Facing near-certain failure in a chamber where they lack the votes to overcome a filibuster, GOP senators turned away from persuasion and toward performance — leaning into the most fringe narratives that have already taken hold within the Republican base. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Markets are useful for the same reason polls are useful: not because they’re flawless, but because they aggregate lots of views. The difference is investors back their opinions with cash. Stocks aren’t GDP, but they do reveal what people expect from here.

It’s no accident that six months after Republicans rushed their Missouri congressional gerrymander into law, it’s still unclear which map is in effect for the 2026 election. In fact, opponents of the gerrymander say that delay has been the goal all along. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

"I'm so proud of what I did." Debasing the military. Using it as a prop. Putting lives at risk. Breaking U.S. and international law. Committing war crimes. Pirating national assets. Achieving nothing.

Every senator who has supported the SAVE America Act, condoned Trump’s election lies, and stayed silent while Cruz spread conspiracy theories on the Senate floor is complicit. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

📽️NEW: The SAVE America Act isn't about securing free and fair elections — it's actually the opposite. It’s about stealing the 2026 midterms. Marc Elias breaks down exactly how this voter suppression bill works, and why millions of Americans could lose their right to vote👇 https://bit.ly/40GMHcz

Jerome Corsi — the figure behind Obama's birtherism conspiracies — is said to be playing a key role in the push for Trump's election takeover via executive order. And he believes a plan that would allow the president to unilaterally ban mail ballots and voting machines is “being prepared.”

The Pentagon said the Iran war cost $11 billion in the first week. But it's way way way more than that. Hundreds of billions more. Your family's share is thousands of dollars. And I've got receipts. Lemme youtubesplain: www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCF_...
