Here we go again – MAGA Republicans are trying to recall Democratic leaders here in California. Homelessness is DOWN. Homicides are DOWN. Shootings are DOWN. That’s all because of Mayor Bass. We need to shut this #MAGARecall DOWN. www.latimes.com/california/s...
Foes of Mayor Karen Bass form committee to raise money for recall bid
Any recall effort would need to gather valid signatures from 15% of registered voters, or about 330,000 overall.

Good news for Derek Tran, the Democrat in #CA45: Today's update in Orange County netted him 207 votes.
His lead district-wide over GOP Rep. Steel is now 314 votes.
Still roughly 7K ballots left in OC (plus a sprinkling in LA).

The Arizona GOP has been chipping away at direct democracy after progressives used ballot measures to raise the minimum wage, legalize marijuana, and more. But their two latest proposals, Prop 134 and 136, were defeated last Tuesday. boltsmag.org/arizona...
Arizonans Defeat Three GOP Measures That Would Have Restricted Their Voting Power
The measures would have largely ended judicial elections and squashed future citizen-led initiatives, which progressives have used to pursue priorities like abortion access.

"If this bill passes with bipartisan support, there’s a real risk it gets folded into the annual Defense bill, which would put it on a glide path through the Senate" - pay attention, just because it needs Senate approval doesn't mean we're safe
🚨 Republicans are scheduling another vote on H.R. 9495, the bill that would give Trump new powers to unilaterally go after his political opponents. We need everyone reading this to contact their representatives and tell them to vote no on H.R. 9495: indivisible.org/resource/tel...
House GOP Moves to Ram Through Bill That Gives Trump Unilateral Power to Kill Nonprofits
A bill to give Donald Trump power to kill nonprofits is still supported by dozens of Democrats — giving the GOP plenty of breathing room.

If we're not thinking about how nonprofits are going to be shut down, assets frozen in conservative states and/or by the federal government, we're going to fail. We need innovative business models in the progressive field now, not tomorrow.
⚡️ UPDATE: HR 9495, that would give Trump the power to attack nonprofits and silence them as “terrorist-supporting” (without evidence) mainly with pro-Palestine groups in mind, could still see a vote next week. theintercept.com/2024/11/15/n...
