Texas proudly invading Illinois. It’s hard to describe the level of potential constitutional crisis here.

A Texas megachurch pastor and GOP leader has been arrested for crimes against children. Not Robert Morris, a different one. Not Josiah Anthony, a different one. Not Luke Cunningham, a different one. Not Tony Evans, a different one. Not Scott Crenshaw, a different one. Not Steve Lawson, a different o

The RepubliKKKans Have Let All This Happen,Starting With Letting Chump Be Their Candidate, To The Failed Impeachments........

My message to Kristi Noem is clear: Get out of Chicago.

Listen To The Children Chump ! RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

No one is covering the GOP's scheme to rig congressional maps for 2026 as closely as Democracy Docket. It is providing gavel to gavel coverage of the ongoing hearing over whether the Texas gerrymander will be in place for the midterms. Support its work by subscribing now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

behold the bold and brave washington post opinion section (under new management), lol

Jared Kushner is going to the Middle East to negotiate a deal on behalf of the U.S. government days after Kushner announced a $55 billion deal between his private equity fund and the Saudi government One of the most brazen conflicts in history.

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files. But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality. Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook. Our duty is to stand up to brutality. Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.

Day 3 of the court hearing challenging Texas' gerrymandered congressional map and Democracy Docket's Jen Rice is one of the few reporters on-the-ground reporting from El Paso. Help power fearless, pro-democracy journalism by joining Democracy Docket's premium community today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

This keeps happening.

Fired for displaying a pride flag, followed by a citation of the Constitution.

It’s all so depressing

At a time when federal agents are sowing chaos in Chicago, the Trump administration is holding bipartisan funding hostage. It’s attempting to score political points but is instead hurting our economy and the hardworking people who rely on public transit to get to work or school.

Oop. Turns out that voters blame the GOP more for the shutdown by an average of 12 pts.

⚠️ 🎩 #MAGARealityShow #TODAY This attack on this boat, which can fit only a few people and is impossible to transport tons of drugs, still lacks the evidence of what the Secretary of War Games acusses. --Latin America, we expect these same serious measures within North American territory--

“The statue, spray-painted bronze, appeared fully restored today, with only minor damage still apparent and Trump and Epstein’s hands once again clasped together…” www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Naked children torn from their mothers and tossed into vans. U.S. citizens detained for hours in zip ties. Doors kicked in and belongings stolen or destroyed. This is the reality of Trump’s deportation agenda. It was always about cruelty.

Trump and Republicans are desperately trying to make your healthcare twice as expensive.

LORI CHAVEZ-DeREMER: We've been on a momentum of job gains. BARTIROMO: You know the data though. We've had three months of slowing jobs.

Posted by the President of the United States.

Good. Meet in public. Allow the cameras in. Full transparency. No lying about the other side's position in press conferences after the fact. Let the American people see the truth.

Meiselas: You’re saying to Donald Trump, to Senator Thune, to JD Vance: show up at the Capitol. We’re going to do this in front of the press and address these issues before the American people, correct? Jeffries: That’s my position—and we’ll even let Mike Johnson into the meeting as well.

Trumpnomics: Get tariff money from US consumers on Chinese goods. Our farmers can’t sell their products because the Chinese refuse to pay our tariffs. China buys from farmers in Argentina instead. We send Argentina $20 billion. Then we pay our farmers to throw their crops away.

MIKE JOHNSON: They want to give taxpayer-funded benefits to illegal aliens again CRAIG MELVIN: I had a hankering feeling you were going to bring that up. I actually did look at it. That's a bit misleading

According to eyewitnesses, armed ICE agents dragged kids out of their beds in the middle of the night, zip tied them and put them in rented vans while raiding an * entire apartment building* on the South Side of Chicago. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOXO...

In speeches, Vought spoke of “demoralizing federal workers to the point that they don’t want to do their jobs.” “.. we want them to not want to go .. because they are.. viewed as the villains,” he said. “We want to put them in trauma.” from 2024: @propublica.org www.propublica.org/article/vide...

Signs of psychosis. No biggie

IF ANY CALIFORNIA UNIVERSITY SIGNS THIS RADICAL AGREEMENT, THEY'LL LOSE BILLIONS IN STATE FUNDING — INCLUDING CAL GRANTS — INSTANTLY. CALIFORNIA WILL NOT BANKROLL SCHOOLS THAT SELL OUT THEIR STUDENTS, PROFESSORS, RESEARCHERS, AND SURRENDER ACADEMIC FREEDOM.

YOU GO GIRL BAD ASSES 💪🏻❤️ !

The man who is responsible for adding $2.4 trillion to the deficit over 10 years, and who is responsible for allocating $75 billion to kidnapping citizens, is taunting U.S. citizens by threatening to shutdown safety net programs. It’s time people. Courage over comfort.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen to Fox & Friends host Lawrence Jones: "In New Hampshire we do not provide health insurance for illegal immigrants, we have never done that, and you are just wrong."

Meiselas: I think this is a serious oversight issue. $17 trillion is apparently missing right now, and we’re in a government shutdown. Trump keeps saying he’s got $17 trillion. Where did it go? Garcia: If there is $17 trillion somewhere, the government doesn’t know about it.

Haha yes. Because ADP shows a really really really bad jobs report.

a heartwarming story of how being an unethical and talentless hack is no barrier to success when you are willing to endlessly flatter the wretched views of rich dipshits

Tim Walz: "My god, we've got the White House threatening investigations and jail time because an escalator stopped? Walk up the damn stairs!"

Gov is shutdown. Let’s see who picks it up this time 🤣

That speech was simply appalling. Glad veterans in Congress are speaking out.

Today, I'm signing legislation to safeguard our elections and the voice of every voter. It's now illegal to use contests or payments to get people to register to vote. And in the 2026 election, voters have the chance to repeal our state's ban on the public financing of elections.

When reality hits.

Cracker Barrel American Eagle War on Christmas: the right needs us to loathe them because that's central to their identity and operations, and if we don't they'll just fabricate it. Not news, but here's a new case of that:
