Van Hollen: I will just say that anybody who thinks we're on the way to authoritarianism is wrong. We are there

Swalwell: It's an awful day for what's supposed to be a free country. This is a mad king picking off each of his political enemies.

🚨BREAKING: Former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted on two criminal counts days after President Donald Trump ordered Attorney General Pam Bondi to pursue his perceived enemies more aggressively. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Nothing changes... except life into death.

Do we miss Joe? #politics

I ageee with @noahchauvin.bsky.social and Vik Amar. This is the correct test, though sympathetic as I am to the California legislation.

The antifa invasion of UN escalators was successful, despite the huge complications involved in finding the on-off switch at the top of the escalator then getting a GOP infiltrator to turn it off!

Nexstar and Sinclair are two large corporate behemoths. They are imposing their values upon the local affiliates. And they are putting their corporate interest above the public interest.

Banana Republic stuff.

New livery for Air Force One.. #political #humor

Trump is now using the livelihoods of our federal workers as coercive leverage while refusing to negotiate to keep the government open. Democrats will stand strong for the health care of the people and the rights of federal workers. My full statement:

🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨 JAMES COMEY NOT IN EPSTEIN FILES

A reminder that while Democracy Docket was exposing Bondi as a Trump loyalist, the Washington Post was telling us that she should be confirmed. Support independent, pro-democracy media. Subscribe to Democracy Docket now. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

Is this supposed to be a threat? They did this exact thing while the government was open

I’m so old that I remember when the DOJ was a serious agency. abcnews.go.com/Politics/new...

Democrat Adelita Grijalva wins US House special election in Arizona, delivering decisive signature for Epstein files push 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 more of this, please! www.cnn.com/2025/09/23/p...

While kids died in one of the deadliest flash floods we’ve seen in decades, the acting head of FEMA was missing in action. What a joke of “emergency response” from this Administration.

Political differences are inevitable. But here in America, violence is never, ever the answer. Everyone should be able to condemn the deadly attack against the ICE facility in Dallas.

They’re infuriated that they were denied an effortless ride to the top. Seems a fitting metaphor.

Wake up, America, or I fear we may not have elections in 2028.

NEW: Ed Martin, the head of the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) vague weaponization task force, in a recent letter threatened to open a criminal investigation into a now-retired FBI special agent who sued the far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones over Jones’ lies about a mass school shooting.

Congratulations to @jimmykimmel.com on his triumphant return! Last night he was pitch-perfect. Inspirational, self-reflective, gracious to his haters, championing the 1st Amendment & most importantly: FUNNY. (Shout-out to Robert DeNiro as the mob-boss head of the FCC)😆

Jimmy Kimmel's Monologue now has 14.3 MILLION VIEWS on YouTube. It would be a shame for you to share it www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1tj...

I told you this rapture thing ain’t happening; certainly not to those who want it so badly 🤣😬 www.the-express.com/news/weird-n...

CNN: The ratings are in for the first day. 6.26 million viewers on ABC. That was four times Jimmy Kimmel's average. And that's despite the show not even being available in a quarter of all American homes.

A study in Nature Climate Change shows that the ocean carbon sink unexpectedly declined in 2023 despite record-high sea surface temperatures (SSTs), primarily due to SST-driven outgassing of CO2 in the subtropics. 🌊 🧪

A very good and important reform that should be something all sides can embrace. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

All is now right with the world. ⚾️

Tylenol doesn't cause autism. Science has proven this—and we should always follow science. We shouldn't be following guidance from RFK, Jr., who has absolutely no background in science or health care. www.azfamily.com/2025/09/22/a...

Universal childcare wouldn't just relieve working families of a massive cost burden. It improves the whole economy. "There are a lot of reasons building a child care system that works for everyone is important to our children, to parents, to employers and to economic growth."

My God, this UN speech.

An Update: I received an email canceling my contract as a columnist at @startribune.com after sharing this story publicly. (I had written columns past the one-year contract already + been asked to continue on in July).

On this we agree wholeheartedly.

🚨BREAKING: Two registered Maine voters filed a motion to intervene in the U.S. Department of Justice’s lawsuit against the state Tuesday, aiming to stop what they call a “radical” federal overreach into their personal privacy. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

No evidence. No science. No solutions.   Just Trump peddling another dangerous lie — this time about Tylenol and autism — that sows chaos, scares parents, and puts our health at risk.

This is just evil. This will cause unimaginable damage and unnecessary suffering Someone close to me deals with children with autism every day. Proper diagnosis and treatment can make a world of difference. RFK Jr snake oil will destroy lives that could have been helped

What a country.

But, of course

Missing this guy today

No. No they should not. And California has had it with unaccountable, anonymous federal officers.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

That look Cleveland fans give commentators when they say the Guardians can’t win the whole damn thing.

Hahahahahahahahahahaha
