Football players will pay no taxes in Mississippi on their licensing deals, which can sometimes be very lucrative in the millions. Teachers, cops, firefighters, construction workers - they still have to pay taxes on their income.

A lawless country.

Call Congress NOW! All this is done in our name, on our dime, by our family & community members--making them war criminals.

Congress must end this NOW!

THE CONSTITUTION IS NOT A SUGGESTION!

DOJ's recent 6th Circuit filing misspelled:

Voters as “Votors”
Emergency as "Emeregency"
United States as "United Staes"

And, it included a non-party in the caption.

These are the people who want access to your sensitive voting records and who my team fights in court every day.

Be sure to register to vote if you haven’t. NPR has the information you need.

If you are registered, check to make sure you’re still active & not purged. Check periodically. Your state’s Secretary of State (SoS) may have a portal for this.

BOMBSHELL: Bill Clinton’s testimony just destroyed Trump’s public story about Jeffrey Epstein. It wasn't about morals—it was about a land deal.

The truth Trump tried to bury:

Trump is now citing “Iranian election interference” as a reason for war at the same time his allies are circulating a draft emergency order to seize federal control of U.S. elections “because of foreign meddling.” Is this a pretext to grab power before 2026?

It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.

From immediate oversight, to forcing a vote on a War Powers Resolution, to restricting or cutting off funding for unauthorized hostilities, our Members of Congress must use every lever in their toolbox to put an immediate stop to this war.

Make sure your elected officials hear from you.

You’ve shared posts.
You’ve shown up.
You’ve asked, “How can I help?”

This is how.

No Kings 3 is coming — and if we want to hit the scale and impact this moment demands, we need organizers at every level.

X Is Drowning in Disinformation Following US and Israel’s Attack on Iran WIRED has reviewed hundreds of posts on X that promote misleading claims about the locations and scale of the attack.

“Almost all of the most viral posts reviewed by WIRED on Saturday came from accounts with blue check marks, meaning they…could be eligible to earn money based on how much engagement their posts generate, even if the content is false.”

This is one hell of an ugly thing. New rendering shows how Trump’s ballroom will dwarf the White House.

The Katie Johnson story has been around for quite some time. Her family was threatened with death if they moved forward with charges. There was a suit in 2016 but she pulled back after serious threats. Can’t believe journalists are forgetting this. More media malpractice in service of Trump

Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

People are asking what else they can do.

My advice is to drop your subscriptions to Paramount and Warner Brothers services and use that money to support as many independent media outlets as you can afford. Pick a couple and give them a try. It's critical we build a pro-democracy media ecosystem.

Democracy Docket currently has 22 employees. It is looking to hire another 10. My goal is to scale it as fast as we can to meet the growing need for pro-democracy media. But, since it has no private investors, that all depends on attracting new subscribers. bit.ly/4qmEiFz
