61 year old human who will follow whom I vote for based on my very intelligent and politically aware 25 year old daughter. She is the future. Our kids are the future. Now is the time for us to solely focus on THEIR futures.

For the first time, [Nadler] said that when Congress returns later this month, he plans to join a growing number of Democratic lawmakers trying to use congressional authority to block the transfer of offensive weapons to Israel. “ www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/n...
The cost of the coffee we get went sky sky about 6 to 8 weeks ago. I could not believe how expensive it got. Thanks, trump tariffs.
This was $12 at the beginning of the year
Ken Martin is the WORST.
Someone might also want to remind this person that a judge named Aileen Cannon was born in the country of Columbia.
And the fact that my daughter received that vaccine -- THE VACCINE THAT WILL ACTUALLY PREVENT HER FROM CERVICAL CANCER -- and fucking rfkjr wants to do AWAY with it? This man must be fired. He is a danger to every single American.
I have known people who have died from cervical cancer. May RFK jr be forced to spend the rest of his life and his entire afterlife having to clean out vomit and shitting pans from those with end stage cancer. Oh...and he'll have no voice. None. He will have to do it in silence. Just enraging.
Countries on track to eliminate cervical cancer: -Australia by 2028 -Sweden by 2027 -Rwanda by 2030 -UK by 2040 -Indonesia by 2030 -Bhutan 2030 -El Salvador by 2030 -Canada by 2040 How? HPV vaccine. Same one RFK Jr is trying to ban. You will note USA is not on this list.
Greetings from Kyiv, where the air raid alert has been ongoing for three hours. Drones. I’m furious that children have to spend their second day of school in shelters.
You have an amazing attitude about this. Me? I'm fucking furious for you. Clearly, your work was incredible, though, which is why some dumbass dude had to steal it. But....GAH!! This makes me mad!
I woke up and saw someone who Stole my work and deep dives didn't even bother to change anything on the SS, reskeeting me, after I let that go weeks ago. But why would you bring attention back to yourself lol thanks for proving my point though on why many men don't deserve our loyalty. 💅🏼🎀 ⏰ for work
Trump fully humiliated and mocked, left out of the group of monsters he has tried to claw his way into since forever.
UPDATE: House Oversight is convening a private roundtable with survivors of Epstein’s abuse. This is a testament to our pressure. I look forward to hearing from survivors & won't stop pushing for a full, public hearing so their stories are documented in the Congressional Record.
the thing about Zohran is he is really fucking good at politics and everyone on the Dem side behaving like he’s a liability has lost their minds I don’t care how you define It, he has It
Okay well this doesn’t specify *which* Trump so let’s keep manifesting
🔥 future Senator of Maine @grahamformaine.bsky.social Platner rallying with Bernie…
Man, I feel this. 🙏🏽😭
Damn right.
Breaking News: Representative Jerry Nadler will not seek re-election, ending a 34-year career as one of Congress’s leading liberal voices.
A LOT of sirens in upper NW DC right on the Wisconsin Ave corridor. Anyone know what’s happening?
This is all so bizarre. And I understand there are lots of helicoptors and police car sirens around Walter Reed. Very very very strange. Almost as weird as POTUS clearly having something EXTREMELY wrong with him and neither the press nor the White House saying a word about it...
To be honest, if I knew the whole world was watching and speculating about the president being about to snuff it, I, too, would probably throw random black bags out the window of the White House just to fuck with everyone. But I'm a terrible person.
Wow. This really breaks my heart. One of those actors who could convey so much in silence. Rest in peace, Graham. You will be very missed in this world but have no doubt you are soaring high above. 🖤
RIP to a real one. I’ve always loved seeing him in anything, and even in minor roles, he carried movies like Green Mile on his shoulders

Bluesky has been critical to Democracy Docket's growth and reach. Nate Silver is an idiot.
It’s September! The leaves are falling, the air is chilled and Congress is back. Ok, let’s see the Epstein files, Mr Speaker.
It's awful when you can't trust any of it, isn't it? And for good reason, too. I wonder if any jobs report will even come out for August -- though whatever it is if it DID, I wouldn't believe it at all. Jobs up by a million, billion, gajillion percent!!!! it would say. Fuckers.
I don’t believe any data coming from the government. All they do is lie.
This is nothing else but a hybrid war that Russia wages against Europe Let's name things as they really are:Russia has made an assassination attempt of the President of the European Commission Russia has been jamming GPS-signals over many Eastern Europe countries that are in its immediate vicinity
Suggesting that China - who is the main enabler of Russia’s genocidal war - should be part of a ‘peacekeeping’ mission to Ukraine, is beyond stupid. The level of incompetence in the American administration is staggering. You don’t ask the rapist to protect the victim. Unless you’re Trump.
This is infuriating and you should send it to every veteran you know, because while you can’t lose your civilian job while you’re activated, they don’t have to pay you, and you can’t get the mortgage pause until you’ve been activated a month. American Legion & VFW should be on fire.
I love this simple idea. Truly love it: "Do you enjoy evening walks? Want to meet some of your neighbors? Unwind and connect at the next walking group meeting this coming Wednesday! We'll be exploring Winnemac Park."
So the photos we get of the “golf outing” today is a pale and feeble looking one of him getting to a car at the WH and this one of him returning. Nothing from the course.
He starts randomly jabbering on about getting into heaven. Mysterious bruising on his hand. He disappears from the public eye for days. Even a child would suspect something was up. Everyone but Congress and mainstream media.
🇮🇳
Trump limits National Guard assignments to 29 days at a time to keep the called up service members from getting healthcare and housing benefits while on duty. And the NG troops are catching on. Stereotypical Trump. Don't give those losers and suckers an extra dime. www.rawstory.com/trump-infuri...
If he's saying that he's never felt better, than I believe that death is imminent because he's a pathological liar. Don't trust and always verify.

