@govpritzker.illinois.gov has signed a law that that allows people to sue ICE agents for unlawful detentions & BANS immigration arrests around Illinois courthouses. This is a #CupOfJoe that EVERY Democratic governor should be serving!

He expects us to believe his orders to murder boaters and bully Venezuela is about stopping drug dealers.

TODAY IS THE DAY! VOTE AFTYN 4 CONGRESS, GET OUT AND VOTE. Polls are open 7 AM - 7 PM WE GOT THIS!!!!!!

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500. And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

They’re murdering people they merely “suspect” of being drug traffickers, yet Trump wants to pardon former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández—who was convicted and sentenced to 45 years for trafficking 400 tons of cocaine into the United States. Wait, what?

This is insane last year cost 73.00 Are we great yet?

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone. Don't fall for it.

For what it’s worth, as a commander and officer it was my duty, moral obligation, and legal requirement to first question and then to not obey any illegal order I was given. The same is true for everyone who swear their oath. Hope that clears things up.

Women are watching abusive dynamics play out on the national stage and for many it feels very, very familiar to what they’ve experienced regularly— I hope midterms are a referendum

Epstein survivors just dropped a powerful message for Congress, and it hits like a warning: no more waiting, the truth is coming, ready or not. Watch till the end @housedemocrats.bsky.social @houserepublicans.bsky.social

This is Priscilla Williams-Till, a cousin of Emmett Till. She’s running for the U.S. Senate in Mississippi, against GOP incumbent Cindy Hyde-Smith who infamously joked about attending a lynching in 2018.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Crockett: When you go and you hit those booths come the midterms, think about which party decided that it was okay to literally be on vacation while people were going hungry in the streets of America.

SNAP Benefits

Why are ICE agents being paid during the shutdown, but not air traffic controllers? 🤨

Tell me more about ‘Sleepy Joe.’

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

The only thing that has improved Democrats’ approval rating among their voters has been fighting back against Trump. We cannot afford another “Schumer Surrender.” Urge your Democratic senators to continue holding the line to keep healthcare costs down and protect coverage for millions of Americans.

Excessive force. PERIOD! They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor. 📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance. The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income. They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive. Wanna fix fraud and abuse? Fix that.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 85th day out of the last 97. 12 days of work in over 3 months. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Tim Walz: "People are gonna be lined up out here to get food, and we're talking about a damn ballroom. Don't lose the plot."

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

I love this for many reasons and tbh if we had the resources for it, I’d run RFS food drives/candidate recruitment campaigns myself.

This is the Canada ad Trump lost his mind over. Shocker, he’s lying—it is Reagan’s real voice. He’s now cutting off trade with Canada because he’s scared it could mess with the Supreme Court case over his “reciprocal” tariffs.

For anyone North Carolinian, if you can be downtown today it is so important to attend the redistricting watch rally! Try to attend the committee meeting as well at 2pm and you can sign up to make a public comment. #ncpol

Top 10 Rally Reminders for #NoKingsDayOct18th

We can’t pay air traffic controllers during the shutdown, making us less safe, but we can send $40 billion to bail out Argentina. Make it make sense.

It's been less than a week since Pearson announced his run for U.S. Congress, but the campaign is already garnering national attention and support from groups who want younger politicians in office. Read more about Pearson's campaign launch rally on Saturday: www.nashvillescene.com/news/pithint...

If Mike Johnson is refusing to call the House back into session during the shutdown, then we’ll do the work right here the Bronx. The New York Essential plan is being eliminated entirely next year due to the GOP healthcare cuts. People’s lives are at stake. And that’s why we’re fighting back.

Seriously, Folks...

Portland continues to amaze me 👏

Never forget that when Bondi was appointed, Democracy Docket immediately called her out while The Washington Post gave her a thumbs up. If you value independent, pro-democracy media that won't bow down or obey, support Democracy Docket today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0
