The BBC joins a long list of media companies now obeying in advance. I can't say I'm surprised or at this point even angry. It is a structural flaw in legacy media

All I can do is promise that Democracy Docket will never bow down or bend a knee. It will remain unapologetically pro-democracy.

The only Republican speaking with clarity on this issue. Sad that he’s the only one.

Transcripts of a 2019 phone call between President Trump and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman would "shock" Americans. @repvindman.bsky.social is urging Congress to declassify this "highly disturbing" conversation. He joins me at 11 a.m. EST to explain why. #Velshi

All this shows is that the US has no idea what it’s doing and it’s being played by Moscow. Complete humiliation.

A video from inside a Border Patrol vehicle shows agents chasing a US citizen for filming them. The citizen refused to get out when they illegally ordered him to stop. The agents say: "This is great." "This is fun." "He's going to get shot."

also we now have a “whites only” refugee policy. they aren’t trying to hide the white supremacy anymore. it’s overt and mainstream.

This is an accidentally honest answer. What she's saying in code is:
"The President is a misogynist, petulant bully. You've all seen him be a misogynist, petulant bully. And lots of voters out there are also misogynist or petulant or bullies and that's why they like him."

Piggy has signed off on the release of the Epstein files.

There is a loophole in the law that lets the DOJ withhold anything they deem is part of an active investigation.

It’s precisely what Piggy is counting on.

My takeaway from Epstein document dump was that Jeffrey Epstein in 2018/early 2019 was increasingly telling people he had dirt on Trump and Trump knew everything about child sex ring. To protect Trump's re-election campaign, Trump's DOJ charged Epstein in July 2019. Then Epstein committed "suicide."

In 2019, Trump claimed he hadn’t spoken to Jeffrey Epstein in “15 years.”

In 2017, Jeffrey Epstein was telling friends he was spending Thanksgiving with Trump — then in his first year as President.

Jeffrey Epstein claimed he gave Russians insight into Trump Newly released emails show the late convicted sex offender’s extensive network of foreign contacts, whom he corresponded with about Trump’s policy decisions.

All of the times I’ve wondered what Putin had on Trump, and now we find out Jeffrey Epstein was talking to Putin’s ambassador about Trump.

Why isn't this getting more attention? Why is no one asking him: if that's the case, where has all that money gone?

The first and last lines of Joni Ernst’s legacy as a human on earth will be that she was instrumental in the confirmation of the Sec of Defense most hostile to women serving in military, and she knew that when she voted for him.

BERNIE: “This senate is about to make a horrific situation even worse… health insurance premiums will double/triple/quadruple… some will pay 50% of their income… 15 million will lose insurance… 50,000 will die unnecessarily…”

Hold them accountable? How do you plan on doing that? What has this administration done that would make you think you can trust anything? You are NOT helping us. We will die while we wait for Republicans to develop their "concepts of a plan".

How can you vote to open the government with no guarantee of advancement in the House? You would do well to remember that you work for the people, and the people deserve better than this.

I'm right there with you. I had been on the fence for some time, but it's crystal clear that is the only way forward. Out with the "old".

It isn't too late. Reach out to your Senators and tell them why it's important to continue to stand up to this regime.

In the most predictable development ever, Mike Johnson is not committing to hold a House vote on ACA subsidies

You CANNOT cave on health insurance! There is no Republican plan. What have they done to show you that you can even trust they'll vote on it? If you cave, you are just as complicit in the deaths of Americans who cannot afford medical care.

They never say this “liquid” bullshit when it comes to tax cuts for the rich or wars or giving money to their friends (in Argentina) etc

See through it

No, he doesn’t care.

As Democrats offer to reopen the govt in exchange for keeping health insurance subsidies the same for one year, Trump orders his puppets in Congress to reject the deal as he flies back to Palm Beach for another weekend of golf and parties at his country club.

Texas… it’s not just Grijalva….

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106.

12 days of work in 106 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

After those results, the Democratic response to GOP pressure to cave on the shutdown should simply be

The Mississippi state legislature begs to differ. 😏
