If we are going to go through the pain of a shutdown, it needs to be to pass legislation to #endgerrymandering. Who cares if we win the ACA battle if we lose the war on fair election maps that cement 1-party rule?

The right has executed a decades-long, slow burn plan to destroy democracy and sadly they are crushing it. The left continues to respond with meaningless marches. I've been marching for 30 years. I'm tired, mentally and physically. We need new ideas.

Trump knows he can't win the 2026 midterms fair & square, so he's cheating by demanding more House seats from red states.

We won’t let him. We’re turning out voters for Prop 50—the state’s redistricting ballot initiative. Sign up to make calls or knock doors!

Donald Trump thinks bailing out billionaires is an "essential service."

But making sure Americans' health insurance premiums don’t double? Not so much.

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.

My hubby and I are registered Dems. How did he get on this mailing list? Only his name was listed, presumably because he's the man of the house to the GOP. So sexist!

Helpful tip - you can refuse mail and return it to the sender just because you don't want it.

Hillbilly MAGAs don't have stocks or 401ks and don't care that the economy is tanking. I've been to KY where I've had bag 'boys' and waitresses who appeared to be about 80 years old, no exaggeration. I'd want to own the comparatively wealthy libtard elites as well. Hurt people hurt people.

The purpose of these tariffs is to be able to lift them to those who bow down to him and sacrifice their dignity. That is what he did to the GOP, the billionaires, and is doing now to Big Law. Those who stand up will be punished, those who bend a knee and humiliate themselves will be rewarded.
