🚨 BREAKING: Senate Republicans just blocked the release of the Epstein files—in a weekend session.

They don’t work weekends for your healthcare, but they’ll hustle to bury the names tied to a child sex trafficking ring.

What are they so desperate to hide?

Release. The. Files.

I am baffled by the Washington Post's sanitized framing of this story. The Supreme Court is clearly going to "rule on the law" -- that is what courts do! The news is that SCOTUS signaled that it might gut the VRA entirely.

Compare WaPo and Democracy Docket's headlines. Which source do you trust?

Kerr County did not use its most far-reaching alert system in deadly Texas floods Local officials used the system more than two days after the recorded height of the floods.

Exclusive: Kerr County, where nearly 100 people were killed and more than 160 remain missing, had the technology to turn every cellphone in the area into a blaring alarm, but officials did not do so before or during the river level rising to record heights.

Trump Thinks He Can Take Away Citizenship From Anyone He Doesn't Like Trump says he wants to take away Rosie O’Donnell’s American citizenship after threatening Zohran Mamdani.

The president pushing to change our very conception of citizenship—which nearly all Americans were taught and grew up with as a given—is an incredibly big deal. As @swin24.bsky.social writes, it's about way more than threatening one celebrity's citizenship over speech, including the attacks on 14A.

🚨 DON’T LOOK AWAY 🚨

U.S. Professor KIDNAPPED and DISAPPEARED by ICE!

He still remains detained.

Yesterday a California Faculty Association union leader, Professor Jonathan Caravello, was dragged away by four masked ICE agents while lawfully observing a raid.

This is NOT normal.

Ossoff: Did anyone really think the sexual predator president who used to party with Jeffrey Epstein was going to release the Epstein files?

Our reps are about to burn federal infrastructure to the ground, the president won't acknowledge the constitution, and DHS is gestapo 2.0, but instead of talking about that pundits are wasting airtime on the health of a man who will never be in office again all to sell books for another pundit.

Did staffing cuts at weather service affect Kentucky’s tornado response? Due to staffing shortages, the National Weather Service in Jackson no longer has overnight staff. But NWS and Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear say the office was staffed Friday night and early Saturday.

"Some National Weather Service offices, including Jackson, no longer have overnight staff from midnight to 7AM.

All three Kentucky offices - Jackson, Paducah and Louisville - are short-staffed.

There is no meteorologist in charge at any of the three offices..."

Noem Noem: Every Pro-Democracy Politician Needs to Hear This Rep. Delia Ramirez eviscerates the DHS Secretary and provides a model for how to talk about the Trump regime.

More of this please @ramirez.house.gov! Maybe it’s time to ask her if she should be arrested.

Opinion | We Study Fascism at Yale. We’re Leaving the U.S. The decision by these three Yale professors to move to Canada is both a warning and a call to action.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com

Three Yale professors who have written extensively on authoritarianism are leaving the U.S. “We’re like people on the Titanic saying our ship can’t sink,” Marci Shore said. “And what you know as a historian is that there is no such thing as a ship that can’t sink.”

Most of the House Dems have proven themselves to be abject disappointments, but especially these four: Jared Golden, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, Henry Cuellar, and Ed Case. I am ashamed that Ed Case is my representative! I will support anyone willing to primary him!