The Democratic Party has badly lost its way.
Elon Musk doesn't approve of this message. Chuck Schumer doesn't approve of this message. Hakeem Jeffries doesn't approve of this message. But I do. We need 10,000% more of this.
Nope. I really think we're at Weekend at Bernie level. Nothing that comes from this account is from the name on the account. And, sorry, Donald, we ALL saw the pictures from this morning.
I'm still waiting for the relentless onslaught of media demands for a press conference and calls to resign.
Pure fucking evil. Everyone involved in this shit needs to be held accountable.
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!
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?
Must be Gruden’s favorite golf outfit since he wore it last week at Trump’s club in Virginia.
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.
In case you missed it, Tyrant Turd was seen yesterday for 2 seconds, from afar, then put out a video of him golfing from June. Hoping that when billions of people pray for something simultaneously, it just might be working!
Omg 😮😆

Donald Trump has reportedly gone out of his way to avoid paying national guard troops sent in to Washington, D.C., resulting in outrage from veterans.
He won’t let the press anywhere near him. This is getting weirder and weirder.
I find that really interesting. I contribute regularly to outlets that do really good reporting -- The Guardian, ProPublica, among a few others. For those that can, please contribute to these publications. We all need them and too many don't have any extra funds now. Support good journalism for all!
Encouraging that more youngs tell me that they don’t just read the Guardian but send what $ they can.
Transcript: Trump Lets Slip Dark Truth About His Plot to Rig Midterms newrepublic.com/article/1992... via @newrepublic.com
Trump is boldly opting out of the U.N.’s human rights review—the first time any member has ever refused. Critics slam it as a shameful dodge, proving the U.S. prefers skipping accountability to actually practicing human rights.
Joe Biden is out buying ice cream while everyone is asking whether Trump is dead.
Russian agent Benny Johnson who also takes money from Israel and has received over a million dollars combined from Putin and Netanyahu. Not "right-wing podcaster" or "new media figure" - he is a paid state media propagandist for at least three nations now.
This firefighter arrived in the US at age 4, has been here for 19 years, was on track to legal status, and was on a crew trying to contain a major blaze (in Washington state, vs Oregon, fwiw.) h/t @joshuajfriedman.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Trump’s looking deeply unwell and ducking the spotlight. Biden’s on the beach looking like a grandfather. Newsom looks like a leader. 🔥 Trump’s weakness is undeniable.

No press pool, no cameras… even I’ll say it’s weird.
Oh
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...

we were all happy for an evening and that’s not nothing
Honest to god, at this point I think Fetterman would do a better job than Schumer. This is horrifying and so profoundly irresponsible. @schumer.senate.gov Step the fuck aside. This is not the moment for someone who seems to be able to do AT BEST a below mediocre job. Step the hell aside.
And, you know what else? You're just playing games, stuffing your face with food while this country is at a catastrophic moment. As the leader of the Democrats in the senate, I am hard pressed to think of a more embarrassing, ineffective leader. Maybe Fetterman would be worse? Step the fuck down.
Right, Chuck. And you're so concerned and immersed in what is happening in this country, you spent the day yesterday at a fucking food fair. It's extraordinary to me that you really have no sense of the terrible visuals YOU PERSONALLY OFFER UP. You SHOW US every single day you SUCK at your job.
The Dems are saved! 🙃🤦🏻♂️ Somebody help this man. A party’s need for new leadership has never been more obvious.
I have been saying for a while now that The Guardian is one of the best, most accurate sources for news at the moment. Actual journalists and reporters, not stenographers.
The Guardian is finally saying it: It’s all about the racism. No “both sides.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Maybe ICE shouldn’t have lowered their standards for new recruits.
If you’re in the summoning circle, stay in the summoning circle.
I don't think I would have believed it if he hadn't been wearing that shirt which truly highlights his large man boobs. DAMMIT. I was hoping mightily....
Especially when he wears that shirt where you can see his boobs. Sigh.
(Amen, sister...)
How can I like this a gazillion times?????
(I want to repost and like a MILLION TIMES!!)
Holy SHIT, did I need the to start off my day. HOORAY!!!!
BREAKING! Television legend Stephen Colbert has just signed a $13.5 million deal with Netflix for a 7-episode series chronicling his extraordinary journey through decades of American television history. Fuck trump🖕
I am hoping mightily that @governor.ny.gov will be doing the same as Pritzker. Let's face it, the economic power of blue states is enormous. State pacts with one another would be a strong and sane move right now.
Of COURSE it all comes down to Modi’s refusal to nominate him for a Nobel prize. 🤡
"Lawyers representing the Department of Homeland Security have been instructed to appeal every decision in which someone is granted bond and immediately pause the judge’s ruling while the appeal is pending." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
A third previously AIPAC-backed Democratic member of Congress has renounced ties with the organization and sworn off future affiliation or fundraising with it. Rep. Deborah Ross of NC confirmed that she won't accept AIPAC donations in the 2026 midterms, making her the 2nd one from North Carolina.

exciting news!! our back to school cold is covid
Turns out when you treat teachers well, invest in students, and focus on improving schools, you get real results. Illinois now ranks third in the nation for our education system for a reason.
If what we hope will happen ever happens, we'll watch as many, many people in the world of politics, overnight, go on to pretend they were always against what preceded it. This era has been a highly effective acid test for character. Take notes now, so that you don't forget in the future.
