This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system. I am not fearful — I am fearless. We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Today marks the two-year anniversary of the horrific October 7 attack. As we mourn the 1,218 lives lost that day, let us also keep alive the dream of a lasting peace and a better future for all. Ceasefire now. Every hostage must come home. And a safer world for everyone.

Thanks, New Yorker

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.

Speaker Johnson is fighting release of the Epstein files

As if irony isn’t already dead, the Hatch Act violation on the DOJ website, which blames Democrats for the shutdown, appears on the page advising DOJ employees they are subject to the Hatch Act. joycevance.substack.com/p/a-note-abo...

I Will NEVER FORGET Jim Jordan mocked me as a patient with chronic illness when I testified before Congress. I RISKED my health to travel & testify for the oversight committee for MILLIONS of Americans who struggle like me every day w/illness. America should be RELIEVED he was NOT elected Speaker! 🤬

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen to Fox & Friends host Lawrence Jones: "In New Hampshire we do not provide health insurance for illegal immigrants, we have never done that, and you are just wrong."

A Border Patrol Goon who deported thousands of undocumented immigrants was discovered to be undocumented himself.

On Monday, RFK posted a rambling video on the HHS X account showing a series of graphs and directly stating that vaccines have had minimal impact on human health and saving lives. Today, in response, we brought our own graphs. We will not let his dangerous nonsense go unanswered.

This is so indefensibly insane: Speaker Johnson is refusing to seat Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva because she'll be the 218th vote to release the Epstein files. Johnson swore in Rep Walkinshaw (VA) w/in 24 hours. Johnson is abandoning his job to instead protect a convicted child sex predator

Stephen Miller tells law enforcement in MEMPHIS: “You are unleashed”

It’s the first of the month, a day that brings dread and uncertainty for so many struggling tenants. And for the 2+ million New Yorkers in stabilized apartments, this month means another rent hike — the fourth in a row under this Mayor. But change is coming.

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of the NAACP and the NAACP New York State Conference, my law firm has filed to intervene as defendants in a DOJ lawsuit seeking access to New York state's voter registration data. www.democracydocket.com/cases/new-yo...

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

The government is officially shut down. Make no mistake: Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House. This is THEIR shutdown. They had every tool to govern and chose chaos instead. The American people are the ones paying the price.

It's nearly publishing day so if you feel you could give this a like and a share that would be fantastic and I'd really appreciate it. SPIKE THE WONDERDOG - BOOK RELEASE 01/10/2025 -Link in the comments. #poem #funny #poems #poemsoftiktok #book #GSD #childrensbook #christmas #christmascountdown

Republicans just REJECTED our attempt to keep the government funded & stop your health care costs from skyrocketing. They have the White House, House, and Senate. They could have just kept costs stable – they refused. Don’t let them gaslight you. This is a Republican shutdown.

MIKE JOHNSON: FEMA won't be funded. It's real danger for real people COLLINS: The president talked about eliminating FEMA before this shutdown happened JOHNSON: He wants to reform FEMA

Just astounding. The reason they can shove through 100 Trump nominees at once is because the GOP changed the rules to eliminate the 60-vote requirement. Something they won’t do to fund the government. Yet they blame Dems.

This man is for us, the people! He visited my daughters school and he was so kind to the kids. He really is a good man. Here he is taking the time to talk with her. Thank you @sanders.senate.gov and thank you for standing up for us!

HEY CORPORATE MEDIA, Say it with me. Your headline is REPUBLICAN CONGRESS FAILS TO FUND GOVERNMENT: SHUTDOWN IMMINENT Let me know if you need any help with this

Mike Johnson continues to refuse to swear in a Democrat who won in a landslide.

Jayapal: It is a strange and bizarre time when we literally have a president thinking about plating the ballroom in gold—while he’s thrown 15 million Americans off healthcare, fired over 150,000 federal workers, and is threatening to fire even more if we go into a shutdown.

We have a lawless president in the White House — and California refuses to back down.

NEW: Sen. Tammy Duckworth is calling for Pete Hegseth to resign. "If this PR stunt proved anything, it's that the best thing Pete Hegseth can do to strengthen our military is resign in disgrace immediately."

Trump's reference to the "enemy within" is not about immigrants. If you still think this is about immigrants, you're missing the plot. Trump has declared war on Americans who believe in democracy--all Americans who who oppose his incipient dictatorship. The majority of us.

The president said, in a televised speech, that he's sending his new, less restrained, more violent military into US cities to practice their brutality on immigrants and minorities, to better train them to apply that brutality to other countries. He said this out loud.

THEY CLOSED PUBLIC POOLS RATHER THAN SWIM WITH BLACK PEOPLE YOU ARE DEALING WITH THE SAME GROUP OF PEOPLE AS THE FOLKS WHO DID THIS PLEASE WAKE THE FUCK UP

If you were in the room during Hegseth and Trump's speech, and you'd like to share your response anonymously, reach out to me on Signal (in bio.) Share widely.

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka. I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws. Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

“There will be no federal takeover of Portland, Oregon.” 🔥 👀 Damn — @bynum.house.gov is. Not. Playing. Around.

This government shut down is all about whether Republicans will get away with raising health care premiums by 75% for 20 million Americans and throwing 15 million people off their health care. We can't allow that to happen.

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of Nevada voter, my firm has filed a new lawsuit in Nevada state court challenging a ballot initiative seeking to undermine and alter the state's current redistricting process. www.democracydocket.com/cases/nevada...

Meiselas: Ask yourself: Why did Trump not allow the press to be there in the White House during his meeting w Dem leaders? Why, if he claims he brought in $17 trillion, are we even facing a crisis at all about the shutdown? Why did MAGA Mike Johnson and Republicans cancel work Monday and Tuesday?

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

We’re at peak greed when the president brags about 24k gold décor for the White House while cutting commissaries, healthcare, and social nets. A palace of glitter for him, an empty pantry and hospital bill for you.

Another big tech company capitulated today as YouTube agreed to pay $24.5 million to settle a bogus lawsuit brought by Trump. Here's what I can promise you: Democracy Docket will never bow down. It will never compromise. It will never obey. Support the work of its 20 person team. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0
