Once again. Just like the Paramount Merger Gavin Newsom does what he always does. Sells out the working class people for the billionaires again and again. Not only that but endorses a bill that will make it impossible to tax the wealthy at all. www.commondreams.org/news/newsom-...

Newsom Endorses Ballot Measure That Would Cancel Out Billionaire Tax—and Ban Future Wealth Taxes | Common Dreams
"He’d rather millions of children and families lose their healthcare than ask a couple hundred billionaires to finally pay their fair share."

When one man, Elon Musk, can pour a QUARTER OF A BILLION DOLLARS into buying elections, we have to ask ourselves: 👇 Are we still a democracy, or have we become an oligarchy where the wealthiest buy the power and the rest of us pay the price?! VOTE to save democracy! 😎🇺🇸✨

So now Kevin Hassett will go on TV again and smile while telling us how the terrible inflation numbers are actually great news for everyone and how we are really winning even though we keep having to pay more for everything because of stupid tariffs and an even dumber war.

New in PN: Republicans learn to love DOJ weaponization "With early voting underway, Omar got agents at her door at 6am, when her 14-year-old was inside, over a theory cooked up on an anonymous message board. Republicans never objected to weaponizing the DOJ. They just wanted custody of the weapon."

Republicans learn to love DOJ weaponization
Just kidding, they always love it when they’re holding the weapon.

Average hourly earnings, adjusted for inflation, fell 0.5 percent in September and are now back to where they were in January, 2025. That means that Americans, on average, have experienced zero real wage growth since Trump returned to office.

REMINDER: When Biden left office inflation was 2.9%. Now it's 3.7%. When Biden left office gas was $3.10 per gallon --now it's $4.33. When Biden left office Diesel was $3.63-- now it's $6.29. This is 100% TRUMPFLATION. Only people doing well now are Trump, his corrupt family and his oligarchs!

Inflation is up again. Not because of a pandemic. Not because of a natural disaster. Because of Trump’s war, tariffs, and corporate tax breaks. It really is this simple: Republicans took over, and then drove up the cost of living in America.

This can’t be true because Trump and the Republicans running for office have been telling me that prices have been coming down thanks to the leadership and brilliance of Trump, Bessent and Lutnick.

My name is not the reason we're paying $5/gallon for gas. My name is not the reason you can't afford your groceries. My name is not the reason you can't afford your mortgage or rent. My name is not the reason you can't see a doctor. Their policies are the reason.

Trump and Musk are doing everything they can to try and force Ukraine to surrender to Putin while Musk spends over $300 million to try and buy the midterm elections to maintain total power. The American government under Republicans are on the side of evil. Vote them out.

Pretty clear that Trump/Hegseth are doing everything they can to force Ukraine to surrender to Putin by withholding all US assistance while actively helping fund the Russian war machine to kill as many civilians as possible including kids. What a dark, evil chapter in US history.

This is disgusting, but not unexpected. The Trump administration is putting their thumb on the scales for Putin, despite the fact that it’s Russia violating the energy ceasefire.

I'm sorry but the key priority for the next US SecDef has to be extracting Elon Musk from every single thing related to US military contracting. No Musk company should receive any government contract of any kind from any Dem executive.

Donald Trump and the Republican-controlled Congress are accountable 10% of America’s $40 TRILLION DEBT since gaining power in January 2025. Republicans don’t care about the national debt as long it benefits CEOs and billionaires.

Basically the Republican campaign strategy for the midterms across the country appears to be to just say “transgender” as often as possible and hope voters hate enough to forget how much things cost and how corrupt they are.

Trump was asked what state his new White House press secretary, Katie Zacharia, passed the bar in. Her answer: CHINA. Does she speak Chinese? The bar exam is in Chinese, not English. Is she a Chinese citizen, as required? Homegirl wasn’t hired. She was CAST.
