This video on the rise of Russ Vought is based on scores of interviews, thousands of pages of emails and dozens of hours of videos and recordings of private briefings given by Vought, most of which have not been previously reported.

Pam Bondi looks to me like she has bulimia cheeks. Anyone else agree?

Daniel Goldman shd give a mandatory master class for ALL reps on how to be heard over someone aggressively interrupting/talking over. It's not about being louder, but slowing the pacing of words to land btwn the words of the yeller. He probably knows this from time as a prosecutor. Great job!

Azerbaijani President Aliyev's authoritarian regime has jailed two US-affiliated journalists for the crime of truthful reporting. I hope the VP — who lectured our allies about free speech — got a commitment for their release. Or is free speech only for his ideological allies?

Can they do it or is pride and the hypnosis so strong they will go down that wrong road?

West Virginia’s Republican chief election official denied DOJ’s demand for full access to the state’s voter roll, rejecting what he described as an unlawful attempt to seize the sensitive personal data of individual voters by the Trump administration. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I believe Orange Bam Bam was working on a little chubby all day watching her.

I wonder how a human being finds themselves in that chair in front of the watching world in a moment of such gravity, so completely bereft of empathy, so seemingly unencumbered by other people’s suffering, and so strident in the face of accountability... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/dear-pam-b...

Donald Trump is stripping critical public health funding with one goal in mind: harming states he doesn’t like. It’s a slap in the face to Illinoisans. We will not stand by idly as Trump illegally cancels the Congressionally-allocated funding we are owed.

Some children in Dilley were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide, parents told ProPublica. They said kids lost their appetites after finding worms and mold on their food, had trouble sleeping, and were constantly sick.

True.

Is he comparing a bag of cocaine left behind in a locker to decades of systematic child rape?

TFP WTF

Dis biiiiiii!

HUGE! He got that done! youtube.com/shorts/8AfRk...

🚨NEW INVESTIGATION: How ICE's detention center buying spree is bailing out the commercial real estate industry & being facilitated by a handful of powerful real estate brokerages — including one with financial ties to Trump’s Secretary of Commerce, Howard Lutnick.

$345 ain’t chump change! The so-called Save America Act will force 21 million American citizens to produce passports or birth certificates just to register to vote. Most don’t have them already. Turning paperwork into a barrier is definitely a poll tax. #HandsOffHerVote social.demcast.com/s/NYO7K7EL

Likely-historic photo by NBC News of all the Epstein victims asked to raise their hands if they've not yet been asked to meet with the DOJ as Bondi testifies in foreground

🚨Military members - Under SAVE 2.0, your military ID wouldn't be enough to register to vote. Service members born overseas could be blocked. They're attacking those who defend our democracy. PROTECT the right to vote for our troops. #HandsOffHerVote social.demcast.com/s/z1TxF7R0

Since Trump returned to office, the Education Department’s civil rights office has not resolved a single racial harassment investigation. It sends a message that “people impacted by racial discrimination ... don’t matter,” one attorney said. (Published Dec. 2025)

"Moving on" from holding child rapists accountable for their actions is a hella stance for Republicans to take. Then again, kids shot dead in elementary schools doesn't move them either. No abortions, but once born, not even the Republican Women give a fuck about them. Vote Blue At Every Level.

It’s not too late for states and Congress to stop Trump from subverting the midterms. I recently explained three things states can do and four things Congress should insist on in order to protect the 2026 midterm elections. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/its-...

Hahahahahahahaha! I think he's talking about another type of salad bar

What the hell is Trump’s DOJ hiding?

Khanna: There were two rounds of redactions. There was the original FBI redactions… and they did a second round of redactions at the DOJ. What they’re showing members now is the unredacted version of the DOJ’s redactions—not the original FBI redactions. They’re in blatant violation of the law.

Stinking liars, all of them.

NEW: The unsealing of the FBI’s search warrant affidavit for its raid of a Fulton County, Georgia, election facility prompted swift condemnation from voting rights advocates, election experts and former federal officials. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

BREAKING: @carolleonnig.bsky.social reports a federal grand jury in Washington, D.C. declined to indict Sens. Mark Kelly and Elissa Slotkin on charges of seditious conspiracy Tuesday, according to a person familiar with the proceedings.

The Stillaguamish Tribe has been buying back ceded lands for floodplain restoration, benefiting salmon and nearby farmers. “It is a bit of a bitter pill to swallow to buy back the land that we essentially traded for the resource, the fish, but it's what we have to do to get things back on track."

Bloomington police announce arrests in sex trafficking bust: "Rashad Johnson out of Maple Grove. This is the most disturbing arrest that we've had here. He is a backgrounder for ICE, Homeland Security, and federal agencies."

Epstein ordered 330 gallons of sulfuric acid the day he found out the FBI was investigating him. Sulfuric acid dissolves corpses, including bones. 330 gallons is enough for 15 years of desalination, so don't claim that's why Epstein ordered it and that the timing was a coincidence.

Da wut? Huh? Again, please.

Yes we do!

Rep. Jasmine Crockett after Ghislaine Maxwell hearing: „All this administration cares about is protecting the powerful and protecting pedophiles. And a 34-count convicted felon is still being shielded from accountability for a child sex-trafficking ring. I don’t recognize where we are anymore.”

The guy who’s running for Senate in N.C. bows to Trump.

Hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars have been spent on body cameras, sold as a revolution in transparency and accountability. Instead, police departments routinely refuse to release footage — even when officers kill. (Published 2023)
