Make politics cool.
Yesterday, I held a music festival in my district to register voters and speak directly to young people who don’t usually attend political events. 4,500 tickets. Music + advocacy go hand in hand. Madsoul Festival 2025 was a success.

A House Republican in Missouri attacked a group of California voters this month in a post on X for trying to interfere in her state's politics — but then quietly deleted her post after realizing these voters were not from California at all.

Trump sold the next generation out on alternative fuels.

You’ll pay more at the pump — for worse tech — while China floods the market, the supply chain, and the next wave of innovation.

Trump demands an apology from CBS (or else!) says, "The only reason Marjorie 'Traitor' Brown (Green turns Brown under stress!) went BAD is that she was JILTED by the President of the United States (Certainly not the first time she has been jilted!)."

Not only is ICE snatching hard working people who are trying to earn a living, they’re taking their money too?

A witness recorded ICE agents taking a cash box from a taco stand in La Puente during an operation where four people were arrested.

“You’re the most obnoxious reporter in the whole place. A terrible reporter.”

Trump again attacks a Black female reporter, ABC’s Rachel Scott, for asking about releasing the full boat strike video - which he said he would do 5 days ago

And the other journalists stay silent🐔

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

this is going to apply to so many things, like the concussive looming harms from lobotomizing federal labor and consumer protection regulators
One of the most disturbing things about the U.S. government getting themselves into the anti-vaccine game is that it is a time-release poison pill.

It will take a few years before the worst of the harm is visible to enough people that they will truly understand what has been done to them.

The Indiana Senate’s elections committee just voted to advance the GOP gerrymander.

The matter was genuinely uncertain… but the three Republicans who were uncertain as of this afternoon all voted ‘yes,’ pushing it thru 6-3. Moment of truth on Thursday but a first win for Trump and Mike Johnson.

The U.S. is mirroring a pattern that has happened in authoritarian regimes around the world. When a government erects barriers to reproductive care, it doesn’t just cause death and suffering for women and their families. Such policies are often a first step in the gradual decline of democracies.

IT'S IN #PROJECT2025.

So many people have completely discarded it as a fairytale, and yet it's almost completely been actualized.

The Trump administration is following Project 2025 blueprint for Christian nationalist regime change, unchecked by the two other branches of government.

Trump is giving another $12 billion of taxpayer money to bail out farmers again from his disastrous policies. Just like he had to bail them out in his first term from his disastrous policies. But they will continue to vote Republican, as long as they keep getting their welfare checks.

RELEASE THE ENTIRE VIDEO

The more we learn, the harder it is to deny it was a war crime.

📌 The Atlantic: Footage was so graphic it made viewers nauseated. “Worse than we were led to believe.”

📌 NBC News: Pete Hegseth ordered the military to kill all 11 people on the boat.

Donald Trump said he’ll “be involved in” deciding if Netflix can buy Warner Bros.

Is that an open invite for CEOs to curry favor with Trump in exchange for merger approvals?

It should be an independent decision by the Department of Justice based on the law and facts.
Q: Should Netflix be allowed to buy Warner Brothers?

TRUMP: That's a question. They have a very big market share. I'll be involved in that decision
