California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you. Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide. So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

At it's peak yesterday, wind and solar provided 135% of California's power needs. Yes, you read that right, it had enough to export it's energy to surrounding states. But when big oil and gas donate hundreds of millions to Republican political campaigns, that doesn't matter, only the grift does.

The whole linear progress of time thing remains a challenge for MAGA.
A tweet by WeThePeople reads, “Jack Smith was hired months after the raid.” The post quotes a tweet by Aaron Rupar showing Eric Trump in a TV interview, saying, “Sure enough, we find out that Jack Smith is planting manilla folders on the office of my father...” The screenshot shows Eric Trump speaking on a Fox News-style broadcast with a city skyline backdrop.

An August 2025 analysis found that 65% of people taken into ICE detention in fiscal year 2025 had no criminal convictions. The same analysis indicated that over 93% of those booked into detention had NO conviction for a violent offense. The criminal is HIM.

In case you got lost in the steaming pile of bullshit Speaker Johnson’s been shoveling, the shutdown fight Democrats are holding the line on is about healthcare for hard-working Americans. Leader Jeffries isn’t flinching, isn’t wobbling; he’s been consistent and hasn’t wavered on this issue.

NEW: A federal appeals court tossed out a redistricting lawsuit filed by tribes in ND, saying they weren't allowed to bring a suit under the VRA — only the DOJ can. That's just the tip of the iceberg of really escalating threats against Native voters. Must-read, quite distressing reporting:

“A Law Without a Way to Enforce It” - Bolts
In North Dakota as elsewhere, Native voters face a triple threat: judges targeting the VRA, Trump officials hostile to discrimination laws, and a funding crunch depleting their work.
