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.

🚨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/...
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!
I'm still waiting for the relentless onslaught of media demands for a press conference and calls to resign.
He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
Oh
This is never going away, is it?
Trump says museums focus too much on the “negative aspects” of American history, like “how bad slavery was.” And plans to purge cultural institutions. But be clear: he’s not talking about alternately uplifting Black inventors, builders, and leaders we were never taught about…
Je n'imagine pas! Un F3 dans le Marais... Rien de regretter!
🚨BREAKING: 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/...
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.
I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is. This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.
Meiselas on GOP now saying it's the states' job to lower costs: So everything that happened with the economy while Biden was trying to put out the fire created by the arsonist Trump during his first administration, was blamed on Biden. But Trump makes everything worse, now its a state issue?!
Pay attention. Your family’s safety is on the line.
As long as guns are easily available to crazy people, mass killings directed at so-called soft targets will continue. This is a fact. Countries where it's more difficult for crazy people to obtain guns have less shootings. This is also a fact. Do with these facts as you will.
Or maybe it's the guns.
Last week Trump said he likes the idea of starting a war so he can declare “no more elections” and stay in office forever. Today he just said “a lot of people” want “a dictator.” See where this is going?
I spotted this dog in Delhi, India at the weekend out of the corner of my eye. He was being beaten. Luckily we got him to safety. His recovery has started
Yes, we BOO Santa.
Re-reading the report of the Social Security whistleblower, it is striking how many times good people within SSA tried to keep DOGE from committing crimes. Here's my understanding of the timeline 🧵
Well, Larry, by definition an assault is illegal. We have a lot of problems in Philadelphia (perhaps because of him) but I appreciate his position in this statement.
There’re reports about an explosion at the Ryazan-Moscow pipeline in Ryazan region of Russia.The pipeline is one of the main sources that supplies oil products to Moscow Since 2018,it has been used for supplying gasoline by a Russian Transneft state company that also provides fuel for army
Hopefully that isn't a rumor.
You need self respect to have the cohones to invoke the 25th. But then again, that's why they have those well paid positions to begin with.
They don't have the guts to invoke the 25th. And MH, she stopped being valid during T1.
In 2020, when I told people that I was building a pro-democracy media outlet, people thought I was kidding. When I told them that the fight for democracy was the fight of our time, they thought I was being overly dramatic. Well...here we are. Subscribe to Democracy Docket now. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

Let’s all take a moment to reflect on how this just absolute alpha male sprayed on his hair for TV
But they still vote for her.
Saving the country should be more important than a few bucks for a few.
YES!
There was something I missed that I now understand with grave reality — people lived their lives under repressive systems. They still worked and cooked and ate and wrote and talked to neighbors. They still took walks and watched movies and read books. A nightmare. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

🚨BREAKING: 3rd Circuit REJECTS RNC motion to pause ruling requiring Pennsylvania counties to count undated/wrongly dated ballots. This means counties cannot reject undated and wrongly dated ballots while the case continues on appeal. Congrats to our clients DSCC and DCCC!
"Only when the last tree has been cut, the last river has been poisoned & the last fish been caught will they realize that they can't eat money" old Cree proverb
Tyrants govern through fear. Dictators take their power from the acquiescence of the good people who don't speak out. It is our obligation as citizens to set aside fear and take a step forward not a step back.
Pritzker gets it.
Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.
Thank you for this information and for adding to the dialogue.
If you find yourself repeating fascist threats and lies and bluster, you are only helping them. “They’re going to deport Kilmar to Uganda on Monday.” Shut the fuck up. No they’re not. They want you to think they’re invincible monsters. They’re not. They’re decaying pedophiles.
This stupid cautious shit is going to kill the Democratic Party and take what’s left of democracy with it.
When it is personal, unless it involves a female and then they won't believe her.
Some people believed her. The problem goes back to Eve being blamed for Adam's lack of responsibility and it continues to be the case today. There are many, many victims of sexual assault and the world would rather deny it.
The second amendment guarantees the right to a militia to guard against federal tyranny. But if a president can use that force against its own state, against the wishes of that state, then it is no militia at all and a clear violation of the second amendment.
One of my favorites in DC, along with the museum dedicated to Native Americans.

