It was 94° at 10am in Bakersfield CA as workers cut and packed Asian vegetables into produce boxes. This fast paced work in an open field is grueling as it means a lot of bending and by the end of the day workers tell us their back aches. #WeFeedYou

Billionaire families have spent $1.7 BILLION on the 2026 midterms so far — a 5,200% increase since the 2010 midterms. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day. Big Money is the root of our dysfunction.

"Jose" starts his day picking strawberries at an organic farm. After picking he goes back to crush the strawberries that have fallen to the ground that are no longer usable. This prevents pest infestations and stops fungal diseases from spreading to the rest of the crop. #WeFeedYou

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.

22 California billionaires have spent a combined $150 million so far to defeat Prop 40. By spending their fortunes trying to stop California from taxing billionaires, they're making the argument for a billionaire wealth tax more clearly and articulately than anyone else possibly could.
