So Argentina gets a $40 billion bailout from our tax dollars but devastated small towns here at home — nothing.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96. 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.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

May I present a former clerk to Justice Gorsuch.

$170B for ICE and Border Patrol $40B for Argentina $1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet $230M for Trump's DOJ "compensation" $200M for Kristi Noem's jets $98M for Trump's golf outings But no money to lower your healthcare costs.

I wish I could say I am surprised. But I'm not. The Washington Post gives "credit to the Republican legislators of Indiana and Kansas" while criticizing "Democrats in Virginia." Every day they find a new way to get worse. Support independent, pro-democracy Democracy Docket. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation. Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

Donald Trump is telling his DOJ to prosecute people involved in defeating him in 2020. He will claim the 2025 California referendum was fraudulent. He is going to try to impose voter ID and ban mail-in and early voting for 2026. I will do everything I can in the courtroom and in public to stop him.

🚨ICE posing as sheriff in Hollywood, CA. Governor Newsom is going to see this and he is going to be lit with rage, as he should be. The guy asking questions on video pointing out all the illegal acts they are committing. Let’s make sure he sees what happened tonight. 1/2

🩸🩸🩸 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon who incites political violence, adjudicated rapist & pedophile Trump did 🩸🩸🩸

ICE and CBP GOONS are patrolling Chicago in unmarked civilian cars, kidnapping and disappearing people for filming.

Your gentle reminder that Rep. Melissa Hortman was assassinated on June 14 and hardly anyone bothered to talk about it .

A win! The 9th Circuit allowed Judge Karin Immergut’s restraining order against deploying National Guard troops in Portland to remain in effect while the full appeals court decides whether to rehear the case.

Federal inflation data was postponed for the first time in years as a government shutdown delayed economic reports.

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

Burchett is Burchetting again.

JUST IN: The ENTIRE East Wing of the White House has officially been DEMOLISHED, per AP.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

DO NOT BE DISTRACTED!!! TRUMP & EPSTEIN ARE SEX TRAFFICKERS!!! I’m gonna post this every day so nobody forgets exactly who Pedophile Trump is and why the Epstein files have suddenly disappeared.

Senate is back in session today. 1/ So a quick 🧵on where things are at on the shutdown. You get a lot of propaganda and spin thrown at you, so I want to give you the real, behind-the-scenes tea.

You need to see this: “The show of force is the point. They want these images to be out…The Department of Homeland Security is walking around Chicago with a film crew.” @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social

"Authoritarianism, it's a cancer. The symptoms are here, today... We thought it couldn't happen here... and now the disease is growing, metastasizing in America. But there is a cure—it requires you. On October 18, Americans will stand up, peacefully, for what makes America, America." nokings.org

This is what ice is doing

This is Adelita Grijalva. She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files. She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

I refuse to let hopelessness prevail. This may just be one essay, by a lawyer few have heard of, in a newsletter read by a fraction of the public. But I will not stay silent. Will you? www.democracydocket.com/opinion/i-re...

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in. Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators. The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Love this. Superbly done. Please send this far and wide. @donwinslow.bsky.social

Oh look the party that screams “family values” every five minutes is silent when one of their megachurch darlings pleads guilty to child sex abuse. But they’ll trip over themselves to ban books and attack drag shows. Tells you everything you need to know.

NEW: This week, Democracy Docket reported live from El Paso, where Jen Rice covered a hearing that could shape control of Congress. Meanwhile, Trump warned military leaders of an “enemy from within.” Catch up on the week’s biggest headlines below👇 https://bit.ly/48fFdT4

Somewhere in America, a young Hispanic girl is hiding in an attic writing a diary.

History repeats.

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of four New Hampshire voters, my law firm has filed a motion to intervene in the DOJ’s lawsuit seeking the state’s full, unredacted voter registration list. www.democracydocket.com/cases/new-ha...

DO NOT LOOK AWAY!!!! TRUMP & EPSTEIN ARE SEX TRAFFICKERS!!! I’m gonna post this every day so nobody forgets exactly who Pedophile Trump is and why the Epstein files have suddenly disappeared.

I can’t imagine being insane enough to write and threaten a judge with “tanks and pardons” in support of literally any President. It’s a fucking cult.

I kid you not. Americans are now subsidizing Argentinian soybean exports to China. At the same time. American farmers are selling none to China.

Reminder that US Attorney Alex Acosta was one of the first of many to protect Epstein, made a ridiculous non-prosecution deal with Epstein that denied the victims their day in court, denied them justice. Currently Acosta is on the Newsmax board of directors m.youtube.com/watch?v=m-rE...

Remember: Undocumented immigrants pay billions of dollars in taxes every year. They pay into government funded healthcare programs, but can't access them except in case of emergency. Emergency Medicaid spending accounted for less than 1% of total Medicaid spending in 2023.

This is so so awful. He left four children (all Americans, not that it should matter) and a grieving wife (also an American, not that it should matter)

The internet never forgets.

So…let me see if I have this right. The federal government is gonna shut down in 30hrs, and the party that controls the ENTIRE federal government is trying to blame the party that controls NONE of the federal government for the looming shutdown?

After our intervention this morning in Pennsylvania and our new lawsuit tonight in Nevada, this is now 57 voting and election cases in 25 states. I am still expecting at least 4 more this week.

We should be looking for the missing Alligator Auschwitz detainees at Fort Bliss in Montana. Why is not one allowed to do an audit of who is actually there?

ICE just chased everyone off the public road by the Broadview facility. They yelled for people to move and immediately began firing gas into the crowd, which included legal observers, press, and medics.

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?
