Can we circle back to the part where the NY Times never disclosed that they have incriminating information on Donald Trump from sent by Epstein that's been sitting on their email servers for nearly a decade?

The Wildest Democratic Wins You May Not Have Heard About Elections for school boards and public service commissions aren’t as sexy as a governor’s race, but they matter β€” and Democrats swept them everywhere.

Democrats chalked up massive wins on Tuesday night in governor's races, with the CA ballot initiative, in the NYC mayor's race -- but some of their most astounding victories played out down lower on ballots www.huffpost.com/entry/democr...

There should be a foundation willing to fund a small program that Fallows (or a similar luminary) would run as the NYT Unofficial Public Editor website for the next year at least.

I'll tag some of them here @fordfoundation.org @rockefellerfdn.bsky.social @knightfoundation.org

Still eating a Snickers. Also the NBA is culpable for turning sports into an addiction economy. This was all inevitable. Even the mafia cards games, which if you read the indictment, are connected to alleged game betting. The sharks are attacking the minnows at the behest of the whales.

Columbus bragged in letters about raping 9-year-old girls & selling them into slavery.

So of course, Trump is using him to replace Indigenous Peoples' Day,
calling Columbus the "first American hero."

Maybe he can rename it, Trump-Epstein-Columbus Day. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

Donald Trump is breaching the Constitution and breaking the law.

A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections.

We need to stand up together and speak up.

Got a Minute or Two?: The Attack in Chicago The night-time raid on a Chicago apartment building and its residents is an ugly escalation by an immoral regimeβ€”and an attack on all decent people

"What kind of monsters grab children & take them outside without clothes? Who does that? What kind of govt permits its agents to abuse American citizens & non-citizens w/o the slightest concern for their rights, their well-being, indeed their basic humanity?"

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell

JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too

D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals?

J: I didn't see it

D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

Now they tell us - I’ll remember this when Trump is making Joe Kahn pose with the paper just to laugh at him.

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka.

I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws.

Federal agent: β€œWe are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

I'm struggling to contain my anger over the government's handling of the ICE shooting in Dallas - specifically, the refusal to publicly identify three human beings who were killed or seriously wounded

These monsters do everything possible to dehumanize refugees. We can't let them get away with it

'Be very careful': Some in the GOP balk at kicking Kimmel off TV Republicans are splitting on FCC Chair Brendan Carr’s pressure tactics. "We all should be very cautious" about regulating speech, one GOP senator told POLITICO.

The First Amendment is the bedrock of our democracy β€” and protecting it isn't a partisan issue.

The fight for free speech should be one that everybody can get behind.

The disgraceful behavior of legacy media has made supporting independent, pro-democracy media more important than ever. I founded Democracy Docket in the crucible of 2020 to be just that.
