This from the party that doesn't do handouts? Why not subsidize healthcare for every American and avoid costly tariff strategies that destroy businesses, eliminate jobs, and hijack the hard-earned income of honest hardworking folks. www.axios.com/2025/12/08/t...

"A military contractor with a lineage going back to the notorious mercenary firm Blackwater will help [ICE] track down a list of 1.5 million targeted immigrants." "In 2007, Blackwater mercenaries massacred 14 civilians in Baghdad." #USA #Iraq #Military #Surveillance #Deportation #EthnicCleansing

Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., says Trump’s military action in Venezuela is “unauthorized.” “Where will this go next? Will the President deploy our troops to protect Iranian protesters? To enforce the fragile ceasefire in Gaza? To battle terrorists in Nigeria? To seize Greenland or the Panama Canal?”

👇👇

So blowing up the dead body of the man Trump deliriously claims stole the 2020 presidential election from him was part of a *law enforcement operation* targeting an entirely different leader? Pull the other leg now.

Anyone saying it’s ok that the US bombing Venezuela & kidnapping its President (& wife) because ‘they were an Authoritarian Regime’ needs to accept that it’s ok for any other Nation to bomb the US & kidnap its President (& wife) because the USA is……….an Authoritarian Regime. Because it is.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

You know what a demented President does when his polls are in the shitter you bomb countries and start wars.

The treatment works best when started within 48 hours of symptom onset. Therefore, the CDC says treatment should not be withheld due to a negative test result if a person’s symptoms are consistent with the flu, especially if they are in a high risk group. www.goodmorningamerica.com/wellness/sto...

🚨 IMPORTANT: *Official* avg. 2026 #ACA rate hikes will likely be lower than KFF's 114% estimate for three critical reasons... ...all of which will be completely ignored by the Trump Regime a few weeks from now. acasignups.net/26/01/02/imp...

Arc de Trump or Arch de Narcissism? This isn’t about history or patriotism. It’s a psychological tell. A president so insecure and obsessed with himself that he needs monuments, and gold trim in order to feel like a king. And we’re forced to watch him spiral in real time.

Of interest: OpenAI president Greg Brockman provided $25 million to the president's political action committee in the second half of 2025. That led all individual donors. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I want to live in a country where the lives, wellbeing and happiness of trans kids aren't treated like a political toy that heartless cis adults use to bully and get their way. What cruelty.

Everyone who “partied” on Epstein’s island has gotten away with their crimes —and unless someone leaks the files, it’s very likely that they will continue their predatory behavior.

We are entering peak flu season, and a new variant is spreading quickly across the country, driving a sharp rise in illness and hospitalizations. https://to.pbs.org/45BmT4l

Texas state Rep. James Talarico (D) hauled in nearly $7 million in the fourth quarter of fundraising last year in the Texas Senate race, raking in more than $13 million since launching his bid in September, his campaign announced Friday. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

“This is a seismic, long-awaited correction of the scientific record,” said Dr. Philip J. Landrigan… “It pulls the veil off decades of industry efforts to create a false narrative that glyphosate is safe…People have developed cancers, and people have died because of this scientific fraud.”

Way to go, Cincinnati! Protesters “welcomed” JD Vance back to Ohio. Demonstrators lined the route of Vance’s motorcade. Signs reading “Yes, It’s Cold. We Won’t Stop,” “Stop the Cover-Up,” and “JD Protects Pedophiles.”

never forget...this is the level of ignorance we are up against:

The Lie Is Dead. Trump Keeps Talking Anyway. By Michael Jochum “Donald Trump continues to deny what happened on January 6 because lying is the only muscle he has left. And now, thanks to sworn testimony from Special Counsel Jack Smith, that lie has finally been nailed to the wall where it belongs.

