Chris Murphy: "I think it's likely the United States that carried out this attack on this school. I think it's unforgivable under any circumstances, but the fact this was one of our first targeting decisions speaks to the incompetence of our leadership at the Dept of Defense."

Even red states are defiantly rejecting DOJ’s demands for private voter data β€œElection officials across the political spectrum stood up to protect state sovereignty and voters’ security, regardless of partisanship,” voting rights advocate David Becker told Democracy Docket.

Earlier this week, Idaho became the latest state to push back against the U.S. Department of Justice’s campaign to seize the private voter data of every state. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/eve...

The Ellisons’ new Paramount/Warner Bros mega-media monopoly would never pass muster if America still had antitrust enforcers.

So who can stop this? State attorneys general. Here's how. ⬇️

One day we will realize that giving someone the benefit of the doubt just because he was a white man in a suit was a bad idea

Newsweek: Ted Lieu wants a special counsel to investigate Pam Bondi: β€œAG Bondi lied under oath. She said β€˜There's no evidence that Trump committed a crime’. DOJ posted 3 FBI interviews related to sexual assault allegations against Trump. That’s evidence.”

Legacy media is failing democracy. Rather than just complain, I did something about. Six years ago I started Democracy Docket from scratch. Now it has more than 400,000 subscribers. But to help protect democracy, it needs to grow and scale. Subscribing now. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

They are torturing and killing people in our concentration camps, and I wish more people were actively bothered by that

NBELIEVABLE: The tables just flipped!

Zelensky just revealed the Trump Administration has asked UKRAINE for help intercepting Iranian drones. Zelensky said yes - but only if it doesn’t hurt Ukraine’s fight against Russia.

Is JD Vance going to say thank you?

This is actually needed. Glad the U.S. knows it!

They really really need a smaller budget because what’s happening now is grotesquely wasteful socialism for the wealthy.

The same mechanisms they used on Jasmine Crockett for the primaries they will use on Talarico in the general and of course blame the same voters πŸ™„

Warning 🚨
Violence & brutality ⚠️

The violence we are seeing by LE is terrifying & a violation of our 1st Amendment rights!

There's just no reason for this kind of savagery against these peaceful protesters.

When you see this attack, ask yourself what if this were your loved one? 🧡
