Pete Hegseth is a danger to this country and our men and women in uniform.

Thom Tillis casting the deciding vote to confirm Hegseth, and his shameful silence yesterday, should be a major issue in the 2026 NC Senate race.

Then she should be behind bars in contempt.

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up. Tomorrow is the cloture vote. KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️ Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill. Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

Go ahead and stay silent. Let fear rule you. Watch injustice happen. Just don’t act like you did not know and accept that you are the latest in a long line of cowards who learned nothing from the past. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-c...

One of these things is not like the others

Our own Rick Wilson hits the nail on the head: Trump is not “making deals” or “playing chess”, he’s just an idiot. Watch the LP Podcast to hear more: bit.ly/4kw7vvV

Mike Myers, Canadian legend, on SNL tonight.

Everyone who is a political appointee in defense that still works for the Trump admin is, as of today, morally bankrupt

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

Quick reminder: @elonmusk isn’t the leader of a country at war, and didn’t wear a tie in the White House and wore a stupid cap

📌NOTE: Immediately after the vile attack on Zelensky by Putin's puppets Friday, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries should have called a joint press conference and explained to the American public the significance, heinousness and danger of that sickening surrender. 📌They should STILL be talking now.

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

Billionaire owner of Washington Post seizes control of opinion page. Will focus nearly exclusively to promote rightwing libertarianism. "Viewpoints opposing those pillars will be left to be published by others." Democracy Docket will expand its pro-democracy opinion section. www.democracydocket.com

Again, any time a Republican says we have to slash Medicaid to fix the deficit, they need to be asked why we shouldn’t just increase taxes on the rich. It’s a zero sum game. Make them defend giving more money to billionaires over keeping ordinary people healthy.

Musk & DOGE are now f*cking with the Social Security Administration. 🚨 IMPORTANT: If you or a loved one experience delayed SS payments or difficulty accessing SSDI services, CALL THE PEOPLE’S HOTLINE! Tell your story. ☎️ 503-212-4600 ☎️ Pass it on:

KEEP PUSHING! If they won’t do a town hall DEMAND ONE

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: I’ll say this again: download all your SF-50s, performance evals, and your eOPF. Now. Print hard copies. And make sure you file an informal grievance with your supervisor within 15 days of any adverse action. Here is a template: www.muellershewrote.com/p/informal-g...

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: He choked. The market started to tank, and suddenly, he said, “Oh, didn’t you guys already have a plan to deal with the border back in December? I love that—I’ll take that.” This is Mr. Art of the Deal.

Whew

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period. I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt. But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

No one's blaming Democrats for causing this crisis, but yes, many of them are failing to meet this moment. One Democratic senator could bring the chamber to a halt. House Dems can go to fed agencies being gutted by Musk with cameras in tow. Governors can push back. State AGs can bring lawsuits.

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive): 1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment* 2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything 3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can 4. Citizens march en mass

all you people who told us to calm down can go fuck yourselves

almost every single word that Sen. John Kennedy says about Dr. Fauci and covid in this clip is false. It's remarkable how Trumpers have concocted a completely fictional history of the pandemic.

There is still quality journalism to be found, and this is what it looks like.

Easiest layup question in media today: ask Republican elected officials if Trump should have pardoned the January 6th folks who violently attacked cops that day.

This is incredible

save some smoke today for the reporters, pundits, and influencers who failed to convey the threat of Trumpism to their audiences and the voters who couldn't be bothered to make an informed choice last November

Barack Obama vs. Trump’s inauguration crowd size

Shocked I tell ya….Shocked!

hey Elon, quick question. wtf is this?

We’re going to get that he didn’t say Heil so who can know what he meant?

Trump set the TikTok ban in motion Congress passed legislation Biden signs legislation SCOTUS upholds ban Biden says his administration wouldn’t enforce the law, leaving room for TikTok to stay open TikTok shuts down anyway Trump tweets TikTok pretends Trump saved it 🙄

🚨BREAKING: MeidasTouch now leads Fox News on the YouTube charts. CNN and MSBC trail far behind. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Because she's a malignant narcissist who will do anything for attention. One would have thought we all knew how to recognize them by now, and deny them media coverage, but here we are.

This isn’t fundamentally Smith’s failure, much as I’d have liked him to wait it out until January 21, or Chutkan’s. But it is a massive failure. The list of people who failed to do their responsibilities in the right ways starts but does not end with Merrick Garland and John Roberts.

The culture here makes it possible. After Jan 6th I privately confronted Mace for lying about my story bc she too was terrified in her office. I said as another assault survivor you know how harmful what you did is. Why? She said “whatever you know it’s a game, just points on the board” Uhh no???

Just a friendly reminder to any Dems on the House Ethics Committee that they are fully protected constitutionally if they decide to read the whole Matt Gaetz ethics report into the record on the House floor….

When Obama nominated Tom Daschle -- a congressional leader with three decades of experience working on federal health care policies -- to be HHS secretary, the senator had to withdraw because a donor provided him with a car. If only he'd beheaded a whale! www.theguardian.com/world/2009/f...

Call them

When I said that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. being DHHS Secretary would kill people, you all understood that I was being literal, right? To underscore: Kennedy Jr. will actually kill people. Mostly children. And only a contemptible monster like Trump would position him to do that and think nothing of it.
