A 10 day hearing began today in Texas to determine if the GOP's new rigged map will remain in place or be struck down for 2026. The best way to stay informed on what is happening is to subscribe to Democracy Docket, the media outlet I started in 2020, for times like these. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

EMERGENCY MEDICAID REIMBURSES HOSPITALS FOR CARE TO UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS BECAUSE BY LAW HOSPITALS CANNOT TURN AWAY ANYONE IN AN EMERGENCY. RONALD REGAN SIGNED THIS INTO LAW.

Traitorous Petey Kegsbreath, the Secretary of Clownish Behavior, refuses to answer when questioned by Senator Elissa Slotkin on whether he would, or has, ordered US troops to use lethal force on unarmed protesters.

“The surprise job loss in September is the latest sign that the labor market is weakening. Job growth has slowed to a trickle this year…” www.wsj.com/economy/jobs...

The saying "you may not believe in climate change, but insurance companies do" same with the military and anyone else who is set to lose billions or dollars over the next dozens of years from it

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals? J: I didn't see it D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

Commentary: Swarming Washington’s Lincoln Memorial and Chicago’s Magnificent Mile with armed agents in combat regalia can’t possibly be the most efficient way to apprehend foreigners who lack legal status.

Maj. Gen. Paul Eaton, Ret.: "Pete Hegseth spent millions to fly in all our generals and admirals to rant about facial hair and brag about how many pull-ups he can do, and have Donald Trump sleepwalk through a list of partisan gripes. [cont.]

An arrest of a person due entirely to the person having dark skin color is now known across the country as a "Kavanaugh stop," based on Justice Kavanaugh's justification of the practice. slate.com/news-and-pol...

The year is 2003. 17-year-old Stephen Miller is sitting in the back of a school bus talking about torture, as in “Torture is a celebration of human life and dignity." Miller looks directly into the camera and describes the torturing Iraqis in gruesome detail, as his peers laugh uncomfortably.

Empathy + Action = A Better World Thank you, Jane Goodall

I’ve written many times about how the US & Russia could never “fight terrorism” together because we don’t share the same rules of engagement or understanding of the rules of war What did our allies see at Quantico? Warnings they may have to start thinking about American forces as the bad influence

Everybody should read Virginia Guiffre’s memoir “Nobody’s Girl.” Suggest it for your book clubs. We all need to be talking about Epstein’s assaults on girls and those in power (even her family) who don’t want the truth to come out #EpsteinFiles www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/712958...

Oh nothing just the president reposting “Qanon76”

NEW: THREAD: Just a small collection of propaganda emails sent by the regime to federal employees who have sent them to me on the condition of anonymity. First, we all saw the HUD banner from Tuesday morning. 1/

Federal workers are speaking out on how the Trump regime is harming Americans: "We stand here today at a moment of the greatest assault of our lifetimes on our freedoms. The US Constitution is being shredded... We are here to call on Congress to stand up and stop it." youtu.be/uw1KwIBgrCw?...

That's it. I can't keep doing this. No more animals. It's tearing my heart out. We lost Sandy. Now Patches is going downhill fast. Deaf, confused, anxiety attacks, a bag of bones under that fur and she closes doors then freaks out because the door is closed.

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... I submitted a column about Kirk to my hometown newspaper. The editor ultimately rejected it. Writing back, he said that he “liked it and that it was well written” BUT, he felt that it was too inflammatory. Compared to this, it was candy and kittens #USDemocracy

They didn’t drain the swamp. They sold VIP tickets to it.

During Trump’s first term, the nation endured its longest-ever shutdown, 35 days, over his demands for funding to his promised border wall. He and his Congressional enablers should remember that his presidency and his party's electoral chances went straight downhill from that day forward. Cheers.

So stupid and so bad

“ABC7 spoke to Pertissue Fisher, a woman who lives in the building. She said ICE agents took everyone in the building, including her, and asked questions later….’They was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other.’” It can’t happen here, you say. But it is happening.