The big data and increased computing power that enable artificial intelligence are emboldening Republicans to deploy more sophisticated techniques to make it harder for you to vote and easier for them to cheat next November. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

US media after Mamdani in office less than two damn days: He's just not living up to his campaign promises. US media after Trump in office one full year with not a single fucking campaign promise fulfilled: He's off to a great start! Me: Fuck the media.

When today’s far-right pundits use concerns about natural resource scarcity to push the anti-immigrant “great replacement theory,” they’re using a playbook created decades earlier by environmentalist and white nationalist John Tanton. (Published Oct. 2024)

Trump is using the #EpsteinFiles the same way Epstein did.

Baltimore Mayor: “Gun violence is a public health issue — we’re showing how to reduce violence the right way.”

A hearty congrats to RFK Jr., as the U.S. is poised to lose its measles elimination status after 25 years, with the most cases since the early 1990s.

It’s crazy how so many in media stayed away from talking about Trump’s obvious mental and physical decline explicitly when some of us have been beating the drum about it for a few years relentlessly, but after a legacy outlet (WSJ) does a story now it’s suddenly ok to go there.

With inequality at Gilded Age levels and more billionaires than ever, the Republican message is poor people have it too good

My heart breaks.

Gupta: He keeps citing this constant passing of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment test… This is not a tool that the general public should be utilizing with that level of frequency unless there’s a reason to do it—which is to assess and monitor the evolution of mild dementia or impairment.

Gupta: As we age, sometimes we get a CT of the coronary arteries, a coronary calcium scan, which he actually had in 2018. At the time, there was some evidence of calcification in his coronary arteries… Now suddenly it’s completely normal. That doesn’t make a lot of sense.

Republicans rushed tax cuts for the wealthy but delayed their cuts to Medicaid and food assistance. Why? So they don't kick in until after the midterms. Help spread the word.

#ProudBlue #Voices4Victory 🤬 🤬 🤬 Trump has NOT lifted a finger to help working Americans. Not with energy costs, groceries, or housing. Not a damn thing. But he has time to fuck’n golf & shop for marble for his new ballroom that nobody needs. www.alternet.org/trump-ballro...

George Santos still has hearings coming. New York is not done with him yet. Further developments in Santos' legal situation will likely continue to unfold as he navigates the aftermath of his congressional career and the consequences of his actions. He owes people money.

FUUUCK!!!

Good for Reuters for changing their headline. Pressure works. Grok did not do this. Elon Musk did.

"The Church cannot stay silent before injustice.” Will it be the pope who defeats MAGA? He met with US bishops,read letters from terrified migrants, then urged bishops to speak out firmly on how migrants are being treated. Leo XIV is answering cruelty with the Gospel. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

This matters. A full slate drives turnout, especially in a state with chronic voter apathy. www.texastribune.org/2025/12/17/t...

FOLKS NEED TO REALIZE HOW HUGE THIS IS For the first time in modern Texas history, Dems have candidates running in every state and federal race on the 2026 ballot. That includes all congressional seats, every state House and state Senate race, plus statewide judicial and State Board of Education.

It’s 2026 and one of the first things that has happened is that a major news outlet has announced that it will no longer seek information from experts. I don’t think this is gonna help with what I think is the most existential threat to our society currently: disinformation.

This would be cringily appalling if it were not so appallingly cringey. Also a junior varsity attempt at being Fox News will not work.

CBS News has capitulated but Democracy Docket never will. I created it without any corporate backers or private equity investors. It's only accountable to its members who help support its 22-person team. Become one now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Minnesota officials have until next week to provide the Trump administration with information about providers and parents who receive federal child care funds or risk losing potentially millions of dollars in federal funding, state officials said Friday.

These people should be haunted with their ridiculous and disingenuous Trump defenses for the rest of their lives ... until long after Trump is gone and the cult spell is broken. Trump defenders should not be allowed to rewrite their words in the future.

ANYTHING to distract from the #Epsteinfiles! Wait til he hears about the #Palestinians! Wait, WHAT?!...
