I, like many of you, have been contemplating our predicament since election night.
We are in a losing war for our democracy and I'm not sure we collectively know who our true adversary is.
It's not the voting blocks...white women, Latinos, Gen X. It's not MAGA. It's not even Trump.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Longest government shutdown in US history - 35 days (Dec ‘18 - Jan ‘19)
Second longest shutdown - 22 days+ (Oct 1st ‘25 - present day)
Both shutdowns occurred under Trump.
How Americans let this criminal lunatic keep failing upwards will vex historians for generations to come.

"It's completely nuts, but he's completely nuts — and so is Santos, maybe that's the thing that joins them all together... Trump finds a fraudster appealing."

Let's take advice from the guy who was fucking another woman while his wife was pregnant, encouraged us to do bleach enemas during COVID, can't read scientific studies, has never changed a diaper, and whose closest relationship with kids may be pedophilia.
There are just no words at this point.
Trump: "I think it has -- I think it's very bad. They're pumping, it looks like they're pumping into a horse. You have a little child, a little fragile child, and you get a vat of 80 different vaccines, I guess. 80 different blends. And they pump it in. So ideally, a woman won't take Tylenol."

YES YES YES YES ON PROP 50!
Trump and Texas moved first.
Now California must act to counter a corrupt president who's ordering up seats in Congress like he's ordering fast food. Shamefully, his GOP sycophants are delivering.
On Nov 4, voters choose our maps.
Vote Yes on Prop 50 on November 4th.

Once more: the best evidence shows that Tylenol taken during pregnancy is not harmful. **This question is settled.** The benefit of reducing discomfort and fever is extremely important at a time when the fetus is developing.
Pregnant women - Tylenol is safe.

Border Czar Tom Homan was caught by the FBI accepting bribes - on camera - to deliver government contracts in exchange for $50,000 in cash.
Pam Bondi knew.
Kash Patel knew.
Emil Bove knew.
And they made the investigation go away.
A corrupt attempt to conceal brazen graft.
