Today's my birthday and I'm hoping @realDonaldTrump will send me one of his amazing handcrafted cards with a beautiful Sharpie-drawn woman on it
Bluesky has been critical to Democracy Docket's growth and reach. Nate Silver is an idiot.
ICYMI — “LA wouldn’t be standing today” This is a real thing @Sec_Noem said on tv, with a straight face
Portland, Maine crowd as Democratic US Senate candidate Graham Platner takes the stage today.
Trump: I FEEL GREAT NOTHING IS WRONG HERE LOOK A PHOTO OF ME GOLFING FROM A WEEK AGO Giuliani: I WAS HELPING SOMEONE DONT SPREAD CONSPIRACY THEORIES ABOUT MY CAR WRECK Trump: EPSTEIN IS OVER HE DIED A LONG TIME AGO GET OVER IT Sure, guys.
I love this guy
It's gone. Not found.
Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.

This is the way
We Ran the C.D.C.: Kennedy Is Endangering Every American’s Health www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
"The straw man being put forward is that it's either we have the military or we're going to get our throats cut at night in DC. Is there no middle ground? Do local law enforcement account for nothing? We've got the National Guard GARDENING right now in DC. Is that an efficient use of our resources?"
California stepping up.
An upcoming news conference with victims of Jeffrey Epstein could be “explosive,” one of the congressmen pushing for full release of the files on Epstein predicts. Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna said the victims’ accounts will force lawmakers to vote on a bill requiring DOJ to release its files.
I think it's time to discuss the 25th Amendment.
You mean like they would be if it had been Biden?
There's only one way to stop the rumors about Donald Trump's health: a press conference. Why won't he talk to the press, and why isn't the media doggedly demanding it?
NEW: Since corporate media won't call for Trump's resignation, I will. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/trump-must...
Robert Mueller was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2021. We’re just learning about it now because he was asked to testify in the Epstein matter and won’t be able to. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/u...
Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a “financier”? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. I’ve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:
Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.
Pritzker on Trump's authoritarian takeover: "The playbook is the same. It's thwart the media. It's create mayhem that requires military interdiction. These are things that happen throughout history and Donald Trump is just following that playbook."
JB Pritzker uses the word "invasion" to describe what Trump has planned for my city, Chicago. And that's exactly what it would be – an autocratic government trying to crush our dissent because we oppose his corruption, cruelty and incompetence. It's what dictators do.
Honored that Mark is now a Democracy Docket member.🙏 The force of democracy must be with us!!!🥳
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."
No matter what @MarshaBlackburn keeps saying, it’s not criminals they’re targeting. www.cnn.com/2025/08/30/u...
We want to apologize if it feels like we’ve been venting a lot lately. It’s just hard to ignore that nearly every move from this administration seems to be illegal, unlawful, or outright unconstitutional and yet nothing happens.

What a ridiculous person.
New Mexico is overriding the federal government on the topic of COVID19 vaccines to ensure their residents can access them. States hold a tremendous amount of public health power. They should use it.
Good night 🌙 and….
Why do you appreciate unions? I’ll start: Weekends off Paid vacations Work breaks Sick leave Paid holidays No child labor Safer working conditions Health care and retirement benefits
Media should hound him at least half as much as they hounded Biden. But they won’t.

My reporting uncovered the existence of DoJ training videos instructing FBI personnel on how to flag Trump’s name in the Epstein files. I’m suing to get the videos under FOIA. substack.com/@muellershew...

Trump wants you to forget Epstein. Or at least, trust the lady whose been convicted of the crime. My latest adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/maxwell-th...
Auntie Maxine Waters is calling for the application of the 25th Amendment of the Constitution to declare Trump unfit to serve as president.
We are so fucked.
This Labor Day, I urge you to join a Workers Over Billionaires protest. We must continue standing together to show Trump that we, the people, have the power – not his billionaire buddies and corporate cronies. bit.ly/4lMgKaR
“You cannot argue with stupid people. They will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience” -Mark Twain This is why the medical experts are leaving the CDC.
Good.
FLAG: Missouri's governor just called a special session of the state legislature to pass a gerrymandered congressional map in favor of Republicans. Just like what Greg Abbott did in Texas.
The damage this man has done is incalculable.
Garcia: We finally got word from the Epstein estate. They're going to be providing the actual Epstein book… the estate is actually going to actually now get us that book and a bunch of other documents that they have that's actually not been reported yet.
I agree but I also will not feel hopeless.
I can be hopeful. We have mace not running again. If we get enough of those.
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker: "The Trump administration has not contacted me at all whatsoever. Nobody in my administration. They're just looking to invade the city of Chicago, not coordinate with law enforcement … not coordinating with the state of Illinois, the Governor or the Mayor of the city."
Congress. If he keeps taking away their powers are they going to keep allowing it?
The CDC is gutting a program that monitors foodborne illnesses. The program will now only track infections caused by two pathogens, rather than eight. Hello? How does this “Make America Healthy Again”?
IMPEACH NOW Trump tries to wrest spending power from Congress as government shutdown looms - The Washington Post
From a Twitter research project to an independent rival — Bluesky’s journey under CEO Jay Graber shows how a decentralized, user-first platform gained millions users by prioritizing control & openness in social media. A true alternative in a billionaire-dominated space. www.cnbc.com/2025/08/29/b...
A federal judge has ordered Florida to shut down "Alligator Alcatraz," after the state spent a staggering $218M to build the now-vacant detention camp. Closing it will run taxpayers another $20M. An utterly cruel and costly waste.
Welch: “He calls himself the law-and-order president, but he’s a convicted felon. He pardons felons. He surrounds himself with sycophants who kiss his ass every single day.”
Now, if he could just get a pierogi...
What if we established a tax-exempt Church of Democracy and sued the government for infringing on our religious freedoms when it does authoritarian stuff?
So they have reduced the charge against sandwich guy to a misdemeanor, but they're still going to trial over it? This seems not normal...
They’re traumatizing kids.
Reason 4857 why health care should never be for profit: AI DEATH PANELS. This is the same kind of program used to deny claims at United Health, and they want to use this for VA claims, too.
The "Well, we're all going to die" lady is dropping out. Given the last two special elections in Iowa, Ernst is running scared.
Mike Johnson makes clear that when Congress returns next week he's going to work tirelessly to cover up the Epstein files
Which means absolutely nothing.
You're not going to believe this but Susan Collins is "extremely alarmed"
Destroy America for the pleasure of the kremlin.

Kellogg was sidelined specifically because he’s a better negotiator. They aren’t actually trying to end this war.
WHOOPSIE DOODLE
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.

Ashley Babbit dishonored her service by committing insurrection against her country. While her death is absolutely tragic and I wish it hadn’t happened, the Air Force giving her honors is in itself a dishonor.
