The GOP's strategy to disenfranchise voters started with Florida, led by this man.

NEW: Hours after ProPublica reported on how a federal probe of a drugs-for-votes scheme in Puerto Rico's prisons got quashed after the 2024 elections, some of the territory’s political leaders made public calls for investigations into the allegations.

We’re just getting warmed up.

virginia voters should call their delegates and senators and demand that they ignore this illegitimate ruling

Tennessee NAACP goes to court to stop "late-decade Congressional redistricting," and the law sure looks to be on their side.

The good news......

if you show up at the trump white house on their request because your child was killed in action, you know he's going to make a mockery of it, he's made a mockery of it countless times over the last several years, and your attendance is an endorsement of and complicity in that mockery

Given the public scrutiny of the Jeffrey Epstein case, Ghislaine Maxwell’s incarceration has been a particularly sensitive subject. Some inmates in her minimum-security prison camp in Bryan, Texas, say they have been punished for speaking out about her treatment in the prison. https://cnn.it/4evIwZn

North Carolina's supreme court has swung right since the GOP flipped it in 2022. Democrats will have a shot at retaking it—but not before 2028. This year, the only seat on the ballot in the state is held by a Democrat who is running for reelection.

Heads-up on the North Carolina Supreme Court election this year. @anitaearls.bsky.social is running for reelection - former civil rights atty, brilliant jurist. Get registered and re-elect her.

Whoa! Barack Obama endorses - and amplifies - Miracle Rankin and Jen Jordan in their two Georgia State Supreme Court elections on May 19th! Early voting is underway. Let’s go! @jenjordanga.bsky.social

People keep hearing Donald Trump talk about the “cognitive test” he says he takes all the time. So here’s what the MoCA actually is.

Katie Phang and Epstein survivor Danielle Bensky visit a new exhibition space in Tribeca where the Epstein files are bound in 3,237 physical volumes. “To see the person who scheduled me, who is still not behind bars—her name is here.”

In other words, Trump and Hegseth have been lying to the American people.

Good morning! Since Trump was re-elected, Forbes estimates— 💰His net worth is up $1.9 billion, to $6.2 billion 💰Eric’s is up 10x, to $400 million 💰Don Jr.’s is up 6x, to $300 million 💰20-year-old Barron is worth $150 million And Jared became a billionaire last year. Have a great day!

YouTube has removed one of my videos because I reported that women can still access abortion pills. I shared *factual & medically accurate* information about women's health—yet the platform says I'm "facilitating the sale of illegal drugs"

BIG WIN tonight in Michigan State Senate District 35 where Chedrick Greene’s victory secures Dem control of the chamber. (This race was meant to be in my Spring General Election list but I forgot and had to add it further downthread) Next up: 2 Georgia State Supreme Court elections on 5/19.

Is this normal?

When I get bad news - like with SCOTUS tonight - I ask myself a question: Can I do anything about it? If I can, I do it. If I can't - and I usually can't - I turn to something I *can* do. So tonight that 'something else' is amplifying our next prize: The Georgia State Supreme Court elections.

A late night of writing and planning the way forward. If you want to help me, please spread the word about Democracy Docket. Subscribe for free and share its content with everyone you know. Thanks. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

*clears throat* literatibookstore.com/book/signedl... in a TX case, SCOTUS said federal courts were wrong to pause a map they found illegal *in Dec 2025* bc that was too close to election. now, in a LA election already underway, SCOTUS jumps in to alter the state map - & free LA to do more.

Not an 'I Voted Early' post, but instead a message from Jen Jordan, one of the two candidates running to flip these two Georgia State Supreme Court seats. We have got to amplify these two races from now until May 19th, and with an emphasis on early voting. bsky.app/profile/jenj...

The NDRC is proud to endorse Jen Jordan and Miracle Rankin for Georgia’s Supreme Court! These accomplished lawyers have spent their careers protecting the rights of voters, and we know Jen Jordan and Miracle Rankin will hold the line for rights and freedoms of all Georgians.

Democrats need to tone down the political rhetoric?

Trump threatens to kill 90 million people. Just a typical Monday in this administration.

NEW: In response to SCOTUS’ ruling gutting the Voting Rights Act, Trump pressured GOP-led states to rig political maps in their favor ahead of the 2026 midterms. Trump argued rigging maps in the the party's favor was more important than allowing ongoing elections to continue. https://bit.ly/4uwO22F

Trump and the GOP don’t care about the constitution. They only care about power. We will fight them tooth and nail to protect voters and free and fair elections.

This stuff is so benign that tons of it is for sale on Amazon. Anyone arresting Bezos?

Rep. Pat Ryan: "This, frankly, utter bullshit argument that they just put forward that we're somehow not at war — tell that to our troops that are still there, 5,000 plus in theater…and tell that to the American people who are paying nearly $5 per gallon now."

JetBlue hasn’t made a profit in 6 years, they are $9 billion in debt, are on course to lose $1 billion this year, are dealing with the same spike in jet fuel that finished off Spirit, but the Trump admin wants to claim that it would’ve saved failing, indebted Spirit.

Bcuz I criticize both MAGA pretender Scott Jennings AND CNN for giving him a platform to lie, I’m no longer welcome much on CNN & certainly no longer welcome on Abby Phillip’s show. I’m not alone, same goes for @gtconway3dg.bsky.social, @julieroginsky.bsky.social & others. CNN protects Jennings.

Slow civil war doesn’t speed up all at once. We’re watching it advance by increments of rhetoric as well as steady escalation of systematic violence. Pay attention when the man in charge of the military says the opposition party is waging what looks like a war.

WATCH: The DOJ quietly closed 23,000+ criminal cases in the first six months of the second Trump administration, abandoning hundreds of investigations into terrorism, white-collar crime, drugs and other offenses as it shifted resources to pursue immigration cases. Full story: propub.li/4tHp2Wd

🔥 WOW — ex Knoxville REPUBLICAN state House Rep Eddie Mannis: “The special session being called by @GovBillLee is shameful and absurd… should offend every Tennessean… they are afraid of the midterm results…. shameful, anti-democratic, a betrayal of the public trust…” @marshablackburn

George Conway: "You’re lying. You’re lying, Scott, you’re lying ... That’s the problem with the Republican Party is that they are suffused with lies. I don’t know why this network is paying Scott to say those lies." 🔥🔥🔥

#Georgia #GOTV Get to the polls and vote !!!!!!!!!

Georgia's supreme court elections are in just 19 days. And they're so important: Two liberal attorneys are aiming to oust a pair of GOP-appointed justices. Voting rights already were a defining issue, & that was before Callais heightened the stakes. So much to unpack here. NEW in Bolts:

In case you’re wondering, this is a real post.

We should all be paying attention to what this means. Getting rid of Roe wasn’t the end game and they will go further. Anti choice extremists in state legislatures are teaming up with allies on the federal bench to take your freedom to control the course of your life.
