Democracy Docket subscribers just met the newest member of our family. Blue!

So, like, are active shooter drills at churches the solution? Because that’s what they decided for schools.

We cannot normalize militarizing American cities and suburbs. Make sure you know your rights and stay alert.

The Trump Administration's DHS officers appear to be carrying large weapons around downtown Chicago in camouflage and masks. This is not making anybody safer — it’s a show of intimidation, instilling fear in our communities and hurting our businesses.

Thou shalt worry less about Tylenol causing autism and more about Donold causing fascism.

Stop the scapegoating and start dealing with America’s real gun crisis. HOMEGROWN‼️

Those foreign leaders freaking out at the majesty and splendor of King Trump’s golden palace.

Who asked for this?

An alternative to Tylenol and vaccines.

Missouri's Governor just signed the GOP's illegal map. It will now be sued.

While Stephen Miller claims that Democrats calling him a fascist constitutes incitement, there are hundreds of examples of Miller publicly calling Democrats fascists.

Next time MAGA asks you to define a woman, ask them to define ANTIFA!

If Antifa were a real group, you’d be able to buy merch.

Has anyone ever told Donald Trump to go f%k himself? Right to his face? I’d launch a Kickstarter for anyone of consequence in congress, in his cabinet, or in his inner circle to tell him to go f%k himself right to his face. Someone with power or real sway. I want it in 4K video and Dolby Atmos.

Remember, the same government deploying masked agents to kidnap people off the streets and disappear them to foreign countries without due process demands you not call them fascist…or else.

🚨🚨

This is actually one of his better posts.

I don’t know what Propaganda Barbie is yammering about, but I do know the US Ryder Cup team has lost every session since Trump infected them on day 1 with his loser energy.

The Trump administration’s threat to deploy troops in Portland is unlawful. Here’s a thought. Focus on protecting the healthcare of the American people.

This is your daily reminder—not that any is needed—that Trump is an absolute fucking moron.

In other words, Kash Patel is forced to issue a statement that the fake “story” being pushed by Trump and right-wing media / influencers that these agents were “embedded in the crowd” is a lie. Except he calls it a “clarification.”

What the fuck is going on? open.substack.com/pub/logicall...

President Donald Trump’s plan to rig the 2026 midterm election by pressuring states to create more Republican congressional seats will face a major test in a federal courtroom in El Paso, Texas starting Wednesday, as a panel of judges considers whether to block the state’s new gerrymandered map.

Thanks to Trump's reckless economic policies, Illinois' agriculture industry is facing trade disruptions that are costing farmers income and jeopardizing jobs. As we find ways to address the impact, I commend IDOA for hosting a second grain tour.

Wow

I miss the days when the president wasn’t declaring war on our own people.

This is domestic terrorism

Left: we want the Epstein files Right: we also want the Epstein files Trump: best I can do for you is the Amelia Earhart files

The only way Portland could ever be war ravaged is by Trump and his Gestapo being there.

Thoughts and prayers for war-torn Portland and whatnot.

Glad he’s focusing on what’s important

(3/3) And we REALLY need to get to a point where we can realize he ALSO makes these posts because his approval is down, the economy is faltering, he's facing an imminent shutdown, Comey's prosecution is weak, Kimmel is back, Bolsonaro is going to prison, and the discharge petition has the votes.

(2/3) We need to get to a point where we can read posts like this, and instead of feeling pure anxiety and outrage, realize how hard Trump is obviously trying to make us feel anxiety and outrage. This is, IMO, a primary goal of this particular post and how it's phrased by him.

(1/3) In a post this AM, Trump called the city of Portland "war-ravaged." He said he'd direct troops there, referring to Hegseth as "Secretary of War." He then said ICE facilities in Portland are under attack by the mythical "Antifa." And then he said he was "authorizing" full force if necessary.

hey, remember when Kamala Harris warned everyone that Trump would use the military on us, and the press was all "shut up, laughing lady, prove you worked at McDonald's"? that was fun, wasn't it

🚨BREAKING: President Donald Trump announced the deployment of U.S. troops to Portland, Oregon, and federal immigration facilities nationwide Saturday, claiming he is defending the country against “domestic terrorists.” www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

💯. This has been the takeaway from the attacks on law firms and universities as well.

With all the talk of the left being terrorists, does anyone else remember this

Let this sink in: Trump thinks making you suffer is his path to winning the shutdown. That only makes me want Democrats to fight harder. 📌 Trump administration is plotting “maximum pain” on Americans during government shutdown

Interesting that Trump would announce he's sending troops to Portland with authorization for "Full Force" days before the nation's top military brass have been called to Quantico. A test to see who will oppose unlawful orders? Strikes on Venezuelan boats have already met resistance....

WTF

If you or anyone you know is wondering what is REALLY going on with the shutdown… Watch every second of this. I Promise it’s worth your time. #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown

Jeffries: "Trump, get back to DC. Why are you at a golf event right now & the govt is 4 days away from closing? That's outrageous. And it speaks to the fact that these extremists could care less about the health, safety, and economic well-being of the American people. They're on vacation right now."

Jeffries: "Cancel the cuts, lower the costs, save healthcare. Not complicated. Eight words. Even Donald Trump should be able to understand that."

Jeffries: "One could argue that what James Comey did 11 days before the election in 2016 had something to do with the fact that Donald Trump got elected the first time around. This is how Trump repays James Comey? It's all crazy to me ... what it reflects is a broader attack on the rule of law."

I dare say nobody on this site wants him in office. I decline your charge of complicitness, because I voted against him three times and did a bunch of other civic things and protest/donate now, and I don't fancy being told I'm not doing enough. You all need to be patient just like we have to be.
