Day One

A 10 day hearing began today in Texas to determine if the GOP's new rigged map will remain in place or be struck down for 2026. The best way to stay informed on what is happening is to subscribe to Democracy Docket, the media outlet I started in 2020, for times like these. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

Elizabeth Warren: "The president said 'I am going to impose a lot more pain on my fellow American citizens. I'm going to impose a lot more pain on people in NY who need to use those tunnels so I can get my way politically.' To me, that is a place to stop & say, then we're ready to fight about this"

Barbra Streisand is joining Jane Fonda and 600+ entertainment figures in re-launching the Committee for the First Amendment. Fonda announced the revival of the organization, initially founded by her father, Henry Fonda. The organization was founded in the 1940s to defend free speech against fascism.

A thousand times yes

We've had fuckups in the White House before, but never a president who seemed so deliberately intent on being a fuckup.

It's been said before, but if these people were actual agents of an enemy power seeking to divide, dismantle and destroy the USA they wouldn't be doing anything different.

How it started.... How it's going ....

"If we lose hope, we're doomed."

We must continue Dr. Jane Goodall's mission and all fight for the future of the planet.

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

Government agencies are blaming the shutdown on Democrats. Ethics experts say it could be against the law. Handfuls of agencies posted statements to their websites Wednesday, alerting Americans that the government has officially shut down and that the "radical left” is responsible.

When you start connecting the dots, you'll see
they form a razor straight line right back to Moscow.

There might be a nearby oligarch getting some spin off but the core of GOP policies are obvious:

The destruction of America from within.

Text meme: "Who among us hasn't taken the occasional shopping bag full of fifty-grand in cash from an undercover agent for completely legit reasons? #HomanResign"

The DOJ indicts Comey without substantial evidence.

The DOJ refuses to indict Homan, caught on video taking a bribe.

Trump's DOJ is CORRUPT, indicting critics first and investigating later while ignoring obvious crimes by their own administration. Bondi betrayed America and her oath.

Orange Shirt Day is a time to reflect on Canada's continuing violence against Indigenous children.

It is a time to remember that Canada still takes Indigenous children from their families.

It is time to demand that these crimes stop. Not 150 years from now. Not a decade from now. NOW.

A Trump Administration Playbook: No Data, No Problem

By erasing data, Trump shields himself from accountability and blinds the public to escalating threats, from climate change to gun violence. Destroying evidence undermines science, weakens policy, and leaves Americans defenseless against crises.
