Just in case you were wondering…this is US.

Mike Johnson is refusing to swear in newly elected AZ Congresswoman Adelina Grijalva after she said she would the sign the discharge petition to force the DOJ to release the Epstein files. Grijalva will be the 218 signature which would override Johnson. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory 2paragraphs.com

I feel very strongly that we must use the next three years to build a new opposition movement. I tried to lay out my reasons and what I think we need to do to make it happen. Please watch, comment, and share. youtu.be/_GUgnpAYMCc

I stand with PBS. I stand with NPR. I stand with Stephen Colbert. I stand with Jimmy Kimmel. I stand with the First Amendment. PERIOD.* *Also #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files

When President Donald Trump told Texas Republicans to find him five more GOP seats in Congress this summer, they hastily redrew their map to deliver exactly what he wanted. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/the...

Hurricane Erin is now a rare Category 5. The storm is forecast to at least double or triple in size next week. cnn.it/4mGNDqd

Dear Alaskans, Just because the US does not participate in the International Criminal Court, doesn’t mean you can’t stuff Putin in a diplomatic sack and mail him to The Hague. Sincerely The World

Worked for me! :)

I have been the subject of many spurious accusations and politically motivated attacks, but this one is in a class by itself. According to Tulsi Gabbard — the nation’s top intelligence official — my refusal to post on Twitter is being reviewed by the Department of Justice as evidence of wrongdoing.

We should have the House right now. Let me say it again: we should have the House. This ain’t just a Texas problem, it’s a national problem. They’re stealing seats to keep power, and that’s how we ended up with Speaker Johnson instead of Speaker Jeffries. They can’t win fair, so they cheat.

We have $ to put a nuclear reactor, made with experimental tech not in use on earth, on the moon to power infrastructure that doesn’t exist but need to cut Medicaid by $1 TRILLION. You’d think we might get our priorities in order at some point. www.politico.com/news/2025/08...

It drives Jonathan Turley crazy when I remind everyone that he is just Mike Lindell with tenure. So, please make sure not to amplify this message.👇 Jonathan Turley is just Mike Lindell with tenure.

Any Dems who don’t have this attitude should exit politics now:

HBO should highly consider firing their current disgrace Bill Maher and replacing him with the fantastic Stephen Colbert.

Remember the rebellion won’t be televised. But oppression breeds rebellion. We just want to say thank you again. Every time we need you, you show up.

Ted Cruz just said Mr. Abrego has been charged with Human Trafficking. Cruz proclaims "I read every word of that indictment!" Apparently not, because Abrego was not charged with human trafficking. I hope this comes up in a motion to dismiss the charges.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

ChatGPT found a good Shakespeare quote to describe Trump & this mess. "You scullion! You rampallian! You fustilarian! I'll tickle your catastrophe!" Henry IV, Part 2 Act 2, Scene 1 Translation: lowlife, scoundrel, worthless scab. Tickle your catastrophe: to kick someone's ass with poetic flair.

A federal judge ruled that Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia should be released while awaiting trial. 100% agree.

They were supposed to be deporting “gang members” and “criminals.” So far, they have kidnapped people working their day jobs and folks lawfully showing up for their immigration court appearances… It was always a lie.

Don’t blame me, I voted for the first black President, the decent man from Scranton and the two highly intelligent successful talented supremely qualified women.

I hate when I go to bed early on a Saturday night and wake up Sunday morning only to discover we’ve gone to war in the Middle East without the consent of Congress. 😡

Iran did not have a nuclear weapon. Iran did not have a nuclear weapon. Iran did not have a nuclear weapon. Iran did not have a nuclear weapon. Iran did not have a nuclear weapon. Iran did not have a nuclear weapon. Iran did not have a nuclear weapon. Iran did not have a nuclear weapon.

Congress? You awake?

it’s even more demoralizing when the history you’re repeating is history you were around for the first time

The idea that we can "easily" overthrow the regime in Iran is a fantasy of people that have never served. Afghanistan is back in the hands of the Taliban after 20 years of slaughter. Iraq still isn't peaceful. Libya is a war zone that's been in civil war since we dropped bombs. History is screaming!

OMG YES… say that‼️ @tarasetmayer.bsky.social nails it. Honestly, we’ve been waiting for politicians to catch up to where the people are—and it’s getting damn late!

I don’t know, I just don’t think we should be making decisions with geopolitical implications that could result in millions of deaths and catastrophic damage based on a passage in Genesis.

"I attack ideas. I don't attack people. And some very good people have some very bad ideas. And if you can't separate the two, you gotta get another day job." Justice A. Scalia I think we've transcended this quote. Because bad ideas and bad people seem to be the norm now. Sucks for us good people.

This is not normal. A sitting president refusing to call the governor of a state after two elected officials were shot, one fatally, is beyond words. A typical president, regardless of politics, would pick up the phone. Offer condolences.

WE HAVE QUESTIONS… This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they? ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants. How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

Wow! See the difference? Thank you for your service.

🇨🇦 PM Carney met with 🇦🇺 PM Albanese ahead of the 2025 G7 Summit. They discussed trade, defense, critical minerals, and wildfire response. Carney thanked Australia for supporting Alberta’s wildfire efforts and emphasized strengthening bilateral relationship for shared growth in a more dangerous world

Condolences to the families, friends, and the state of Minnesota. How sad for us as US citizens. This BS tests character and it’s a challenge to stay engaged. Don’t quit.

We’ve uncovered fraud, waste, and abuse! ICE has now exceeded its congressionally approved budget. ICE is violating the Antideficiency Act by spending beyond Congressional authorization.

For Dallas protesters: I'm on the Police Oversight Board. If you'd like to file a complaint against an officer for behaving unprofessionally or abusively, let me know and I'll connect you to the right folks. At the same time, if you'd like to commend an officer for being helpful, also let me know.

I have a lot to say and am going to say it tonight at 7:30pm in a special free Democracy Docket newsletter. I warned you then and we’re doubling down now. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

Hell yes, a federal judge has blocked the MAGA regime from deploying National Guard troops to Los Angeles and has ruled it unconstitutional and illegal. Damn right it’s illegal, it’s also unAmerican and unbelievably fascist. More of this please! 👏

#GVerse #Interesting - Judge Breyer says that #Taco47 doesn't appear to have issued his order for the National Guard deployment in Los Angeles through Governor Gavin Newsom @governor.ca.gov like the law requires! It looks like the Judge may end up ruling in Gavin Newsom's favor here.
