Notice how fast the billionaire stepped up to fund the military, but no one is stepping up to fund SNAP?
No one will step up to fight for a living wage, healthcare, disability supports or education.
They want to keep us down because it benefits them.
The billionaires will always stick together.

Republicans bowed to pressure from Donald Trump to midcycle gerrymander at the expense of minority voters — only to be sued by my law firm within hours or days.
If they expect us to eventually give up and back down, they are sorely mistaken. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/repu...

Qatari officials believe Trump's backing of the blockade on Qatar was a retaliation by Jared Kushner, after negotiations with Qatari investors fell apart & they refused to give Kushner a $1.1 BILLION loan, to bail out his troubled 666 Fifth Av property.

Rule of Law Alert: Trump’s authority for country-specific tariffs comes from the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which doesn’t mention tariffs—but does require a national emergency.
An ad showing that Reagan opposed tariffs surely is not a national emergency. (It may be a personal one)

According to a letter from Todd Blanche to Newsom published a day or so ago, it is illegal to enforce the law against federal officers. That’s a generous paraphrase and ppl should read it themselves. It’s 1.5 pages. Scary.

Daily reminder - Breathing tear gas can cause lung damage, especially in heavy amounts like this. To individuals (including children) with respiratory or heart issues, it can be deadly.
This needs to stop NOW. This is a serious health risk.

This is a profoundly absurd show of force that could put Californians directly in harm's way.
Flying live rounds over a busy highway without coordination between state, federal, and local partners isn't just wrong — it's dangerous.

When Navalny announced his presidential bid in 2017, the Kremlin activated a specialized assassination squad. Legal harassment wasn't enough anymore.

China isn’t the reason to build solar—it’s the reason we can’t afford to wait. While US nuclear flatlines, China’s solar has already rocketed past it. The lesson isn’t to copy them—it’s that the transition is happening at breakneck speed. Delay now means falling behind forever. ⚡☀️ #EnergyTransition
