Pro-voting groups warn that if the Supreme Court rules to strike down a key provision of the Voting Rights Act, it could give the GOP at least 19 more U.S. House seats — seats that were directly created by the provision. https://bit.ly/4q7aQ7D

Has to ask his daddy

As ICE terrorizes communities, remember that some of Trump's biggest supporters are private prison companies that will make bank off his budget bill. And Stephen Miller recently disclosed over $100K of stock in Palantir, the shady data firm ICE uses to target immigrants. Cashing in on cruelty.

A friend ran the Chicago marathon today and said he couldn’t count the number of FUCK ICE signs along the way.

Never forget that when Bondi was appointed, Democracy Docket immediately called her out while The Washington Post gave her a thumbs up. If you value independent, pro-democracy media that won't bow down or obey, support Democracy Docket today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Kelly: I really worry about those aviators, drone operators, special forces guys that are in the Caribbean right now striking these boats and whether or not this is legal.. There’s no authorization for the use of military force. The Congress has not given that to the president. He hasn’t asked.

Do you see where this is headed?

THESE PEOPLE ARE RUNNING FOR THEIR LIVES FROM ANTIFA, GOVERNOR

Let’s be honest: there have already been several bizarre moments from Trump this morning alone that would justify invoking the 25th Amendment. He is a seriously unwell individual.

The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants. Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America.

Accurate.

Gov. JB Pritzker on ABC: "He certainly has the power of the presidency. He does not have the power to overcome the Constitution. And so am I afraid? I am not afraid. Do I think that he could do it? He might. But as I've said before, come and get me I mean. You're dead wrong, Mr. President."

The GOP controls the House, Senate, and White House. And they love to remind us when it’s convenient for them. So it's on them to fund the government. If they want our votes, they have to come talk to us. They know what we want: extend the ACA tax credits so the healthcare system doesn't collapse.

Schatz: They’re stopping wind and solar because this guy has some very strange ideas about the energy mix. And it’s consistent with the rest of his political and economic philosophy — if there’s less of everything, it gives him more authority to dole out favors

Tim Dillon: "Children being zip tied, or a grandmother being zip tied, people who've maybe lived in a community 30 years and they're not committing a crime...showing up to a high school graduation and deporting someone's father, seems to a lot of people to be inhumane."

Back in the 90s when neo-nazi skinheads were everywhere, people wore colored laces in their Doc Martens to signify which side they were on. Red meant nazi, one black one white meant anti-racist, blue meant neutral, and green meant you like frogs and were anti-fascist. Been thinking about that a lot.

George W. Bush spoke fluent Spanish and gave weekly radio addresses in the language. He understood words don’t define being American. Two decades later, MAGA calls Bad Bunny “anti-American” for singing in Spanish and wonders why everyone thinks they’re bigots.

The firehose of easily disprovable lies from Trump and his allies continues to get worse each month, with one statement after another completely untethered from reality, which is why it is so important for them to take ownership and control of media platforms & intimidate others.
