Tri-Valley has two peaceful #NoKings events in Livermore at 11am and Pleasanton at 1:30pm. Join us.

Mike Johnson is running out of excuses for keeping the government shut down. Instead of doing his job, preserving affordable healthcare, or lowering costs for working families, he’s attacking millions of Americans who will peacefully protest to say that our country belongs to its people — not kings.

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

Democrats are here in the Capitol ready to reopen government AND stop health care premiums from more than doubling. This is a REPUBLICAN SHUTDOWN. Trump, Johnson, and Thune need to get serious about negotiating with Democrats if they want our votes.

Day 2 of Trump’s government shutdown. Time to push back against the GOP redistricting power grab and vote YES on Prop 50. Because it’s time for CA to hold the line. Also #NoKings on Oct. 18. #YesOn50 #IceOutOfLA #Indivisible

This is extremely concerning. Please take this seriously and be safe. Taking place in New Bedford, Massachusetts, 10/8. Please share. wbsm.com/new-bedford-...

This is an Epstein shutdown.

I should be working right now.

Hope you could join us in Pleasanton at 1:30-3pm. #NoKings #NoICE #NoFear

The White House is continuing to pressure more states to gerrymander their congressional maps because they are afraid of voters holding them accountable for their unpopular policies. This is a decisive moment for our democracy. Take action to fight back against this power grab. ⬇️

After winning yesterday’s special election, Adelita Grijalva will be the first Latina woman to represent Arizona in Congress. A historic win — during #HispanicHeritageMonth, no less!

Republicans can’t win on their policies, so they are trying to dodge accountability by rewriting the rules. These lawmakers are going out of their way to silence the will of the people and deliberately undermine our democracy.

Republicans would rather shut down the government than help millions of Americans afford health care. This article tells some of their stories, and is a good reminder of what’s at stake.

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.

Let me be clear: this will impact ALL of us. It’s bigger than just Medicaid & Medicare. We will all pay the price.

Lawrence: One of the examples you've put out is in Speaker Mike Johnson's Louisiana district, a 60 year old couple earning 82,000 a year. Their health care premiums will rise by almost $20,000 by 300% because of what their congressman is doing.

For Democrats, the shutdown fight marks a line in the sand born from months of frustration with their inability to stop Trump’s norm-busting leadership. And they will continue to fight, regardless of the practical or political consequences, they say. https://to.pbs.org/46OYckW

Republicans shut down the government to gut healthcare and bankroll Trump’s illegal power grab. We must hold the GOP accountable for causing chaos just to appease a wannabe king. app.sosha.ai/s/cZ6cssW6 Thank you @padilla.senate.gov and @schiff.senate.gov for holding line.

Thank you Senator for fighting!!

Donald Trump SHUT DOWN the government last night. Why? Because he and Republicans in Congress would rather shut down the whole government than lower your health care costs. It’s shameful. www.youtube.com/shorts/TvQQ8...

Thank you Senator!!

This is not a fight about tax credits. This is a fight over your ability to go to a pharmacy and afford your insulin. We have the chance to protect the health care of millions of Americans. We need to take it.

Here are three more factual statements: 1. 25,000 of Mike Johnson's constituents are about to lose health care 2. 27,000 more are about to have their premiums skyrocket. 3. A 60 year old couple in his district would pay $19,000 more a year.

In Chump's Own Words.......

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance However, they are weaker than they look…

Thank you Senators @padilla.senate.gov, @schiff.senate.gov and Congress members @ericswalwell.bsky.social @repmarkdesaulnier.bsky.social @khanna.house.gov @adamgrayca.bsky.social for fighting. #Healthcare should be affordable for all!

AOC: When everyone says makes an exception here or makes an exception there, and then before you know it, you have masked agents roaming the streets of this country that do not feel entitled to identify themselves

Hear from Rep. @maxwellfrost.bsky.social and more great guests at tonight’s rapid response call. We need to act fast to hold Republicans accountable for forcing a government shutdown.

As we mark the start of National Hispanic Heritage Month, it feels more important now than ever to recognize and celebrate the invaluable contributions of the Latino and Hispanic communities here in CA-10 (1/2).

Last week, Ms. Harjit Kaur —a member of the Hercules community for over 30 years who spent years working at Sari Palace in Berkeley— was detained by ICE officials.    Ms. Kaur is a mother, grandmother, and beloved member of her community. CONTINUED⬇️

100% agree!

Thank you Senator!

It’s not just a protest. It’s an ERA.

Republicans want us to forget Trump’s Epstein cover-up. We won’t. We’re demanding ALL the Epstein files be released—and putting billboards in GOP districts to keep the pressure on. Please pitch in if you can: secure.actblue.com/d...

After careful review, we found CA meets 6/6 of our fairness criteria—covering racial equity, public participation, and more. TX on the other hand meets 0/6 criteria. At Common Cause, we’ll always fight for fair maps, fair representation, and people-powered democracy in every state.

“ILLEGALS” MY ASS! Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store. He’s a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.
