So our military just bombed a boat in international waters and extrajudicially killed suspected drug traffickers without so much as a conversation, let alone a trial? Then posted it on social media? And we’re all supposed to just trust their account?
Rand Paul: "The reason we have trials & we don't automatically assume guilt is what if we make a mistake and they happen to be people fleeing the Venezuelan dictator? ... off our coast it isn't our policy just to blow people up ... even the worst people in our country, they still get a trial."
Pritzker: "Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next?"
Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"
As we begin September, Democracy Docket is tracking 139 voting and election cases is 40 states. 13 in Georgia 13 in North Carolina 10 in Texas 9 in Arizona 8 in Pennsylvania 8 in Wisconsin Democracy is on the docket! www.democracydocket.com
The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.
...aren't you AFRICAN? ... ...and, like, the version that's kinda not originally from THERE either?

I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

"Why should I care about U.S. Space Command being transferred to Alabama? I hate the military-industrial complex. We spend too much money on defense. Why does it matter which rich people get richer off it?" There are a number of reasons you should care, but you really only need one. (thread)

Pritzker: "We don't want troops on the streets of American cities. That's un-American and frankly the president ought to know better. This one doesn't seem to. He hasn't read any books. He doesn't seem to understand the Constitution or the laws."

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
A couple of months ago, the Navy dishonored civil rights hero Harvey Milk by removing his name from a ship. Now, the Air Force is dishonoring itself by celebrating a domestic terrorist called Ashli Babbitt.

The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it. ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures. Losers with power become the most dangerous kind. (c/o Caroline Codsi)

Hi, immunologist here: (a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes) RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation” That’s NOT how immunology works. He is an anti-science profiteer. Start calling him such.
The feds are arresting firefighters while they are in the middle of fighting active forest fires. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...
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.
"For those people out there who ... say, 'Well, I just don't like those people either' ... You could be next. ... This is not about any one individual, this is about our rights as Americans, and our right to have a justice system where choices about prosecuting are made without fear or favor."
I was worried they were starting to get it. It doesn’t appear that will happen anytime soon though.
🚨BREAKING: Third Circuit STRIKES DOWN Pennsylvania requirement that mail-in ballots that arrive in undated or misdated return envelopes be discarded. Court holds that Constitution requires they be counted. A big victory for our clients DSCC and DCCC and PA voters!

Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day. Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day. It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.
Rick Scott's company defrauded Medicare and Medicaid $1.7 billion. So he still has the record.

The issue isn’t that Maxwell lied throughout her entire proffer. She has been lying, deceiving and manipulating people her entire life. I expect it from her. The issue is that the US Department of Justice gave her very tangible benefits already for those lies with more to come.
Here’s what was NOT released today: - the proffer agreement between Maxwell and the DoJ - the agreement transferring Maxwell to club fed - communications showing who waived Maxwell’s sex offender status allowing her transfer and possible work assignments outside prison - the Epstein files

Authoritarianism in plain sight. Texas Rep. Nicole Collier was forced by police to hang up on a press call after being threatened with a felony arrest—for daring to speak. She can’t be in the bathroom, can’t be on the floor, can’t even talk to the press without GOP cops breathing down her neck.
Democrats could have done this 10 years ago. The majority wants FIGHTERS. Just fight. Fight fire with fire. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/20/u...

I hope your community is never occupied like LA or DC. But if it is, you’ll quickly find that people don’t take kindly to having their city under federal control. And folks are just getting started. 📌 Protesters gathered near a checkpoint in the U Street corridor in Northwest Washington.
Another a grift opportunity. What ever happened to the criminal investigation concerning the Centene $10 million Ron and Casey skimmed from funds meant to reimburse Florida’s Medicaid program? How did Ron’s PAC spend it? Why was it his to spend?

@robertgarcia.bsky.social: "We can't just take what Ghislaine Maxwell says on her word. She's a known liar. We must have the files and all the information so that anything she says can be then corroborated with what was in the files that the White House is now clearly trying to hide and cover up."

Trump imposed 35% tariffs on Canada as punishment for it recognizing Palestine as a state. The impeached felon's attempted attack on Canada comes at a time when most Canadians are boycotting the US, a boycott that has nearly single handily destroyed the US tourism industry.

This proves five things: 1. The protests in LA were peaceful 2. The National Guard and Marines were unnecessary 3. ICE officers lie 4. DHS stats on ICE agent assaults are overblown 5. You can not, in fact, indict a ham sandwich if you have no case www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Thank you for doing this. SometimesI can’t understand the MAGAnesia. The GOP used to stand for honorable, strong with an honorable military and the support of law enforcement. Now they have devolved into the PEDO Party.

Speaker Johnson sent the House home early, hoping the pressure to release the Epstein files dies off. They’re planning to subpoena Ghislaine Maxwell. But look out—Trump might be cooking up a pardon deal. Pay-to-play. She gets freedom, and in return, she says exactly what he wants her to say.
