If nothing else, the last nine months should have made it clear that elections matter. But what’s remarkable about America is that we have the power, as citizens, to change this country by voting. Go to IWillVote.com.

There's money for a ballroom/bunker. There's money to fire live ammunition over I-5. There's money to send the National Guard to take over peaceful cities.

But there's no money to feed Americans who need help to provide nutritious meals to their families.

VOTE TODAY TO SAY NO TO REPUBLICAN CRUELTY
🚨🚨🚨

Trump defies court order and will not fund SNAP whatsoever! 👇🏽

If there’s an election or proposition in your area TODAY that will help elect Democrats, and simultaneously weaken Trump’s control, PLEASE TAKE TIME TO VOTE.

We are the resistance.
Let’s take back our country. ✊🏽
🚨🚨BREAKING🚨🚨

TRUMP ON TRUTH SOCIAL
WILL NOW DEFY COURT ORDER
WILL NOT PAY SNAP BENEFITS UNTIL THE GOVERNMENT REOPENS

California, your ballot is your weapon. Trump’s rigging maps, attacking free speech, and hiking healthcare 75% — but you can stop him.

TURN IN YOUR BALLOT NOW.

And USDA is blaming undocumented immigrants, trans people, and Democrats when it is all on Trump.

Trump has an authorized $5B SNAP contingency fund he won't use because he wants to make people suffer to force Democrats to accept his terms.

That includes children, veterans, active duty troops.

The rise in costs you’re feeling, it’s by design. Skyrocketing prices, government shutdowns, and fear mongering aren’t accidents, they’re part of a deliberate strategy to break our trust in government and keep power concentrated in the hands of a few.

First it was the Rose Garden and now it’s the East Wing. During the four years I worked at the WH it was a thrill and an honor to take my family and friends on private tours of the “People’s House .” This is just heartbreaking.

From a friend who was driving north on I-5 this am:

“The five freeway will be closed today from noon until 3 PM to accommodate the live ammo demonstration from Camp Pendleton.”

This is going to create a huge traffic jam since there is no detour around it. Why the f**k are they using live ammo?

Imagine if your child went to a concert & was taken hostage by terrorists after 400 of their fellow concert-goers were massacred & the world ignored your kid or celebrated his plight.

There's so much bias against Jewish people & it's heartbreaking!

On this two year anniversary of the brutal October attack on Israel, let's see the last 732 days have taken us all.
As a Jew... Remembering October 7, 2023
Two years ago, on October 7, 2023, an attack began when over 4,000 rockets were fired at Israel. Reflections on the past 732 days.

Trump & Texas GOP moved first. Their politicians are rigging their maps to cheat, ignore voters & keep things in their favor.

Now California must act.

By Nov 4, voters choose our maps.
(Ballots begin arriving October 6; vote YES on Prop 50 & return your ballot ASAP, no stamp needed)

It’s far from certain that James Comey will be indicted

After all, Jeanine Pirro struggled getting indictments in DC

But even if charges are brought, given Trump’s tampering, a judge could still dismiss the case

Because in America, we don’t decide guilt before determining if there’s even a crime
