Dear Humans,

What are you doing these days to keep from going insane?

On this Veterans Day Iโ€™m thinking of my father, and how much I enjoyed hearing his stories as we toured military monuments when he visited me in DC. A proud Marine until the day he died. Semper Fi, Dad.

Lovely memories. Reminds me of my own father who was also a proud Marine. Semper Fi.

Thou shalt replace Chuck Schumer with Chris Van Hollen, who personally went to El Salvador to find Kilmar. Thatโ€™s the kind of courage we need right now.

Like / share if you agree.

Shaheen: "We've heard from a number of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle that they're willing to come to the table, they're willing to work with us once the govt is open to get this done. We've heard the same thing from the White House. So now we'll see if they're really gonna work w/us"

When are they going to learn that the Republican side ALWAYS lies to get what they want.

Itโ€™s been 45 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona.

Mike Johnson is still refusing to swear her in because sheโ€™s the final vote for the discharge petition to release the Epstein files.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. Itโ€™s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. Weโ€™ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

In all the chaos, I would urge folks to remember that a lot of folks now donโ€™t know when their next check will come.

The vast majority are good people who love this nation deeply, and many of them are still working despite not knowing when theyโ€™ll be paid

Have compassion.

Giving a bully your lunch money is only a temporary downpayment for future bullying.

We ALL need to step up for the first amendment.

By-the-way, for the record, this ex-Disney employee finds Jimmy Kimmel very talented and funny.

Wow.

Not at all surprising, but wow.

Blatant corruption is perfectly fine (encouraged, even) in this administration.

Tonight's news makes clear that the legacy media is fully capitulating. I started Democracy Docket in 2020 to be fearlessly independent and pro-democracy.

It will never bow down. It will never give in. It will never compromise

No one is covering the threats to our democracy like the 20-person team at Democracy Docket. No venture capital, no corporate overloads, no compromises. Just pro-democracy news, information and analysis.

I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.

2. Vote for whichever dem wins the primary in the general
