Phang: If Republican senators and congressmen have an issue with their cell records being obtained by Jack Smith, they should take it up with Trump. Because Trump ordered his co-conspirators, and Trump himself made phone calls to make sure that those election results were not certified…

Flip both houses of Congress so we can defund ICE please.

Zohran Mamdani's best ad yet.

Just a quick reminder that Jack Smith had 86 witnesses lined up ready to convict Donald Trump, and every one of them were Republicans

Meanwhile in the U.S., Trump: 📍 Deployed the military over nonviolent immigration protests, against local government objections and legal challenges. 📍 Posted an AI video of him dropping literal 💩 on MILLIONS of Americans who showed up peacefully for No Kings Day.

The fascist regime is wasting no time in getting back to terrorizing our communities

The is an old Washington saying that the cover-up is worse than the crime. What if it turns out that isn't true? My latest on why for Trump, the Epstein cover-up may beat the truth will be sent out via email shortly to Democracy Docket subscribers. Sign up now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Good point. Too bad we don’t have that anymore thanks to Trump.

Morning! Our first full-length episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast of 2026 is officially out now. If you want to help show what independent, pro-democracy media can do, this is the moment. Add the show and listen right now wherever you get your podcasts. Let’s start the year off big!

My latest👇 Unlike in past years, we are not only up against the GOP and its right-wing allies, but the Department of Justice as well. Their collective goal is to use data to make it harder for you to vote and easier for them to cheat next November. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

Gill on Epstein Files: I reached out to sources and they say that not only did New York send over everything they had in March, but that the entire review process—using roughly a thousand analysts from the FBI’s Information Management Division—was specifically to review the files from New York

Fair warning: If you don’t want to see a LOT of get out the vote content this year, I’m probably not a good person to follow. My goal for 2026 is to help hand the GOP the largest midterm loss in history. We’re going to make 2018 look like a small trickle.

What the KENNEDY Center used to be… Remember that time Aretha Franklin performed at the 2015 Kennedy Center Honors, paying tribute to Carole King, who co-wrote “You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman,” and it brought a tear to Obama’s eye and everyone to their feet? And Carole King’s reaction. Wow.

MAGA: This is what I voted for!!! Can we get an update on our ballroom!?!

This Jack Smith deposition makes one thing abundantly clear: If Donald Trump wasn’t re-elected, he’d be spending the rest of his life in prison. And he should be.

Jack Smith: I'm not going to be intimidated. legacy.www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Question: But the president’s statements that he believed the election was rife with fraud—those are statements protected by the First Amendment, correct? Smith: Absolutely not. If they are made to target a lawful government function and are made with knowing falsity, then no, they are not.

unvarnished gutter racism and Nazism from the president. a disgrace to our country.

2025 was a year where many of our worst fears came to pass. We watched a madman get back into the White House, who let billionaires hijack our federal government, slash our benefits to fund their government handouts & tax cuts, while stealing our data to feed their Orwellian surveillance systems 🧵

Hope and belief are what makes us stronger than this regime

It's absolutely true this is horrifying. It's also true that the NEED to spend this $$ (beyond whatever incentive arises from graft ProPublica already described) arises from the way ICE goons have become toxic. Plus now we can attack the waste fraud and abuse.

No way Drumpf would EVER understand this.

LOUISIANA: ICE officer pleads guilty to sexually abusing Nicaraguan detainee for Months “while she was under his authority”

Agree 💯 With Matthew Dowd......

So I saw that story that DOGE cancelled Adobe Acrobat for DOJ and that's why we could copy/paste to un-redact that one Epstein document. But I did some research and it's not true. The cost cutting package from this past May included Acrobat Premium, which has the redaction/sanitize function. 1/

Krishnamoorthi: It seems there was a lot of care taken to redact any reference to Trump—but not nearly as much care taken to protect the names of survivors. That lack of care may itself be a message to survivors: don’t push it, because if you do, we’ll keep releasing in ways that could prejudice you

DEMS WIN BIG IN IOWA: Democrat Renee Hardman wins IA State Senate SD-16 with 71.5%, a 27-point Dem overperformance from 2024. Harris won the district by 16. Hardman's victory blocks a GOP supermajority and makes history as the first Black woman elected to the Iowa Senate.

It’s incredibly disturbing that Judge Aileen Cannon…is still a judge. That conversation doesn’t come up enough.

The J6 Pipe Bomber stated that the reason he placed the pipe bombs at the DNC & RNC because he believed that the 2020 election was stolen, & no one in Congress was taking it seriously. Now who was the one that kept on saying that the election was stolen?? youtu.be/4xgayuaun2U?...

-A living wage -Guaranteed healthcare -The right to join a union -The right to vote -The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family -The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence These are the foundations of real freedom.

This bill passed unanimously. Let's see if they override his veto. Bet they won't.

On a day when the Kennedy family is grappling with an unimaginable personal loss, Donald Trump chose to use his platform to launch petty, vindictive attacks against them. Yet another stunning display of cruelty and utter lack of basic human decency.

The last line of this post refutes the first. Of the 78 people charged in the Feeding Our Future fraud probe, 70 were indicted by February 2024, the last full year of the Biden presidency. web.archive.org/web/20241120...

Trump posted a photo claiming it shows a bald eagle in the United States killed by a windmill. In reality, the image is of a dead falcon in Israel from 2017.

They look like two dudes who got shoved into lockers in high school for ratting out the kids who went off campus for lunch.
