Trump and Johnson could be protecting military paychecks. Democrats have a bill to do it. But their top priority is blocking the release of the Epstein files.

Hey -- folks:

If any of you are on TikTok, there's someone pretending to be me using "joannebfreeman" -- and supposedly, even asking for money.

IT'S NOT ME.

I've just reported them.
Please do the same.

Nothing says America First like bailing out Argentina while making healthcare unaffordable for 20+ million Americans.

Or signing an Article 5 protection treaty with Qatar coz they bribed you with a plane, while screwing over longstanding NATO allies.

Folks, I think America First might be a scam.

Folks: I am not on TikTok. Any account there is not me. And I will NEVER ask for money!

We should tell Trump that Obama went to school at the Electoral College, and he'll just dismantle it.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

The news of the week makes it sadly clear that the legacy media is fully capitulating. I started Democracy Docket in 2020 to be fearlessly independent and pro-democracy.

It will never bow down. It will never give in. It will never compromise

West Point alumni group cancels award ceremony for Tom Hanks The decision follows a series of political controversies involving the Trump administration that have rattled the prestigious military institution.

Yes, RFK Jr is a monster. A cruel, ignorant, pathologically dishonest, conspiratorial monster. And it’s not surprising RFK Jr is where he is now. A cruel, ignorant, pathologically dishonest, conspiratorial monster chose him, nominated him.

Vote in 2026 like your life depends upon it. Bcuz it does.

I hope you find my new book helpful for understanding the time we’re in, how we combat the bullies, and why I believe so passionately that we will succeed. Here's a bit more on why I wrote it.

Gavin Newsom passed the Montreal Cognitive Assessment today by reciting "Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV. Where. Are. The. Epstein. Files." and said doctors have never seen anything like it.

Television legend Stephen Colbert has just signed a $13.5 million deal with Netflix for a 7-episode series.

This notion that Republicans are coasting right now and the wind is beneath the sails of Donald Trump is just not true.

Joni Ernst is not going to run for reelection in Iowa. There was a special election in Iowa earlier this week and the Democrats have now broken the Republican super majority.

THANK YOU FOR WATCHING THE LYING LIARS & NEWS STINKERS OF FOX "NEWS" SO WE DON'T HAVE TO! IT IS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED BY THOSE OF US WHO VALUE HONESTY, INTEGRITY & DECENCY WHILE ALLOWING US TO CONSUME ACTUAL FACTS WITHOUT THEIR BRAINWASHING TECHNIQUES & ABILITY TO TRIGGER BOUTS OF VIOLENT NAUSEA. 🤮

What Gives Me Hope Read more here.

Hope is what we do when the odds are long and the options limited. It is the stubborn act of trying when despair feels easier. Rather than a passive optimism, hope is the commitment of those who believe they can make a difference, however small. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/what...

Chris Murphy slams Prospect Medical, private equity in hospitals Ahead of a bankruptcy auction to sell Prospect Medical Holdings' CT facilities, Murphy called for CT to ban private equity-owned hospitals.

“The state will be much better off if we just say private equity companies shouldn’t own our hospitals,” Murphy said.

What Gives Me Hope Read more here.

When people ask me what gives me hope, my answer is simple: you do. Every person who refuses to look away. Every lawyer who files a brief. Every protester who shows up. Every voter who refuses to surrender their rights. You give me hope—not because victory is certain but precisely because it is not.

@hcrichardson.bsky.social and @governor.ca.gov were live and so inspiring!! ✊🏼🙌👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
