Bluesky has been critical to Democracy Docket's growth and reach. Nate Silver is an idiot.

Photo passed along from a federal employee from inside the Dept of Labor building, where a giant Orwellian image of Trump's face is now draped outside. Big Brother is watching.
We are already suing Ohio.
This Labor Day, we celebrate the power of working people – and the courtroom wins we’ve secured on their behalf. We’re committed to fighting back against the Trump-Vance admin’s efforts to roll back job protections, undermine decades of anti-discrimination policy & silence workers.
Working people make this country great. We’re celebrating this Labor Day by uniting to demand justice, equity, and dignity for all workers. Visit maydaystrong.org to learn how you can join the movement.
Spent some time blocking trolls. It's one of the great features of Bluesky.
It is wild that the Washington Post -- which claims "Democracy Dies in Darkness" -- has remained completely silent for more than a day about Trump's latest attack on free and fair elections. Support pro-democracy independent media. Subscribe to Democracy Docket today. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0
In case you are wondering what is going on today at WaPo and Democracy Docket.
We are suing Texas in two cases -- one voting, one redistricting.
If they enact a new illegal congressional map, Missouri will be sued.

As we begin a new month, my law firm is litigation 51 voting and election cases in 25 states. 6 in Arizona 6 in Georgia 4 in Florida 4 in North Carolina 8 involve redistricting

Trump has been invited to the UK for a State Visit on 17th-19th September 2025. He cannot hide from the public for much longer.
Oh, Andy Borowitz. What a gem you are.
I like the rebrand.
California stepping up.
He won’t let the press anywhere near him. This is getting weirder and weirder.
Nearly 250K people have already watched my interview with Cong. Jamie Raskin that posted on Friday. That is a lot for our YouTube channel! Take some time this weekend and watch for yourself. You will hopefully learn and enjoy. youtu.be/YDLIgNzb5FM
Still no word from the Washington Post about Trump's latest attack on democracy. But, it is now offering advice to Trump about how to effectuate his tariff plan. Support pro-democracy independent media. Subscribe to Democracy Docket today. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0
J.B. Pritzker is 100% right. Please listen to him, pay attention, and join us in speaking out against authoritarianism and to protect free and fair elections.
Donald Trump is once again threatening to issue an executive order targeting voting. This is an effort to subvert the Constitution and the 2026 election, which grants states and Congress but not the president power to regulate federal elections. If he does this, we will sue and we will win (again).
🚨BREAKING: President Donald Trump said in a weekend social media post he plans to issue an executive order to impose voter ID requirements. And he reiterated his desire to ban mail voting. The president lacks the authority to take either step. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

THIS IS NOT NORMAL FOR TRUMP. Something very strange is going on.
Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe (R) reinforced GOP power grabs sweeping the country, calling a special legislative session Friday to redraw congressional districts and weaken the ability of voters to pass laws through ballot initiatives. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."

I can now think of $1B reasons why the FBI might raid the people controlling the Epstein estate before Sept 8th.
BREAKING: Epstein estate agrees to hand over documents to Congress, including the "birthday book," according to ranking member @robertgarcia.bsky.social.
Release the Epstein files!!!!
What’s wild to me: NOW, media outlets & medical organizations are “stunned” by the damage RFK Jr. is doing to CDC, other health agencies, & public health. Me & my colleagues have been screaming about him for years. Years. Even more so in the last year. We were called hyperbolic. 1/

That Trump and Trumpism are fascist doesn’t explain the sheer vandalism of unleashing mass murdering mayhem via RFK to replace medical/scientific institutions of immense value and prestige with medieval peasant superstitions. That is a criminal madness facilitated by but above and beyond fascism.
"Upgrade?" The Felon Administration is putting pressure on the Holocaust Museum to 'upgrade' the US response to Nazi Germany during WW2. They will whitewash the awful part of history when America turned away fleeing Jews. Many had to return, resulting in death.😢✡️ abcnews.go.com/US/upcoming-...

"This is the bottom line...They don't like facts because facts are bad for them." Trump's war on facts makes all of us less safe— @neeratanden.bsky.social explains.
Republicans used to be against federal government overreach—but now they're silent as Trump seems to be forming a personal paramilitary force.

One of the most formative experiences I had in law school was going with a group of volunteers to New Orleans as part of a pro bono corps to help families navigate accessing FEMA funds.
But not just yet, unless you like the sound of "Chief Justice Cannon"?

President Trump’s union-busting EO strips bargaining rights for millions of federal workers and calls it “national security.” We recognize this for what it is: an unconstitutional and retaliatory attack on workers and their unions.
We've launched a new D.C. campaign demanding that federal agents take off their masks — because public servants should face the public. Our posters and mobile billboard will be blanketing the District, demanding accountability.
Legal and constitutional experts worry Trump is laying the groundwork to use the Guard to seize control of any city he wants to bring to heel. On Monday, he signed an executive order that primes the Guard “for rapid mobilization,” across the country. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/tru...

Newsom: Perhaps the president could deploy the National Guard in every corner of Mississippi. Murder rate is out of control there. And the governor may want to make that phone call.

Honestly, I still expected more from Trump than this tired and lazy trope 🤦. Isn't "The Radical Left" already a big enough Enemy?
I haven't heard Trump rant about George Soros before. What has prompted this antisemitic screed now?
When Trump claims he can ‘do anything’ as president, he wants us to take him at his word. And unfortunately, many do. But the reality tells another story: he is largely a paper tiger whose power is checked by four distinct forces out of his control.
Shortly after Trump met with Putin in Alaska, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard abruptly ousted a CIA expert who had helped brief Trump’s team in the lead-up to the meeting. By naming this person in a memo, Gabbard appears to have identified a CIA officer who was operating under cover.
