This is why I stay in this fight. Not the headline. The part where a Trump judge reads Congress’s own math, a sheriff gets told no in writing, and a governor wipes $3,500 off a woman’s kitchen table without making her fill out a form. That’s what winning looks like when nobody’s watching cable.

Round-up is going to kill us all. And our pets. Needs to be boycott on Bayer. They know how dangerous this is

If you finished this and you’re still talking about “both sides on energy,” go back to the Fotouhi line. “Please proceed accordingly.” Three hours. That’s the record.

The California section is the one I’m sending to people who still think “it can’t happen here.” It already did. Six weeks out, it’s a felony. Good.

Bayer got to pick the temperature. Write that on a sticky note and leave it on the fridge. That’s who is writing the rules for the food.

True but let's "kill" the regime back in the midterms. Tell them no!!! Vote blue no matter how much money they spend. Their money does not equal votes or make them right. Let's show our power is stronger!

I know it won’t happen but I want every vote to count which means we need to get rid of the electoral college. 💯

As a poll worker I selfishly want the one protection to be safety of election officials. But I would also want every state to do like Michigan and allow same day voter registration. You should be able to vote without worrying that you missed a deadline a month before.

It seems that the more we read the more illegal methodologies appear. My God, we the people pay individuals to work for us….. not to undermine our lives and or purpose but to build a fair and equitable society. The accountability must be harsh for hurting our planet and our living creatures. Come on America… no pussy footing for these outlaws. Make them pay and make it public and transparent. They OWE us!!!!

It's Taco Tuesday for DonOld! When do you think he'll miss having a gaggle of press and cameras?

That Paramount/Warner deal stinks for the industry, and it will limit choices for quality, informative viewing -- it will be NPR/PBS at this house, movies are already too expensive to go to.

We all need to remember that the pesticides and other shortcut chemical solutions that are banned here are going to South America and other countries, so it's going to be tough to find veggies and fruit that aren't over sprayed.

Keep the momentum going as we get closer to the midterms, let's put more pressure on those Repuglicons!

Always feel better after your posts, Scott!

I live in CA and I'm grateful to Newsom for making it a serious crime to mess with ballots. And though it is illegal already for ICE agents to be present at voting places, how will that be enforced in time to protect all voters? I would like to see Election Safety Officers, non-partisan local government employees trained to de-escalate problems and take whatever steps are necessary to assure the safety of anyone arriving at, waiting to vote, or leaving a voting location. I would also like to see enough voting stations everywhere so that voters do not have to wait in long lines.

Newsom sometimes gets it right.

Whereas the EPA is frequently on the wrong side of keeping us safe.

I choose Gavin Newsome as the best protection.

Jane, I thought so, too, until he was afraid of alienating the Silicon Bros and capitulated with the letting that Paramount Warner merger go through. A disaster!

When I read about California and Bianco, I had to read up a little about him. He is most definitely a hard-right republican. Before seizing those ballot boxes, he had been in quite a bit of trouble and became quite the flip-flopper in the Black Lives Matter movement siding with them and suddenly completely against them. His attempt to seize the ballot boxes simply from the word of a citizens' activist group got him in quite a bit of trouble! I am glad to see that California has addressed this issue with AB282. It has made me wonder, how often does this type of thing go on? Are there more republicans in power that abuse that power the way Bianco had done? Also, I am glad that he did not advance in the primary for Governor. Great read today, Scott! Keep fighting, America! Vote Blue in November! Stay strong and stay safe!

Thank you Scott again this morning for organizing the actions we need to do each day! We can see it’s working & we can get this accomplished if we all vote & stand together against every stunt they dream up trying to keep the pedo president in office. I’ve been smiling & even laughing lately & I’m determined to check my voter’s registration regularly & reregister AGAIN, if necessary! I know we will do this if everyone votes. We cannot let our country be destroyed by these corrupt idiots.
