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-...

Moskowitz: By the president’s own metrics, what accomplishments does Noem have?

• She’s holding up 200 miles of border wall.
• She’s deported fewer people than Obama.
• She’s not helping any of these red-state governors with their disasters.

Why hasn’t he fired her?

“I’ve never protested before - but I just watched 4th & 5th grade kids run away from our own government.” 😕🇺🇸💔

President Obama: "When I was president, I suppose I could have simply unilaterally ordered the military to go into some red state and harass and intimidate a governor there or cut off funding for states that didn't vote for me... but that is contrary to how I think our democracy is supposed to work"

Wow! This is some top-notch investigative journalism. The report claims the 3 million Epstein files released are only 2% of the total.

The massive scale of what’s still missing is hard to comprehend.

I just now saw this. It needs to be hanging in a museum. It’s a work of art!

If you’re tracking the warehouse developments, @projectsaltbox.bsky.social is a must-follow. Doing great work!

Let's do it and see.
Bring it on.
The biggest threat we've ever faced is squatting and shitting in the White House NOW.

Sanders: The American people do not want this country to be an authoritarian society or an oligarchy. We have our differences, that’s what democracy is about—we argue it out. We don’t throw people who disagree in jail. We don’t intimidate the media. We don’t send ICE agents to shoot people.

AG Keith Ellison: "The surge is contributing to violent crime. Two of the three homicides committed in Minneapolis in 2026 have come at the hands of federal immigration agents."

Bovino advanced all the way to within eyesight of Paisley Park, but his supply lines were stretched too thin and ultimately his frozen troops were encircled by Will Stancil and wine moms with whistles

It goes back much further. This is a common practice during worksite raids. This happened during a 2018 raid in Trump’s first term, and the Biden DOJ ended up settling a lawsuit about it.

If this doesn’t deep-six his Presidency I don’t know what will.

This is vile. This is ugly.

This perpetrator must be held accountable.

No longer is this right versus left.

It’s about right versus wrong.

America’s morality will be tested like never before in nearly 250 years.

It isn't an empty gesture, it may not do anything now, but it's a signal to history, and to the world and to ourselves, that this is not ok.

This says it all.

Rep. Neal Dunn (R-Fla.) declined to comment today on reports that he may soon announce his resignation from Congress before completing his term. If he does step down, Republicans will lose their narrow majority in the House. 🤞

what is with these people and dogs?

JP Cooney is on Deadline Whitehouse right now and will be launching a bid for congress. (He's one of the prosecutors from Jack Smith's office.)

So they can sue for $10 billion now, right?

MEMPHIS @repcohen.bsky.social to Bondi: "You tried to investigate Ms. Good's widow, and you tried to investigate Mr. Pretti. They were executed like Kristi Noem executed her dog."

The Atlantic’s profile of Bondi has some wow.

An image we won't soon forget. Attorney General Pam Bondi refused to look at Epstein survivors pictured behind her on the Hill today.

CNN: "Another photograph - these are notes AG Bondi brought to the hearing today. This shows a list of Rep. Jayapal's search history. Lawmakers are allowed to go to a DOJ facility to search unredacted files. We learned from this photo that the searches are apparently being tracked & read by the DOJ"

No one can deny that ICE under this Administration is being overly aggressive, violating people's rights, and endangering the lives of U.S. citizens and law abiding immigrants. We cannot move forward without commonsense reforms.
