Maddow on what keeps despots in power and why they fall apart: "Nobody actually likes a corrupt despot. They all just support him because they think he's going to be in power forever so you need to stay on his right side in order to get anything for yourself."

Sen. Ed Markey: A war powers resolution is not enough. Congress must come back, impeach Trump, and the Senate must remove him—immediately. #sheshed

Reason n+1 to get off Substack

I am proud to say that Democracy Docket does not publish on Substack. www.democracydocket.com

So now that Trump has declared himself Jesus when does the crucifying begin?

DISBAR BONDI! #Epstein #EpsteinFiles #EpsteinClass #Bondi #DOJ #DisbarBondi

The world intelligence agencies have a two week window to leak the complete Epstein Files. It’s actually a very prudent and economical act of national defense. We can’t keep letting him put us through this.

Had a thug with kratom eyes from a gang called ICE check my ID so I could get on an airplane about four hours ago. I’m still mad hours later. This shouldn’t be a thing that happens. The agency needs to be dissolved the second power allows it. Even kratom eyes needs to hear the clank of a jail cell.

Another question for any thinkers out there; Why are “we the people” paying $60bn to $100bn+ every year to have a congress who is on vacation 90% of the time, and refuses to do anything “FOR“ we the people??!?!? 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

EPSTEIN FILES NOW

Saying The Quiet Part Out Loud Dept.-Kinda sounds like he's admitting he interfered in the election with VERY specific statistics. I quit Twitter because he bought it, way before his confession he stole the election for the Orange Atrocity. 🍊💩 Now I'm SURE I made the right decision! 👍

This conference is going to break Grindr.

Does MAGA really not understand the concept of No Kings or do they think their ignorant responses are clever?

We can make the case that YOU shouldn't be there at all.

II'm telling you this isn't about the Epstein files?This is about the election. Twice he has been president , and twice he has done things to shut down our country because he wants to shut down the elections. He tried with covid, now he's trying with Iran.

The dude is circling the drain. He’s now calling on people in media to be imprisoned for treason if they don’t report on the war to his liking.

Get LOUD!!! #Iran #Epstein #EpsteinFiles

In my adult life, I've never been able to vote "for" a president, the exception being Obama. Voting against the shittier candidate is not the same. As a nation, we deserve to expect better, but it just isn't an option at this point.

Dear America, DO SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR PRESIDENT AND YOUR FECKLESS GOVERNMENT! WHY SHOULD EVERYONE ELSE SUFFER BECAUSE OF THIS INSANITY? Signed, Most of the rest of the planet

NEW: The Iranian drone strike that killed 6 U.S. troops in Kuwait at the start of the war was far more devastating than previously disclosed. Dozens suffered traumatic brain injuries, burns, and shrapnel wounds. At least one required an amputation. More than 30 remain hospitalized. (CBS News)

Zelenskyy should demand the release of the unredacted Epstein files because clearly Fuck Face is not on his side.

Instead of ID checks at the ballot box, we should require IQ tests..

Legacy media is failing democracy. Rather than just complain, I did something about. Six years ago I started Democracy Docket from scratch. Now it has more than 400,000 subscribers. But to help protect democracy, it needs to grow and scale. Subscribing now. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Do I have this right? Trump will not go to Congress for war authorization… But he will go to Putin for war authorization!

He’s not the only one who declared something.

New GOP talking points are in.

Trump could draft their own child and send them to the frontline and they will continue to be more obsessed with daycare fraud in Minnesota.

Gas under Biden.. for those who want to remember the worst.

El mejor amigo de Trump, Putin, está ayudando a Irán a atacar a las fuerzas estadounidenses Rusia está dando inteligencia a Irán sobre la ubicación de las fuerzas estadounidenses. newrepublic.com/post/207447/...
