iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

For those of you who know me, you know I don’t back down from a fight. My job should confirm that if nothing else.

Let me expand. I’m not afraid of the fight. I’m sick of the ads, the bribes, the bullshit, the mail. Post election, there will be a fight but damn, at least there won’t be 10 ballot initiatives they’re lying about.

Senate Judiciary Democrats are asking Chair Chuck Grassley to apologize to Jack Smith on the behalf of his GOP committee members — especially for Republican Eric Schmitt. The letter also demands Grassley turn over the underlying records Schmitt used during the hearing.

The Republicans are just a few days away from reviving the "F" word and the "N" word for public consumption. After all, the "P" word is back as is the "R" word. And now the "T" word. They're systematically degrading our culture one epithet at a time.

👀 Love to see this: "Corruption isn’t just an abstract political issue for Americans, it’s a pocketbook one. Huge majorities across party lines say corruption in government is raising their costs personally (81%), with nearly half feeling this way strongly (48%)." @navigatorsurvey.bsky.social

"5) Americans are Connecting Government Corruption to Personal Costs

Corruption isn’t just an abstract political issue for Americans, it’s a pocketbook one. Huge majorities across party lines say corruption in government is raising their costs personally (81%), with nearly half feeling this way strongly (48%). They’re blaming elected officials who allow waste, fraud, and abuse of taxpayer dollars (82% raises costs), the protecting of monopolies and large corporations that price gouge consumers (82% raises cost), and allowing lobbyists and special interests to have more influence than ordinary people (77%).

Americans are also opposed to and resentful of Trump’s expensive White House renovations, reflecting pool makeover, and self-aggrandizing projects.

Two-in-three (66%) oppose Trump tearing down the East Wing of the White House and requesting $1 billion in taxpayer dollars for a new White House ballroom.

Even among Republicans, the ballroom is divisive, with 42% supportive of Trump’s actions and 42% opposed – though non-MAGA Republicans oppose it by 29 points (28% support – 57% oppose).

Nearly six-in-ten (58%) report concerns awarding a no-competition contract to a favored company to repaint the Reflecting Pool in Washington.

Seven-in-10 say Trump’s face being included on special edition passports and the new $250 bill shows he’s focused on the wrong things."

Forget about whether Mike Johnson would certify the new Congress. It's not his job. All these hare-brained schemes (Like Cleta Mitchell and her pal Tina Peters) for Howard Lutnick to seize voting machines, etc are just ways to subvert the validity of the election when they lose.

Susan Collins is responsible for her fellow Republicans in judicial robes on Roberts #SCOTUS for gutting Roe. Her vote gutted abortion rights for Mainers and she won't take responsibility bc she is a standard Republican coward.

"Like a rotten fish, the flight of California’s elected Democrats from Prop 40 (tax on billionaires) stinks from the head: in this case, Gov. Gavin Newsom, whose political career has long been boosted by Silicon Valley fortunes." prospect.org/2026/10/06/c...

"Like a rotten fish, the flight of California’s elected Democrats from Prop 40 stinks from the head: in this case, Gov. Gavin Newsom, whose political career has long been boosted by Silicon Valley fortunes. Newsom’s reluctance to rile his past, present, and (he hopes) future funders seems to have trickled down to the ranks of the elected. His certain successor as governor, Xavier Becerra, has joined Newsom in opposition, as has Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass. The mayor’s challenger in the upcoming midterm election, L.A. city council member Nithya Raman—an ostensible socialist who is a member of DSA, which has backed her candidacy—has taken no position on the measure. This puts her to the right of actual capitalist Tom Steyer, the billionaire progressive who sought the governorship in the state’s June primary.

Despite the measure’s heavy support from rank-and-file Democrats, the only other elected Democrat of note to back Prop 40 is Rep. Judy Chu, who represents L.A.’s San Gabriel Valley in Congress. Subtracting Chu and Khanna from the quavering pack, that leaves 41 California Democratic members of Congress who’ve either opposed the measure or have remained mum on the subject. (Well, I suppose, 40—the redoubtable Maxine Waters has made pro-40 comments, but has not issued an endorsement per se.)"
