Brett Meiselas says RFK Jr. blaming teenagers' sperm and Dr. Oz saying Americans are "under babied" are not only weird—they miss the point. The reason people aren't having kids is simple: income inequality has become so extreme that Americans can barely afford housing and food, let alone raise kids.

America's chief Middle East negotiator - Jared Kushner - is almost completely dependent on Middle East government investment in his chief business. It's probably the biggest conflict of interest in American diplomatic history and we should be talking about this way more.

The Purcell principle was always a legal fiction applied selectively. But we are now beyond mere inconsistency. The Court has used the Purcell principle to erode any trust that there is any principle at all. My latest: www.democracydocket.com/opinion/purc...

Dr. Rubeliz Bolivar Barrios has been released! She should never have been locked away by ICE. As an emergency and trauma doctor, she served patients in South Texas with dedication. I am grateful that she will be reunited with her 5 year-old daughter Milena and husband.

Of course, Scalise makes an Idiotic Argument…..

America didn’t turn ugly because he became President. No. He became President because America was already this ugly. That’s the uncomfortable truth nobody wants to admit.

Perfect campaign ad for the upcoming Midterms. 👌

PabloReports: Ted Cruz called you a parasite and disparaged your work as a bartender. AOC: I think it’s funny that he’s been taking a government paycheck for 23 years but has the audacity to criticize someone who has come from a family that had to work their way up and earn their place here.

The first honest thing he’s said

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

Let this radicalize you

Powerful. Trump & Republicans are working to establish Permanent GOP Minority Rule by suppressing our right to vote. We must band together, regardless of party, to keep our right to elect our own government. youtu.be/e9qatSWt2xQ

This is only breaking news to members of his cult.

A diplomatic disaster unfolded in the heart of Rome. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio flew to Italy with a list of aggressive demands, expecting the European ally to fall in line behind the escalating war in Iran. Instead, he was met with a stone-cold "No." No using their soil offensive attacks.

If we actually want to appreciate moms, we should be providing free childcare, healthcare, and guaranteed income for stay-at-home parents to put more money in families’ pockets and ensure no SAHP is reliant on a partner for their economic security. Idk I think that’s better than 15% off a vacuum.

Most Definitely ♥️

Praise gawd these folks are rocket scientists, gynecologists, interior decorators, contractors, Eugenically created PHD genes…. Do they do windows?

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito leaned on an erroneous claim that Black voter turnout now tops white voter turnout, in his Callais v. Louisiana ruling that gutted the Voting Rights Act, reports The Guardian. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Here’s one for you: *"Nothing says ‘freedom’ like choosing between student loan payments or groceries while your senator votes to subsidize corporate yachts. Democracy in action, folks."* (279 characters) **Why it works:** - **Irony:** Contrasts personal financial strain with

Total shocker. Alito’s argument for why black people don’t need voting rights protections is based on fraudulent statistics.

I could not have said it better!!!❤️💯

Good. More evidence that Trump's enablers are cracking.

A Georgia couple who terrorized a Black family at a child's birthday party with Confederate flags, racial slurs, guns, and death threats were sentenced for a hate crime. Joe Torres got 20 years; Kyla Norton got 15.

"72% of the white population is put into one district. 75% of the Black population is carved into two,” Sen. Jeff Yarbro of Nashville said. “We are being asked to believe that it’s just the luck of the draw, just happenstance.” Within hours of a new congressional map passing, the NAACP filed suit.

Multiple women serving sentences for nonviolent crimes at the minimum security prison where Ghislaine Maxwell is now serving time were punished for speaking to reporters about the special treatment Maxwell receives. At least two women were transferred to higher security facilities as punishment.

And the Supreme Court cries foul..fuck them all

Tennessee and countless other states have been speaking out against what is basically a Jim Crow session

Mainstream TV news has shifted from “inform the public” to “don’t offend power.” The worst part is the tone: everything is delivered like a calm weather report while the country is on fire. These past anchors understood that journalism is supposed to apply pressure. Not host a brunch panel.

Our rights aren't gone:

More of Trump screwing ordinary Americans.

Did anyone check on the spider?

“If you say something that the president or this administration does not like, they’re going to come after you. The president is trying to silence us, and I can’t think of anything more un-American.” -Sen. Mark Kelly

Wow, and they lied to us?? Who would have thought.

Sen. Mark Kelly: "If you say something that the president or this administration does not like, they're going to come after you. The president is trying to silence us, and I can't think of anything that's more un-American."

His dumb ass supporters will treat it as some huge victory rather than the billions of dollar and thousands of lives waste that it is.
