Just a reminder, the coward who refused to accept an election loss in 2020 and then committed crimes trying to overthrow that election will certainly cheat, abuse his powers, and break the law to try to win the 2026 & 2028 elections.

He’s a real threat to democracy. Believe it.

It's innocent children who will suffer most if Florida continues down their anti-vaccination path. I hope it doesn't take very long for the state to recognize the consequences and reverse course.

They don’t even pretend to care. This is the only story. You can’t open the government if the House refuses to show up.

The amount is meaningless — less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country.

WOW: "The Pentagon confirmed on Friday that it accepted an anonymous $130 million donation to help fund military pay." Trump is doing his best to make the US military his own private militia. This is very dangerous. www.mediaite.com/media/news/t...

I hear from informed sources that these #NoKings rallies are more than twice as big as last time, making them easily the largest protests in US history. Thanks to everyone and especially organizers.

Any American medium that fails to cover the largest protests in American history is failing in the basic mission of informing the public about the facts.

I’m starting to think Trump may ultimately unify the country, as a majority of Americans come to agree it’s time to remove him from power.

Again, it is a full-blown federal felony crime for anyone in the White House or Executive Office of the President to order tax investigations into anyone.

And it's not just a crime to DO it, it's even a federal crime for an employee not to REPORT such an order to the Treasury Inspector General.

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.

AshGC v1.0 is our first neural network charge model. It has been trained to produce charges that are comparable to OpenEye AM1-BCC-ELF10. AshGC 1.0 is identical to the previously released AshGC rc3, except it adds support for single-atom charges.
