San Diego, CA.- Prop. 10 is developing into a huge battle as rent control advocates and those opposed dig in their heels.

Since 1995, under the Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act, Californians who rent apartments, single-family homes or condominiums have had limited protections from rising prices.

COLORADO - Imagine an anti-gerrymandering campaign that had such broad support across the political spectrum that it was endorsed by both major political parties, was overwhelmingly approved for the ballot by the state legislature, and bans partisan gerrymandering completely.

Sounds impossible, doesn't it? Especially in today's political environment. If something threatens the power of the parties, there is no way they will endorse it. Yet, in the purple state of Colorado, such a campaign does exist.

"I hope someone kills you." Sen. Susan Collins Menaced for Kavanaugh Vote

WASHINGTON, DC - In the wake of her choice to vote for the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) has had to endure a torrent of horrifically abusive and misogynistic comments as well as death threats on Twitter.

WASHINGTON, DC - As they promised to do on Friday, Sens. Joe Manchin (D-WV), Susan Collins (R-ME), and Jeff Flake (R-AZ) voted 'yes' to elevate Judge Brett Kavanaugh, President Trump’s second nominee, to the Supreme Court. Saturday afternoon’s 50-48 vote marks Kavanaugh’s final hurdle before taking the position, swinging the court toward a conservative bench.

WASHINGTON, DC - If there was any discussion whatsoever about constitutional law in the fight over Donald Trump's Supreme Court appointment to replace Anthony Kennedy, the public didn't hear it and won't remember it.
