DC is beautiful. #FreeDC
Normally, the Department of Justice rewards witnesses for turning on co-defendants, co-conspiracists, and accomplices. Ghislaine Maxwell is probably the first witness rewarded for *absolving* them. Because she is part of a coverup, not a prosecution.

It’s my opinion that humanitarian and musical genius Dolly Parton (as well as Chef José Andrés) deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. tucson.com/life-enterta...
Mockler: Now, along with the on the ground movements like MoveOn, which is very important. We also have online movements that are growing, like MeidasTouch. Who here knows MeidasTouch? Everybody knows MeidasTouch. You wanna know why? It's because we are beating Fox News.
💥 The NFL is stoked to be woke. “All 32 teams will feature an end zone message of their choice at each home game throughout the season, selecting from four options: ‘End Racism,’ ‘Stop Hate,’ ‘Choose Love’ or ‘Inspire Change.’ africa.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...
That got us wondering: How would those governors feel if National Guard troops from other states were ordered onto their streets, perhaps to patrol one of the 53 cities in those states with a higher murder rate than Washington’s? So, we asked them. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/the...
Awesome!
😆 🔥 some beautiful, creative resistance
Honestly surprised we're not seeing more incidents like this -- both the masked men impersonating cops and the intended victim shooting masked men.
Today proved once again that no one is covering the GOP's redistricting scheme as closely and with as much analysis as Democracy Docket. Its team of 20 works around the clock to provide you independent pro-democracy news and information. Support their work by signing up today. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0
Warren: But right now, given what Texas has done, I say to California and Gavin Newsom, well played
I got to talk to the delightful Jodie Sweetin, who was on Full House and Fuller House, and is super woke and awesome. We talked about life and current events. I know this post won’t get many likes, cuz I’m promoting a podcast episode. But I gotta post’em. Fuck me, right?
Oh man. Embarrassing for Dean Cain. ICE posting his training session like it’s some kind of “Man of Steel” flex. Although it tracks with the incompetent, undertrained ICE agents we’re seeing on the streets.
Frost: He knows they can't win, so he wants to cheat. The same thing he's done his entire life. But I'll tell you something else I feel really good about, is what California's doing. They're saying we're not gonna let you do this without a fight.

Newsom’s Twitter troll is genius because pleading and crying in front of an authoritarian does nothing, but pointing and laughing enrages the authoritarian.

I remember being on a train in Eastern Europe and being terrorized in the middle of the night by officious men in epaulets demanding to see everyone's papers. I said to my friend, "Glad we don't live in a 'show me your papers' country." That seems rather quaint now. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Pam Bondi swore this would never happen.
I honestly don't know what I did to deserve this incredible tribute. I can only say I'm honored, flattered, and humbled—and, of course, deeply grateful to everyone who made this accolade possible. I pledge to do my utmost to live up to it. 🙏🏼🤗
The State of Illinois at this time has received no requests or outreach from the federal government asking if we need assistance, and we have made no requests for federal intervention.
Thank you, Marc.
🚨BREAKING: Hours after Texas passed its new map, my law firm has challenged it in federal court. In addition to violating the VRA, HB 4 violates the 14th Amendment because it unjustifiably considers race and partisanship as part of a voluntary, mid-cycle redistricting. @redistrictfdn.bsky.social
Thank you, D.C. This is what resisting fascism looks like (and some clips)
This is so important… Sharon has been tracking license plates on cars driven by ICE agents, and she’s finding they don’t match the vehicles. In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tactics—just like we suspected. REMINDER: the DMV is not a federal agency. @governor.ca.gov 🧵
I promised Texas would be sued. And I don't bluff. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
I love that Zelensky brought his global homies with him this time as backup against Trump, Vance, and the rest of their asshole bully crew.
BAHAHA
Can I get an amen?
No.
Bless the guy who heckled JD Vance today! 😂
I ran the numbers and in an all-out gerrymandering max war, the Democrats will win because the cities they control have millions and millions more people. This is the only way to save the country from the drooling morons.
Red states rely on the money from Blue states to function. This can all be over the second Democratic governors actually wield their power.
The guy yelling “couch f’cker” at JD Vance in this video is pure freaking gold! ⭐️👇 I shit you not!
Round up every last Trumpfascist and put THEM in the alligator camps for treason. Run on that promise. Now THAT would be justice.
What real leadership looks like. Thank you, President Barack Obama, for standing strong with California, defending our rights, and fighting for the people of this nation.

