I can't stress this enough. This was their POLICY and PLAN. I've been saying it for months. I know that you all know this. I hope that the people who are losing their benefits understand too. Brooke Rollins et al have been saying that this is their desire and intention for months.

🔥DR. @abdulelsayed.bsky.social : “ICE has nothing to do with immigration. ICE is about normalizing paramilitary force on our streets, weaponizing the idea of immigration against the Constitution. ICE cannot be reformed, retrained… ICE has to be ABOLISHED.” (And held accountable)

Robin Williams was an extraordinary talent and person. He is greatly missed. What a gift humans can be.

Russell Vought should be impeached The two-time director of the Office of Management and Budget has been two-timing Congress, making spending cuts that lawmakers rejected.

When I started Democracy Docket in 2020, I had no idea how to build a pro-democracy platform. But I knew that the legacy media was failing democracy. Their focus was on their corporate owners and commercial advertisers, not the public they served. newsletters.democracydocket.com/why-im-askin...

Been telling y’all. Tipping point.

The late great ROBIN WILLIAMS — born 75yrs ago today — as a Denver Bronco’s Cheerleader in 1979. Always missed.

“The moral of the story is Stephen Miller is a terrible neighbor, on a mission to take away our first amendment rights.” From @FriendsofUSAID: www.instagram.com/reel/Da_jjeu...

"There is a huge amount of animosity, every single day, thrown at trans kids,” Joseph Pollard replied, voice rising. “The whole fucking country. The whole fucking administration, every single fucking day.”

Every State should be doing this. We know he's going to interfere in the election because he knows if we win, it's the end of his regime.

It’s PorchFest weekend here in Tacoma, a free all-ages walkable music festival where 100s of bands play on residential lawns and porches, and this year it’s lowkey antifascist fashion show. Just saw a young woman with a shirt that said “I.C.E. CAN GARGLE MY BALLS.” The youth are alright.

Remembering the late, great, Oscar-nominated JAMES GARNER - who left us 12yrs ago today, aged 86.

Why can’t Gov Andy Beshear just appoint a new Senator to replace Mitch McConnell unless they provide proof of life? Just appoint someone and have the GOP fight it after like they do to Dems.

If you are asking how to support my work, I have only one ask: Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket and share its content. Thanks. demdock.com/4w6emld

Good morning! Today is a good day to make Good Trouble.

Mitch McConnell is dead. Prove me wrong.

07.17.2026 | NYC, NY Anti-ICE "Good Trouble" March: Immigration advocates rallied at Foley Sq, then marched to 26 Federal Plaza, placing flowers in the fence surrounding the federal building housing Manhattan's ICE offices and immigration court. 🎥 Kevin RC Wilson @FreedomNTV

This the internet everybody wants.

One reason to care about state supreme courts: They are only defender of abortion rights in some places. In Kansas, Wyoming, Missouri, New Mexico, justices who ruled in favor of abortion access are on ballot this year. And Right is going after them. Time to learn more—I covered all states:

@mayor.lacity.gov we want

LA! Check your parking ticket. 👇

After listening to the president’s rambling address, I want him to know that the SAVE America Act is going NOWHERE in the Senate. It belongs in the trash with the rest of Donald Trump’s conspiracy theories. America, use your vote & your voice to save our democracy. 🇺🇸

John Lewis never hesitated to speak truth to power. Six years after his passing, we honor his work in pushing our nation toward racial equity and serving as the conscience of the Congress. Let’s continue the work of Good Trouble in his honor.

National Day of Action tomorrow in Maine. Pierce Park in Bangor and Monument Square in Portland, 3pm.

OSSOFF: I heard a president who is, as always, focused on his personal shame and humiliation, and above all, focused on his personal fear of the accountability that will come when we win this fall

The only election interference happening in this country is coming straight from the White House, and no amount of pathetic late night rambling from a failing, fading president will change anyone’s mind

Just four Republican senators defecting could end this nightmare. Remember that for when it's over and we're all told to turn the page and be friends again.

Trump will lie about the 2020 election. Trump will lie about the 2026 election. But, if Trump claims powers he does not have, or tries to undermine free and fair election, we will sue and we will win. If you doubt me, take a look at my record in beating him and his allies in court.

“equal parts pathetic and dangerous” describes this whole administration and current timeline

This is the language of abusers.

I will vote NO on Attorney General nominee Todd Blanche. The President’s personal lawyer cannot also be the country’s lawyer.

SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov: “Here’s what’s gonna happen tonight — the world’s most famous sore loser will deliver a primetime presidential sour grapes 🍇 address to pursue his 6yo grievances about the 2020 election while his war spirals out of control and the cost of living continues to rise.”

Congressman James Walkinshaw states that any Senator who votes to confirm Todd Blanche will be complicit in the #Epstein coverup.

Hal Williams, ‘227’ star and ‘Sanford and Son’ regular, has died at 91 variety.com/2026/tv/news...

BREAKING: In a win for Kansas voters, a court blocked a state law that would disqualify late-arriving mail ballots. The ruling, which marks a first since SCOTUS rejected a GOP challenge to grace periods, allows Kansas to count mail ballots that arrive up to three days after Election Day.

This hurts my heart. She was a relentless fighter for justice. Such a beautiful and caring soul. She will most definitely be missed. 🙏🏾

No science fiction could have prepared us for just how stupid the end of the world can be. "The environment was on the brink of collapse, and so, rather than deal with that, we burned what fuel we had left getting computers to scam each other for money."

We all know this still stinks to high heaven. Gov. Andy Beshear says he still hasn’t received an official update from Sen. Mitch McConnell. “I’ve had no official response. Nothing sent to our office, no letter, no email.”

Epstein survivor: We urge Senators Tillis and Cornyn to vote no on Todd Blanche’s nomination.

OSSOFF: “.. Isn’t it humiliating to be unable to answer this question? To have to indulge the President’s delusions?”

Happy 98th Birthday to the lovely Nancy Olson, talented Oscar-nominated actress of film, stage, and TV, as well as the last surviving cast member of SUNSET BOULEVARD (1950). She was #BOTD on 7/14/1928.

It is very important to state things plainly & directly & repeatedly. Euphemism provides places for your opponents to hide & too much rhetorical architecture for false credulity and/or misunderstanding.

Sen. DURBIN: This nation deserves an Attorney General who loves the Constitution more than he loves the President. Mr. Blanche, you have proven beyond a reasonable doubt you are not that person.

Good morning! We are not powerless. In fact, we hold the power to change everything for the better. Let your voice be heard and we will win.

Any death caused by ICE agents is unacceptable. This is what happens when you give ICE a blank check with zero oversight and accountability. My Uniform Standards for Federal Law Enforcement Act would establish a clear, consistent use-of-force policy across all federal agencies. (1/2)
