BREAKING: In a stunning and deeply alarming move, the Postmaster General has announced that the USPS will REFUSE to deliver mail-in ballots for the 2026 midterm elections to any state that does not comply with Donald Trump’s so-called “election integrity” executive order.
Let that sink in.
This is a direct attack on voting rights and a blatant attempt to strong-arm states into submission by threatening Americans’ access to the ballot box.
The Postal Service….an institution meant to serve EVERYONE—is now being weaponized to influence elections.
Democracy is not optional. Voting is not conditional. And no president gets to decide who can and cannot participate in our elections.
This should outrage every American, regardless of party.
BREAKING: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has introduced legislation that would bar Supreme Court justices from accepting lavish gifts from billionaires and other wealthy benefactors.
Four years ago today, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, stripping away a right generations of women relied on.
California refused to go backwards. We enshrined reproductive freedom in our Constitution, expanded access, and protected patients and providers.
In California, your body, your choice remains the law of the land.
Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire.
The typical American household would have to work more than 11 MILLION years to make Elon Musk's level of wealth.
We need a wealth tax.
At 4am, Senate Republicans gave the greenlight for the IRS to drop ALL investigations into Trump and his family.
That means if Trump is evading taxes, we’ll never know.
I have a bill to make this illegal. And I won’t stop fighting to get it done.
🚨BREAKING: The Secretary of Homeland Security just admitted, on camera, that he is going to violate your First Amendment right to free speech.
He said, “I have ZERO tolerance. If you verbally assault our officers… we will find you, we will arrest you.”
Except… that’s not how the First Amendment works.
Unless someone is making a credible threat of violence, speech… even rude, angry, or insulting speech… is still protected.
That’s the whole point of a free speech clause… to protect the people from situations where those in power don’t like what’s being said.
So, when a top federal official starts framing “verbal assault” as something you can be arrested for, without clearly defining it as an actual threat…
It stops sounding like protecting officers, and starts sounding like a government trying to silence people who speak out against it.
The Trump administration announced it will pay nearly $1 billion to French energy giant TotalEnergies in exchange for the company abandoning plans to build offshore wind farms in the Atlantic Ocean and instead pursue fossil fuel projects in the US. https://t.co/smPL5fHfs4

BREAKING: The Senate just passed SB 5855, @SenValdez46th's bill to bar law enforcement from wearing face coverings.

Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city, obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”
🚨 BREAKING: The Supreme Court has temporarily suspended full SNAP food benefit payments for November at the Trump administration’s request.
This means millions of low-income Americans, including children, seniors, and veterans, could lose access to food assistance in the middle of a government shutdown.
The administration argued it has the right to pause payments even though Congress already approved the funds.
BREAKING: The Senate just voted 50-46 to strip Donald Trump of his power to impose tariffs.
Multiple Republicans joined Democrats to shut him down, second night in a row the GOP has turned on him.
