Notice a difference in how Democracy Docket framed Trump's threats vs how legacy media did? This is no accident. They are more interested in normalizing Trump to please their corporate overlords. Democracy Docket is only interested in providing you the truth. Support its work. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

💥 They are speaking to the military with absolute clarity. Illegal orders can and must be refused. And when Trump is reposting calls to “hang” Democratic lawmakers, their message becomes even more urgent.

EPSTEIN BOMBSHELL: my staff is releasing a new report showing JPMorgan Chase executives – all the way to the top – enabled Epstein's sex trafficking operation. You're going to want to read this.

ACA was their plan. It was the Republican plan, copied from Romney in Massachusetts and expanded nationwide. The reason they have nothing is because the ACA is the most right-wing option that actually (sort of) works. They have no alternatives because they don’t like how any alternative works.

NEW: ProPublica has found multiple cases of women with underlying health conditions who died when they couldn’t access abortions. Tierra Walker, a 37-year-old mother, was told by doctors there was no emergency before preeclampsia killed her.

This is ✨exactly✨ how I imagined Project 2025 playing out, when I was warning people about it months and months before Election 2024. They despise Black and Brown people and want us out of “their” country—our citizenship status is just pretext; it isn’t actually relevant. #ICE

Kavanaugh stop in Charlotte youtu.be/oJsWm5ZAEJE?...

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Video showed Border Patrol agents pinning down and arresting a teenage employee at the market Saturday.

San Diego ICE arrests expand to green card appointments www.daylightsandiego.org/san-diego-ic...

NEW: DHS invoked the “national emergency” at the border to skirt competitive bidding rules for a $220 million taxpayer-funded ad campaign. We found that a firm with deep ties to Kristi Noem secretly benefited from the deal.

An ICE agent carrying an AR-15 stole a U.S. citizen’s car keys and wallet, then abandoned her vehicle in the middle of Portland Road NE and Ward Drive NE in Salem, Oregon.

NEW: ProPublica examined months of Fox News’ coverage and reviewed over 700 videos posted on social media. The network used five-year-old footage, mislabeled other dates and implied footage from elsewhere was in Portland.

After yesterday’s surrender, we’re launching the largest Democratic primary program that we’ve ever run. We will not back any Senate primary candidate unless they call for Schumer to step down as Minority Leader. If you’re as pissed as we are, join this campaign to rebuild the Democratic Party. 👇

🚨This 16 year old was living a normal life until this administration took over the country. ICE is the enemy of humanity, decency, integrity, and all that used to represent this country. Meanwhile, Trump is building a private army, one that will be more ruthless and violent. 1/2

That old metaphor about the frog and the boiling water isn’t true: If you put a frog in a pot of water and slowly raise the heat, the frog will jump out before it gets boiled to death. The question now is whether American journalists are smarter than frogs. My Stop the Presses newsletter.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

My statement on the proposed Senate deal

Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

While this is great news, our fight isn’t over. We’ve joined other states to urge the appellate court to keep this ruling in effect. I’ll always work to protect our families and lead with kindness, not cruelty.

Despite the President’s attempts to do what no other President in history has ever done – withhold SNAP funding – the courts have ruled that blocking these funds was illegal and they must be fully funded.

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

CHICAGO: “My uncle was on his way home from getting groceries on his bike — they grabbed him and choked him and punched him… he’s a kind hardworking man. They’re racially profiling people.” Trump’s ICE goons put an elderly man in the hospital and nearly choked him to death.

Federal immigration cops are using "wellness checks" on minors as a ruse to get into homes and arrest people for alleged immigration violations. In this case, an alleged check on a 17-year-old let them arrest his 22-year-old brother, who was brought here at 11 and has protected status.

The problem with most of Yglesias’s advice for Democrats is that Republicans do the opposite and win all the time. So it’s either bad advice or evidence of an asymmetric playing field, which he never addresses.

Trump did on 60 Minutes what he does every time. He spews a blizzard of lies, exaggerations and assorted other falsehoods, and if (as usual) the reporter isn’t equipped or doesn’t bother to push back, he keeps going. Here is a detailed list, via @mehdirhasan.bsky.social zeteo.com/p/factchecki...

Voters disagree with the Republican propaganda version of what Democrats believe but pundits rarely address the propaganda part of that equation. Strategic position taking doesn’t work on voters who don’t know your position!

Point worth reiterating: “ICE officials have told us that an apparent biometric match by Mobile Fortify is a ‘definitive’ determination of a person’s status and that an ICE officer may ignore evidence of American citizenship—including a birth certificate—if the app says the person is an alien."

Dear people who don't live in the Chicago area, Trump's thugs are practicing their violence on us before they apply it coast-to-coast. Get active now, while you can. Help us defeat the fascists and save our country.

Appreciate this coverage but it is hard to explain to people not in the Chicago area that THESE ARE NOT PROTESTS. This is people coming out of their homes, doing anything in their power to try to stop their neighbors from being kidnapped. It is coming for your city next, please be prepared.

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

More than a dozen Epstein survivors, along with the family of Virginia Guiffre, send a letter to Speaker Mike Johnson demanding he call the House back into session and swear in Adelita Grijalva. @jimacosta.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...

Could ICE have ‘lost' 3,000 immigrant arrestees in Chicago? NBC Chicago's investigative team reports at least 3,000 jailed immigrants have vanished from federal records, according to human rights attorneys and organizations. www.nbcchicago.com/investigatio...

If YOU haven't seen John Oliver's SCATHING take on Medicare Advantage, you MUST watch.🤯 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ejoi...

"According to his running club, the man, who is a U.S. citizen, was returning from a team run when agents pulled him out of his vehicle, tackled him to the ground and kneeled on top of him, allegedly breaking six ribs and causing internal bleeding"

Thugs.

🚨BIG changes happening -- ICE leadership is being purged tonight. The old guard, which prioritized targeted enforcement operations aimed at people with criminal records, is being replaced with Border Patrol and Gregory Bovino's "Midway Blitz" style. Think things are bad now? It'll get worse.

ICE violently detain father & son walking to school—teenage boy had to be rushed to hospital. "I was just going to school," kid cries out. "I'm underage!" The 16-year-old star athlete is a U.S. citizen—agents sent him to the hospital with severe injuries to his back & neck. Houston, Texas.

ICE GOONS forcibly abduct an elderly man from a Walmart in Portland, OR, as he cries out for help.

Teens heading to school. Racial profiling isn’t just something they do, it’s all they do.

NEW: Video footage shows Jack naming his first state Supreme Court nominee — spoiler alert, he's an extremist who believes that Roe v. Wade led to a "culture of death," believes in an abortion ban WITHOUT exceptions, and opposes gay marriage.

More from the scene

i really resent the continued assertion that there’s so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. we’re angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and they’re angry because we’re calling them out for it.
