Don't dance around it, don't make jokes about it, don't hedge as if it's merely suggestive of the possibility or we need more evidence to confirm. This is a literal signed confession that the president is a pedophile. He is guilty of that most monstrous of crimes. Say it plainly and directly.

It is fine to keep hammering away at "release the files" but there is a real danger here of underplaying how much this is itself already a smoking gun.

We are not living in a democracy any longer when our criminal justice system is used to selectively punish the President's political opponents and give his loyalists and friends immunity. We are becoming a banana republic in front our eyes and we cannot normalize it.

Y’all, Missouri needs our help📢 Spread the word… The GOP is trying to ram through another redistricting power grab, but there’s a secret weapon: a referendum —to block it. All it takes is 106,000 signatures across 6 districts. Let’s make sure Missouri voters, not politicians, decide. 1/3

A firefighter died Monday while working on repairs tied to a massive fire by the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.

It’s been a hard days night!

Rand Paul may not be right often. But when he's right, he right.

A president who accuses others of stolen valor perpetrates the political equivalent of stolen valor.

🚨BREAKING: The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is escalating its effort to pressure states to hand over sensitive voter data, including by threatening legal action, according to letters from a top department official obtained by Democracy Docket. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Can’t wait for @jaketapper.bsky.social’s book about this

Thank you, MSNBC. I love Jamie Raskin, but it was high time someone asked him…or anyone else talking about it, “But who is going to ENFORCE these Constitutional Amendments?!”

WOW. @marcelias.bsky.social goes off on the failures of legacy media: "We have an absolute collapse and failure by the institutions that have promised us that democracy would not die in darkness, that in fact, they stand for the proposition that democracy will die in plain sight of daylight."

Bill Barr—the AG when Epstein died—was in the hot seat today. But let me remind you: DOJ owes us the Epstein files beginning tomorrow. All of them. Client list included. (1/2)

here's clips of Elise Stefanik getting brutally booed at an event today in her district

I’m not sure how this could possibly be going any better.

Trump has done a lot of authoritarian things this year and IMO none of them is as authoritarian as restricting opposition legislators’ right to travel freely.

Collier: I refused to sign and so I was told that I was gonna have to stay here on the floor. They have locked the doors. The sergeants have been instructed not to allow me to leave until I have a permission slip.

As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous. Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.

Good morning friends ☀️☕️ Happy Monday! 😃 Have a wonderful day 💙

This man is a danger to us all.

Imagine this in Russian on Russian state TV The word for what Jesse Watters is describing here is un-American. A shredding of the constitution. There nothing funny about it.

NEWS: Annie Farmer, an Epstein survivor who testified against Ghislaine Maxwell, just revealed on CNN that she wrote a letter with her concerns to Deputy AG Blanche — and received no response. She says neither she nor other survivors have heard a word from the DOJ.

Jennings: I think the president is saying to the American people, why are we counting illegal aliens apportioning our political leadership? Kasparian: Because it's in the constitution, the United States constitution, the supreme court ruled on this in 2019, and they ruled against Trump

DEMOCRATS‼️ If you’re worried about fighting dirty, remember this—extreme partisan gerrymandering in North Carolina handed Republicans three extra seats and control of the House in 2024. Fighting fire with fire is long overdue.

Today we learned Andrew Cuomo is directly coordinating with Donald Trump, even as this President sends masked agents to rip our neighbors off the streets and guts the social services so many New Yorkers rely on. It’s disqualifying and a betrayal of our city.

He seems worried and upset. I hate when he's worried and upset.

I'M NOT MAD. PLEASE DON'T PRINT IN THE NEWSPAPER THAT I AM MAD

There is ZERO incentive for Ghislaine Maxwell to tell the truth.

NEWS: JD Vance had the Army Corps of Engineers raise the water level of an Ohio river so he could improve the kayaking conditions for his birthday outing (The Guardian)

VANCE: As an ice breaker, let's all name our favorite amendment to the Constitution. Pam? BONDI: Uh ... the First, I guess? BLANCHE: Can't represent the Big Guy without the Fifth! PATEL: #2 on the list, but #1 in my heart. All about the guns, son! VANCE: So ... no fans of the 25th huh

I hear the Vance strategy session has been cancelled for tonight. Pity. It looked like a productive agenda.

💥 ICE and neo-Nazis. Different names, same mission.

Raskin: "What we have is the Trump Justice Department organizing itself not around the interests of the survivors -- the people who were victimized by Maxwell and Epstein -- but rather organizing itself around protecting the perpetrators."

Pritzker: Neither Texas nor the FBI at the federal level has the authority to arrest these Texas Democrats They’re welcome to visit to take in the great views and enjoy the incredible restaurants we have. But they won’t be taking anyone home with them, or out of the state.

It’s great to be back in New York City. I spent a good deal of my childhood and teenage years in and around NYC. I’ve been back to promote my new book, “Coming Up Short.” I’m promising myself this is my last book tour. (Of course, I made the same promise with the last book.)

Each time I’m targeted, the volume of hate I receive — online and in correspondence — spikes. Some of it is deranged. Much of it is antisemitic. And it’s deeply conspiratorial. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/im-n...

Sen. Marsha Blackburn is the 3rd senator to officially run for governor this cycle, while at least 4 governors have turned down recruitment efforts to run for Senate.

Breaking news: President Trump said he would place a 100 percent tariff on all computer chips imported to the United States, but will exempt companies that commit to “building” on U.S. soil like Apple.

This morning, ICE rolled into a Home Depot parking lot using a moving truck loaded w/agents, like a Trojan horse, to snatch up Latino workers. Whoever they could find. No idea if they were undocumented or not. That’s not enforcement. That’s racial profiling, and violates a standing court order.

RFK Jr has been a liar for as long as I can remember.

Noticing a pattern here.
