"If enacted, this measure places the following question on November 2028 ballot: 'Should California leave the United States and become a free and independent country?'"

Coeur d'Alene has the highest concentration of right-wing white nationalists of any area in the country. Here is why today's terrorist attack on firefighters was probably carried out by liberal Democrats.

My hot take on Jeff Bezos' wedding: That $50 million price tag is double what the US government was spending annually on food and medicine for 5 million AIDS orphans before the Trump administration canceled it. We are literally letting orphans die rather than make this guy pay taxes.

Chris Murphy: "By taking away the power of courts to restrain the president when he is clearly acting in an unlawful manner, as he is when he says children born in the US are no longer citizens, you are assisting him in trying to undermine the rule of law and undermine our democracy."

Again, I know nothing matters & no one seems to care, either in the media or our politics, but threatening the territorial sovereignty of our NATO allies is a direct violation of our treaty obligations (& therefore also US law) & should have immediately ended his presidency in January.

Cutting Medicaid means costs are shifted to providers. When patients lose coverage, they turn to ERs for care they can’t afford. Hospitals eat the cost, pass it on to insurers, and your premiums go up. Medicaid cuts mean a worse health care system for EVERYONE.

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Senate Democrats have forced EVERY WORD in Trump's 900 page Big Beautiful Bill to be read on the floor before the vote. The move will delay the vote to cut Medicaid and SNAP, raise energy costs, and give tax breaks to the ultra-rich. This is historic.

1/ If Justice Barrett thinks we need to go back to what the Founding Fathers intended, I’ve got news for her. Their biggest concern was avoiding tyranny. So they created 3 branches of gov’t & divvied up the power the people (that’s us) were allowing the gov’t to use to create order for all of us.

Robert Malone said, “250 deaths, let’s acknowledge, is a relatively modest number” Kids don’t usually die. Last year was the highest number of pediatric flu deaths since 2009. It was also the lowest pediatric flu vaccine uptake since 2009. Coincidence? No amount of preventable death is acceptable.