Rep Don Beyer, one of the wealthiest people in Congress, is rejecting his paycheck during the shutdown. I have a better idea. Take the check & donate it to the 27 Brave candidates running in the deepest red parts of VA. secure.actblue.com/donate/vaval... @90for90.bsky.social @charlesgaba.com

If you still are a Republican after all this, if you still didn't quit this Nazi-wannabe party - you're complicit in what they do. No matter who you personally vote for.

ON REDDIT — allegedly a mailer went out threatening Republicans to go vote in the TN-7 special election: “Party leadership would be very disappointed” “You can’t afford that on your record” “your neighbors are watching” “we are compiling a list”😕 www.reddit.com/r/pics/s/NTd...

Miller made this bullshit lie up. If police had been dealing with (as they make it out to be) a considerable amount of gangbangers in Memphis this would have been in the news. Same is/can be said for any other US city (gangs, war torn, whatever). These crime scales they depict don’t exist.

Always quote Al Franken— I like Ted Cruz more than most of my other colleagues like Ted Cruz. And I hate Ted Cruz.

hi from EL PASO 🫡 excited to be here so i can keep you posted on a major hearing in federal court to decide whether TX can use its new gerrymandered congressional map in next year's election. here's my day 1 recap: www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Such a great point, and why dictators rarely use the real military to suppress dissent. The guys putting down the controller to join the masked thugs were not moved by 9/11; they're thrilled at the chance to beat on defenseless migrants. Trump wants Proud Boys, becuz he'll never get Patriots...

Rieckhoff: A vet on CNN said we haven’t fought to win in 20 years. I said, I was fighting to win. You were fighting to win. Kander: That shit pisses me off. Rieckhoff: He said he meant the generals. Which one? It’s boogeymen—and now cosplay warriors who never served join ICE to bully immigrants.

Swear in Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva. Release the Epstein files. Expose and punish pedofiles.

Hertling: His comments about putting hands back on recruits… We moved away from that 30 years ago because it’s ineffective… You know where it didn’t go away? The Russian army.

#ResistanceRoots #NationalHispanicHeritageMonth Reies López Tijerina led the New Mexico land grant movement in the 1960s and 1970s, founding the Alianza Federal de Mercedes (Federal Alliance of Land Grants) to fight for the restoration of land grants promised by the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. /1

Rep. Dean is correct—Trump is unwell. Scarier is that America isn't being run by Trump, but Stephen Miller. Miller is so much crazier that it's the difference between a rabid homicidal skunk with a swastika tattoo and a kitten that vomits and bites when petted. Miller directs the DHS/DOJ agendas.

DelBene: He’s the president of the United States, and instead of talking about standing up for our communities or what’s best for the country, he’s talking about inflicting pain if he doesn’t get what he wants. He’s been inflicting pain on the American people since he went into office in January

📢💙‼️ It's long past time that we break the norms too NONE of what this administration is doing follows them Just consider today-- Hegseth & Trump pretending that what they told the generals is the way forward We say HELL NO‼️ We will defend legit 🇺🇸 #OV1 www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Pete Hegseth says overweight military leaders should resign. Shouldn’t that include Fat Satan?

Republicans control the house, the senate, the presidency, and the judiciary. Pretending a republican shut down is the democrats' fault is like blaming your towels for flood damage.

Trump just ordered the military into Memphis and he’s authorized lethal force on U.S. citizens. This is the beginning of dictatorship in America. Donald Trump must be stopped! Please donate to Free Memphis and share this link! secure.actblue.com/donate/freem...

Phang: So, as we can see you have a DHS official—you clearly hear him say on that body cam footage, “I am arresting the mayor. Even though he stepped out, I’m going to put him in cuffs.” Who told him to do it? He says: the Deputy Attorney General… And who’s that? Todd Blanche.

Trump bails out Argentina to the tune of $20 billion and Argentina turns around and sell China their soybeans causing further problems for Dept of Agriculture and farmers. China the US biggest buyer hasn’t bought any since May & tariffs. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 apple.news/Ap7xEMpxYTvK...
