Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

Democracy Docket has a reporter in the courtroom covering the Texas redistricting hearing every single day. Meanwhile, the big legacy media is nowhere to be found.

At stake are 5 congressional seats. If this matters more than both sides journalism, become a DD subscriber today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

If you're looking for a weekend pod, check out our conversation with Chris Murphy. He delivers one of clearest descriptions yet of the dangers of the moment and offers the strongest case yet for Dems to maximize their resistance. Audio here, highlights threaded below.

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE:

This statement is a clear example of what is known as “State Terrorism”: When the dictatorship will order all instruments of its state security & intelligence apparatus against its own citizens to terrorize the population.

Abolish ICE.

Pass it on.

Swalwell: There’s going to be a Democratic majority in just over a year. To the FCC chairperson and anyone in involved in these dirty deals: get a lawyer and save your records because you’re going to be in this room answering questions

Scream into your pillow.

Thank you on this labor day!!

Literally.

Not only will we continue to demand the release of the unredacted (other than that of the victims), Epstein files, we demand the victims be heard!
We don't care what a convicted sex trafficker has to say. The only voices that matter are those of the victims.

Genuinely incredible that she's saying this with 2 accused rapists on either side of her

The thing about the Epstein disgustingness that strikes me hardest is that hundreds of rich old men raped underage girls and the only person currently in jail for that vile behavior is a woman.

Remember : Epstein’s victims have already told us the names of the men who had done a lot of these crimes, we know there’s a list, we know this is a cover up.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

House Democrats are voting HELL NO YouTube video by Rep. Jeffries

Just took to the House Floor to speak in support of a country where everyone can afford to live the good life.

And in strong opposition to Trump’s One Big Ugly Bill that is devastating to everyday Americans.

We will not be silenced.

A post by Rep. Keith Self which says: The Senate’s version of the BBB is morally and fiscally bankrupt.

He posted this a few hours ago.

Then voted Yes.

History rhyming 🧵
From July 26, 1933 edition of NY Times. These three stories run side by side.
1. National Socialists open new prison

Speak Truth.....

I previously reported that DOGE has been intimately involved in grant cut decisions at NIH.

Indeed: Brad Smith, a leading DOGE figure, sent acting director Memoli a list of 18 notices of funding opportunities to take down. 25 minutes later, Memoli recommended all 18 be taken down.

Sounds like the court of a dissolute king, not the office of a decent public servant.

REMEMBER THIS: FREEDOM is a Pure Idea. TYRANNY requires constant effort. AUTHORITY is brittle. OPPRESSION is the mask of fear.

“Remember this…”
