What a relief to see 2025 in the rear-view mirror. Count me among those optimistic that 2026, America’s 250th anniversary year, will be the opportunity to prove that most Americans won’t let a depraved and malignant despot destroy our beloved country and end our democratic project. Happy New Year!

Who agrees? ✋

And they shall release plagues upon the earth.

Kalen Dion is not wrong. 😳👇

Most Disgusting Evil Face Ever!! Fuck Donald Trump Forever #FBaRmy Follows! @michellespenc.bsky.social @rubicon1313.bsky.social @coko.bsky.social @gmf1369.bsky.social @bostonbrian.com @rebelb1ue.bsky.social @77sunnyandclear.bsky.social @debbie292d.bsky.social @longislander520.bsky.social @bealer.net

🙏🆘 Euth List In a small kennel I wait 4/a family who will love me. I don’t know if I’ll see another Christmas? It’s my 2nd time here, I was returned 2 owners who pulled a stupid stunt that scared me 2 death! I’m vision impaired in left eye but I’m sweet, devoted & gentle 🙏Pls REPOST 2 Save me‼️

Rumors abound that he’s being pressured to step down! Rumors are weapons! Use it.

Here is a list of Supreme Court cases we here at Democracy Docket will be keeping our gimlet eyes peeled for in 2026 — those with the greatest potential for reshaping American democracy and our nation’s constitutional order in the coming year, whether for good or for ill (mostly for ill).

CBS News has capitulated but Democracy Docket never will. I created it without any corporate backers or private equity investors. It's only accountable to its members who help support its 22-person team. Become one now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

I've now watched the censored 60 Minutes report on CECOT. If you watched it too—and if you have any decency at all—I'm sure you came to the same conclusion I did: winning elections won't be enough; people like Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem will need to be charged and imprisoned.

🚨BREAKING: President Donald Trump’s military takeover of Chicago will not go forward after the Supreme Court Tuesday upheld a lower court ruling halting his attempt to send hundreds of National Guard troops to the city. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Another day, another nauseating porn bot (or worse, a real human) that is now blocked & reported. 🤢🙄

The CBS 60 Minutes Doc confirms what we knew: The U.S. is currently using our tax dollars to imprison brown people with no criminal record in torture camps overseas. It’s no wonder administration shill Bari Weiss pulled this off the air: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjY7...

Absolutely 💯......

He'll start a war to: 1. Distract from the Epstein Files 2. Steal oil 3. Justify emergency powers 4. Justify use of the AEA for deportation/internment 5. Help the drug lord he just pardoned

@captmarkkelly.bsky.social Senator Kelly, your press conference gave me chills just now. And hope…Something I have not felt this entire year. You are an American hero with more honor and integrity in your pinky finger than the all the clowns in the current regime combined. Thank you, sir!

LITERALLY CRIME OF THE CENTURY! Being covered up by the oval office! Repost everywhere!

Several women who survived abuse by Jeffrey Epstein came together for a powerful PSA video demanding that Congress release all files on the accused sex trafficker. “While we are Epstein and Maxwell survivors, we are standing for so many victims of sexual assault and of domestic violence, as well.”

I’ll have what Joe Scarborough is having this morning. 😳😉

Note on new header photo. Conveniently, every year around this time, the turkeys stroll through the neighborhood in flocks at their own peril. 😉 If I were of that species, I would lay low for a few weeks. 😳🦃😄

Your daily reminder. You have a sexual predator in the WH. Thank you for your attention to this matter. #TrumpEpsteinCoverup #ReleaseAllTheEpsteinFiles

When Tish James walks into a courthouse tomorrow — the target of a political prosecution demanded by a President obsessed with revenge — she does not walk in alone. New York has her back. Grateful to Governor Hochul for bringing us together tonight.

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 79th day out of the last 91. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Today has been hard. The images of the entire East Wing being bulldozed looked like something you would see in Gaza, not the White House. I have said several times that I hoped I would never see this in my lifetime, and he keeps topping himself. Trying to stay strong, but today despair won.

Ben Meiselas calls on those with standing to act: seek an injunction to halt Trump’s White House ballroom. Argue fraud—Trump claimed he’d pay and not alter the structure—and use the damage to the East Wing as the emergency basis. Demand discovery now.

"USA! USA!" chants and lots of US flags waving at what Mike Johnson claimed would be... "hate America" rallies.

Good morning everyone To all of you marching THANK YOU TO ALL WHO ARE MARCHING PEACEFUL PROTEST Be safe Be loud Be strong What day is it piglet NO KINGS DAY

Dr. Jane Goodall: “We are the most intellectual species to walk the planet, but we’re not intelligent. If you’re intelligent you don’t destroy your only home.” Me: We still stand unproven in our worthiness.

When the Government reopens, Epstein Files will still be in the headlines, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein,

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com Just had to thank you for tonight’s monologue. It was 🔥🔥! The Times, along with the rest of the WH press corps, would do well to listen and step up! I fear he is burning it down so fast our press won’t have time or guts to say it out loud. Praying for what’s left!

👏👏👏👏 love it, Mark!

We need your help. There is a new doxxing site circulating. A domain just registered through Namecheap (on Sept 10, 2025) and hosted on Squarespace is being used to publish private personal information.

Kevin McWho? 🤷‍♂️Anyway, vote YES on Prop 50.

Yes, this truly does say it all.

INTERNAL DOCS: “National Guard, in measuring public sentiment about Trump’s federal takeover of D.C., has assessed its mission is perceived as “leveraging fear,” driving a “wedge between citizens and the military,” promoting “shame” among some troops…” www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.

A Democratic super PAC is launching a $700,000 digital ad blitz slamming Susan Collins for opposing a bipartisan bill that would ban members of Congress from trading stocks. This ad accuses Collins of “the worst kind of greed… using insider information to trade stocks.” Please WATCH and SHARE. 👀

Gavin Newsom: “Wake up America. You will not have a country if he rigs this election. These guys are not screwing around. The most corrupt president in history. He is wrecking this country, wrecking the economy. He is a lawless president. Wake up America.”

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.
