It’s bad enough that Gavin Newsom opposes California’s Prop 40. But he also supports Prop 42, a billionaire-backed poison pill that would cancel out Prop 40 entirely and make it impossible to enact future wealth taxes. It’s clear whose side he’s on. Remember this in 2028.

🚨BREAKING: Voting rights groups are citing recent ICE activity near voting sites and new evidence of intimidation as they expand a lawsuit seeking to keep armed federal agents away from polling places during the midterm elections. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

ICE is already showing up near voting sites, bolstering lawsuit against armed agents at polls
Among the newest examples is an ICE detention that took place in the same area California voters had to pass through to reach a ballot drop box.

No parent should have to wonder how they’re going to feed their kids. Families are already stretched thin by rising gas, rent, & food costs. Now, cuts to SNAP are leaving more kids hungry & more parents struggling to put meals on the table. In the richest country on Earth, every kid should be fed!

SNAP's funding model is starting to change. Here's what that means for the program
States will start to pay a larger share of the bill to run the food assistance program, as federal funding for operational costs shrinks.

A few hundred noncitizen votes are a national scandal. But when states reject hundreds of thousands of ballots from eligible voters, it’s business as usual
One state rejected ballots because some voters failed to include their mother’s maiden name on the back of the return envelope.
