California’s billionaires have a combined net worth of $2.4 trillion. Under Prop 40, their net worth would fall to…just under $2.3 trillion. What amounts to a rounding error for them would allow millions of their fellow Californians to afford healthcare. Vote yes on Prop 40.

A federal court just told Trump he cannot force NYC to cooperate with federal immigration authorities. Sanctuary cities like New York can refuse to use their own resources to enforce immigration laws. Why this order is a huge rebuke against the lawlessness of this Regime: youtu.be/-F6cfX6OaOE?...

“I don't want to be a conspiracy theorist, Katie, but here's the thing. Mr. Musk has done this before.” Retired Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling tells Katie Phang that Musk previously shut down Starshield because he disagreed with Zelenskyy, then connects that allegation to Trump's latest ceasefire demands.

This is pathetic. Ukraine tested Starlink speed restrictions in Europe and had no issues - the restrictions only exist in Ukraine. The Trump administration is actively helping Russia kill Ukrainians - and risking the lives of US and NATO advisors in Ukraine.
