Tina Smith on Mike Lee: "I went to him and I said, 'Your message on social media showed the image of the man who killed my friend ... and your message is, this is what happens? You need to take responsibility and accountability ...' And I wanted him to hear that from me directly."

A bad President, for
instance, has the power to do what? What can he not do? If he wanted to
revolutionize this government, he could easily do it with this ponderous
power; it would be an auxiliary power. He could cry β€œhavoc, and let slip the
dogs of war,”29 and say to the conspirators: β€œI am with you. If you
succeed, all is well. If you fail, I will interpose the shield of my pardon, and
you are safe. If your property is taken away from you by Congress, I will
pardon and restore your property. Go on and revolutionize the government;
I will stand by you.” The bad man will say or might say this. I am not sure
but we have got a man now who comes very near saying it. Let us have done
with this pardoning power. We have had enough of this. Pardoning! How
inexpressibly base have been the uses made by this powerβ€”this beneficent
power. It has been that with which a treacherous President has trafficked.
He has made it the means of securing adherents to himself instead of
securing allegiance to the government.

White Friends, You Can't Be Woke and Silent In my travels around this country, both in person and online, I meet lots of white people who fancy themselves woke.

Too many of my white friends are still doing risk analysis, still weighing the costs of expressing their new revelations, still concerned about what they will lose by speaking out.

The reality is, the risks and consequences of silence are far greater.

Every Republican must pick a side: Will you fight for Medicaid, SNAP and vital programs your constituents rely on? Or will you fight for handouts to billionaires? It’s important for Congress to hear from you right now.

When asked if the United States should have a military parade to show off its might, President Eisenhower responded:

β€œAbsolutely not. We are the pre-eminent power on Earth. For us to try and imitate what the Soviets are doing in Red Square would make us look weak.”

He stood there on Jan 20 and falsely mouthed the words to protect and defend our Constitution.

Asked now on Meet the Press if he thinks he needs to uphold the Constitution, he says, β€œI don’t know.”

Translation: No.

Woe to America and the utter failure of putting this man back in our Oval Office.

Psst…those 1950s manufacturing jobs Trump loves so much?

They were good jobs because they were UNION jobs.

Oh...and taxes on corporations and the rich were much higher.

Trump’s agenda won’t bring back the β€œGolden Age.”

It’ll make the rich richer at everyone else's expense.

I started Democracy Docket in 2020 to be fearlessly independent and unapologetically pro-democracy. The threats have changed since then, but its commitment has not.

It will never bow down. It will never compromise. It will never will never obey.

Sign-up now to support.

AOC has a message for β€œBorder Czar” Tom Homan, after he issued yet another threat to prosecute her:

Obviously, Jeffrey Goldberg has the texts that Hegseth claims that he doesn’t have. The Senate or House Armed Services Chairs can easily and quickly verify who is lying about this. If Hegseth blatant lied about this on camera tonight, how in the world can he continue in this job?

The funny part of this is that Republicans in Congress have been pleading for someone in the WH to get Musk to stop talking about Social Security, then Nutlick steps up to make the best ad for Dems yet.
