Democracy Docket subscribers just met the newest member of our family. Blue!

Ty Cobb: "The simple theme is rewriting history. Trump wants to rewrite history so the next generation may not know that he incited a violent insurrection... America needs to learn from the mistakes that we've had. And one of the biggest mistakes that America ever had was reelecting President Trump"

Thought I gift linked to it. Here you go. READ it. Your welcome. GIFT. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/28/m...

“….The force of evil plans To make you its possession And it will if we let it Destroy everybody We all must take Precautionary measures If love and please you treasure Then you'll hear me when I say … Oh that Love's in need of love today…” @punkandnewwave.bsky.social

I didn't get what I wanted for my birthday this year (release of the #EPSTEIN_PedoFiles), but I DID get 4 Yahtzees in a single game & that's better than nothing.

He wants to dictate what the press can say. What a university can teach. Whom a company can employ. And to whom the law shall apply. He who wants all this is not a president, But strives to be a dictator. And all who succumb are not citizens, But subjects.

Heartbroken by news of yet another senseless act of violence this morning at a house of worship. No American should ever fear for their safety - least of all when gathering peacefully to pray - and yet tragedies like this have become frequent.

CEO pay is up 1,094% since 1978, while worker pay is up just 26%. Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Obama is Exactly 💯 Correct ! And ROEVEMBER Is Just Around The Corner.......

I listened and it was one of the most chilling conversations I’ve ever heard.

Oregon AG Rayfield: I know for a fact, from talking to cities across Oregon, that if you pick up the phone and ask, “What could be helpful?” the answer would not be the United States military.

79. American citizen.

omggg it was so nice seeing so many Black hikers on the trail this morning 🥹 especially the families 😭 I gave them the most genuine "good mornings" lmao seeing my people in nature truly warmed my heart

LOOK ALL AT THE GRAFFITI, SENATOR!!! WE MUST CALL IN THE 101ST AIRBORNE!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!! #WarRavagedPortland

GRAND BLANC, Mich. (AP) — Police say 1 person dead and 9 injured in shooting at Michigan church.

This is rich..

💯

🔥 RICHARD MASSEY: “No one here in MEMPHIS asked for military occupation… this is not a war on crime, it’s a war on the working class… we know better than to sign off on our city becoming a blueprint for authoritarianism.”

About James Comey #jamescomey #dojweaponization #trumphitlist I agree 110%. Scam Bondi should have discussed this with McFelon, but I continue to question her law degree. Stay tuned. This will be a hoot.

Any bakeries in Chicagoland picking up this torch? I need to know!

I understand bailing out farmers who suffered some sort of natural disaster or blight to their crops from a parasite, disease, etc. But that’s not what is happening. They can’t sell their abundant crops because of one man. Trump did it, he can pay the farmers out of his crypto.

as far as i can tell, people are having substantive conversations about ezra’s interview with ta-nehisi, but then i’m not thomas chatterton williams, professional dilettante and, apparently, liar

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

You know what treason looks like? A convicted criminal using the White House to send troops as his personal army to peaceful American cities that he hates in order to instill fear and create chaos.

Ladies and gents, presenting my Mini-me.. 😄🐎🐴🥰 #horse #calf #unboxing

Multiple people were shot at a Michigan church, which was also set on fire, authorities say abcnews.go.com/US/multiple-...

Former FBI Deputy Director McCabe says he hasn't been contacted "at all" by the FBI about Comey and adds, "if my interactions with Comey was gonna be the basis of this entire prosecution, it's unbelievable that prosecutors wouldn't at least want to sit down and hear what I have to say about it."

The orange felon sent troops to Oregon because he’s a vindictive dangerous bully wannabe dictator who is hellbent on revenge as well as doing everything he can to keep the Epstein Files hidden. He should have been sent to prison for life, not given full power.

The function of the American health care system is to make huge profits for the insurance and drug companies. Not acceptable. Our job is to fight for the U.S. to join the rest of the industrialized world and guarantee health care to all as a human right.

Our mainstream media is pathetically feckless.

My dad taught us about Satchel Page. His career lasted for five decades. He was the first Black player inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame. He played for the Negro League and for the Major League Baseball (MLB).

Klobuchar: "When I questioned AG Bondi during her confirmation hearing, she assured me that politics would not play a role, that they would make independent decisions. That is not what this is. This is a vengeance prosecution. It is not about the law."

MICHIGAN: “Multiple people shot at a Mormon church 50 miles north of Detroit… church on fire…” apnews.com/article/morm...

Andy McCarthy: "The indictment almost fails as an indictment in that it doesn't give you notice of what Comey has actually done. But factually there's nothing there. So this smacks of wanting to put Comey through the process, which is what lawfare is."

FDA approved the abortion pill mifepristone 25 years ago. So why is RFK Jr. raising questions about it now? He's trying to roll back abortion access nationwide. I'll keep fighting against attempts to restrict access—because medication abortion is safe and effective. Period.

🤣🤣

Van Hollen: "It's good to see the president finally get off the golf course and decide to talk. He's been much more focused, as we all know, on keeping the Epstein files locked up than keeping the government open."

An illuminating Report from inside the war zone

It’s a fact. Data from three decades of political violence reveals that right-wing terror attacks outnumber attacks from the left. And it’s not even close!

Yes, you. 🩷🫵🩷 #musicsky

it may feel a little like homework, but i genuinely think people should read the lincoln-douglas debates to see what the practical politics of anti-slavery looked like in an environment where the public was neutral to hostile to the question of emancipation

Republicans would rather shut down the government than help millions of Americans afford health care. This article tells some of their stories, and is a good reminder of what’s at stake.

“Show us your warrant!” “Ma’am, you’ve been watching too many movies. We’ll show you the warrant after we’re done.” 🤔 *busts in the door with babies crying*
