Grassroots movements didn’t just inspire Nancy Pelosi—they fueled her. She never forgot that change starts in neighborhoods, not Capitol Hill. Her power came from listening to people, amplifying their stories, and turning their demands into law. #ThankYouNancy

Official VA emails advising veterans and federal employees to blame the "Radical Left" for the shutdown instead of Trump are facing criticism for using government channels for partisan propaganda, which violates the Hatch Act.

The Memphis Police Department reports historic crime reductions, with decreases across all major categories in the first eight months of 2025 compared to the same period in previous years. Overall crime is at a 25-year low, with robbery, burglary, and larceny also reaching 25-year lows. Murder is at a six-year low, aggravated assault at a five-year low, and sexual assault at a twenty-year low.

Graphs for overall crime, murder, and agg assault, all showing declines.

Graphs of sex assault, robbery, burglary: all showing declines.

Graphs of larceny and auto theft, all showing declines. (Auto theft after a monumental spike in 2023).

As Trump gets ready to send more National Guard into a Democratic city, it's useful to see what the Memphis Police have to say about 9-month YTD crime in the city:

Murder: 6 yr low
Agg assault: 5 yr low
Sex assault: 20 (!) yr low
Robbery, burglary, larceny: 25 (!!) yr low

Not.

Trump dump? More than half of Canadians with U.S. properties want to ditch them - National | Globalnews.ca A majority of those planning to sell — 62 per cent — said the main reason they wanted to sell was 'due to the current political administration in the United States.'

US Tourism officials & politicians keep downplaying the drop in tourism.

Canadian snowbirds, who spend their winter & bring a lot of money into the US economy, are selling off their properties & not coming back. Florida & Arizona will be ground zero for this.

Winter is coming, Canadians are not.

One person having the power to upend entire industries and economic sectors on a whim every day that puts companies out of business and workers out of jobs with no legislative input is an autocracy, regardless of whether that person initially acquired power through an election.

NEVER FORGET: Trump’s military parade in June COST an estimated $92M. NOW the Quantico event logistics of transporting, housing, & securing HUNDREDS of officers & support staff IS WASTE (& SECURITY RISK), ESPECIALLY when defense budgets are ALREADY strained (& Trump wants to STOP Trans Healthcare).🔥

I think the Trump admin assumed no one would try to find out who the people on the boats they blew up really were

It was pretty damned close. Imagine wining the popular vote by 3 fucking million and not being the winner.

If anyone has any internal DOJ memoranda opining on the merits of charging Jim Comey, please send it to me and I may or may not provide it anonymously to the press.

Thank you for your attention to this matter!

You cancel Jimmy Kimmel, we cancel everything Disney, tbh I'm so over the big three networks. BTW My attention is mostly on the Epstein Files.

The last 24 hours have made clear that independent and pro-democracy media is more important than ever. I founded Democracy Docket in the crucible of 2020 to be just that.
