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.

Zelenskyy might be saving our democracy. The mad genius is bombing Russian data centers linked to FAKE NEWS bot farms. Without them, Putin’s midterm influence will accidentally fall from a 30th floor window. I 💙 Ukraine 🇺🇦

I hate it when US officials refer to warfare, includng the deaths of thousands of noncombatants, as "kinetic engagement." Euphemism is the weapon of charlatans.

Trump has denied disaster relief for Illinois following severe storms in August. Trump approved a request from Indiana for damage resulting from the same storms. One is a "blue state." The other is a "red state." No other president has politicized natural disasters the way that Trump has.

Here‘s your reminder that Speaker Mike Johnson sent the House home early so they wouldn’t have to vote on Pete Hegseth’s impeachment before the midterms. Republicans were terrified that they’d have to face voters and explain why they were covering for a racist, sexist, war-losing piece of crap.
