The National Archives under the Trump administration released @mikiesherrill.bsky.social full, unredacted Navy personnel file to Jack Ciattarelli's campaign. This is an unprecedented and illegal weaponization of the National Archives and private, personal records to attack a political opponent.

The response to this essay that was sent to premium members earlier today was so overwhelming that Democracy Docket decided to publish it for free on its website. I am touched by all of your comments and kind words of support. Please, read, share and enjoy! www.democracydocket.com/opinion/what...

folks, (including "progressives" like Matt Stoller) tried to insist these fake populists would be much like Lina Khan on antitrust and reining in corporate power a patently corrupt mobster gets into office, it's 24/7 cronyism and corruption, and people suddenly have a surprised look on their face

"The president who's committed every deadly sin, multiple times, wants to get into heaven -- and so do I," says the woman who constantly lies and spews insults on his behalf.

I have read about lots of concessions that UKRAINE must make for peace. Still waiting to read ONE verifiable signed concession that RUSSIA needs to make. WHY? CAUSE THERE ARENT ANY!!!!!

James Madison was elected in 1812 during the War of 1812. Abraham Lincoln was elected in 1864 during the Civil War. FDR was elected in 1944 during WWII. JBJ & Nixon were elected in 1964 & 1972 during the Vietnam War. George W. Bush was elected in 2004 during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

All of the legacy media outlets that told us last year that Trump and the GOP really loved voting by mail and criticized me for saying it wasn't true were wrong. Now Trump is trying to ban VBM and he also wants to take over vote counting and certification. I hope they listen to me this time.

This seems bad.

Wow. Texas sucks.

I am worried about the lack of good-quality science communication in the world today. The gap between the ivory towers of academia and accessible public information is gaping. #science #research #bluesky #siccoms #academia

House Republicans held a hearing Tuesday designed to boost the Trump administration’s crusade for further tightening voting rules. The panel gave a platform to leaders of two top anti-voting legal and advocacy groups to spread misinformation about voting. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Texas Republicans are speeding through an unusual mid-decade redistricting process in an attempt to deliver President Donald Trump a House majority in 2026, all before the clock runs out on a 30-day special session. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Much of President Donald Trump’s anti-voting executive order has been blocked by judges. But it’s having an impact nonetheless — by encouraging and emboldening state-level Republicans to pursue its anti-democratic goals. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

NEW: With Texas set to begin a special session that includes drawing a new congressional map next week, national Democrats say they’re exploring ways to stop the Republican plan. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Brains? What brains?

And yet another Trump administration travesty

Be kind and choose your words carefully.💙

Depravity.

We will not win the battle for democracy if those in the pro-democracy movement prize caution over taking risks. We cannot permit ourselves to be deterred by the defeats and public criticism that are inevitable along the long path of restoring democracy. Now is the time for fearless leadership.

Trump Republicanism in action. www.reuters.com/world/us-aid...

@TeamPelosi HOUSE REPUBLICANS ARE BETRAYING THEIR OWN VOTERS by following Trump's orders to strip health care from millions of Americans — including cancer patients — to give tax breaks to billionaires. Disgraceful. Tell Republicans to #DefendMedicaidDefeatCancer.

Happy tariff capitulation day to all who celebrate.

If South Africa is a sovereign nation, how are we able to send our own planes we paid for to transport white Afrikaners to the U.S., but simultaneously unable to send a plane to return Abrego Garcia et al?

Kristi Noem: "With all due respect, Senator, that's a ridiculous question about our budget. Do you have any idea what my costumes alone cost?"

The amount of Russian soldiers in this picture is how many are killed or wounded every three days

North Carolina Republicans tried to overturn Justice Allison Riggs' victory.  Last night, voters won.

"The fact that the U.S. federal government is squawking in one loud, highly irritating voice… that it would like to obliterate the national sovereignty of our longtime friend and ally to the north is in and of itself a scandal." Commentary: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Says the criminal who also had no regard for the survivors of the families at Cantor Fitzgerald.

"I think Trump hates Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Bigots hate nobody more than the mirror holders. Zelenskyy's courage, his clarity, his moral probity, holds up a mirror in which Trump can't hide from his own depravity. When he's reminded of what he truly is, the mask slips, doesn't it." ~ James O'Brien 🌻

Trump is threatening to revoke Harvard’s tax exempt status because the university refused to cave to his demands. Why is he so hell-bent on attacking universities? Because an educated and informed citizenry has always been the biggest threat to a dictator's power.

100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election. 70% of these donations went to Republicans. Now, Trump and the GOP are gutting the FEC — which enforces campaign finance and anti-corruption laws. See how this works?

So the ICESTAPO is now grabbing people as they go to their green card meetings. People trying to become citizens the legal way, and doing everything right, are being deported for no other reason for having brown skin. ICE isn’t targeting white immigrants. ONLY the brown ones.

Trump’s DOJ ordered ICE agents to conduct home raids without a warrant, in clear violation of the 4th Amendment. And three American children were just unlawfully deported, including one with cancer. Where is the outrage from the so-called “party of freedom”?

And Mexico will pay for the wall…

Sounds good, doesn’t it?! 👇

Good morning from Canada, the land of the free and the home of the brave. "Trump wanted to break us. We are over the shock of American betrayal. But we will never forget the lessons.” ~ Prime Minister Mark Carney 🍁

Now we have the answer. The original story was legit then Bezos backed down.

FOTUS intends to use these claims to either change the laws till only he can win , Yes a third term for life, Or just sell it as can't have elections because they are so corrupt . His action today to further weaponize leo across the nation. And once again attempt to use the military as LEO .

No one is above the law except, according to the Supreme Court, a president. Everyone who is accused of violating the law is entitled to due process. It is un-American and unconstitutional to believe in one and not the other.

Three months ago, the liberals were down 25 point in the polls. Thanks to Donald Trump, Canada just elected Mark Carney.
