I was all set to write a year end piece about how we went from Merrick Garland to Pam Bondi. Pivoting instead to what the latest evidence of political retribution means for democracy. This is insane. Sign-up to make sure you receive this and all Democracy Docket premium content. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

You are a saint to work so hard for us. Your dog in the picture on your shelf is adorable!

Take away Congress’ healthcare benefits.

WHY NOT? Medicare could be modified to benefit all American Citizens, not just the old. Instead of putzing around and getting nothing done, it's time for our elected officials to step up and join the other democratic nations that have already made healthcare a citizen's right.

Iraq 2.0

Start with taking 50% DOD budget for Medicare for All.

Write and burn!

Almost daily someone wants to tell me that I should mind my own business and stay out of US "politics". So almost daily I have to remind them that Trumpism affects global economics, environment and peace. I'll do what every concerned global citizen should do. I'll express my opinion. Loudly.

I can’t believe I spent a lot of time under my desk in elementary school bc Russia might nuke us.

President Biden has been awarded Germany’s highest honor, the Grand Cross of the Order of Merit and a ceremony in Berlin. The people love him. They call him “Dear Joe.” I read that the Irish love him too. In fact, he is loved worldwide.

According to a new study, members of Congressional leadership perform 47% better in stock market trades than their rank-and-file peers, thanks to access to nonpublic information. Today would be a great day to ban ALL elected officials from trading stock, don't you think?

The World's biggest Medicare Fraud, way to go Floriduh.

In Massachusetts, 74% of working-age recipients of food stamps are employed, half of them full-time. Nearly 2,500 work for Amazon and another 2,300 work for Walmart. Uber, DoorDash and Tempus Unlimited each have more than 1,400 workers who rely on SNAP www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/28/m...

Can we draw the US comparison to Ukraine be Texas, LA, Miss, Alabama and Fla?

Too wordy. Say murder and/or war crime.

Imagine if he had been president instead of W

Tell Congress: in the war against Putin’s aggression, there are not “fine people on both sides.” Stand with Ukraine. Not with Putin.

Fuck it, remove health coverage for ALL elected officials.

I stand with Mark Kelly.

Our insurance costs (home, health and auto) have gone up substantially this year. The increase is equivalent to some people's mortgages. I don't know how people are surviving this. Talking a lifetime of frugality being erased by greed.

If Donald Trump was really "America first," he'd stop billionaire corporations from cheating the U.S. government out of taxes. Instead, he's adding tax loopholes to let them off the hook and raising costs for everyone else.

Former Finnish PM Sanna Marin put it bluntly: “To end the conflict, Russia must leave Ukrainian territory.” Just one point. Nothing more to discuss.

Appalachian style.

In the 1970’s…this is what at least 70% of the chicken-frying, mashed-potato’s making grandmas…of all my friends looked like. If you grew up in a rural area in the 60’s or 70’s (or before) you know I speak the truth.

Happy Birthday President Biden. We miss you so much. 💙💙

Please join me in wishing President Joseph Biden a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎂 Today Joe turns 83 years fierce Thank you Joe for everything you have done and you are continuing to do for your love of the American People Wishing you strength and love My favorite photo of Joe

A House panel is holding a hearing on a proposed ban on Congressional stock trading. This ban is long overdue. Why should members of Congress be able to use privileged information to make money on the stock market, while they’re supposed to be working for you?

Dear GOP, If you’re gonna do anything with the tariff money, stop bailing out Argentina and passing out checks so Trump can pretend he’s personally writing these checks. Pay down the debt. For once

Laws not ethical standards.

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to buy, own, and sell individual stocks. Period. Let's make Congressional stock trading illegal.

Mark Carney is the best thing to happen to Canada in a long time. With his leadership we are growing stronger, increasing trade, and attracting the brightest minds. Keep it up Canada! Buy Canadian, travel local or go to Mexico - stay out of the U.S, support each other, and respect each other. 🇨🇦

Why are we not discussing the possibility of the United States of America as the "11th province"?

Perfectly stated. Thank you. www.dailykos.com/stories/2022...

one thing we need to do as a society is treat all fraud or theft over $100 million or so as a potential capital crime, with the possibility of execution for offenders.

Does the repeated 6’s in the CEO % pay difference a sign of the devil?

⚡️UPDATE: @SenatorHagerty (who is rich) says he will NOT sue to stuff his pockets with taxpayer dollars (for Jack Smith doing his job) Now @MarshaBlackburn is the only Tennessee senator who plans to enrich herself — it’s clear what kind of governor she’d be. #MarshasMoneyGrab

Wag the dog.

I live near an Army base. Woke up to the sound of bombing practice this morning.

Mob talk.

The CFPB has clawed back 21 bn since it started in 2011. CFPB recovered this money from improper fees companies charged consumers.
