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.

I Asked ChatGPT What Would Happen If Billionaires Paid Taxes at the Lower-Middle-Class Rate โ€” Hereโ€™s What It Said - NewsBreak ChatGPT's answers revealed just how different our world could look if the richest Americans contributed at the same level as the lower-middle class.

Our dysfunction is letting rich pay lower tax rates than the middle class. MAGA, Dems fight over table scraps... billionaires consolidate wealth.

There would be no division if we paid attention to how we are all being suckered to pay for the welfare billionaire class.

When fighting fascism all forms of resistance matter. Large protests are vital. Individual protests are vital. Mock. Boycott. Write/call your reps. Daily. Show up at town halls. Do what you can, when you can, where you can. Iโ€™m 68 and a product of the 60s. Never quit. Never let up. SOLIDARITY โœŠ๐Ÿผ

Also 68.

Like the idea flying to Portland to confront Brown Shirt police.

Yeah, Iโ€™ll go to jail.

Weโ€™re watching the end 250 years democracy real time.

When a flaming fascist president sidelines congress and judiciary, designates all against fascism โ€œterrorists,โ€ time to ACT.

Iโ€™m 82, and I couldnโ€™t agree more. My father served during WW2 and my husband during Vietnam. They would be horrified to see Americans supporting fascist pedophiles like they are saviors.

This shit is dystopian. Blackhawk helicopters, zip-tied kids, and racial segregation vans.

ICE is terrorizing communities.

Abughazaleh: I think Kristi Noem should be tried at The Hague. And if the response from ICE to people exercising their first amendment right is to drive vehicles through them, they should not be an agency in the US.

Kristi Noem Says Only 'Law-Abiding Americans' Should Go To Super Bowl The homeland security secretary's warning came as she vowed ICE would be "all over" the massive NFL event.

Yeah, immigrants who came here for work are gonna buy superbowl tickets. You are just trying to make the superbowl into some kind of creepy fascist MAGA event. You are sick people.

U.S. companies shed 32,000 jobs in September in latest sign of labor market weakness ADP may be the only jobs data reported this week. The government shutdown means that the Bureau of Labor Statistics is closed and unable to publish the official government jobs report.

Trump is happy to have a government shutdown. He can avoid releasing data showing his crappy economy. We are losing jobs, grocery prices going up, farmers are going bankrupt. And now healthcare costs are gonna explode. Good news though billionaires will do great!

Pete Hegsethโ€™s Fox News โ€˜Friendโ€™ Pans Military Speech With North Korea Comparison Harold Ford Jr. said he wasn't convinced about one thing regarding the Trump defense secretary's address.

Damn, its like Trump and Hegseth watched Kurt Russell's Soldier and rooted for the military machine attacking the civilians. They are amoral, have zero empathy and are proud of it.

Can you imagine having made a lifetime commitment to the military, a general or admiral, a leader who worked for respect only to be called to heel by a drunken idiot who tried to claim stolen valor to burnish nearly non-existent credentials and told what your "ethos" should be as you attack the US?

You can't cosplay being the Secretary of DoD . It's a very serious job, & the stuff you are briefed on daily is enough to make sure you never sleep again. An alcoholic, violent man isn't qualified.

Tonight on a NY1 interview, Andrew Cuomo described Zohran Mamdani as "an existential threat" to New Yorkers and the Democratic Party. I can't say strongly enough that this is despicable, dangerous, irresponsible language. I've never held Cuomo in high esteem; let this election be his banishment.

More pointedly, the pope said, "Someone who says, I'm against abortion, but is in favor of the death penalty is not really pro-life. Someone who says, I'm against abortion but I'm in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States, I don't know if that's pro-life."

What a line from the Pope! I am so pleased he is carrying on Pope Francisโ€™ advocacy for immigrants.
