If you were a journalist or creative that was laid off by the Washington Post and you want to work for an independent, pro democracy news outlet, Democracy Docket is hiring. bit.ly/45Qaw4K

For those keeping score at home:

President Trump has made $4 billion by illegally trading access to the White House to get rich. He controls the Dept of Justice and the Congress so he won't be held accountable - until he doesn't control the Dept of Justice and Congress.

BREAKING: CBP agents who murdered Alex Pretti have been IDENTIFIED: Jesus Ochoa, 43, and Raymundo Gutierrez, 35. www.propublica.org/article/alex...

It is one thing to seize old ballots; it is quite another to imagine federal agents seizing ballots from county offices on election night or the day after. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/dojs...

A reminder that the New England Patriots plane is flown by Omni air who contracts with ICE to fly people in chains to Africa and Asia several times per week. Go Seahawks.

straight up Gestapo shit

Top photo: Jeffrey Epstein’s living room. Suddenly, it all makes sense.

Congratulations to Christian Menefee on winning the TX-18 runoff tonight. Wishing you the best on the House Dem team!!! SENILE Trump’s Republican margin in Congress JUST GOT SMALLER!!!!!!

The president of the United States had his DOJ raid the Fulton County election office and seized ballots. This is clearly a dry run for 2026. Yet, this is treated by too many in legacy media as normal. I founded Democracy Docket in 2020 because you deserve better. Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

If the Epstein files are this vile and incriminating already, just imagine all the stuff they’re still hiding.

BREAKING Greg Bovino has been removed as Border Patrol "commander at large" and will return to El Centro Calif, where he is expected to retire soon. A stunning turnaround after Pretti killing. Bovino's traveling blue city crackdown is over www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Thank you to everyone who worked hard to preserve this video. It shows ICE murdered Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse. Watch, save, and share. 💔

Gov. Tim Walz: "Thank God we have video, because according to DHS, these seven heroic guys took an onslaught of a battalion against them or something. It's nonsense, people. It's nonsense and it is lies."

My God.

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

Q: Did you uncover evidence to prove Trump knew his claim the election was stolen was false? SMITH: Yes Q: And Trump claimed it was stolen while he privately acknowledged he lost? SMITH: Yes Q: Yet on the 5th anniversary of J6, Trump still promoted the stolen election theory on a govt webpage

He keeps referring to Greenland as Iceland. His dementia is on full display. Just look at him slumped over the podium . Time for people to get up and leave the clown show.

BREAKING: Immigration officers are asserting sweeping power to enter homes without a judge’s warrant, a memo obtained by AP says.

Wow. #NoKings #Davos2026

These numbers are a shitshow. The GOP knows they’re not sustainable, but they’re too afraid to actually do anything about it. That’s why you’re seeing so many of them resign. They understand what’s coming in the midterms.

No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.

it's bizarre to see both CNN and CNBC run with chyrons reporting that Trump said he won't "use force" to take Greenland, when the comments in question were clearly a threat to take Greenland by force. How naive are we at this point?

New— An American citizen boarding flight from Boston to Lisbon just now told me after showing boarding pass, every passenger stopped on jetway by two ICE agents demanding to take their photo. When passenger asked why, ICE threatened to detain them. If they said no photo, couldn't board/TBD detained.

Maybe it is all innocent. But nothing about the Epstein Files has ever been innocent. Maybe the DOJ is simply being careful to protect victims. Or maybe the DOJ is once again doing what it believes is best for Trump, and everything else be damned. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

Donald has been posting unhinged, incoherent ramblings for a decade now, but his recent threats against sovereign nations brings us into totally new and dangerous territory. It’s time to start asking Republicans why they continue to back a man who is so obviously out of his mind.

The message of Trump’s letter to the prime minister of Norway signals that the president “genuinely lives in a different reality, one in which neither grammar nor history nor the normal rules of human interaction now affect him,” @anneapplebaum.bsky.social argues. theatln.tc/U0fviLiM

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

We already have complete access to Greenland, including unfettered freedom of navigation into the Arctic. We have a military base. We have early warning radar systems in place that will integrate with the “dome.” And we have allies to help defend it. We don’t need Greenland.

CNN: A majority of the country, 58% say President Trump's first year has been a failure. That includes two thirds of independent voters. Now, why is that? Across the board, Americans disapprove of how the president is handling every major issue.

Terribly uncanny how relevant this is to today.

Dear Black people, they’re coming for us too.

For anyone who believes that Americans dying of overdoses is anything but a convenient pretext to these ghouls. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/14/h...

Whenever I am bleeding internally after being hit by a car I keep filming on my cell phone while briskly walking away from the scene without waiting for medical attention. What about you guys?

Every couple of weeks we get a different description of the apparently awful stench coming off our necrotic president and I think it's high time the media nail down exactly what kind of rotten meat covered in women's perfume he actually smells like.

Some good news! Victoria Spartz is awful and JD Ford is decidedly not. I'll be supporting JD's candidacy and if you're in Indiana I hope you will too. www.wthr.com/article/news...

Three pieces of news in the last few days that you may have missed — all Democratic or progressive victories. 1️⃣ Pennsylvania's Bucks County quit its ICE contract, due to the new sheriff elected in November.

Good reminder from this state highway!

Dude who helped organize all-out attack on our democracy and refused to talk to Congress about it, and helped Epstein even after what he did was known. thinks he can be president. 🇺🇸 🤷🏼 USA! www.mediaite.com/media/news/s...

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

Hey everybody, it’s the 250th anniversary of Common Sense, whose luminous author Tom Paine, figured centrally in the American Revolution, the Enlightenment and the movement for Democracy still sweeping the Earth. The times hath found us.

Understand: these incidents are not an example of a failure of training, they are an example of a successful understanding of the true mission of ICE. ICE knows full well that it's the new SS, and that it exists to terrorize and abuse citizens into silent compliance. No training can fix this.

This week: we execute a U.S. citizen. Next week: we take over elections to stop “fraud.” It's so transparent what's going on here.
