It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

Jeffries: "The Trump administration and Mike Johnson are running a pedophile protection program. That's what they've been doing. And that's the reason they refuse to swear in Representative Elect Adelita Grijalva."

House Speaker Mike Johnson signed bill cutting $186B from SNAP in July 2025 Users shared this true claim amid uncertainty regarding whether Americans would receive federal food benefits during the 2025 government shutdown.

Don’t take it from me, listen to Snopes! Speaker Johnson signed a bill to cut $186 billion from SNAP. And again, it’s HIS party that won’t help millions of Americans put food on the table this month.

JUST IN: 11th Circuit politely tells Judge Aileen Cannon to get moving on motions seeking to unseal remainder of Special Counsel Jack Smith's final report. Basically, gives her 60 days to act or appeals court will take further action. Doc: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

"Factchecking Trump on '60 Minutes'"

In today's 'First Draft' morning newsletter from Zeteo, I counted and debunked at least *17 obvious, brazen lies* that the president told CBS's Norah O'Donnell, and that she just let slide:

This is an amazing clip. Trump basically says that he doesn't care what crimes CZ committed, because what matters is that he gave Trump a bribe

Wait - edited AND it aired two days before an election too??? I hear there’s a precedent for a substantial lawsuit under those conditions!!! Do it, Kamala!

But here’s the most uncomfortable truth of all: the parasites that have taken over so much of our country—pantsuited girlboss advertising executives, Skittle-haired they/them activists, soy-faced pajama-clad work-from-home HR apparatchiks, Adderall-addicted dog mom diversity consultants, nasally voiced Ivy League regulatory lawyers, obese George Soros–funded police abolitionist district attorneys, hipster trust fund socialists—are some of the least impressive people in the history of the world. The Uniparty would never have achieved what it has in this country without a great degree of rottenness, of decadence, of torpor, of complacency already

it's utterly wild how the Heritage Foundation president talks about other people

if you found a guy talking like this outside, you'd probably call the cops

The cruelty is the point.

This weekend I am reminding those who can afford it that Democracy Docket is member supported. There are no venture capitalists, no billionaire backers, no corporate overlords. If you value independent, pro-democracy media, help support its work by signing-up today. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

I believe Pete Hegseth might be trafficking illicit drugs, and if he happens to be on any boat, our military should consider taking it out

The President of the United States is so upset about his failed campaign for a Nobel Prize that he's now trying to claim someone else's prize as his own.

Pathetic.

With respect to both women (truly), this could be a still from a glamorous and very well-dressed “Elaine” dance.

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.

Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.

Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

Yesterday, Texas filed a lawsuit against Tylenol’s parent company, alleging that it failed to alert consumers.

Today, Kennedy clarified that “the causative association between Tylenol given in pregnancy and perinatal periods is not sufficient to say it definitely causes autism." trib.al/nBdhHvW

"Hardened TdA gang members are back in Venezuela," you say.

The same Venezuela who you say is using TdA to invade the United States and destroy us? Who is a state supporter of TdA sufficient to warrant invocation of the Alien Enemies Act?

That Venezuela?

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress nearly a month ago with 70% of the vote yet Mike Johnson refuses to swear in. This is a continuation of the Jan 6 attack that was designed to overturn an election.
