I keep hearing people cry “the military should do something.” They don’t respond well when I say unilateral military action to remove a Pres is the last thing we need. That We the People are the line of defense, so link arms, lift up, lean on, & shield those you trust, because they are the help.

We truly are. Viewing it any other way, involves wrapping our arms around a very ugly lie...that will absolutely lead to our collective demise: the idea that "someone else" is going to take care of it.

Find the closest mirror, and look into it. The person looking back at you...that...is the only person coming to your rescue. The question, is will you finally accept this? It's the most truthful and empowering fact you can embrace.

I’m going to be posting a lot about the ICE murderer in Minneapolis. I could do without the “I don’t want to hear from you unless he’s arrested” replies. With Kash Patel obstructing the state probe, it could be a while. If you don’t want the news in the meantime, just scroll on by.

Democracy Docket now has 22 employees and publishes seven days a week. Its YouTube channel is growing. All if this without a single dollar from corporate investors. It relies on $10mo subscriptions to keep 95% of its content entirely free for all. You can sign up for free or paid.

In addition to my firm, I founded Democracy Docket to be an independent, pro-democracy news site. As legacy media retreats from its voting and election coverage and bends a knee to Trump, that work has also increased exponentially.

However, it is daunting. DOJ has unlimited resources and the GOP network of election deniers and legal groups that support them is vast. There is nothing remotely comparable on the left. And that is before you get to the challenges of the current composition of the courts, including SCOTUS.

We are a small firm of 60 lawyers currently litigating 80 voting, election and redistricting cases. I am not complaining. Defending democracy is the honor of my life. Yet, it is notable that Big Law is almost entirely absent from these fight. I wrote about this earlier this week.

The Department of Justice has sued 24 states and the District of Columbia for access to sensitive voter data on more than 100,000,000 Americans. My law firm has intervened on behalf of voters to fight DOJ in 23 of the 25 cases. Tomorrow we will do the same in the remaining two. Stay tuned.

Democrats just retained two Richmond-area seats in back-to-back special elections in Virginia: Mike Jones is headed back to the General Assembly — as a state senator — after winning Virginia Senate District 15. In House District 77, Democrat Charlie Schmidt won a special election of his own.

Better yet, disestablish all of DHS, and undo the nightmarish idiocies that we created in a panic 25 years ago. Reestablish the INS, get rid of ODNI, fix the damage from the Patriot Act, etc.

Yes but I doubt this SCOTUS would narrow the pardon power. Which is why we also must elect someone willing to add term limits for justices by giving them senior status after a certain number of years, that way you don’t have to amend the constitution

I just want to say for the record that when the history books are written centuries from now, I believe the election of Donald Trump in a free and fair election in 2024 will go down as one of the most senseless and self-destructive own goals in human history

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?
