Morelle: Here’s the problem whenever the president speaks—and I hate to make light of this because he’s the president—but it’s almost always just fantasy. This week he’s suddenly a scientist, telling us what we should do for a fever if you’re a pregnant woman. It’s an endless series of baloney.

George Conway @gtconway.bsky.social on the Comey indictment: "This indictment is just quintessentially Trumpian: it is both breathtakingly corrupt, and mind-blowingly stupid."

LMAO 🤣

The most interesting thing about Amelia Earhart being declassified is she probably crash landed on an island, and Epstein had an island, too. #releasethefiles

America: Epstein files Trump: Jimmy Kimmel America: Epstein files Trump: James Comey America: Epstein files Trump: how about Amelia Earhart

When you think of Trump you think of Amelia Earhart that's why people are always asking him about her instead of Jefferey Epstein.🤔

Trump announces today he has instructed the FBI to release the Amelia Earhart files because after reviewing them he’s fairly certain she never visited Epstein’s island.

Amelia Earhart? The convicted felon, adjudicated, rapist and accused child molester must think his followers are pretty dumb. This is just an other Epstein file distraction. Is anyone asking to release the Amelia Earhart files?

We don’t want to hear about the Bermuda Triangle. We don’t want to read the classified documents about Amelia Earhart. We don’t give a damn about who stopped the UN escalator. We know acetaminophen doesn’t cause autism. We also know that Tmurp needs to #ReleaseAllTheEpsteinFiles

📢 Release the Epstein files! #ONEV1 #Pinks 🌸 #Voices4Victory

Mike Johnson may not bring the House back next week, but not because of the looming shutdown, but to prevent a vote on the Epstein files that they are now expected to lose. We live in a country where those on the right would rather shut the government down than admit Trump is a pedophile.

A unilateral decision… youtube.com/shorts/Ihmjg...

Jeffries: "Here's what DHS has done. DHS put out a hit list directed at Democratic members of Congress, Dem governors, and Dem officials. It's a hit list saying to crazies all across the country 'target these people.' So no, we're not gonna be lectured by DHS. Take your hit list down."

DOJ has sued 8 states for protecting their citizens' sensitive voter registration data. My law firm has intervened to oppose DOJ's efforts in the first two states -- Maine and Oregon. Six more to go...

Donald Trump gets brutally embarrassed by new political art installation erected in front of the Capitol on the National Mall, featuring bronze figures of him and longtime pal Jeffrey Epstein frolicking together:

Assata Shakur, a Black liberation activist who was given political asylum in Cuba after her 1979 escape from a U.S. prison, has died. Officials in New Jersey, where Shakur had been arrested, convicted and imprisoned, said she was 78.

President Trump said he will put import taxes of 100% on pharmaceutical drugs, 50% on kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities, 30% on upholstered furniture and 25% on heavy trucks starting on Oct. 1.

The court's majority said Trump's foreign policy authority outweighed the harms claimed by the international aid groups suing.

President Donald Trump cheered the James Comey indictment, saying “JUSTICE IN AMERICA!” had been served, even as the former FBI director has denied wrongdoing and expressed confidence in winning acquittal at trial. https://to.pbs.org/4nvRJCI

Yemen’s Houthi rebels said Friday that at least nine people were killed by Israeli strikes on the country’s rebel-held capital of Sanaa the previous day, the latest in an increase in exchanges between Israel and the Iranian-backed rebels over the war in Gaza. https://to.pbs.org/46Dvwv1

Democratic lawmakers on the House Oversight Committee say six pages of records from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate show that the late financier was friends with some of the most powerful and wealthiest men in the world. https://to.pbs.org/3IsJYy1

This Gen Z Democratic candidate @isaiahrmartin.bsky.social wants to take Trump head on if he’s elected, fighting fire with fire. He was even willing to get arrested at a redistricting meeting in Texas, pinned to the floor by police.

Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski cast the deciding vote to keep the Epstein files sealed. We dug into why—and uncovered a tangled web linking her to Ghislaine Maxwell, her husband, a powerful donor, and big money in Alaska. Go to the LINK in BIO to read the full investigation.

Labor productivity has more than doubled since the late 1960s. But workers’ compensation has barely budged. Yes. The economy is rigged in favor of the wealthy.

In his EPSTEINTH utterly pathetic attempt at distraction and deflection, the Dictator in the WH is now ordering the release of - get this - **the Amelia Earhart files.** 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

"I believe in living. I believe in birth. I believe in the sweat of love and in the fire of truth. And i believe that a lost ship, steered by tired, seasick sailors, can still be guided home to port.” ― Assata Shakur

I was proud of this one.

"We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason, if we dig deep in our history and our doctrine, and remember that we are not descended from fearful men — not from men who feared to write, to speak, to associate and to defend causes that were, for the moment, unpopular.” - Edward R Murrow

As a former federal prosecutor who worked for DOJ for 25 years, I concur. This is a red line moment of political abuse that cements the United States as a banana republic with better window dressing.

As the attacks on democracy increase, supporting independent media has never been more important. I started Democracy Docket in the crucible of 2020 and it has remained fearlessly pro-democracy ever since. No corporate overlords. It will never bow down. Subscribe now to support. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0
