🚨BREAKING: President Donald Trump urged Republicans to seize control of elections and place voting under national authority Monday — one of his most explicit signals yet that he plans to interfere with the workings of democracy. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

NEW: A federal judge blocked DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s attempt to require members of Congress to provide seven days notice before conducting in-person oversight visits to ICE detention facilities. The ruling marks the second time in the past few months Noem’s mandate has been temporarily halted.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

"If ICE had never come to our city, Renee Nicole Good would be waking up today. Her child would be able to play with the stuffed animals from the glovebox. But because Trump sent ICE to Minneapolis, none of that is going to happen." open.substack.com/pub/ofthebra...

Why does it look like the President is seeing the information on his statement for the first time as he reads it?

Hopefully writing articles of impeachment.

So “a million more documents” is now “roughly 5.2 million pages of Epstein files documents” And they’re “seeking to enlist about 400 lawyers” to do doc review, which means they don’t even have the people yet to get it done Trump & Pamela Jo are just slow-walking the shit out of violating the law.

I trust major news organizations, members of Congress, and public interest groups are publicizing their secure tip lines so DOJ and FBI employees with knowledge of political interference in the Epstein files review process, can explain safely and confidentially what they saw.

The first paragraph of Judge Breyer‘s opinion granting an injunction in the California National Guard case is a banger.

BREAKING: Republican-led House and Senate committees say they will amplify their scrutiny of the Pentagon after a WaPo report revealing that Pete Hegseth gave a spoken order to kill all crew members aboard a vessel suspected of smuggling drugs in the Caribbean several weeks ago.

The Supreme Court recently granted review in an important case for the outcome of the 2026 elections. At stake is the fate of countless mail-in ballots. No one is covering this like Democracy Docket. Support our work by subscribing today. https://bit.ly/47a0rR6

SCOTUS agreed to hear arguments in a GOP-led lawsuit challenging Mississippi’s law allowing a five-day grace period for late-arriving ballots mailed by Election Day. If the court delivers a Republican ruling, mail voting in 16 states could be upended. https://bit.ly/47AbVO7

BREAKING: Democratic Rep. Adelita Grijalva has finally been sworn in after a 7-week delay.

Breaking on MSNBC: Rep. Adelita Grijalva has officially signed the Epstein discharge petition. She was the 218th signature — the final name needed.

Just wrote an upbeat (!) Morning Shots. I mean, if not today, when? We should relish this moment. For a few hours. Because we should realize that these results are going to make the Trump administration even more aggressive about tilting the 2026 playing field, and we need to be ready for that.

From the House Oversight Committee report published last week: “The authority to grant pardons is not provided to the president’s inner circle. ... The president must make the decisions, and the courts can hold pardons void if the decisions are made by others.”

The Trump administration replaced a sentencing memo that had described the Jan. 6 attack as being carried out by a “mob of rioters,” after suspending the prosecutors who wrote it.

BREAKING: A *separate* federal court in Rhode Island just ordered the Trump admin to pay for SNAP benefits during the shutdown — saying the government "must distribute" aid using emergency funds and that the benefits should be paid as soon as possible.

Reuters: US JUDGE RULES TRUMP ADMINISTRATION'S PLAN TO SUSPEND SNAP FOOD AID BENEFITS DURING SHUTDOWN IS LIKELY UNLAWFUL

Kosta Diamantis abused the public trust and will be held accountable. We are monitoring the criminal proceeding closely and are actively considering all options to fully protect the state’s interests and taxpayer dollars.

Today Trump confirmed that instead of helping you with rising costs, he's sending $20 BILLION of your money to...wait for it...Argentina. Why? Because he wants to keep his right wing friend there in power, and he wants to help the billionaires who benefit from a bailout.

Kat’s campaign is an advertisement for contagious courage.

Trump recently signed an executive order declaring antifa a domestic "terrorist organization." The declaration may be absurd, but Trump's endgame is clear: to allow the government to label everyday citizens as terrorist threats in order to suppress protests and silence opposition.

Graham Platner understands the struggles of everyday Mainers because he is one. Leaders We Deserve is proud to endorse him.

Maybe the upside to the government shutdown is that ICE agents are not being paid.

The NFL must act NOW to stop ICE from targeting the Super Bowl LX where Bad Bunny will be performing at the halftime show, before it’s too late.

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs: 1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt? 2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies? 3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

Yet another incident that would’ve gotten any other president immediately impeached that is only the 127th worst thing Trump has done in 2025.

Friends, For all of you wondering what you can do to protect voting rights, make your way over to the Election Assistance Commission (EAC) website by Oct 20, 2025 and enter your comment urging the EAC to reject the America First petition seeking to restrict voting access.

Save the date: On Oct. 8, Reps. Ro Khanna, Thomas Massie, and Marjorie Taylor Greene will hold a press conference — joined by survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse — to discuss the discharge petition to force a vote on Khanna and Massie's bill, the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

"The twentieth century’s worst episodes did not begin with gunfire. They began with named categories—“parasites,” “vermin,” “degenerates,” “enemies of the people”—ways of talking that prepared the ground for ways of acting." newrepublic.com/article/2009...
