California’s private insurers are abandoning homeowners and dodging payouts while padding executives’ pockets.

"Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) Friday secured a Senate vote on his amendment to the government funding package to repeal the $75 billion funding increase for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) — originally included in Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” (OBBB). The amendment would use those savings to reverse #Medicaid cuts in the OBBB, preventing 700,000 Americans from losing their health care.”

"Trump has launched an illegal regime change war.

The Wall Street Journal reported that the average employment gain in 2025 was 49,000 jobs per month, compared to 168,000 per month in 2024. So much for Donald #Trump bringing jobs back to the US. Promises made, promises broken.

On November 1st, 1977, President Carter signed a law raising the minimum wage to $3.35 an hour from $2.25. He was flanked by people who were there in 1938 when FDR signed the first minimum wage into law. But on the same day, the US withdrew from the ILO. It may have had its issues, but all that did was send mixed messages to the 99% about the commitment of the Democratic Party to organized labor. And then the Democrats wonder why they lost in 1980 to Ronald Reagan. #1u
