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 whatever’s 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
jackboots’ aims.

That’s 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 what’s happening. This is why they hate journalists so much.

Abolishing the Department of Education has to be one of the dumbest ideas of my lifetime.

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 … 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.

Is this what you voted for?

Donald Trump and Kristi Noem are using every lever to provoke our communities and incite chaos.

If Trump and Noem wanted to help Illinoisans, they would work with us β€” not against us β€” to protect public safety.

I’ve lived in GOP-dominated states my entire life, and I can tell you one thing about Republican lawmakers: they don’t care about us.

people like greta thunberg feel as close to modern-day saints as i can think. just someone absolutely committed to the cause of human justice. i feel totally inadequate when faced with that moral clarity

Truth. I've been uninsurable since my mid-20s because of a chronic illness that is no fault of my own.

Jared Kushner is going to the Middle East to negotiate a deal on behalf of the U.S. government days after Kushner announced a $55 billion deal between his private equity fund and the Saudi government

One of the most brazen conflicts in history.

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.

Trump is screwing the economy and we're about to be in the shitter.

Maybe they can sustain themselves on hate but...for how long?

Oklahoma's GOP Governor struggles to defend state schools chief after resignation:

β€œWell, first off, you know, there’s 30,000 state employees, and so you don’t always get it right on picking people. But it doesn’t mean we don’t move forward and try our very, very best..."

Every newspaper in the country should be blanketing Portland with reporters and videographers to document that it is not a war zone. And every front page should be blaring about the president lying as a pretext to send troops to an American city.

If ICE agents are proud of what they're doing, then why do they cover their faces like cowards, refuse to identify themselves, and hide behind anonymity?
