NEW ORLEANS OFFICIALS: “We insist (Trump’s ICE goons) clearly ID themselves… there is no precedent for masked law enforcement… they have ZERO ACCOUNTABILITY… citizens are being racially profiled, chased, hunted… the chaos and lack of professionalism is ALARMING…”

NEW: Indiana's GOP redistricting plan has shown us just how far the party will go to appease Trump at the expense of voters. In our latest, Democracy Docket spoke with election scholar Prof. Luis Fuentes-Rohwer to discuss the ins and outs of the measure👇

Never, ever, ever, ever in the entire history of humanity has one human being’s ego needed to be stroked so much. It’s so fucking pathetic. And shame, shame, shame on all the ego strokers.

SCOTUS is allowing Texas to redistrict early. Remember that California responded by passing Prop 50 last month. Other states must also counteract Trump's attempt to steal the 2026 midterms. This isn’t a race to the bottom. It’s a means of avoiding the bottom.

I agree with everything you say here my former congressional colleague. And I also blame you for everything you say here. Bcuz you had the power to stop this dangerous quack. And you caved. Shame on you.

“.. all the world’s problems ..” 🤡

Putin's war in Ukraine shows where authoritarianism can lead: ~1.4 million casualties. An entire generation sacrificed for one man's imperialist delusions. We must not let any president drag us into war without congressional approval.

"One of the most staggering things is that the Roberts Court has ruled for President Trump 90 percent of the time in shadow docket cases. Lower courts keep restraining the president but the Supreme Court is repeatedly saying that the president and his party are above the law"

The way anti-vaxxers and conservatives have carelessly thrown away children’s lives has unironically made me feel we should reclaim the “pro-life” label and start yelling at these people for killing kids

What is going on here?

“Gaza now hosts the largest group of child amputees in modern history.” UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini says nearly 42,000 Palestinians in Gaza have suffered life-changing wounds in Israel’s war – and almost one-quarter of those are children. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/7eexx4

It might be easy to find things like this merely petty or superficial, but that would be a mistake. Demeaning, erasing or eliminating celebrations or acknowledgments of Black America is straight from Redemption playbook, and is intended to reinforce the racial hierarchy and signal its reinstatement.

They’re killing people as a twitter joke. It’s depraved. Can’t let yourself lose the capacity to be appalled and disgusted and outraged by this.

I am taking the next few days off from writing to prepare for a Supreme Court argument. If you want to support Democracy Docket during my pause, here is there link. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Congressman Adam Smith on @kaitlancollins.bsky.social says "fog of war" idea of Hegseth is "idiotic." It was a 48 minute video of 2 guys hanging off boat. Video was completely clear and visible when the second sortie (3 bombs) occurred.

Scathing dissent from Justice Kagan: "[T]his Court reverses that judgment based on its perusal, over a holiday weekend, of a cold paper record. We are a higher court than the District Court, but we are not a better one when it comes to making such a fact-based decision."

The whole play of Trumpism: convincing working class people to blame other working class people—so billionaires can keep robbing us all.

Wow, Adm. Holsey didn't leave of his own accord, Hegseth pushed him out. What looked like the SOCOM head resigning rather than do war crimes now looks like SecDef canning him to facilitate war crimes. Congress should have him testify, and would've already if war-crime-sympathetic GOP didn't run it.

Representative Jim Hines after seeing the unedited strike videos says its one of the most troubling scenes he's ever seen in his time in public service.

LIVE: I'm holding a Shadow Hearing on Trump's immigration detention abuses. Tune in here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0jC...

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear. At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

@raskin.house.gov: "President Trump directed CBS to edit his own interview after suing the network for editing his opponent’s interview, and CBS complied with his requests and omitted its anchor’s questions about President Trump’s pardons." @poynterinstitute.bsky.social mailchi.mp/poynter/top-...

Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.

Bears repeating that one of Russia’s first major social media influence campaigns in the US promoted antivax views. Why? For it’s a way to do clear material harm to the country. And here we are.

Usually, re-dedication ceremonies are held in broad daylight, with pomp and circumstance and a heads up to the press to cover said event with smiling politicos and speechless honorees….not marked with a “hey! look what we did when no one was looking!” tweet after business hours.

Hakeem Jeffries will never lead the Dems where they need to go in order to help the people. He will choose restoration over reform because he has been groomed by the Establishment. I wish people could finally accept this.

BREAKING: All House Democrats have signed our discharge petition to extend the ACA tax credits. That makes 214. We can protect health care and lower costs — if only 4 Republicans will join us.

Osman: "President Trump singling out one group of people & ICE being on our streets & asking people for documentation, it feels like we're in 1930s Germany. I never thought there would be a time where I will tell my community to carry their passport around bc if you look Somali you might be stopped"

If you’re rich enough, all “affordability” concerns are a “scam”.

🚨 Palantir CEO Alex Karp falsely said today that Trump won the 2024 election "in a landslide." Andrew Ross Sorkin, interviewing Karp at the NYT Dealbook Summit, didn't fact check him. Trump won the popular vote by one of the smallest margins since the 19th century. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/22/u...

HAPPENING NOW: I’m introducing my Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act to fix our broken immigration detention system that is full of rights violations and for-profit prisons. Trump’s treatment of immigrants has been unacceptable. We’re fighting back. www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5Og...

Well if it isn't the almost-Attorney General, folks.

Trump's periods of wakefulness during this cabinet meeting are becoming less frequent

So, seems like we’re not all that serious about fighting the war on drugs after all. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/02/u...

Excellent use of 12 seconds.

My district has already lost two hospitals. But Trump & Republicans' Big Betrayal Bill is threatening lives, care, and causing more hospitals to close.

The United States has marked/commemorated December 1st as World AIDS Day since 1988. The MAGA regime has ended that tradition this year whilst in the process of cutting funding for HIV prevention and research. Bigotry, hatred, evil and murder. I hate fascists.

Trump falls asleep again during a televised Cabinet meeting. The 79 year old cankled President isn't well. Clear as day to anyone with eyes.

@markhertling.bsky.social: “When you're talking about striking against someone who's wounded and clinging to debris…Deliberately targeting such a person isn't a tactical decision, it's a war crime by the Geneva Convention, the laws of land warfare, and the U.N. Charter.”

it perpetually seems petty in the grand scheme of things but given the way optics were used as a weapon against Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and even Kamala Harris I genuinely don't think it's possible to be angry *enough* about this shit

We didn’t hit it twice We did hit it twice and that’s legal The Admiral did it We didn’t see them I’m in the fog of war and you’re not even though I am right where you are

"Every soldier is taught from week one of basic training that the Constitution outranks any individual. And they learn, early and often, that their duty includes refusing unlawful commands—even from senior officers, even from civilian officials." -- Retired Army lt. general below at @thebulwark.com

Hundreds of millions. Wow, that's a lot. That's more than have died in every single war combined in the entire world since 1900.

RFK Jr: "Two weeks ago we ended, under your leadership, a twenty year war on women". Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

Trump on Minnesota's Somali community: "They contribute nothing. I don't want them in our country, I'll be honest with you."

Trump's cabinet responds to his racist diatribe with applause and then Trump abruptly wraps up the meeting

He was up posting over 150 deranged things on Truth Social last night, then started right back up again posting more at 5:48 AM this morning. bsky.app/profile/atru...

🚨BREAKING: Donald Trump has formally pardoned former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, who was convicted last year for trafficking massive quantities of cocaine into the United States and sentenced to 45 years in prison.

Beyond deplorable. And #complicitmedia will say nothing.
