I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Here's the video of the forcible removal of Senator Alex Padilla for daring to try to ask DHS a question. If you are unfortunate enough to have MAGA-loving Republicans in your life, make sure they see it. The trump lovers are wetting themselves in their excitement to deny what really happened.

Corporate criminals shouldn’t be let anywhere near the levers of power in our government. I'm proud to stand with fellow reformers to battle corruption, with bills like my "No Corporate Crooks Act" to #EndCorruptionNow.

How the Social Security Administration and DOGE are gaslighting Americans
The Social Security Administration (SSA) sent an email on March 27 to beneficiaries saying that reports that field offices were closing was an invention of fake news media.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.
You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?
Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.
You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

It feels like we are living in a parallel universe since 2017. Everything that has happened belongs to a Mandela effect. I wouldn't have imagined things could be done in the USA that run afoul to the laws.
