Rest assured, I am a cranky, miserable bastard from the time I wake until I go to sleep. On good days I’m like that even while sleeping. And will someone get these damn kids off my lawn?!

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.

Turning the military on citizens.

Attempting to rig elections.

Toying with the idea of declaring martial law.

Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out.

If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

They still haven’t found all the missing children from the floods. Why are they more worried about Illinois than about the children in Texas?

The post includes a screenshot from CNN's "State of the Union" showing two individuals discussing, with a chyron indicating DHS officers fired at a driver who rammed their vehicle, later determined to be someone trying to storm the Presidential Palace, as the South Caucasus Coalition.

This is like planting evidence and then making an arrest.

It really is staggering to see so many people willing to abandon our 249 year experiment in democracy for an increasingly unstable criminally convicted reality show charlatan.

Gop supports slavery.

Congress and President receive taxpayer-funded paychecks in government shutdown while Federal employees, who are REQUIRED to work during shutdown, and furloughed workers during shutdown, don't get paid 👀 !! with NO guarantee they ever will.

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

$3.6bn and climbing. That's how much Trump has looted in nine months.

And now he is prepping for a war on his own people; largely comprised of peaceful protectors.

What happened to We the People lads? What's it gonna take for the military to remember their oaths?

This tinpot tyrant thinks he can act as judge and jury, handing out anticipatory prison sentences for people who might engage in clearly constitutional behavior (as ruled by the Supreme Court).

The inept Trump administration is too stupid to stop creating evidence that can be used to show the court that the indictment of James Comey was not because he was guilty of any crime, but so the vengeful Donald Trump could humiliate him and make him suffer.

The four ghosts in Pac-Man are all programmed to act differently: Red chases you, Pink tries to position itself in a set way, Blue tries to ambush you, Orange is random, and Epstein didn't kill himself.

Kristi Noem and ICE broke into a city building from Blackhawk choppers and zip tied children and stripped them terrified and screaming from their parents in the middle of the night. She is crying because she can’t use a bathroom. Trump voter ghouls, you help her, you fucks.
