Democrats must be ruthless.
We can’t stand by and let Donald Trump and Texas Republicans decide the 2026 election before a single vote is cast.
No more playing nice. Californians must vote YES to stop Trump's brazen power grab!

The stock market is tanking today because Moodys downgraded our country’s credit rating. This is due to the GOP tax giveaway to billionaires and the resulting deficits. Meanwhile Donald Trump is busy posting about Bruce Springsteen and Beyoncé.

May I recommend setting up a Proton mail and not using your government work email to file a complaint. And don't do it during your tour of duty hours. Document everything. This isn't legal advice. Just advice from a friend.

Insanity: The deportation flights Trump used military jets for—that Mexico refused to accept—cost the U.S. up to $852,000 per flight to attempt to deport just 80 migrants at a time.
To compare, flights directly chartered by Immigration and Customs Enforcement cost just $8,577.
