Will the billionaires manage to block states’ attempts to raise their taxes? Is this the fastest a press secretary has ever gotten fired? And what does the chilling raid on Ilhan Omar’s home mean for our democracy? Join us on this week’s Coffee Klatch to unpack it all.

California’s billionaires have a combined net worth of $2.4 trillion. Under Prop 40, their net worth would fall to…just under $2.3 trillion. What amounts to a rounding error for them would allow millions of their fellow Californians to afford healthcare. Vote yes on Prop 40.

Volunteer. Cure. Votes. Why do so many youth ballots need curing? Because they weren't taught cursive so they don't have a "formal" signature. If the ballot signature doesn't match the DMV one = problem. Volunteer and help protect youth votes 🗳️ #Voterizer social.fieldteam6.org/s/hNYgUT35

I'm seeing some people ask why the Democratic Party and congressional leaders aren't doing more to challenge Trump's anti-voting executive order. They were literally the first to seek a new injunction after SCOTUS ruled. I know, because I am their lawyer. www.democracydocket.com/cases/trump-...

A proposed rule fueled by Trump’s conspiracy theories would require the USPS to keep a list of voters it believes should be allowed to vote by mail—and give them the power to hold those ballots hostage. Urge them to say NO and help protect voting by mail: act.standupamerica.com/letters/cte-...

#ICE Reports 19th Death of 2026: Georgian National Mamuka Artmeladze Dies at Winn Correctional Mamuka was not a public safety threat, may not have broken a single law, couldn't be deported, and shouldn't have been arrested. ICE forced taxpayers to pay $18,000 detaining him anyway.
