House Oversight's Robert Garcia: "We are now asking and demanding that President Trump officially come in and testify in front of the Oversight Committee. He appears in the Epstein files β€” next to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell β€” almost more than anybody else."

David Ellison will soon control CNN. In response, I wrote to Democracy Docket subscribers today about the importance and urgency of building a strong independent media ecosystem.

Whether it is Democracy Docket or another independent news outlet, please support one today. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Your Cherokee words for today.
The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically. "ahkeestee ooh-way-nah-hee"

Everything the Ellison family could own if Paramount buys Warner Bros:

Paramount+
CBS
CNN
Showtime
HBO
Warner Bros
TNT
TBS
MTV
DC Studios
Nickelodeon
Comedy Central
Cartoon Network
And more...

This is a rotten deal that the Trump regime has rubber stamped.

State AGs must step in and block it.

Senator calls for DEA to provide info on "incredibly disturbing" Epstein drug investigation Federal drug enforcement investigators targeted Jeffrey Epstein and 14 others in a yearslong probe first reported by CBS News.

This is a big one. A newly uncovered document has revealed the existence of a mystery Epstein investigation. It was spearheaded by the DEA and involved drug trafficking and money laundering. Epstein was one of 15 targets. The other 14 names are redacted. I've got questions.

I want to know what happened between the first offer Warner turned down and now, cuz this feels like someone made them an offer they couldn’t refuse.

Politics should serve the people at every step, not just after Election Day.

That’s why our campaign office has been a mutual aid hub from day one. There’s no reason to wait until we win to make an impact. We’re showing up for our community now.

New BOMBSHELL Reporting REVEALS Epstein’s DEEP DOJ TIES
YouTube video by Katie Phang New BOMBSHELL Reporting REVEALS Epstein’s DEEP DOJ TIES

New reporting from the Miami Herald on how Epstein used his power, money, & influence to β€œinfiltrate the justice system.”

I do a deep dive into this incredible article, including eyebrow-raising relationships between the prosecutors and Epstein’s criminal defense team.

The Handbasket 100% independent journalism by Marisa Kabas

Now that CNN and WBD are set to become state media in a sale to Paramount/Oracle/TikTok, it is especially important to support independent media.

Off the top of my head:

Add your favorites in the replies. Fuck state-backed media monopolies.

Here’s a thought for James Comer.

There IS a First Lady who has had a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. And it’s not Hillary Clinton.

It might be worthwhile for Comer to subpoena the First Lady who actually knows Epstein.

You know, just to see what she knows.

My team and I have been anticipating this for months. It is unconstitutional and illegal.

The media should note: Last time he issued an EO about voting, we sued and won. If Trump issues such an order we will sue again and we will win again.

Colbert made a point about something that probably bothered a lot of people, me included. In his SOTU, Trump said β€œvoting is a privilege.” A privilege is something to be earned, and some people can be denied that privilege. No. Voting is a right!
