In ominous sign, Texas Republicans changed voting rules, then blocked efforts to protect voters “We can’t let a small group of conspiracy theorists set the rules for Texas voters anymore."

Texans in two counties struggled to find their polling locations for primary voting Tuesday after a GOP-driven change. The secretary of state’s office failed to provide accurate information. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Friends! Look what has come up! It’s our Magic Hyacinth! Mum says it is magic because she didn’t plant it, but it comes up on our doorstep every year, bigger and stronger than the year before. And it smells heavenly! #SpringWatch

Oh the sweet smells of Spring, Malcy! 🌷🌼🌿🥰

Friends! I think Baby Dog has some sort of Spring Fever! He’s giving Hamish and Banana-Arnold a hard time, and the Sofa Cushions are also suffering. He has his Groom in a couple of days and it can’t come soon enough. I’m hoping it will calm him down!

Baby Dog just loves to play! 😅🥰

Today we recognize you @realdonaldtrump on #WorldObesityDay. Representation matters ❤️

Bessent Says Global Tariffs Will Rise to 15 Percent This Week

THIS ON TOP OF A WAR THAT IS GOING TO INCREASE PRICES AT THE GAS PUMPS, etc…

YouTube video by The Lincoln Project The Cover-up

Trump's DOJ deleted 65,527 pages from the Epstein files, covering up the truth. Info on Epstein’s death, call logs, photos with Lutnick - all gone. And Trump thinks MAGA will stand by and cheer on another needless war.

Who got us into "a situation like this?"

Iran War Cost Tracker -- Live Estimate of U.S. Taxpayer Spending Track the cost of the Iran war in real time. Live estimate of U.S. taxpayer spending on Operation Epic Fury -- updated every second.

Trump started a war to coverup his past and you're paying for it. https://iran-cost-ticker.com/

Knives Out for the ICE Queen Senate Republicans might be ready to dump the DHS secretary.

"The reforms they’re seeking—badges and body cameras, that they lose their masks, that they be investigated for misconduct—are utterly reasonable...Americans don’t like what DHS has been up to. Democrats should aim a lot higher than just getting a scalp from Noem." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Hegseth today: We don't actually have any clear purpose or guideposts or objectives in mind, the metrics are shifting...but "we are just getting started."

Yikes.

With Trump randomly tossing out different and competing war aims; Rubio saying Israel caused the attack; Hegseth insisting we're totally achieving our clear goals--but we need more forces and metrics are shifting; and Vance heading for the tall grass...very bad to have these guys in charge of a war!

Old Hegseth: We aren’t fighting one of those open-ended wars without clear limits, goals, and objectives.

New Hegseth: “Metrics are shifting, dust is settling, and more forces are arriving.”

In other words: Never mind.

Hegseth: “More forces are arriving” in an expanding and “accelerating” war.

Shouldn’t Congress have a say?

Trump administration: Just shut up and appropriate more money.

TONIGHT at 7 p.m. ET, I will be going live to reflect on Democracy Docket’s mission and impact over the past six years — and lay out what comes next during this election year.

YouTube video by Conversations with Bill Kristol Doug Sosnick on AI as an animating force in American politics

Doug Sosnik: "One of the things I’ve been shocked at about AI is how much the politics have changed in the last six months. It’s almost like a freight train...I think this is going to be an exploding issue because the technology is only going to be more invasive..."

Loose Talk of ‘Fake News’ Is Bad for Democracy The secretary of defense shouldn’t pit the military against the media.

"When American troops deploy, they do so under civilian authority and in the name of the American people. Citizens have both a right and a responsibility to understand what their government and their military are doing."

Trump's Unauthorized Strikes on Iran Take America's Imperial Presidency to New Heights Khamenei's departure is nothing to mourn but regime change might require more than air strikes

“In no part of the constitution is more wisdom to be found than in the clause which confides the question of war or peace to the legislature, and not to the executive...[T]he trust and the temptation would be too great for any one man."
