“The president should be removed from office because he is plainly insane.” I mean, there is no war in Portland. There just isn’t. You can’t & won’t avoid reporting this story. But you’ll still find a way to try to report it in a way that gives him the benefit of the doubt. And that’s wrong.

History is like science and free speech. It doesn't exist for you to agree or disagree with it, it exists for you to listen to it.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

I’d really like to know what Joe Manchin thinks about … … said no one ever.

Happy anniversary to this beauty! Release date: 9/19/70 “Southern man, better keep your head Don't forget what your good book said Southern change gonna come at last Now your crosses are burning fast” #NeilYoung #NowSpinning #VinylSky #VinylCommunity #NowPlaying #MusicSky

When Fox can't ignore it, you know it's bad.

They’re going to fire a US attorney because they couldn’t find evidence for a crime that was manufactured by the administration? Banana republic shit

This will be called "evidence of consciousness of guilt" in subsequent criminal trials.

History rhymes a bit too well sometimes.

When an authoritarian, thin-skinned president forbids me to criticize him, some hear that as a threat, but I hear it as a challenge.

There's no excuse for the Vice President of the United States to use a heinous killing as an occasion to baselessly frame political opponents as accomplices to murder while threatening to use the power of the government to attack them. This dangerous rhetoric will only fan the flames.

“If you can’t honor a man by quoting him directly because his own words seem disparaging to his legacy, then perhaps you shouldn’t try to honor him at all.” Watch my latest here: www.youtube.com/live/2Mv50KZ...

Next they'll be rewriting textbooks to say Japanese American internment camps were delightful summer resorts.

Jimi playing with The Ronettes, 1966

This was taken at the Peppermint Lounge. Jimi and the Ronettes were members of Joey Dee and the Starliters ("Peppermint Twist") at the time. Other famous members of that band at various points were the Young Rascals and Joe Pesci. Yes, *that* Joe Pesci.

Bass: We just heard that the administration’s experiment failed. The raids that were happening in Los Angeles—the random pulling and snatching of people off the streets based on the language they spoke, their appearance, where they work—the court has said that can no longer happen.

Never miss an opportunity to speak the truth! ✊🏽

Pam Bondi says that the missing minute from the Epstein tape is normal because they change the tape every night at 11:58 since 1999 and every night has a missing minute. So everyone knows there’s no recording at 11:58 for one minute every night? Not sure that helps quell concerns.

Bass: We have to stop this mess. The idea of having troops go through the park and disrupt a children’s summer camp, or drive through the streets and just pick people off… So our city attorney is leading the way. We are filing a lawsuit and calling for an injunction to stop this.

“What Kelly didn’t mention, but which has since become well known, is that the Weather Service employee whose job it was to make sure those warnings got traction — Paul Yura, the long-serving meteorologist in charge of “warning coordination” — had recently taken an unplanned early retirementamid..”

The devastation in Texas is heartbreaking. My heart is with those who have lost a loved one, especially those experiencing the loss of a child. Minnesota stands with Texas and our administration has been in contact with officials on the ground to offer any help we can. apnews.com/article/texa...

Tried to read about the Jan 6 terrorist who now works for the Justice Department but it was behind a pay wall. Everything wrong with the USA in one sentence.

Wishing everyone a happy Fourth of July! 249 years since we declared independence from a king, the work of living up to our founding promise is more important than ever - and it calls on each of us to do what we can for our country.

The war on women by the GOP continues apace.

Congrats to Lisa Murkowski on voting for a bill that she herself admitted was not ready in hopes that the House would change it. Now it’ll become law. She had the power to stop it, and instead chose to become complicit. That’s her legacy.

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!" Social Security - "That's socialism!" Debt free education - "That's socialism!" Universal childcare - "That's socialism!" $1 trillion+ in tax cuts for the wealthy... "That's just how it is."

Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie. One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears. They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.

Tanden: Bill Clinton specifically opposed work requirements for Medicaid. He vetoed a bill that had work requirements for Medicaid. So, get your facts straight. You cannot hang this monstrosity on any Democrat.

Warnock: "I rise tonight in a moral moment in our nation ... if this awful budget were an EKG it would suggest that our nation has a heart problem and is in need of moral surgery."

Warnock: A budget is not just a fiscal document. A budget is a moral document. Show me your budget and I'll show you who you think matters and who doesn't. And if this awful budget were an EKG, it would suggest that our nation has a heart problem and is in need of moral surgery

How did this nondescript chain of warehouses find success? People either ❤️ Costco or hate it, how about you?

CHARLAMAGNE: “It’s crazy to me that ‘socialism’ is such a dirty word, when all it is is trying close the gap between the rich and the poor and make sure everybody has access to basic necessities... That why I like when @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social uses ‘affordability’.”

A government ban on Hungary’s Pride parade backfired Saturday as over 100,000 people marched through Budapest, far more than usual PM Viktor Orban warned people to stay away, threatening “clear legal consequences.” But the warnings only turned a modest event into a mass rally against his government

Mark and Melissa saw the humanity in everyone. Let’s honor them by doing the same.

In 2020, when I told people that I was building a pro-democracy media outlet, people thought I was kidding. When I told them that the fight for democracy was the fight of our time, they thought I was being overly dramatic. Well...here we are. Subscribe to Democracy Docket now. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0
