Tuesday’s results explain why Trump and the GOP are so focused on undermining free and free elections in 2026. Please, stay informed and take action. There is no better way to start than by signing up for Democracy Docket. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Ok, but let’s just say that TACO actually is a Russian asset (which is likely confirmed by the Epstein files), isn’t crashing the U.S. economy EXACTLY what he’s supposed to do? I mean…don’t his actions more clearly demonstrate an intent to harm the United States, than to actually lead it?

please read every book by kazuo ishiguro, it will make you a better person.

This pretty lady is Picnic Basket. She is a very friendly girl who loves people. She will take all the pets she can get and she also loves to play. Some other cats are okay with her, but she would also be content to be your one and only.

The big difference between Trump's first term and second is that he didn't burn down a strong economy with tariffs last time around. It's a lot easier for voters to overlook his bigoted nonsense and authoritarian bluster when they feel good about material conditions.

Meet our pets of the week: Riff and Perchik!

We have seen several posts criticizing Mamdani for selecting five female transition advisors who were not a diverse group. The women include one Latina, one British Pakistani, one Filipina, one black woman, and one white woman. That’s pretty diverse in my book!

No argument here — Trump IS a moron.

All 31 far-right Moms for Liberty terrorists lost their 2025 election bids. Great news for what remains of our democracy.

SNAP has existed for 60 years. Benefits have gone out every single month over those six decades, including during government shutdowns. Until now. Make no mistake: The money is available to fund SNAP during this shutdown. Trump is making a choice to withhold it. Don’t forget this.

I was going to write a piece for tomorrow, but after a crazy week, I really needed the day off. I will be back on Monday with my usual weekend rundown. A big thanks to the Democracy Docket subscriber community for its support. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power. The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever. But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

The same folks who gutted SNAP with their “Big Beautiful Bill” and are now appealing to the Supreme Court to dodge paying those benefits want you to believe they care about the poor. Spoiler: they care about optics, not outcomes.

New York City Mayor-elect Mamdani is kicking off with a big move: bringing former Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan to co-chair his transition team. It's a strong suggestion that he’s willing to take on powerful corporate interests as mayor. trib.al/NofL7Bl

Today's Democratic proposal reopens the government, provides immediate relief to millions of Americans whose health care premiums are about to skyrocket, and creates a pathway towards a long-term solution for the tax credits that are critical to health care affordability.

Senate Democrats are offering a path forward: Reopen the government and extend the health care tax credits for 1 year to ensure millions of Americans don’t see their premiums double in January. The President & Congressional Republicans need to come to the table to negotiate.

While dumpster donny is floating the idea of paying out cash to ACA users. Just another grift from a child raping con man. #TheAlliedForces

Did you know gov shutdowns aren’t in the Constitution, any law, or Court ruling? They exist because of a 1980 OLC memo—a lawyer’s opinion that everyone just went along with. Before 1980, funding gaps didn’t cause shutdowns. What one memo created, another can undo. How the next D admin can undo it:

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

The media once again misses the real news about Trump’s rapid mental decline www.alternet.org/trump-mental/

The current GOP lie is that they’re going to replace Obamacare with something better. Bullshit. In all of the majorities they’ve had since Obamacare passed, they’ve never once tried to replace it. They’ve tried to repeal it a whole bunch, but never actually make it better.

Husbands with Grindr profiles?

I always find it interesting how the story changes when a lawyer gets to court. They can say anything they want outside of court without accountability but the rules are vastly different in court where you can get seriously penalized for lying.

There is zero excuse for police, in a free society, to wear a mask. Cowards

Rumor has it Trump wants the new Washington Commanders stadium named after him. I dunno about you, but Pedophile Stadium has an odd ring to it.

If you’d rather have a muslim running New York City than a felon running America…let’s be friends.

Speaker Johnson is violating the Constitution. Time to remove him. "Neither House, during the session of Congress, shall, without the consent of the other, adjourn for more than three days, nor to any other place than that in which the two Houses shall be sitting." Art. I § 5.

Making weekend plans? Why not head to a local shelter and find a snuggle bunny like this baby for those cold winter nights 🤗 You won’t regret it! #cats #catsofbluesky #adoptdontshop

Until the end of the government shutdown, our campaign will be donating $2,500 a month to a food pantry in the Ninth District. And to my fellow candidates, I challenge you to do the same:
