Pentagon’s internal watchdog begins inquiry into US boat strikes in the Caribbean as part of "Operation Southern Spear." The probe examines whether targeting guidelines were met following allegations from outside groups that the vessel strikes were illegal.

Nothing makes you look guiltier than forcing the Justice Department to promise never to investigate your taxes or prosecute you for anything they might find.

The fight for a more affordable New York starts in State Assembly races. We're proud to endorse: • Samantha Kattan (AD-37) • @cct4nyc.bsky.social (AD-54) • David Siffert (AD-66) • Eli Northrup (AD-69) • Maurice Brown (AD-129) • @kurtforprogress.com (AD-134) This is how we build power.

We are proud to endorse Greg Casar for re-election to Congress. As the new Chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, Greg is helping lead the fight for working-class politics. A former labor organizer, @gregcasar.bsky.social is fighting to lower costs, strengthen unions, and take on greed.

The establishment bet against @aoc.bsky.social, and she went on to transform American politics. We are proud to endorse her for re-election to Congress because she has shown what’s possible when you reject corporate PAC money, organize at the grassroots, and take on oligarchic power head-on. ✊

The U.S. has announced criminal charges against 94 year old, former Cuban president Raúl Castro, boosting Trump's campaign against Havana's one-party government.

The lawsuit, filed with the Public Integrity Project, seeks to invalidate the Republican administration’s fund, claiming that it emboldens violence against police and rewards sedition.

The Senate parliamentarian ruled against the $1 billion Secret Service funding Senate bill provision, finding it could not be included in the GOP immigration enforcement reconciliation bill as drafted.

King Trump Fired All Cruise Ship Health Inspectors. He fired the full-time employees in the CDC Vessel Sanitation Program. The Outbreak Investigators are also gone. 👉 The cuts baffled CDC officials since cruise ship companies pay for the program.

BREAKING: The Senate has advanced a bill to block trump's war in Iran. Republicans have blocked multiple war powers resolutions, but this time Bill Cassidy, fresh off his primary election loss, flipped and voted FOR it. apnews.com/article/trum...

We're endorsing Rep. Ruwa Romman for Georgia Senate — the first Muslim woman elected to the State House. @ruwa4georgia.bsky.social is running to raise wages, build houses, reopen hospitals, feed hungry kids, and take on private prisons. This win will grow Georgia's Progressive Caucus!

Uptown and the Bronx deserve bold, unapologetic leadership. UAW member and public defense investigator, @darializaforny.bsky.social is running for Congress in NY-13 against an entrenched incumbent backed by big real estate. She has organized against ICE and will fight for a people-first agenda.

We deserve more than politics as usual. Union organizer and State Assembly member Claire Valdez is running for Congress in NY-07 and fighting for real working-class power: Unions for All, Housing for All, Medicare for All — and a path to legalize millions of immigrant Americans.

Extending Diablo Canyon's life with updgrades is costly and unnecessary. Rrenewables and batteries now meet demand more cheaply, nuclear inflexibility raises costs, and projections justifying it are outdated, risking higher burdens on ratepayers.

This is an unprecedented level of corruption. Trump is forcing the government to drop ALL tax audits of him, his family, and his businesses—giving him FULL IMMUNITY from prosecution. What is Trump hiding from the American people? Congress must step up and stop this corruption.

The endorsement coming partway through early voting, is a searing blow for John Cornyn, who finished first in the March runoff but was unable to convince King Trump to endorse him.

The genocidal settlers will not be satisfied until they have murdered, driven out every last Palestinian/Arab from what they call "Greater Israel"!

Washington Gov. Bob Ferguson isn't playing around. He just signed an emergency law making it a felony for any election official to hand your private voter data to Trump's DOJ. Read how WA is building an impenetrable fortress.

Good coverage of yesterday's events in Selma and Montgomery. We may not have wanted to be in this play, but the this is where you go to learn from those who came before how to act when you are called to this stage.

Non-ticket holders will gather outside the Ed Sullivan Theater on Thursday afternoon to say "goodbye" to Stephen Colbert.

The ruling determined that the DOGE’s grant cuts were executed on the basis of race, gender,& other protected characteristics—representing a violation of both the First and Fifth Amendments, and DOGE staffers lacked the jurisdiction to make the grant terminations and blocked them from going through.

Sections of the new law are unconstitutional because they encroach on the federal government's sole authority over immigration laws. The law provides no defense for people who had federal permission to enter the country or those who might have pending immigration status, such as a green card.

Congratulations to Brian Poindexter on winning the Democratic primary in OH-07. Brian ran an unapologetic campaign that was anti-corporate, anti-corruption, and pro-worker in a Trump +11 district. This is how we beat Max Miller and flip this seat in November! @poindexterforcongress.com

Congrats to @twrader.bsky.social on advancing to November for Ohio State House. From Lakewood City Council to the State House, he has delivered on clean energy, healthcare, and holding corporations accountable. A former Bernie organizer, Tristan has never lost sight of who he’s fighting for.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said that there’s a “ton of evidence” that the 2020 presidential election was rigged against President Donald Trump during a segment on Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo’s Sunday morning show. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Trump just put him in charge of the FDA. He has no medical background at all. But he does turkey hunt with Don Junior so ok. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Trumps answer was 12 when asked by Howard how young is too young.

One longtime network insider said to expect “massive changes” after the season ends, though the network is said to have no plans to blow up the format or to change the show’s award-winning mission. Layoffs are widely expected, however.

Thousands are marching in Selma calling for a full restoration of the voting rights act.

NEW: President Donald Trump is pressuring lawmakers to pass the SAVE America Act voter suppression bill by attaching it to housing and foreign intelligence surveillance legislation currently pending before Congress. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

"CBS is assenting to its own diminishment." "The biggest loss is to core America values, including the right to speak freely, even in brutally mocking terms, about those in power..." www.nytimes.com/2026/05/16/o...

King Trump accepted that “tremendous damage” had been done to the U.S., but hit back at Xi Jinping’s claims that America is a “declining nation”, blaming Joe Biden for the state of the country as he concluded an historic trip to China.

Thirty-six countries, mainly from Europe, signed up today to a special Council of Europe tribunal to prosecute Russian President Putin for the crime of aggression against Ukraine. The tribunal will be able to try Putin in absentia, but only after he leaves office.

The accusation was by a woman who claimed to have been abused by Epstein as a minor between 2002-2005 at his home in Palm Beach. She provided a list names persons who are believed or known by you to have any knowledge concerning any of the issues in this lawsuit. Fifth on that list was Donald Trump.

A massive & unprecedented presidential plunder . . . King Trump will drop his $10B IRS lawsuit in the coming days “in exchange for the creation of a $1.7 billion fund to compensate his allies, sycophants, & insurrectionists who claim they were wrongfully targeted by the Biden administration.

The ballroom price tag is now $1 billion And Republicans in Congress want taxpayers to pay for it #WeCantAffordTrump

King Trump has been, & is now “normalizing public corruption” & downplaying the crimes of convicted fraudsters who stripped millions of dollars from victims. What better way to celebrate our nation’s birthday than have a guilty criminal undermine judges & juries to reward his fellow criminals?

When the state is disenfranchising its Black voters, there's zero question why ROOTS was just banned in Knox County, Tennessee schools.

Sean Duffy's corruption is palpable. Boeing and Toyota donated $1 million each to help fund a new reality-television inspired show starring Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy with his family on a road trip. Others contributed services and goods. All are regulated by Duffy.
