Donald Trump as President has taken corruption to depths never seen before in America. The voters smacked him for it in the midterms. His response: send VP Vance to chase corruption in all the states he lost big. All so he can distract the American people from his wildly illegal war of choice in Iran.  In California, we’ll keep doing our job. Trump should try doing his.

If Fox News can still scare you with a migrant caravan every time MAGA Republicans run out of material, you’re a fucking idiot.

The U.S. Navy quietly relieved Commander Caitlin Cunningham, commanding officer of the Arleigh Burke class destroyer USS Michael Murphy (DDG-112), on September 27th due to a “loss of confidence,” according to USNI News. She had been in command since October 24, 2025, just under a year. The Michael Murphy deployed December 1st, 2025 with the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) carrier strike group, then stayed in the Middle East to support the blockade of Iran after Operation Epic Fury. The ship returned to Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam today, a little less than three weeks short of a full year deployed. The Navy says the crew completed 12 contested transits of the Strait of Hormuz and was awarded the Presidential Unit Citation.

Poison. Pure poison. And too many Americans produce and consume it each and every day.
Please watch this, even though it is deeply dishonest, extremely bigoted, and just plain dumb. You're getting a window into Trump-era evangelical politics. Millions of evangelicals are fed messages like this, constantly and relentlessly. It's damaging to hearts, minds, and souls.

The work has only just begun. Winning an election is just the first step. Now we need to drive transformational legislation, with leaders that are ready to do that work, and build a party that actually achieves the things we set out to do. michiganchronicle.com/el-say…

The KKK is firmly embedded in MAGA and the modern Republican Party. They were DemoKKKrats for their first 100 years, but when the modern Democrats took up the mantle for civil and human rights, the KKK fled into the arms of the RepubliKKKan Party. Facts.

BREAKING: HELL YES! Nevada Governor-elect Aaron Ford throws his full support behind abolishing the Electoral College with the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. The blue tsunami could end MAGA forever... “I didn’t initially support it frankly because I hadn’t done enough research on it, but I have researched it and looking at the electoral college, understanding the, frankly, racist underpinnings of it in the first place leads me to believe that we need to get rid of it,” said Ford. “Not only for that reason but because we’ve seen several times now the person who wins the popular vote not win because of the electoral college." The Constitution gives states the power to control their electoral votes and how they're allocated during presidential elections. Currently, almost every state gives its votes to whoever wins the state. In practice, that means that a candidate can win the national popular vote but lose the election because smaller states exert an imbalanced influence on the outcome. For example, Wyoming has a population of 577,000 people and 3 electoral votes. California, which 39.5 million people call home, gets 54 electoral votes. Essentially, that means a vote in Wyoming is 3.8 times as valuable as one in California. States that join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact agree to give their electoral votes to whoever wins the national popular vote, not just their own state. Under this proposed system, a state could go red on the map, but if the Democrat wins the national vote, they'd still get that state's votes. 18 states plus D.C. have already joined the NPVIC, but it doesn't trigger until the member states have a combined 270 electoral votes, the number needed to win the White House. Thanks to our party's overwhelming success in the midterm elections, Democrats have seized control of the state legislatures and governor's mansions in Arizona, Nevada, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. If all five join, it would push the compact over the 270 threshold. This would transform the American political landscape and make it much harder for the Republican Party — which is an increasingly unpopular organization — to ever win again. It would incentivize presidential candidates to campaign in every state rather than devoting all of their attention to a handful of swing states. The Electoral College is fundamentally undemocratic. It's time to hurl it into the trash for good! Please ❤️ and share if you support abolishing the Electoral College!

🚨 Rep. Stansbury doesn’t mince words: “The United States government is engaged in an active cover-up of the largest sex-trafficking and influence-peddling scandal in our history — and Donald Trump is right at the center of it.” That’s a sitting member of Congress saying it out loud.

The 2026 Midterms were a LANDSLIDE. Biggest in 52 years. Historically HUGE. Way bigger than any recent midterm election results. That means Democrats have a MANDATE. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

I’m actually referring to your 30,000 stock trades (more than all Members of Congress combined), your Qatari-gifted luxury jet, your crypto scams, your Truth Social pay to play scheme, your billionaire-funded ballroom, your insurrectionist slush fund, and your pardons for big donors—just to name a few.    Senate Democrats will ban stock trading for all Members of Congress and White House officials, and hold you and your administration accountable for all the ways your rampant corruption has made life more expensive for families.

The landlord who owns the building that collapsed in Flatbush is a notorious slumlord. He went to jail in 2006 for failure to correct 1,800 violations in 12 buildings he owned. He has multiple DOB violations on this building, amounting to 1000s of dollars.

She gave her valedictorian speech, then ICE detained her.
Maria Flores Garcia, a 19-year-old student at the University of Maryland, was detained with her mother by ICE officers during a routine immigration check-in. Her loved ones fear she and her mother will be deported to a country where they know no one. wapo.st/48djWYU

🚨 A MASSIVE wave of internet outages is hitting some of the world's biggest tech platforms. And it goes WAY beyond Microsoft. Downdetector is showing spikes in problem reports across Outlook, Microsoft 365, Teams, Azure, Gmail, AWS, Cloudflare, Zoom, Steam, X, Facebook and dozens of other services. Nearly 130,000 reports for Outlook alone at one point. Microsoft has confirmed widespread problems and says it's restarting affected servers and redirecting traffic to restore services. But reports are also appearing across platforms operated by Google, Amazon and other major providers. It's not yet clear whether these disruptions share a common cause or whether some are unrelated. For millions of users, a surprisingly large chunk of the internet has suddenly become unreliable. Writer: Oliver
