This is it
When buying influence is protected as free speech, democracy becomes a bidding war. In 2015 Jimmy Carter said Citizens United “violates the essence of what made America a great country in its political system,” warning the US was “an oligarchy with unlimited political bribery.” End Citizens United

3/1/26: "All I want is freedom for the people." •• One month later •• 4/1/26: "We're going to bring them back to the Stone Ages, where they belong." "Where they belong"? Trump is disturbingly cruel. His story changes daily. He's an untrustworthy con man steering our ship straight toward the rocks.

Pope Leo calls universal health care a 'moral imperative'
States have a moral obligation to develop universal health care systems, Pope Leo XIV said, stating that health cannot be "a luxury for the few."

Trump appointee Joe Kent resigned today as director of the National Counterterrorism Center, saying he "cannot in good conscience" support the war in Iran. Kent argued Iran posed no imminent threat and that the U.S. was pushed into war by Israel and its American lobby.

Be intentional with your news intake. The American media landscape is concentrated and compromised — a few giant companies, many with friends in Washington, controlling most of what you see and hear. With Paramount now taking over HBO and CNN, it's only getting more so.

Khamenei was a brutal dictator who murdered thousands of his own people. His death is being celebrated by many. And: Our Constitution does not become optional because we approve of a certain outcome. Both are true.

Opposing war with Iran doesn't mean supporting the Iranian regime. You can reject both. Trump says this attack on Iran is about their nuclear program. We've heard that kind of justification before: The Iraq War was sold on weapons of mass destruction that were never found.

Nearly 2/3 of California voters want to see transformational changes, not minor reforms, to our broken health care system. A.B. 1900 would enact a single-payer system at a time when voters are ready to champion transformational changes in health care.

Allowing Netanyahu to drag us into another endless war in the Middle East would be a catastrophic error by President Trump and Republicans in Congress. Every lawmaker needs to ring the alarm against U.S. military action in Iran. Only Congress has the authority to declare war.
