Yup. It’s what Putin did. It’s what Orban did. It’s what so many of us warned Trump would do and were called hysterics. It’s heartbreaking.

"It appears the State of the Union was the marker for the White House to launch directly into campaign mode. Much of that mode centers on trying to defang Trump’s weaknesses with attacks on Democrats" February 26, 2026 open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

“I heard the officer say ‘that ain’t shit’.” NASHVILLE — ICE shatter a car window in front of a newborn, refuse to look at man’s license & work visa… drag him out of his car, hit him, mock him for being Guatemalan (he’s from Mexico), laugh when he begs to say goodbye.

Supreme Court rules AGAINST Trump and his tariffs. Not only that, Trump's illegal actions are grounds for removal. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc... #trumptariffs #supremecourt #impeachremoveconvict

"... a year into Trump’s second term, it is increasingly clear that as his regime focuses on committing the United States to white Christian nationalism, the country is becoming increasingly isolated from the rest of the world, and its own economy is weakening." open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

"A report the organizers of the Munich Security Conference released before this year’s event named the elephant in the room: 'the changing role of the United States in the international system.” It's like a wrecking ball destroying 80 years of international order. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

The Office of the President is powerful. The Constitution is even more powerful. This President’s Day, we’re reminded that in our system of checks and balances, even the President must answer to the rule of law.

"DHS and the violence of federal agents have exacerbated rather than silenced opposition to the Trump administration, causing a crisis for it as the American people increasingly turn against it." February 13, 2026 open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

It is becoming alarmingly clear. The Trump Administration is steering the country away from democracy and into an "authoritarian international private world in which deals are done secretly without any democratic accountability," February 12, 2026 open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Walz: "The federal government needs to pay for what they broke here. There's going to be accountability on things that happened, but one of them is the incredible and immense cost borne by the people of this state. The federal government needs to be responsible."

The New York Times just launched a new "newsletter about the law and the courts." They are calling it "The Docket." The Times may not care that Democracy Docket has been publishing "On the Docket" and "Daily Docket" for years, but I believe our 400,000 subscribers might. More on this tomorrow.

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

Ossoff: We would be naive not to expect dirty tricks. This man tried to steal the presidency when he lost it the first time. The best insurance against dirty tricks is landslide margins of victory.

Once again they are trying to change the narrative. It is time to believe your eyes and ears, not their propaganda. youtube.com/shorts/Puvo8...
