration issue? Conservatives got virtually everything they wanted in the bill, but they bowed to 47. The entire GOP own the actions of ICE and CBP; and lack of due process.

44% of all American children benefit from Medicaid or SNAP.

Republicans' budget guts both programs.

Yes: the so-called "party of family values" is putting 34 MILLION kids' health care access and food security at risk.

When right-wing podcasters hold more sway than scientists, this is what you get.

Statement from the NJAG Matt Platkin

In today’s “Wait A Damn Minute” we expose the truth about Trump’s so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill Act”:

Trump is pulling a reverse Robin Hood - he’s taking from the poor to give to the ultra-rich.

I’m your Shadow Press Secretary and here are the facts.

ICE lied to a Kansas mom tricking her into showing up for green card—it was a trap to detain her.

She was sent a letter of approval for a permanent residency interview—her husband became U.S. citizen in March.

"We were lied to, and our family has been torn apart," cried her daughter.

‘Liberation Day’ Marks America's Slide Towards Irrelevance With new tariffs, slowing economic growth, chaos in government, and a debt ceiling crisis looming, America is being isolated in ways that most serve Vladimir Putin.

📄 NEW: Trump is calling his big tariff announcement "Liberation Day," but it all looks like a big fat gift to Vladimir Putin, and a controlled demolition of the United States as a world power.

This Is Just The Beginning Of The End Of Social System Nets Under Trump -Which Will Ultimately Be The Downfall Of His Plan.

California Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas (D-Salinas): "there are currently more kids with measles in Texas than there are transgender athletes in the NCAA. That's the epidemic we should all be worried about."

DOGE Plans to Rebuild SSA Code Base in Months, Risking Benefits and System Collapse Social Security systems contain tens of millions of lines of code written in COBOL, an archaic programming language. Safely rewriting that code would take years—DOGE wants it done in months.

Between the arrogant tech twerps who think “we’ve got this,” and the malicious characters behind them who want the system to break, so they can fix it through privatizing with tech bros and private equity, there’s a LOT to worry about here.
