We currently have a president who is so childishly crude and grotesque that newspapers consider it indecent to accurately describe the video he recently posted, and TV shows think it is indecent to show it. But many Americans are OK that the Oval Office is home to the nation's crassest toddler.

We love our Marines and owe a debt of gratitude to Camp Pendleton, but next time, the Vice President and the White House shouldn’t be so reckless with people’s lives for their vanity projects. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/19/u...

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear. At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them. By @nicolefoy.bsky.social

The most reckless, stupid administration E-V-E-R. Nothing comes close.

OK, so our "Secretary of War" currently has two big priorities: (1) murdering innocent fishermen in the Caribbean, and (2) endangering the lives of commuters in Southern California. Perhaps, we are seeing one of the downsides to having a drunk TV talk show chatterbox running our military.

She was legally declared a victim of a crime in a court of law, she was not an "accuser," she was a VICTIM

This is one of my favorite pictures from yesterday, Governor Pritzker with the protesters... #NoKings

Hundreds of new homes for veterans are coming to California through voter-approved Prop 1 funding. 707 permanent supportive homes — including 231 for veterans — will be built across the state through the Homekey+ program. California stands with those who’ve served our country.

I keep seeing ads for Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner on 60 Minutes tonight to discuss the "peace deal." Wonder if they'll update it with the news today that the ceasefire has been broken? "We taped this interview before the entire deal fell apart, but here it is anyhow..."

If you are confident that a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, you stop it and board it. That way, you have evidence. If you don't really care if a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, but you just want to kill people, you blow the boat up. That way, the irrelevant evidence is gone.

Yes indeed!

as far as just messaging goes that video is probably the most embarrassing thing any president has done on the world stage in my life and the fact that the sunday shows wont even describe it? total abdication of their responsibility

KARL: “Why haven’t you sworn in Adelita Grijalva?” SPEAKER JOHNSON: “I’m following the Pelosi precedent with Letlow.” KARL: “But that was the date Letlow requested.” SPEAKER JOHNSON: 🤷🏼 #EpsteinFilesCoverUp

It’s inevitable that at some point, people get sick or injured. What isn’t inevitable is the sick and injured being unable to afford needed treatments. That’s a policy choice. I’m fighting to keep health care costs from surging, and I urge my colleagues to do the same.

The so-called Homeland Security Secretary is a corrupt and malignant fraud. This video she sanctioned is fake. Manipulated by cowards who hide behind masks while violating the law.

Okay I cannot stop laughing at this one

Vice President JD Vance used a speech at a military base in California on Saturday to attack Democrats over the government shutdown, as people in cities across the U.S. gathered to protest the Trump administration.

LEFT: Citizens assembling in Washington, DC to deride Donald J. Trump with a protest. RIGHT: Citizens assembling in Washington, DC to celebrate Donald J. Trump with a military birthday parade.

Oh it’s not appropriate for your program to air the president wearing a crown and shitting on American citizens? You’ll talk about it in euphemisms? Maybe call it the “crown video” and ignore the shitting part? Because that’s appropriate? Tell me, was it appropriate for the president to do it?

Democracy in action, Illinois. Proud of our state for peacefully showing up and speaking out together in one voice to fight back against Donald Trump’s takeover of our democracy.

Wut

No evidence. No riots. Ted Cruz is deeply damaged, dishonest trash.

ZERO arrests at No Kings in NYC. (And the NYPD isn’t notorious for being sympathetic with people anti-Trump.) This proves what shameless liars Speaker Mike Johnson & Karoline Leavitt are to slander the participants as violent anarchists.

Maduro accuses WH of seeking regime change, stating the U.S. has sent in covert operations via the CIA under the guise of fighting drugs. He's declared “maximum preparedness” in response to the U.S. military presence in the Caribbean, and warned of serious national mobilization if attacked.

The president has one core job under the Constitution: to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.” Not thwarted, diverted, blunted, revised or ignored. Faithfully executed.

BASH: Santos pleaded guilty to defrauding constituents of hundreds of thousands of dollars, money he will no longer be required to pay back. Is the commutation acceptable to you? BRITT: What I appreciate is President Trump's commitment to the American people. We saw disarray under President Biden.

We’re not a serious country anymore

Best I've seen.

UPDATE: COLOMBIA’s President says 🇺🇸 government (Trump) “committed murder” and bombed a fisherman with no ties to drugs “The boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure”

Trump on the government shutdown: "We're cutting Democrat programs that we didn't want. They made one mistake, they didn't realize that gives me the right to cut programs that Republicans didn't want—giveaways, welfare programs—and we're doing that and cutting them permanently."

This is an international disaster. They targeted a disabled fishing boat in Colombian territorial waters and killed fishermen.

In Portland, Oregon, ICE and DHS opened fire on peaceful “No Kings” protesters using pepper balls and tear gas. Amidst the chaos, heavily armed federal agents disappeared multiple individuals.

No Kings Jefferson City, MO

Is that Jonathan Karl blaming democrats for the shutdown? Corporate media is ridiculous.

On No Kings Day, I wrote about the long road ahead to restoring and rebuilding democracy and how we can start now. If you want to receive this and all Democracy Docket premium content, while also supporting pro-democracy media, join today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

We love America. We just hate kings.

Sanders: It is in danger when we have a president who grossly violates the constitution by accepting gifts from foreign leaders including a $400 million plane from the royal family of Qatar and then allows that family to build an air force facility in Idaho.

I was told today would be full of violence from the left and that everyone “hated America.” I saw peaceful patriots who love America and hate racist fascist rapist President Epstein.

The San Diego Police Department is reporting no arrests related to the No Kings protests! Amazing work, everyone. It’s great to see police departments across the country sharing similar updates, peaceful protests everywhere.
