Today we once again witnessed CBS capitulate to Trump.

I created Democracy Docket to never back down or obey. It has no corporate backers, venture capitalists or private equity investors. It's only accountable to its members who support its 22-person team. Become one now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

How is this "Making America Great Again" for the average "Joe" AKA the American people?? Asking for a friend.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

The legacy media keeps getting this wrong. Trump didn't say "nationalize the election."

He said We should take over the VOTING in at least many—15 places.' The Republicans ought to nationalize the VOTING."

There is a big difference.

The heads of Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, and Tesla all joined Trump at his inauguration.

Since then, largely thanks to Trump's Big Ugly Bill, their companies have reaped $51B in federal tax breaks — paid for by huge cuts to our social safety net.

This is what oligarchy looks like.

Obama responds to Trump sharing racist AI video depicting him as an ape "There doesn't seem to be any shame about this among people who used to feel like you had to have some sort of decorum," Obama said in an interview that was posted on YouTube Saturday.

Homeland Security Hires Labor Dept. Aide Whose Posts Raised Alarms

Racism isn’t a bug in this Administration—it’s a feature. We can’t be silent about the fact that the people, the policy, and the harm the Trump Administration is doing is steeped in white supremacy.

Two cases and the grease that breaks democracy The obvious lesson many are drawing is that ordinary citizens are more reliable protectors of democracy than judges in black robes.

The problem for democracy is that it will not survive three more years of such a system. We cannot hold free and fair elections if judges blindly accept the word of Pam Bondi and Kash Patel’s minions. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/two-...

Broken bones, burning eyes: How Trump's DHS deploys 'less lethal' weapons on protesters Federal immigration officers have repeatedly used force in ways that appear to violate their own policies or general policing guidelines, NBC News found.

Democracy is when voters choose their leaders. Autocracy is when leaders choose their voters.

Narrator: Barbara Pilling was a young model in New York. She first saw Donald Trump at a party in the late 80s. She's never spoken publicly about it before.

Pilling: He said, how old are you? And I said, 17. He goes, oh, great. So you're not too old, not too young. That's just great.

N.Y.C. Officials Reinstate Pride Flag at Stonewall After Federal Removal Hundreds of people attended a rally on Thursday to re-raise the flag, setting up a defiant response to the Trump administration’s assault on diversity initiatives.

A group of New York elected officials gathered on Thursday to replace the Pride flag that was removed from the Stonewall National Monument after a directive from the Trump administration.

In a moment that calls for courage, we get this:

These monks' walk for peace captivated Americans. It ends this week A group of Buddhist monks walked from Fort Worth, Texas, to Washington, D.C., in the name of peace. The 108-day pilgrimage captivated Americans.

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

Trump is threatening to block construction of a publicly owned bridge connecting Detroit and Canada, despite supporting the project in his first term.

A billionaire who privately owns a competing bridge met with Howard Lutnick just days before Trump announced his opposition.

Funny how that works.

We still don’t know why Maxwell was moved to a nicer jail

U.K. Inquest Finds British Woman Was Killed ‘Unlawfully’ in Texas Shooting A British coroner ruled that a Texas man acted with gross negligence when he accidentally shot his 23-year-old daughter, who was visiting from Britain last year.

A British coroner’s court on Wednesday ruled that a 23-year-old woman who was shot to death by her father while on vacation in Texas last year was killed “unlawfully,” a finding that came after a Texas grand jury decided last year not to indict him.

Trump wanted Dulles Airport and Penn Station named after him as condition of releasing rail tunnel funds

Epstein: “the girls and i are going to see elon musk at space x tomorrow, are you around,”

Phang: Donald Trump would suck at playing poker, wouldn’t he? Because it’s so obvious. All you have to do is ask him about the Epstein files and he loses his shit.

Corporate profits have hit record highs.

CEOs are paid 280x as much as a typical worker.

We're subsidizing huge corporations that pay lousy wages through food stamps and Medicaid.

But instead of cracking down on corporate greed, Republicans want to punish the working poor.

Amazon dropped $75M on the Melania doc — with a big chunk going into the Trumps' pockets.

Since then, Amazon Web Services got a $580M Pentagon contract.

And this week, Pete Hegseth visited Blue Origin facilities as the DoD overhauls how it hands out defense contracts.

Always follow the money.