🚨BREAKING: The U.S. Department of Justice has escalated its demand for access to Maine’s voter registration records, now requesting that election officials turn over unredacted copies of voter rolls and every voter registration application submitted in the past 18 months.
Newsom: I mean, even poor Kid Rock — these guys, they’ve gotten a little precious, haven’t they? The folks at Fox are like, “Oh, this is so unbecoming of a governor. Oh, oh.” And meanwhile, they sit there reading his tweets every single day. Are they really that out of touch?
👇👇
“My budget has become double for food shopping”
Gavin Newsom responds to Fox's Dana Perino melting down over his tweets:
Perino: You think we don't get the joke -- we get the joke. It's just not funny.
Again: this is not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.
Don't threaten me with a good time.
An idea:
A year ago today… God how different it could have been.
🇺🇸 National Guard soldier speaks out: “I swore an oath to defend our constitution… seeking refuge is not an act of violence. Locking people up for it is.”
Rep. Nicole Collier is a Goddamn warrior. This is a woman who is demonstrating grit, resolve, tenacity and the refusal to bow…rather than just yapping about it.
NEW—Tell Congress: Push back on Trump’s military takeover of DC Let’s try to get to 500 today! actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...
Don’t let these Republicans even THINK they can spread their propaganda Greg Abbott could give much needed flood relief RIGHT NOW to Texas flood victims, but he won’t because TRUMP won’t let him He already has the authority and the money This is all one big ploy to STEAL congressional seats!!!!
This meeting will be described as “three monkeys dry humping a jolly rancher” in history books
It's going to take all of us to fight back against Republican redistricting efforts in Texas. I'm so proud of the Democrats in the state legislature. They have shown immense courage and are putting up one hell of a fight.
I love this trolling of Donald. 🤣🤣
Just for those who may be a little confused: This is how an American president should treat Putin.

Greetings from Kyiv. I read the news and made a very strong warcoffee.
🇺🇦 Re-upping this one in the name of decency and democracy. Slava Ukraini!
Blumenthal: "My stomach turned when I heard the president of the United States characterize Vladimir Putin as his fabulously good friend. Vladimir Putin is a war criminal."
Putin owns Rump
The average American loves Ukraine and is praying for peace.
I can be deeply sceptical (even angry) about today’s meeting of the two. But I’m deeply grateful to the people in Alaska who showed their support. One day, it will be studied in history books.
Well done, Alaska.
Operation “Get him to stroke out” is in full swing.

It’s not a distraction. It’s fascism.
Never forget
Crockett: We're talking about them going after Clyburn in South Carolina, Andre Carson in Indiana, Reverend Cleaver in Missouri. Emilia Sykes in Ohio, three of the four black representatives that we currently have in the state of Texas. So don't tell me this isn't about race…
Brett Meiselas: The tone is set from the top. And now, we have a president of the United States infecting the population. There has never been a more divisive, more corrupt individual in the presidency...trickle-down economics may not work, but trickle-down assholery? That’s absolutely a thing.
So, no national guard on January 6th, but definitely on August 11th. Makes total sense.
Doesn’t deploy federal troops to stop a Capitol invasion or save children from a Texas flood or clean up debris from a StL tornado. Deployed federal troops to disperse people in sleeping bags. Got it.
In Trump’s latest petty and vindictive move, the official portrait of former President Barack Obama has been moved from the entryway of the White House to an area that is not open to the public.
Stop what you're doing and listen to this warning from @marcelias.bsky.social about the real reason for Trump's National Guard deployment in DC.
"Let me be crystal clear: crime in DC is ending and ending today."
Reporter: The president threatened to use not just the National Guard but the military. Bowser: I think I speak for all Americans, we don't believe it is legal to use the American military against American citizens on American soil.
But I was told by everyone on the right that the only person who could deploy the National Guard (or prevent the deployment of the National Guard) was Nancy Pelosi.
I just can’t believe our Reichstag Fire is the Big Balls Beatdown.
Tapper: What do you make of Abbott’s argument that you’re fleeing like chickens… Crockett: The only weakling is the Governor himself. It’s not Texans that asked him to do this—it is the criminal in the White House that begged for him to do this.
Bowser: "I think I speak for all Americans -- we don't believe it's legal to use the American military against American citizens on American soil."
Raskin: In any event, if he really cared about public safety in DC… he would not have pardoned 1600 insurrectionists and violent cop beaters on his first day in office.
National Guard deployed to protect the Epstein Files.
People in Los Angeles have been protesting 24 hours for 2 weeks straight and no news outlet is covering it! 8/8/25
What if Pam Bondi did decide to open an investigation into why I stopped posting on Twitter? Would the legacy media treat it with outrage or with skeptical bemusement? Or would everyone just look away and hope it doesn’t happen to them next? www.democracydocket.com/opinion/im-n...

It's not the crime as much as it's the coverup.
"I completely agree with Nick Fuentes" is a sentence I never thought I'd write.
Happy Friday to everyone who might be concerned that he has possession of the nuclear codes, blames the messenger for tanking the economy & would gladly pardon a monster to save his own thin orange skin.
