Zero surprise that the new GOP is manufacturing these horrible young men www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

The National Archives under the Trump administration released @mikiesherrill.bsky.social full, unredacted Navy personnel file to Jack Ciattarelli's campaign. This is an unprecedented and illegal weaponization of the National Archives and private, personal records to attack a political opponent.

We just won our lawsuit against the DHS after a judge ruled the department can't hold life-saving disaster relief funds hostage to advance its anti-immigration efforts. The federal government cannot prioritize its cruel immigration agenda over Americans' safety.

Missouri Gov Kehoe is going to sign the new gerrymandered Congressional map on Sunday. The map cuts Kansas City into three slices, like a 🍕 , and notably puts one precinct into two different congressional districts… governor.mo.gov/press-releas...

The response to this essay that was sent to premium members earlier today was so overwhelming that Democracy Docket decided to publish it for free on its website. I am touched by all of your comments and kind words of support. Please, read, share and enjoy! www.democracydocket.com/opinion/what...

hey, look. the puzzle website masquerading as a newspaper has a new hot take.

Marc Elias, one of the Democratic Party’s most prominent lawyers, welcomed any converts to his brand of brass-knuckle politics. “I do not believe, when it comes to elections, that Democrats should ever engage in any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith,” Mr. Elias said.

"With the Senate negotiating a budget bill that would outright ban states from regulating AI for the next decade, parents stand to be left alone to navigate yet another grand social experiment conducted on their children - this time with graver circumstances than we’ve yet encountered."

To mark the 10-year anniversary of an historic week, @barackobama.bsky.social chatted with @garrisonhayes.bsky.social, an online creator about the themes from that moment that resonate today – that making progress in a democracy relies on ordinary people doing their best to make America better.

Offline, LA residents report normalcy. Trump says there’s mass carnage. This article is good - it describes the alternate realities on divergent platforms. The feeling of not being able to trust your eyes. But it uses the word “misinformation” and that’s not it. www.cnn.com/2025/06/10/m...

this is a very smart, thoughtful, clarifying conversation. worth a listen. via @moreperfectunion.bsky.social @richardreeves.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=awU5...

a smart, important message to the next generation.

The law firm capitulation deals are looking worse and worse but Shari Redstone tells Brad Karp: hold my beer. Paramount could fight in court to get its deal through and mitigate normal business frictions. Or it could light its brand, reputation and legacy on fire and open itself to bribery charges.

My take on the consequences of the media's "original sin." member.democracydocket.com/the-medias-o...

Paul Weiss has become a symbol for the disgrace of capitulation to Trump. The once proud firm has been ridiculed by Trump, criticized by judges, and has started losing partners. Now the right-wing is looking to cash the check it wrote to pay off Trump. It may complain, but it will cave.

What media you support is a statement of your priorities and your values. If you think Trump needs to work more effectively with a GOP Congress, support The Washington Post. If you believe we must fight for our democracy, then consider becoming a Democracy Docket subscriber today. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

Which news outlet is actually informing its readers about what happened?

We make jokes about this sometimes because it’s laughable. But when journalists try to make sense of the nonsensical, rational out of the irrational, and coherence out of the incoherence, they affirmatively do the public interest great harm.

Four months into the Trump presidency, CNN revisits the question of who is now older, Trump or Biden: the answer may surprise you.

but lets talk more about the george clooney fundraiser

Shari Redstone thinks she’s saving her company from financial peril. But her legacy will now be the who oversaw the decimation of what was once the most revered news operation in the world.

“As a media critic, I’m always happy to see a good reckoning for the mainstream press. But this one makes me wonder. When is the reckoning coming for the failures to cover Trump effectively?” - @sulliview.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... via @us.theguardian.com

Hey NY Times-- It is still a "fringe theory" -- every court has rejected it. There is still a "broad consensus" -- John Eastman is a disgraced lawyer under indictment. The only thing that has changed is the Times.

Stephen Miller: We're seriously looking into feeding the entire constitution to Elon's wood chipper. CNN: BREAKING: New book reveals startling revelations - Joe Biden is old.

I get that people have to sell books. And I get that DNC Vice-Chair elections matter. But if a Democratic President accepted a $400 million gift from the Qatari royal family, coverage would be breathless, non-stop and wall-to-wall -- no room for any other story.

Why hire a law firm that gives in easily to Trump's threats?🙄

Justice Sotomayor calls out lawyers caving to Trump: “If you’re not used to fighting losing battles, don’t become a lawyer," she said. “Our job is to stand for people who can’t do it themselves.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

A busy week in court.

solid. surprised all of these lawyers are staying put at firms that are now in Trump's pocket. news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/...

smart of @rep-jeffrieshakeem.bsky.social These so-called moderate House Republicans have claimed they are opposed to cuts to food assistance and Medicaid - now they can prove it: all we need is five Republicans to join Dems to prevent massive cuts to Medicaid and SNAP.

Look!👀 The right wing rag -- The Federalist -- accidentally told the truth about why Trump keeps targeting me.😂

another blockbuster story on Trump's self-enrichment as he wrecks the economy for the rest of us. the scale of the corruption is unfathomable for any other President - Democrat or Republican. Dems should be hammering.

The media's ongoing, preemptive surrenders to Trump only strengthen his hand and prove the intimidation tactics work.

"Do you just cower in the corner? Do you just try to disappear? Do you just leave democracy to-- fend for itself? Or do you stand tall and do the best you can every day to-- represent your clients and try to preserve the rule of law?" [email protected]

Not a complicated political message: Trump is enriching himself while the rest of us get clobbered.

Donald Trump’s latest corruption? A $2 BILLION stablecoin deal with a foreign crypto company that will benefit the Trump family business. And it gets worse — the Senate is getting ready to bless this kind of grift. But it's not too late to make changes. Here's the latest:

couldn't be more clear: Trump and his cronies are getting richer as they wreck the economy for the rest of us.

this is just the beginning. hearing of multiple corporate clients leaving law firms that capitulated to Trump. it’s only logical: if you’re in a face off with federal government, you can’t retain a law firm with conflicted interests.

the corruption unfolding in plain sight is of a massive scale. dems should be all over this.

LMAO -- a reporter breaks news during a briefing to State Department spox Tammy Bruce that her boss Marco Rubio is the new national security adviser "I just heard this from you," Bruce says

where we are

Heading into WHCD Weekend: -head of longest running news program resigns citing corporate pressures -WHCA fires comedian after she criticizes Trump -one of POLITICO’s own says he was asked to censor critical reporting about Trump.

a recognition that could not be more deserved. if you want to support an organization that is doing the hard work of protecting our country's values, check out @democracyforward.org and its fearless leader @skyeperryman.bsky.social

an important and smart move from Harvard. law firms and universities caving to Trump have exercised horrible judgement.

an aggressive, smart play from one of our Party's strongest leaders. if Democrats are going to regain our footing, we have to offer a cogent pitch to improve peoples economic situation. Ro is doing just that here. 👇
