So many senior appointees in the Trump admin got positions they were utterly unqualified and unprepared for because of their social media presence or Fox appearances. MAGA cheers it on. Then it constantly comes back to bite them when they screw things up - like the Texas gerrymander.

You know who was a registered dem when most of this took place? Dump.

Utah Judge Strikes Down GOP Gerrymander, Restores Voter-Approved Fair Map Read more here.

BREAKING: In a sweeping victory for voters, a Utah judge struck down the GOP’s latest gerrymander ruling that lawmakers violated the state constitution. This restores a voter-approved ban on partisan gerrymandering and enacts a fairer map for 2026.

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult.

A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates.

When will party leadership learn this lesson?

I am honestly pissed at what Washington has become. The Republican Party’s sold out working families to billionaires & special interests. D.C. Democrats are out of touch & unwilling to confront the scale of the suffering people are enduring.

Most states call that brandishing, I think.

Just shameful.

It’s so funny that for the past week republicans have all been like “the only people out there are gonna be Hamas.” Everyone in this crowd is signed up for Kohl’s rewards points.

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring.

Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

In a Federal Courtroom in Texas, Republicans Were Desperate to Keep Details of their Gerrymander Under Wraps Read about the fight for democracy from activists, elected officials, legal experts and others.

If you read only one democracy story today, make it this one. While legacy media largely skipped the Texas redistricting hearing, Democracy Docket's Jen Rice was there for all 10 days. Her coverage stands out and sheds insight into how the GOP operates -- not only in TX -- but nationally.

My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

A Word About the Most Important Voting Bloc in America Meet the self-interested majority (who know "a man is not a piece of fruit")

The fact that a vast majority of Americans agree on a wide array of issues and yet our political leaders advance none of them illustrates just how broken our system is. Power has shifted from the majority to a monied-few. How do we win it back? I have some thoughts. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

No, but dad of a pro daughter. All the feels.

And then his dad heart exploded with pride.

Even if you support massive deportation operations, under no circumstances should ANYONE be ok with US citizens being forcibly removed from their homes and detained without explanation.

This is a clear violation of their constitutional rights and should universally condemned.

Dear @apnews.com

The republicans control congress. Democrats did not vote down anything. If the GOP wanted to fund the government, they could have changed the rules to pass a CR with a simple majority like they did 11 days ago to approve 48 trump appointees at once.
