Every reporter should say, “Are you talking about anti fascists?”

Civil Rights Lawyer Bryan Stevenson on How America’s Story Should Be Told

Cause the algorithms are increasingly shady and I don’t see much promotion, let me Gift Link this:

Mike Johnson said he would swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva "as soon as she wants." His office then backtracked — saying Johnson would only swear in the duly elected Grijalva once the government reopens. Grijalva won her special election more than two weeks ago.

I’m waiting to hear that Amelia Earhart really wasn’t flying her plane. Some white male was flying it for her. 🙄

Navarro: 'we are just in the most beautiful place we've been I think ever with respect to trade'

*In Q2 2024, China bought over $3 billion in soybeans from U.S. farmers. This year, they’ve bought $0.

Kash was begging for a Community Note

The idea was to make fun of Hegseth for firing black and female troops for failing to meet his comicbook “lethality” porn fantasy, and then rolling out a bunch of chunky white male normies who look about as lethal as a Build-a-Bear. NG troops — as individuals — did not ask for this.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

It’s not even a question! It’s a distraction. He’s murdering innocent people to distract from the Epstein files.

Let’s hope Republicans are tired of protecting a pedophile.

CARTOON OF THE DAY 😕🇺🇸

Canada stood by the US as our closest ally for over 100 years. All it took was one imbecile with power to damage that alliance. Canadians must do everything they can to prevent your country from becoming the dysfunctional disgrace that the US has become. Stay strong! 🇨🇦

I always do machine binding. I sew to the back, flip to the front, and use an open toe foot to sew a blanket stitch.

Nice article about an Alaskan quilter making quilts to support her family back in #Ukraine. She has a lovely, lyrical style to her work

The Case for the Forever Shutdown Senate Democrats actually allowing the GOP to stop funding the government is only the first step. Now they have to make the case that Trump’s government is illegitimate.

THE TRUMP GOVERNMENT IS ILLEGITIMATE
When the executive branch attacks its own citizens, launching chemical munitions at reporters & protesters, to zip-tie children and abduct them from their own homes and apartments is simple terrorism. #war #threats #tyranny #maga

My quote of the day

If you want to preserve democracy as we know it, you have to have a free and many times adversarial press. And without it, I am afraid that we would lose so much of our individual liberties over time. That's how dictators get started.

John McCain

“Here are the 10 states that will see the highest premium increases for families that lose tax credits if Republicans refuse to act.

West Virginia 387%
Wyoming 382%
Alaska 346%
Tennessee 320%
Mississippi 314%
Texas 289%
South Carolina 285%

Today marks yet another day that Speaker Mike Johnson has denied Adelita Grijalva her right to govern.

She won her special election on Sept 23rd but has yet to be sworn in.

Why? Because she will become the 218th vote needed to discharge the release of the Epstein files.

Say her name.

Pam Bondi was thumbing her nose at the constitution and shredding the principles of oversight

Even Chuck Grassley used to know why oversight is fundamental

We need consequences for her
Tell your senators

We probably paid for it.

We aren’t sending our best - anywhere.

The government shutdown disrupted flights at Hollywood Burbank Airport. Could it get worse? Hollywood Burbank Airport's air traffic control tower was temporarily unstaffed Monday and flights were delayed or canceled due to staffing shortages amid the government shutdown.

Hours with no air traffic controllers.

Staffing shortages.

Flight delays.

Health care costs going through the roof.

Every hour that Donald Trump and Republicans refuse to come to the table to negotiate, the American people get hurt.

I'm not a conservative commentator. No Billionaire is offering me $150 million. No TV network will make me its editor in chief.

I am just a lawyer who fights hard for democracy. I built Democracy Docket to keep you informed. For $10 a month, you can help it do its vital work. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0
