Trump has been pressuring Republican-controlled states to gerrymander their congressional maps ahead of the 2026 midterms. So far, 7 states have obliged. Our redistricting map tracks all the latest updates LIVE:

Every damn day. It seems that so many Republicans and religious leaders are anti-gay because they are trying to suppress what is inside of them. And it all keeps coming out in the most horrific ways.

They tried to do it in the dark, but the light got there first. Acting AG Todd Blanche quietly posted a memo to shield Trump from IRS audits forever. Sen. Ron Wyden caught it within hours, exposing it as completely invalid. Read how the scheme collapsed: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/roundup-gr...

In this episode I explain how a made up legal doctrine that says federal courts should not alter state voting rules, district maps, or election procedures too close to an election has been weaponized against Black voters and Democrats. youtu.be/InDAklMpVao?...

🚨 BEHIND CLOSED DOORS 🚨 They know destroying the US Forest Service is illegal, which is why they are trying to rush it through without a fight. Don't let them. Flood Congress with letters in 2 clicks right here: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

MAGA, the world's weakest, most brittle, fragile, porcelain teacups, brayed against cancel culture but continue cancelling anyone who offends their fickle, decaying King and Daddy Donald Trump. Colbert will be remembered well. Trump? Not so much.

Seriously, ALL of GOP Reps who’ve lost their primaries need to vote with the Dems and kick Johnson the FUCK OUT of the Speakership immediately

SEN. TILLIS (R): “These people don't deserve restitution. Many of them deserve to be in prison. This is just stupid on stilts. Republicans need to speak up. This is beyond the pale… This is bad policy, bad timing, bad politics.” (H/T @acyn.bsky.social )

Minnesota prosecutors just charged a SECOND ICE agent. Christian Castro allegedly shot a Venezuelan immigrant… and now faces assault charges himself. The immunity era may be cracking.

39/ The Tech Bros & their allies are obsessed with San Francisco btw. bsky.app/profile/jenn...

This is how democratic backsliding happens. Not with a single rupture, but with decisions that narrow the tools that protect equal representation and widen the space for discrimination to operate.

Curious: how many non violent offenders are in Colorado prisons for non violent offenses? Do they get pardons too?

Disgraceful. Absolutely disgraceful. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

This plan is absolute madness. Building a data center that is SIXTY SQUARE MILES in mountain west drought land which on paper will raise the temperature of the entire area by 5-12 DEGREES F is mental Unless the reality show is to create an American Aral Sea www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

I often say that the fight for democracy is the fight of our generation. But let me be clear, if you aren’t fighting for Black voting rights right now then you aren’t really fighting for democracy.

Anyone familiar with VA budget reconciliation rules? Could the state assembly get a Supreme Court age limit bill into the budget?

MacFarlane: People in Virginia voted by the millions. Their voices were heard and now have been silenced. And you want to talk about what starts a political wave in a year like this: a mass of people who think their voices have been silenced. That doesn't stop a wave that fuels one.

The humiliation for Trump is playing out on the world stage. Iran’s foreign minister is now holding public talks with country after country—Japan, Saudi Arabia, India, Brazil, the UK, Italy, South Korea, and more. Allies are adjusting to a world in which America appears weakened and isolated.

NEW: Hours after ProPublica reported on how a federal probe of a drugs-for-votes scheme in Puerto Rico's prisons got quashed after the 2024 elections, some of the territory’s political leaders made public calls for investigations into the allegations.

For years, Hungary's Viktor Orban gerrymandered his opposition out of power. But in the end, all the dirty tricks in the world couldn't save him from sinking approval ratings and massive voter turnout. There's a lesson here for us.

The U.S. has spent billions to lose a war that enriches its oligarchs, impoverishes the citizenry, sabotages its alliances, and strengthens its enemies. Empires have risen and failed before, but to my knowledge no state has ever chosen to kill its own power. snyder.substack.com/p/on-superpo...

It’s staggering How swiftly states in the South can still move to stymie Black voters And how ready they were to do so

Today we are launching a new podcast! As a certified cynic, the line “investigative journalism is an act of optimism” got me.

