Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

His head is a “big ball” full of contradictions. #bigbigbummer

US Marshal shot by ICE

🚨BREAKING: The State of Arizona filed a lawsuit accusing House Speaker Mike Johnson of violating the Constitution by refusing to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva. The plaintiffs argue that Johnson’s delay has deprived hundreds of thousands of Arizonans of representation.

omg! "Demolition crews have begun tearing down part of the White House... "Construction teams Monday were demolishing a portion of the East Wing, with a backhoe ripping through the structure..." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

🚨🚨🚨WA Governor Bob Ferguson responds to a letter he received from AG Pam Bondi in which she threatened to place him in jail. 🧯He is on fire! 1/2

Kamala Harris: "Here in Chicago I'm told the helicopters that were descending on an American city were Black Hawks. Do you know what Black Hawks were designed to do? War. So I think everyone can draw their conclusions just based on the facts."

BREAM: Open enrollments starts in November. People are already getting notices about what they may pay. I mean, that's gotta be resolved. MIKE JOHNSON: Yes, and they're eating up the clock in the month of October (Johnson canceled the House in August to avoid taking votes on Epstein)

This has real -- I intended to dm "Pam" -- energy.

True bravery!

Secede.

He’s almost there… “Just Keep Swimming”… -dori

This sadly demented man doesn't realize *he* was president on Jan 6, 2021. Get him in an assisted living facility ASAP.

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time. VANCE: No, George, I sai-- STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back

CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it. Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.

THESE are the promises I want to hear.

Crazy, isn’t it?

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

Never forget that when Bondi was appointed, Democracy Docket immediately called her out while The Washington Post gave her a thumbs up. If you value independent, pro-democracy media that won't bow down or obey, support Democracy Docket today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

A reminder that I have "Arkham" embedded in my name. (not that there's anything wrong with that...)

Federal mortgage-fraud prosecutions are exceptionally rare. The amount allegedly at issue in the Letitia James case is so paltry that it would not normally draw the attention of federal prosecutors, @ruthmarcus.bsky.social writes.

In 62 years, the only time I didn’t feel safe was when I stood up to a gang of Neo Nazi Skinheads. Why isn’t trump sending in the Guard to states that have a strong White Supremacy presence? #USDemocracy

Yesterday people asked why Nexstar and Sinclair caved. The answer is simple: those who tracked which companies were advertising with them made a huge impact. Thanks to those calls, companies began pulling their ad budgets over the Kimmel blackout.

When Pres Biden came into office in Jan 2021 they discovered that Federal Court Filing Document system had been hacked into by Russian hackers. Why would they do that? Were they looking for Epstein docs of money laundering for blackmail? 1/2

History is like science and free speech. It doesn't exist for you to agree or disagree with it, it exists for you to listen to it.

Outrageous.

They're about to shut down the government to protect the Epstein Files from disclosure. Whatever is in the files must be so unhinged as to be beyond imagination.

CNN reported Thursday that sources are claiming President Donald Trump wants the Justice Department to indict his former national security advisor, John Bolton.

Swearing is OK! 🇺🇸🇺🇸

Finally. Huh. What job?

Trumpnomics: When American taxpayers have to pay farmers because they can’t sell to the Chinese.

It’s amazing that she thinks anyone is buying this

Read the IG report on the McCabe leak controversy for which Comey might be indicted, and you'll see that there's no case here and that any prosecution would be the weaponization of the DOJ to serve Trump's revenge fantasy. I mean, no case at all. Not even close. static01.nyt.com/files/2018/u...

It took me a while to remember what Tylenol was, because we don't call it that over here... They're trying to pin autism on *paracetamol* of all things?

🚨Tonight, Moldovan President Maia Sandu warned of “grave and immediate danger” after police smashed a Kremlin-backed plot. NATO, citing drone swarms and airspace violations, warns Europe faces mounting risk of conflict with Russia. (no paywall) theintellectualistofficial.substack.com/p/moldova-st...

Rep. Jim Himes: "Having the Defense Department kill alleged drug runners in the Caribbean is illegal...These folks are committing murder — murder defined as killing without a legal basis. I am mystified over why the rest of the chain of command is quite comfortable with it."

Damn right — lock him up!!

I know we keep focusing on Colbert and Kimmel as we should, but we also need to remember there are hundreds of people who work for these shows who also just lost their jobs because of this bullshit, and most of them are probably not millionaires.

Im so perplexed.

Walz: This is North Korea style stuff. And it's being done because this is a weak, thin skinned man who's failing as a president. All of the things he promised are not happening. It's a it's our most cherished freedom to point out very clearly, this is a terrible president

STEWART: “Comedy doesn’t change the world, but it’s a bellwether— we’re the banana peel in the coal mine… authoritarians are the threat to comedy, music, art, thought… progress.” Nailed it.

Tonight's news makes clear that the legacy media is fully capitulating. I started Democracy Docket in 2020 to be fearlessly independent and pro-democracy. It will never bow down. It will never give in. It will never compromise Sign up now to support its work! hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

Say less. My God. Handsome…talented. Just all together a devilish dream.

Why is the right so angry? They control the entire government and they’re still miserable f*cks. Joy Reid nailed it.
