You're Goddamn right we do, @governor.ca.gov. Thank you for saying it. This f*cking l*mp d*ck "fight" for democracy we've been seeing out of these folks is the pinnacle of utter incompetence and lack of will to win.
Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.

Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.

The American people need more from their leaders.

“Flood survivors…described losing children, going days without contact from emergency management and discovering human remains still scattered in waterways even after victims…were officially marked as found.”

And the TX GOP is focused on gerrymandering.

A very disturbing who's who of U. S. companies profiting from the ongoing Israeli occupation. Ford Motor Company, General Motors Company, and Microsoft are just a few.

I'm watching a video with Naomi Klein and UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese. It touches on companies profiting from the ground invasion of Gaza. One of the companies is the U. S. company Caterpillar. Sad... :-(

Federal law enforcement is being used to literally hunt down Texas Democrats in Illinois so Republicans can draw new electoral maps and disenfranchise millions of people.

An extremely scary precedent is being set right now and Illinois is the first proving ground: www.axios.com/2025/08/07/f...

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