My friend’s life hangs on cancer research. Now SCOTUS handed Trump the knife to slash it. This isn’t policy—it’s a death sentence. Science saves lives, but only if democracy survives. Read Ben’s story, then fight back: open.substack.com/pub/thedange...

Give them more weapons.
AMERICANS ... LISTEN TO THIS 100 TIMES OVER TO TRY AND LEARN SOMETHING... if you think you are just going to coast to the mid-terms and then everything will be normal again THINK AGAIN.
Friday night Tequila Tweet: Fuck anyone who wants to erase slavery from American history. Fuck anyone who wants our museums to empathize the “good” aspects of slavery. Fuck anyone who can’t handle the truth about slavery. Slavery was bad. It was evil. And fuck anyone who disagrees.
Why can’t a single American journalist do this? Trump has repeatedly claimed he’s ended numerous wars — he’s now increased the number to ten! — and he’ll surely do it again. Ask him to name the wars he says he’s won. Ask Leavitt. Ask Hegseth. Ask Rubio. Just fucking ask them & don’t let go.
Well! If a known perjurer and sex offender says it to get a pardon, that's good enough for me!
How this con works: Trump purchases $100 million in corporate bonds. He appoints a third 'friendly' board member and apply pressure for Fed to lower interest rates. He makes a killing. This market manipulation would send most people to jail for a VERY LONG TIME. www.nbcnews.com/business/eco...

"The president was never inappropriate with anybody in the times that I was with him," claims perjuring felon who thinks child rape is appropriate.
The people who reflexively say that everything happening in the news every day is just a distraction from the Epstein files are allowing themselves to get distracted by the Epstein files from many other things that are incredibly important also.

⚖️ The Supreme Court is about to decide if the Voting Rights Act itself is unconstitutional. This isn’t just Louisiana. This could erase Black and brown representation nationwide. Without the Voting Rights Act, there is no democracy.
Joe Scarborough criticized and ridiculed Gavin Newsom trolling Trump on social media. Here are 9 reasons why I think he is wrong. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...
Ossoff: And let me just say this about JD Vance, because he was supposed to be this avatar of a new GOP that was for working class people. His legacy forever now is casting the decisive vote to throw millions of Americans off health care
Ossoff: "There is at some point is going to be a reckoning for all of this. These folks who are working at these private prison companies who are on Kristi Noem's staff right now, they are at some point going to have to testify under oath about what is happening in the facilities they're running."
California has walked the walk on independent redistricting at the state level for 15 years. But we cannot unilaterally disarm while other states throw out the rules to gain power. With one vote, Californians can punch back and also demand nationwide independent redistricting.
You suggest she roll over and do nothing which is ridiculous.

I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now. I’ve watched as corporations and the super-rich flooded D.C. with campaign cash and ransacked our system. It won't be easy, but here’s how we break the oligarchy and return power to the people. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sP0pRIBRcDk
Why Russia is in both Europe and Asia!
So just not try it? You really are a killer
They never had minds to lose
And people will believe this nonsense propaganda.
Why do this when u have been fighting for years. Trump is doing this because of the Epstein files. Putin owns Trump.
Big mistake. The security guarantees are a big fat lie.
State legislative leaders just took the first step toward giving Californians a chance to fight back against Donald Trump's election rigging attempts. If Texas Republicans obey Trump's demands, voters will take up Proposition 50 on Nov. 4th.
No no, they know exactly what they are doing. Stop assuming they are good people already. They are criminals, and they are committing crimes all day long because they're in power, so nobody's holding them to account. And as long as you don't call them what they really are, this will continue.
Yes. That's why we stopped spending our tourist dollars there. Won't even go to see friends and family.
This bs is why we won't ever go to Texas. None of my tourist dollars will ever go to them or anyone like them
IF only they had thought of a better way of saying it! Marketing matters
