When your redistricting scheme’s so shady you need cops to babysit lawmakers into voting for it, that’s not leadership...it’s legislative hostage-taking. Rep. Nicole Collier said nope: “I won’t sign away my dignity.” Big democracy energy. #TXlege #Gerrymandering #TruthBombTuesday

From my newsletter to Democracy Docket members yesterday.

Inverness Caledonian Thistle's interim chief executive Charlie Christie has confirmed talks between themselves and Celtic over a cooperation loan agreement for League One. Celtic already have an agreement in place with Ayr United for the Championship.

You're not suggesting that the president is running a protection racket.

A murderous dictator has kompromat on the US President and is making him do his bidding. The Cold War never ended for Vladimir Putin. What is happening to America right now is his greatest triumph.

FORTY PERCENT. Let that sink in. Vegetable prices have gone up forty percent. Is America reaching Greatness yet?

In about an hour I’ll drop an article that’ll make the short hairs on your neck stand straight up. When you finish...you won’t see Putin’s war...or America’s betrayal...the same way again. You'll never get this from CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, etc. It's ugly. But someone has to level with you. Stay tuned.

Hey everyone! Just landed back in France after spending 3 weeks guiding photo tours in Greenland. Looking forward to share some new work from there 🙂. Meanwhile here’s a video of a really cool iceberg 🧊 we found last week.

Two big takeaways from yesterday. First, by “joking” that if the U.S. were at war in 2028 there would be “no more elections,” brushing aside the constitutional mandate for regularly scheduled votes. Then later, when a hot mic caught him telling French President Macron that

America Is Abandoning One of the Greatest Medical Breakthroughs MRNA saved 20M lives, a million+ in US, reduced hospitalization & deaths, lowered long covid risk mRNA can be adapted for new viruses & is being tested for cancer vaccines, autoimmune therapies - www.nytimes.com/2025/08/18/o...

NEW: More than 20 state attorneys general have filed suit against the DOJ, alleging the Trump administration is unlawfully seeking to withhold critical funds for crime victims from states deemed noncompliant with its immigration enforcement efforts.

The country is really against this president, by large and increasing numbers.

My mRNA vaccine beats your horse dewormer 7 days a week and twice on Sunday.

Cutting off mRNA research because the first mRNA vaccines weren't good enough - *even if that were true, which it really isn't* - is like if we banned personal computers in 1981 because the IBM PC was too expensive

mRNA vaccines are a bright spot at the intersection between national (and global) security, global public health, and American prosperity. Ending government funding for mRNA research is like the proverbial “cutting off your nose to spite your face.” Urge your Congressional rep to stop this madness.

I Rather agree with Dan,and this was from Chump's prior meeting With Boss Putin.......

Being against vaccines when diseases are rampant (measles, Covid) is like adding chlorine to the gene pool. Darwin is watching.

To honor Zelensky, I'm ordering take out from Veselka, the East village Ukrainian restaurant. Latkes with sour cream and applesauce, and egg noodles!

This little guy wants to say good morning Bluesky… 😊

Like you I've seen all the pics people post here abt the steady increase of tacky gold crap he keeps adding to the oval office. But somehow it wasn't until I saw this picture that it just hit me. What the actual fuck. Like a Vegas whorehouse.

Reminder that Putin has never said he wants a trilateral meeting, had never said he would respect Ukrainian sovereignty, and has never said he wants to end the war. Not to be a downer, but the discussion of security guarantees is premature.

If you need to steal, cheat or cancel elections to stay in power, it’s because you know how much everyone hates your guts.

Can't really argue with the King.....

No one owns the Water. No one owns the Land. No one owns the sand. These are given by Our Mother. The Planet provides for Free. Only by the hands of the Greedy does the Earth require a Fee 🌺

I nominate Facebook and Meta for the Abusive Social Media Corporation Prize. On other social media platforms, you may be abused by trolls or stalkers, but on Facebook, users are abused and threatened by the Facebook and Meta corporations, with absurd and false claims of violating standards.

Are the mRNA vaccines incredible? YES! Are the mRNA vaccines perfect? No. Have the mRNA vaccines saved millions of lives? YES! Can we make the mRNA vaccines even better? YES! Can we use mRNA vaccine technology to prevent and treat many other diseases? YES! Fund mRNA research!

Kompromat seems like the answer to Trump's obeisance to Putin...

🚨BREAKING: The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is escalating its effort to pressure states to hand over sensitive voter data, including by threatening legal action, according to letters from a top department official obtained by Democracy Docket. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

What the actual F? This guy is a total tool.