Someone is insider trading on crude oil shorts using Iran War announcements from the White House…and making a LOT of money. You better bet we’ll be investigating ⬇️

DEVELOPING: DOJ is investigating $2.6B in suspiciously timed oil trades made right before Trump's Iran decisions. The corruption is finally catching up to them. Please like and share to get the word out! www.adamkinzinger.com/p/breaking-t...

Most serious people already acknowledged that Iran could withstand a blockade for longer than we would be willing to maintain one. Anyone who thought this blockade was a good idea should be fired immediately due to lack of basic analytical ability.

Many of you are asking how you can help me. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket for free and share its content with everyone you know. Thanks. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

The studies found serious side effects caused by the COVID and shingles vaccines were rare.

Kennedy's goal here is consistent with all of his other policies aimed at undermining proven health interventions: he believes the people who benefit from them are defective and he wants them culled from the population. It's comic book villain logic, specifically Viltrumite logic.

“Fascism begins the moment a ruling class, fearing the people may use their political democracy to gain economic democracy, begins to destroy political democracy in order to retain its power of exploitation and special privilege.” —Tommy Douglas, the guy who got Canada Universal Healthcare

So... the Justice Dept just walked back a public statement from Todd Blanche about the Southern Poverty Law Center The SPLC alleged Blanche made "false statement" about lack of evidence the SPLC shared info w/ law enforcment Here's the clean-up statement.. just filed in court

NEWS: The U.S. Supreme Court has temporarily RESTORED access to the abortion pill mifepristone via telehealth and mail—pausing a lower court ruling.

What would a typical worker earn today if their wages had grown as fast as CEO pay over the past 50 years? Take a guess and watch this video to find out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lPPsrAMtTI

Can he say, 'Freedom of Speech'? By the way, 86 is not a death threat, dummy.

“The name of [an ICE] officer accused of strangling a man in Fitchburg during an immigration arrest has been revealed in court, despite the federal government’s attempts to keep his identity a secret. The officer’s name is David Jackson, an acting supervisory detention and deportation officer.”

BREAKING: A conservative court packed with Trump-appointed judges just ruled to ROLL BACK access to the abortion pill. This is a page straight out of extremist Republicans’ anti-abortion playbook. Let me be clear: the abortion pill is safe and effective. We must fight back.

BREAKING: We're suing Louisiana officials for suspending the state's primary election after voting has already begun. On the heels of a Supreme Court decision that eviscerated protections for voters of color, elected officials jumped at the chance to disenfranchise people — we won't allow it.

The Fifth Circuit just told millions of women that three judges know better than the FDA, their doctors, and 25 years of evidence. They don't. This restriction on medication abortion is a nationwide abortion restriction, full stop. I have no intention of letting this stand.

Truer (sadder) words have never been spoken.

In the 24 hours since the Supreme Court's majority ruled to demolish the Voting Rights Act's remaining protections, Louisiana and Tennessee have already signaled that they'll redraw their congressional maps with the clear effect of shutting Black voters out.

The Voting Rights Act ended 150 years of Jim Crow and finally gave truth to the 15th Amendment. In a democracy, the faith of the people is born of a belief that they can participate in its processes and benefit from its success.

JUST READ: Separation of Church & Hate by John Fugelsang Like Fugelsang, I was raised Christian, but the religion I grew up with bears little resemblance to what is practiced by many I know, so this book comes as a breath of fresh air.  a.co/d/01ctVVuc

Only the best.

📌If only there'd been a ballroom ...

MAGA voters bolting from tRump. Tariffs explode food, gas & housing costs. Mass deportations ripping apart families—even their own immigrant “family” workers. One ex-supporter: “biggest mistake of my life.” Another: “massive deception.” Buyer's remorse. The cult is cracking. mcsp.short.gy/f3ju

Is it just a coincidence that the DOJ indicted James Comey today after a judge ruled that his daughter Maurene Comey’s termination lawsuit can move forward? 🤔 Probably just a coincidence, huh? Probably also just a coincidence that she was a lead prosecutor on the Epstein case too.
