BREAKING: DOJ has failed to indict Letitia James for a THIRD time! It's like Christmas around here!

Love this place!

Why is the media not covering this. On a loop.

Eight months ago vs today. 🤡 @atrupar.com @cnbc.com @cbsnews.com

Last week's false earthquake warning in Northern California hammers home the real-life impacts of the Trump Administration's incompetence and neglect. Their disaster strategy endangers Californians and our response to future earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis, and floods.

#This! It boils the blood to drive down highway 5 and see the #WelfareCowboyFarmers' signs decrying California when the middlemen food distributors are the real problem. CA should go after them for gouging the farmers and the consumers. Also, anyone know how much of CA grown crops are exported?

Also, anyone else think that the "gig economy" is really a Trojan horse for Activist Investors (Private Equity and Hedgefund)? They don't make anything. They merely take an existing service and use the convenience of technology and profit-loss pricing to worm their way in and capture a marketplace.

And I t’s not just Instacart. Our personal data is being used to drive corporate profit in all sorts of ways. We need laws put in place to protect consumers. I just watched this video this morning. youtu.be/osxr7xSxsGo?...

PLEASE DO NOT SHOP INSTACART! THEY ARE CHEATING YOU!!!!

#This is why Trump's One Rulebook, HIS rulebook, is a bad idea. Take away their power to do this? Shop in-store and force them to hire people at a living minimum wage to check you out. Mitigates price discrimination practices, cuts down homeless population & puts $$ in community coffers.

The US has attempted to reach a secret deal with the EU and showed its secret plan to betray Ukraine. Europe rejecting this plan, combined with the fine to Musk’s X, triggered the recent coordinated influence campaign launched by the US, Israel, and Russia.

#This! A billion times THIS!! A minority amongst us has so much money that they managed to buy the Whitehouse, SCOTUS, and now ot seems that they have our military. Meanwhile, we have an exploding homeless population. 🤢🤮

Democracy Docket is closing out the year with a special members-only live event, I will reflects on the biggest legal battles and democratic inflection points of the year and breaks down cases and political dynamics shaping the road ahead. Most importantly, I will answer your questions!

Gallego: "This administration, since they started striking these boats illegally, has been very happy to show their snuff films . Now suddenly they're willing to show the first hit but not the second. Why? ... they're afraid the public is going to see the military killed 2 men that had surrendered."

At @inthesetimes.com, we've been following how tenant unions are adapting strategies from organized labor. Here's a fascinating story about the flipside: a corporate landlord taking a page from anti-union employers, even hiring a "union avoidance" firm. (1/8) inthesetimes.com/article/tena...

Ossoff: "She got her new insurance quote & it's $700 more per month than what she's paying now. She's diabetic. She had surgery a few months ago for something else. She told me she cried again bc she realized she's gonna have to cancel her insurance. She believes she might die bc of a policy choice"

We have entered banana republic zone.

Oh, someone had a nice Paris dinner! Someone went to the tennis! Someone kept the airline slippers! Shock! Horror! No, Australian media. This is what actual corruption looks like. Take a good look.

Yesterday I argued in the Supreme Court to defend a 50 year old law that prevent corruption in our campaign finance system. Meanwhile, Republicans are attacking the 60 year old Voting Rights Act in SCOTUS as well. We won't let them gut democracy without a fight.

Happy Holidays, California! 🎄 Big thank you to Rebecca and Jude for lighting up the State Capitol on our 94th Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony. Wishing all Californians a bright and cheerful holiday season.

Yep. And in an opinion on another case, Judge Breyer writes ⬇️ bsky.app/profile/joyc...

They want to force Boasberg into trial because he’d have to appoint a prosecutor and SCOTUS will probably take the power to appoint a judicial prosecutor away.

I think it is time to watch "1984" again...

Maybe Forbes should do a piece on why companies have open jobs they refuse to fill. Could it be because it looks good to shareholders to seem like they are growing, even if they don’t intend to hire? The number of layers of lies this economy is built on at this point is absolutely astonishing.

California Derangement Syndrome has blinded people’s ability to see that California is a donor state — giving more money to the federal government than it receives.

Requiring foreign visitors to hand over 5 years of social media isn’t “security,” it’s unchecked government control. All-seeing surveillance systems don’t make us safer. They are in direct opposition to our civil liberties. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Powell: "Inflation for goods has picked up, reflecting the effects of tariffs."

Anybody know what kind of animal this belongs to? A friend sent it to me.

This is a time in our nation's history that will be remembered for all the broken fools who needed so much attention.

Emblematic of what is required of applicants when apply for a position in the current administration-->conspiracist mindset. Qualifications seem to be irrelevant in this administration.

ILLINOIS: “residents can sue federal immigration agents if they believe their civil rights were violated after @GovPritzker enacted a new law… restricts immigration enforcement efforts outside of state courthouses and lets plaintiffs sue for damages.” www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

New study estimates that German households who remain on natural gas in 2045 could be stuck paying 10x what they pay today for gas pipeline maintenance. As other households electrify, gas utilities will spread the same maintenance costs over fewer remaining customers, raising prices dramatically.

I miss the 80s. Bruce Willis gets off the plane in Die Hard and goes directly to baggage claim, where he lights up a cigarette in the first 2 minutes of the movie.

#SCOTUS, corrupted SCOTUS #This is why I want to know who is in the #Epstein files and what they did, because someone is pulling strings and possibly paying off our sitting justices. We know that Thomas and Alito have accepted free trips & "loans" ( a/k/a bribes). Uredacted FBI investigation files

Californians deserve unwavering support to recover and rebuild from devastating wildfires. I'm issuing a State of Emergency proclamation to help Mono County families and businesses get back on their feet after the #PackFire. California will stand with you every step of the way.

It's been almost three weeks now and they still haven't released the Epstein files because withholding exculpatory evidence is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."

#This!

Pretty much.

In Germany the only source of electricity that keeps growing and growing: renewable energy. Solar and wind keep expanding and even though nuclear is no more coal generation has already shrunk significantly and keeps falling.

www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol... Federal judge in New York on Tuesday granted a Justice Department request to release grand jury material related to Ghislaine Maxwell's case. Judge to put in place a mechanism to protect victims.

Judge Paul A. Engelmayer agreed to the government’s request to make public a large set of records from the Maxwell case – a cache of transcripts, exhibits, and related materials that could run into the hundreds of thousands of pages and has never been released before.

Sometimes the common good and decency prevail. Sometimes. #Missouri
