MT lawmakers are suing to make it easier to kill wolves. Yes- you read that right.

Once again, wolves are being treated as targets instead of the vital, intelligent keystone species they are. Science and ethics must guide management. Wolves deserve better.

When Democrats retake the House, one of the FIRST actions needs to be investigating every one of these mother f*ckers that have broken the law.

Kristi Noem confronts enemy combatants in the Portland war zone today.

This was also true the last time the GOP tried to force a shutdown.

I tried to tell people that Elno and DOGE were tools of Russell Vought and the Christian Nationalist movement behind Project 2025, but nobody wanted to hear it.

Almost everyone else seemed to prefer smearing Senator Chuck Schumer.

President Obama: “I’m asking you to chip in to the National Redistricting Action Fund.” Will you be one of the supporters who helps fuel the grassroots movement for fair maps?

Some highlights from this pod with Oregon AG Dan Rayfield: He tells me Dem AGs are preparing for the likelihood that Trump will expand efforts to federalize National Guards and deploy them in more cities.

Trump is trying to normalize troops in US cities, he says.

This should be seen as authoritarian: A refusal to allow the work of oversight to be done, masquerading as a debating club when she ought to be answering questions.

Durbin: "What has taken place since January 20, 2025, would make even President Nixon recoil. This is your legacy, AG Bondi."

Early voting is underway in Virginia.

83 HDs have a (D) & an (R) appearing on their ballots.

17 of the most overwhelmingly Dem Va. HDs only have a (D) appearing on their ballots, because no Va. (R)s filed to run in those HDs. If Va. Dems get massive turnout in these 17 HDs, this election is over.

Good morning everyone

Good morning California
Ballots are out !!

Vote YES on PROP 50

The special election is November 4th but early voting is underway NOW
Ballots mailed
Vote now and tell your neighbors and friends
Our Country thanks you!
VOTE YES ON PROP 50

Durbin to Bondi: "Although you've been a registered foreign agent for Qatar, you didn't recuse yourself from signing off on Trump's solicitation of a free jet from the royal family, even though this gift was clearly illegal. Connections to Bondi seem to yield more favorable outcomes for defendants."

This is encouraging. Californians understood the assignment. We got loud and spread the word on Prop 50. This is a fight against Republican anti-democratic tactics, but we still have to vote.

Get those ballots in, early voting has started. We’re going to pass Prop 50.

He has time and money to plan the
WH 🤮 UFC fight on June 14, 2026 for his 80th birthday...

But no time or money for healthcare for Americans!

I asked Oregon AG Dan Rayfield if he'd like to see national Democratic leaders stand up and denounce Trump's deepening lawlessness in a more comprehensive, unified, and forceful way. He basically says yes, we need something like this right now.

I asked AG Rayfield if Trump's endless bad faith/use of obvious pretexts is working against him. Rayfield says yes, and stands up for the importance of fact finding in lower courts.

He compares Trump to a child.

And Oregon AG Dan Rayfield warns:

"Anyone who’s seen the visual presence of what it’s like to live in an authoritarian country knows it’s a very different existence. That can never become a reality for us."

Stephen Miller is actively trying to acclimate us to this.

People should be watching this, seriously everyone should be watching this.

Chuck Grassley can't pronounce "emoluments" and then starts attacking Bill Clinton over his post-presidency speeches

This is the clear difference between the Democrats and Republicans. The Texas governor never bothered to ask Texans before signing off on the gerrymandering of their state, Democrat Gavin Newsom is putting it to Californians to decide. #DemVoice1 #DV1

Ex-special counsel John Durham undercut case against James Comey in interview with prosecutors: Sources John Durham, who investigated the Russia probe, told prosecutors probing James Comey that had been unable to uncover evidence supporting charges against him, sources say.

‘Breathtaking Abuse of Power’: Newsom Says Trump Is Sending California National Guard Troops to Portland Read more here.

🚨BREAKING: California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) said Sunday his state will sue after President Donald Trump sent 300 California National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon, according to Newsom. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Understand that the Reichstag Fire—the faked emergency Hitler used to seize power—is happening right now in America.

Trump and his goons are lying about crime and who they are arresting to provoke the violence they will justify martial law with.

It's the fascists' final maneuver to end democracy.
