The midterms are being flooded with dark money & Trump is doing everything he can to suppress the vote. But remember — WE THE PEOPLE outnumber Trump and his billionaire backers. Keep phoning. Keep canvassing. Keep getting out the vote for candidates on the side of working people. It is essential.

WARNING: The Ellison family is about to own CBS News AND CNN. A judge just cleared the deal. Closing: days away. When one family controls what tens of millions watch, democracy loses a watchdog. Independent media isn't a luxury. It's your last line of defense.

There are Dems I intend to vote for. But I'm counting on Oregon process working. I'm counting on ballots reaching my mailbox. I'll mark my ballots. I'll drive about 2 miles to the Drop Box. And drop them in. And shortly, my votes will be counted. TaDa!

Something is deeply wrong when Trump’s net worth is skyrocketing but families across the country can’t afford gas, groceries, and health care. Donald Trump’s culture of open corruption is leaving Americans out to dry while he and his friends get rich.

I believe that grid energy should be planned for health and affordability. And as much as possible it should come from Enhanced Geothermal Systems to minimize emissions.

The American people are very smart. They know that their lives have only gotten worse under this Administration. And they know this will just be another one of Trump's many broken promises to the American people. So let's call a thing pathetic, illegal, and corrupt attempt to try to win

A single-payer universal healthcare system could cover every American, save more than 100,000 lives a year, and still cost $1 trillion less than the system it would replace… even after accounting for the additional care that uninsured and underinsured people would receive.
