Two days ago, retired border patrol Nazi Greg Bovino promised “a twist” related to Delaney Hall. He said “they won’t see this coming”, and that standing up “citizen militias” is a good idea. Today, the Proud Boys arrived on scene.

BREAKING: The rookie federal prosecutor who brought the case against James Comey — accusing him of threatening Trump's life by posting a photo of seashells on Instagram — has stepped off the case.

This is fantastic! We need to data hoard everything.

NEW: A lot of bad has happened to American science over the last year but nothing comes even close to what’s about to happen if we don’t speak out in opposition to the OMB rule changes and I hope @aaas-socsci.bsky.social @apsphysics.bsky.social and others will launch public campaigns about this. 🧪🔭⚛️

Greg Bovino will speak at a white nationalist conference in Portugal tomorrow. He will share the stage with no fewer than five people who idolize Hitler, including one who joined a group created by two Nazi SS members. Another guy is a self-described racist who refers to women as "cockroaches."🧵

🚨 “THEY’RE ATTACKING PROTESTERS… FOR NO REASON AT ALL.” 🚨 Pepper spray is now being deployed during chaotic clashes between ICE agents and protesters outside Delaney Hall ICE prison on Day 7 of the hunger/labor strike. @jordanchariton.bsky.social⬇️

This means any payouts from Trump's slush fund have been temporarily blocked.

1. A Popular Information reveals that two more "progressive" super PACs are linked to House Republicans and Speaker Mike Johnson. They've worked pretty hard to cover their tracks, but not quite hard enough. Follow along for details.

OMG. “I found a second vote.gov — and it’s registered to the White House *** Either DOJ lied to a federal judge, or the studio is building a replacement for the country’s voter registration site without telling the agencies whose work it would replace.” 5/26/26 … 1/

It remains baffling to me that we have a clear constitutional requirement that the president can't enrich himself on the job, something we had no problem enforcing strictly for hundreds of years, and then this sweaty conman came by and the nation just sorta shrugged it off.

President Trump’s personal attorneys and the DOJ *he* controls secretly negotiated a settlement, creating a $1.8 billion "weaponization" slush fund. This is blatantly illegal. So you bet CREW filed a lawsuit.

My team uncovered that foreign enemies are targeting U.S. servicemembers in war zones by buying their location data. The threat to national security posed by data brokers has never been more clear. We need to dismantle the surveillance advertising industry.

A disappointing SCOTUS decision in Fernandez, narrowing the scope of resentencings available under the First Step Act. A majority says courts can't consider the validity of a conviction under the First Step Act (here, the petitioner argued he might be innocent): www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Trumpists are trash.

Congress: the totally unregulated data tracking and data broker market in US is a national security risk exposing soldiers to threats on the battlefield Tech companies: we told you to regulate us but instead you took all the easy free campaign and lobbying money so here we are

NEW: This is the story of one couple’s long fight with their health insurer — and the little-known tool that helped them finally win. In this episode of “Paper Trail,” we’re going to tell you what it is:

@governor.pa.gov pay attention!!!

Only 16% told Gallup the economy is "excellent" or "good" in its last survey. 34% said "only fair" while a whopping 49% said "poor" Over 50% told Fox News their family's financial situation is worse than it was two years ago, with 77% saying the economy as a whole is in bad shape.

Given the number of traitors in PA, I hope @governor.pa.gov follows suit and imposes a 100% tax on this bullshit fund.

Gavin Newsom announces that California will tax 100% of all funds any Californian receives from Trump's January 6th slush fund.

FYI, the single most unusual trade in Trump's portfolio disclosure was him buying $1M-$5M in DELL on February 10, a mere 11 trading days before it released a huge upside earnings surprise. Trump's currently at 150% profit on it. I guess he wanted to squeeze some more profit from it with this.

I don’t think these AI toxic tech bros have thought about what happens to them when they’ve made millions of people unemployed. They’ve got nothing but time to think about who’s to blame. And that will be when the Class War really begins.

1. Number of stories about Trump buying and selling hundreds of millions of dollars in stocks in the first three months of 2026: CBS: 0 CNN: 0 Fox News: 0 NPR: 0 PBS: 0 Politico: 0 Semafor: 0 Business Insider: 0

Staggering corruption.

Many of you are asking how you can help me. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket for free and share its content with everyone you know. Thanks. bit.ly/4a7l1TR

Seriously, if you have ANY GOP (or live in PA) Senators, call and make sure they know Smith's corruption has endangered cases against an alleged murderer, a child abuser, and several accused drug dealers.

taking tax dollars to pay insurrectionists. which (by the way) the 14th amendment is supposed to prohibit: "[N]either the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States...."

Trump personally bought and sold millions of dollars worth of stock in technology companies and government contractors early this year, according to government records. In total, he made at least $220 million in financial transactions. The Trump admin directly regulates some of these companies.

Trump’s gerrymandering war has been underway for nearly a year now. But it may only be getting started. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I assumed the word "million" was accidentally dropped after the subbed note that he was fined "$200" for this but, no, the fine was two hundred dollars. For late disclosures on tens of millions of dollars. A fine of Two. Hundred. Dollars.

Corruption should and likely will be a massive campaign theme for Democrats and these quotes should figure prominently.

ICYMI, new piece/thread from me

@politico.com BREAKING: #SCOTUS denies Virginia Democrats' longshot bid to revive their redistricting effort. Chief Justice Roberts referred the emergency appeal to the full court. No noted dissents. No opinion(s). Doc: www.documentcloud.org/documents/28...

This.

This is depressing and shameful but I want to highlight @raskin.house.gov's dissenting vote in Committee. He gets it, and I'm glad he put in the time to fully assess this bill and put this on the record. His full dissent is here, at the bottom: www.congress.gov/committee-re...

In an update to this story from February, Findem—a major US data broker that had previously dodged investigative requests—says it has now deleted code from its website that had hidden its opt-out page from Google for three years. www.wired.com/story/data-b...

Trump's China trip didn't achieve anything, you say? Who could've seen that coming? Me and a lot of other people? Oh. OK. Well, at least he had a nice time.

@governor.pa.gov pay attention

Statement from Ranking Member @meeks.house.gov after House Republicans again voted against an Iran War Powers Resolution:

Eric Trump is joining Trump's trip to China. Meanwhile, Eric runs the Trump Organization, the family business that has 25 international projects under development, which President Trump still owns and profits from.

President Trump picked a former GEO Group executive, David Venturella, to be the new acting head of ICE. Unsurprisingly, GEO Group’s stock is up roughly 7% since his appointment was announced. The ties between the Trump admin and the private prison company go deep 🧵

OK I dont like Trump but this is just mean
