They are threatening to kill anyone in their way to steal elections.

To Protect Gerrymanders, GOP Lawmakers Target Judges — and Voters Read more here.

"Republican legislators around the country have identified the biggest obstacles to their unprecedented mid-decade redistricting: the courts and the voters. So they’re responding by launching an all-out war on both." - Billy Corriher

also a functional public media system popular in most European countries is proven to result in healthier democracies

SCOTUS is destroying the Judiciary. Lower Court rulings time and again are being cast aside because the 6 GOP judges on SCOTUS are compromised.

I am taking the next few days off from writing to prepare for a Supreme Court argument. If you want to support Democracy Docket during my pause, here is there link. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

CNBC: My understanding is the White House said that China was gonna buy 12 million tons of soybeans from the US by January. That's approaching and they've only purchased 332,000. China has not confirmed that pledge.

BROOKE ROLLINS: Your point is salient. We've got a significant way to go

Awww

He’s always thinking about new ways to improve the lives of average Americans.

Can someone explain to me why it takes 30 days to release the Epstein files, when a few months ago they didn’t even exist?

Keep in mind that this serial liar also promised a hundred times during the campaign that he would be able to end the war “in 24 hours” with “one phone call” to Putin because he has “a great relationship” with him, “knows just what to say to him,” & “it won’t even be that hard.”

Worst SoS ever

Apparently, Little Marco Rubio only has a problem with tyrannical dictators if they are in the country his family is from. Otherwise, he's more than happy to help them. What a shallow, self-centered view of the world.

I’m very tired, but I’ll try and get back to the cliff top today.
Have a good one.

Blue states seem to be doing a pretty good job educating kids. Maybe look into that.

Marjorie Taylor Greene's resigning in time to get a pension is a lesson to everyone.

Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work.

Our "representatives" aren't working for us, they are [barely] working for themselves.

Donald Trump has had idiosyncratically and perhaps even unprecedentedly poor impulse control for LITERALLY SEVENTY YEARS and Tom Nichols is telling us about how suddenly Trump seems less than in total control of himself

I'd recommend not overanalyzing the bizarre Trump presser with Mamdani today. Trump was enraged about the Epstein Files, expressed that rage by threatening to k*ll members of Congress, realized he went too far and opted to play nice with a man he falsely calls a Communist to get a day of good press.

Nothing to see here. Just the White House needing to reassure the public that Piggy doesn't want to murder members of Congress. 😩

The DOJ investigating Dems in the Epstein files means they will refuse to release those files while an active investigation is taking place. Thus tRump’s flipping on the votes in Congress

BREAKING: The Senate just passed the Epstein bill by unanimous consent.

The bill will automatically pass once it's delivered to the Senate and will then advance to Trump's desk for him to sign — possibly as early as this evening.

Trump defends Mohammed bin Salman over the 2018 murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi:

"A lot of people didn't like that gentleman... Things happen... He knew nothing about it."

A US intelligence report concluded that bin Salman personally "approved an operation" to "kill or capture" Khashoggi.

Well there's another mistake

“You are our president. Please start acting like it. Show some class. Show some real leadership. Show that you actually care about the people other than yourself. I voted for you, but your behavior on this issue has been a national embarrassment.”

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

Massie: "There are a thousand survivors. They can't open enough investigations to cover up everything that's in these files."
