I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files.
But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whateverβs in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

Very precarious moment. Important that protests in the targeted areas strictly avoid any circumstances that can be used for propaganda furthering the

Thatβs what they want. They will try to provoke. Do not give. Discipline.

Keep taking videos of what ICE is doing. @govpritzker.illinois.gov is right, document whatβs happening. This is why they hate journalists so much.

Sen. Schiff to NBC: "He's described me as the enemy within. He's described other Democratic elected officials as the enemy within. He is using the Justice Dept. to go after his political enemies, and he's using the Justice Dept. to protect his political friends β¦ This should concern every American."

No one is covering the GOP's scheme to rig congressional maps for 2026 as closely as Democracy Docket. It is providing gavel to gavel coverage of the ongoing hearing over whether the Texas gerrymander will be in place for the midterms.

AOC "I think 'Abolish ICE' is a call to action on several levels. One is the literal interpretation of abolishing ICE, which I support...I don't believe that an agency that systematically & repeatedly violates human rights, I don't think that agency can be reformed. I think it has to be abolished."

MAGA will embrace white supremacy, cruelty, racism, bigotry, misogyny and the rest...but even they need to eat and pay their bills.
