Democracy Docket has a reporter in the courtroom covering the Texas redistricting hearing every single day. Meanwhile, the big legacy media is nowhere to be found.

At stake are 5 congressional seats. If this matters more than both sides journalism, become a DD subscriber today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

He's a precious human being with value beyond measure. Above reproach and of the highest ethical standards. An honor to have him in our government.

"lying foxes can cool off by skimming the water with their bellies and wings before heading back to the trees to lick off the droplets (or mid-air in this case). This fascinating behaviour helps them regulate body temperature and stay hydrated."

The fall of this country is happening at a dizzying pace. Every damn day it's another unbelievable, mind numbing horror show of inept, power hungry assholes tearing apart everything we believe in and everything we love.

No. It's a whole group of psychopaths that's running the country. To credit any of them individually for the whole scheme is to undermine our ability to beat them.

Ossoff: "We have a president who's completely out of control, a crook engaged in unprecedented corruption, who's passing one of the most unpopular agendas in history. The public is turning against him. The opposition is motivated. We can win & we have to win, but we don't have the luxury of despair"

If a government tells you that you canโ€™t call it authoritarian, itโ€™s authoritarian.

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

Antifa seems to be a broad strokes term to try to label whoever the regime doesnโ€™t like as a threat.

From what I understand itโ€™s not even a group. Itโ€™s a mindset.

And a pretty short-listed mindset, at that.
