We’re never going to live on Mars. We’re never going to live on the Moon. There is no Planet B. We need to take care of our magical mystical miraculous planet like it’s the only home we will ever have. Because it is.

A text sent to Don Jr from Julian Assange about election rigging lies way back in 2016.

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 and share its content. Thanks. demdock.com/4w6emld

To every New Yorker: this rule is not yet in effect. The earliest it could take effect is Sept. 18, 2026. New York City will use every tool at our disposal to fight this attack on immigrant families and the communities that make our city the greatest on earth.

I still can't get over the fact that our politicians get $558 per week for meals... WTAF? While kids get cut off SNAP 2,232 per month, just for meals. I will be mad about this for a long time. They have the nerve to deny low income kids food

Pete, who won Iowa in the primary, is back to speak truth to power. #ThePeteEffect

In 2020, Trump lied before the election, lied after the election and -- when he lost in court -- incited a violent insurrection at the Capitol. Right now, he is lying and losing in court ahead of 2026. He is going to escalate and we need to be ready.

The 2020 election was not rigged and no votes were changes. Donald Trump's reaction was to sue and incite a violent insurrection in the Capitol. Donald Trump is once again laying the groundwork to try to overturn elections he is about to lose. We need to be prepared and to fight back.

Here are the top 5 dogs of the week!

Congresswoman AOC has introduced a bill that would ban Supreme Court Justices from accepting lavish gifts from the ultra wealthy. Love that, but what I find insane is that this isn’t already illegal.

A statement from WIRED leadership.

We watched Trump's dangerous and deranged speech so you don't have to. Here are the moments you need to know about:

He should have gone to prison for pressuring Brad Raffensperger to “find” 11,780 votes. That’s the very definition of election interference. We all heard the call.

Fascism is here. If you’re not alarmed you’re not paying attention. “Left-wing political terrorism” will mean those who oppose the regime — while actual right-wing extremism is allowed to grow and thrive. We are very far off the cliff, folks.

“She has a new boss. Two days new. His name is Todd Blanche. A demand lands on her desk. Write a memo recommending that the Department restore the gun rights of a celebrity, a friend of the President, a man convicted of domestic violence (spoiler alert- it’s Mel Gibson).”

So what changed? The Senate passed the Epstein Transparency Act - unanimously. Now, some of those very same senators are lining up to confirm Todd Blanche — the same man who's been leading the Epstein cover-up. We deserve better.

TINA SMITH: Researchers in MN made a breakthrough in childhood cancer in Black kids with a grant. But it seems that according to your proposed rule, this type of research wouldn't allowed bc it's 'DEI.' VOUGHT: We are against DEI policies. We have intended to rid of them whenever we possibly can.

Low-T is now a campaign talking point and a problem to be solved in the military. Pushed by a guy who had a makeup studio installed at the Pentagon.

Additionally, it drives me crazy that the default position in this country is that being here undocumented is a crime. It’s not. Further, legal status isn’t a factor in whether someone should be murdered.

Their tiny wings carry the future of our planet. Protect bees. Plant more flowers. Avoid harmful pesticides. Together, we can keep Earth blooming for generations to come. Let them live. Because when bees thrive, life thrives.

It’s not about the burritos. This year’s spread of Cyclospora – better known as the ‘explosive diarrhea parasite’ – is a symptom of federal budget cuts and a scary vision of how America deals with a health crisis in the future. Read more from @gabydvj.bsky.social: buff.ly/3ZYSuUK

A reminder for Todd Blanche and any U.S. Senator who thinks he’s fit to serve as Attorney General.

Now they’re trying to convince us that a data center is not a data center?

Speaker Johnson frames reconciliation as debt reduction. It cuts taxes for the wealthy and slashes healthcare for everyone else. That's not debt reduction. That's redistribution. #FundHealthcareNotWars

The greatest asset on Earth isn't oil, gold, or diamonds—it's clean, drinkable water.

We haven’t confirmed this; but if true it would be one step in the right direction from their previous capitulations!

This Administration is engaged in the largest criminal cover-up in American history.   Todd Blanche cannot serve as AG. Full stop.

THIS 👇 HERE TOO.......

And that's the problem. We know these people are unqualified. We know they are lying. It's on the record. Yet, no charges filed, no nominations withdrawn, no consequences of any kind. In fact, just about all of them get the position!

Iran calculated $9B in profits from market manipulation by "individuals close to Trump," mainly Barron, Kushner & Witkoff, formally requesting $4.5B of that sum be allocated to Iran through intermediaries🇺🇸

RFK Jr. made Cyclospora tracking optional, gutting a CDC program used to detect outbreaks. Now cyclosporiasis has hit 31 states. That's what happens when you dismantle the systems designed to keep us safe. www.npr.org/2026/07/12/n...

MAGA Mike Johnson and House Republicans are gearing up for another reconciliation bill. They’re trying to fast-track billions more for defense, and if history is any guide, healthcare will once again be the piggy bank. The first votes start this week. #FundHealthcareNotWars

Call your Senators now! (202) 224-3121. It takes two mins; you can leave a message “As your constituent, I’m counting on you to vote no on Todd Blanche’s nomination.”

Isn't it weird that this week a currently sitting president had to pay a woman MILLIONS of dollars for *raping* (and defaming) her—and the media has forgotten all about it? There was a time that this would have been the ONLY story—until the rapist was driving from office.

🚨BREAKING: In his confirmation hearing for attorney general Wednesday, Todd Blanche claimed he would “follow the law” on sending armed federal agents to voting sites but pointedly stopped short of pledging not to deploy them. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

"This is actually exhibit number 55,299 of Trump's fundamental mental unfitness and moral unfitness to be president. If he doesn't believe this, and he's just saying this to be manipulative, that's psychopathic. If he actually believes any of this, he's psychotic. He may well be both."

Every forest destroyed, every fossil fuel burned, tightens the noose around our own future. Climate change is not a punishment from Earth. It is the result of human decisions. The ice is melting. The water is rising. And time is running out. We still have the power to change course.💚

This is a great read about why the "Ocean Cleanup" project didn't work as well as hoped. There are so many parallels with other well-intentioned efforts -- including in the climate space -- that don't pan out because folks ignored the science.... therevelator.org/why-ocean-cl...
