When a fed'l judge does her job, insisting that the govt follow the same rules as everyone else & the president attacks her personally, it’s a sobering moment. You’ll want to read Judge Reyes’ final comments today in court. I wrote about it here: joycevance.substack.com/p/this-is-no...

There’s 3,428 billionaires out of a world population of ~8,300,000,000 people. Why are we letting 0.000041% dictate the entire world we all live in? I say we break off into groups of 2.4M, assign a billionaire to each group, and get this ship back on course.

No notes

I can’t wait for this day.

Having a free press is essential to a democracy. That’s why Donald Trump wants to do away with the free press. Here’s what you need to know now: substack.com/home/post/p-...

Before we reach the question of whether there is an epidemic of pilots who like being furries in their spare time as Tuberville claims, has he cited specific reasons why they aren’t capable of flying airplanes?

So, it turns out that now CNN and CBS News are under the control of the Ellison family, they are considering asking Elon Musk to join them. We need independent, pro-democracy media to grow. If you agree, please subscribe to Democracy Docket now. demdock.com/4w6emld

Perpetually “concerned” Susan Collins should be VERY concerned by the latest reporting from ProPublica, revealing her involvement in an alleged bribery/pay to play scheme of awarding defense contracts to a specific firm right after that company made campaign “donations." youtu.be/f2fFlCPjKnk?...

My, my, my! What a small world. The pedophile Ken Paxton kept taking money from was called Paul Pressler. Where have I seen that name before? Oh, I know! Speaker of the House Mike Johnson was dean of a law school that was named in Judge Paul Pressler's honor.

BREAKING: We won! And we get discovery into this crazy demolition threat to boot. Kudos to our wonderful client @repbeatty.bsky.social and to my colleagues at DDF and WLG. Formal statement to follow.

Macklemore basically said Genocide is bad and that people aren’t a reflection of their government and Robert Kraft mustered up the strength to take a moment away from his massage parlor prostitutes to say “not on my watch will you have compassion and empathy for groups of people”

🚨 HAPPENING NOW: The Missouri Supreme Court is holding a contempt hearing for Secretary of State Denny Hoskins over his handling of the state's congressional map fight. Watch live: https://demdock.com/46c910B

Raw Story: The DOJ secured a federal grand jury indictment against ICE officer, Christian Castro, who is accused of lying about a shooting during last winter's immigration crackdown in Minnesota. One down, hundreds to go! #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

Beautifully marked up — clear edits, constructive notes, and just enough red ink to earn a better grade. Well done, Mr. Prime Minister, especially impressive given English isn’t even your first language. #pinks

Certainly not over Iran or Inflation

TEXAS VOTERS HOW CAN YOU VOTE KEN PAXTON TO BE YOUR SENATOR KNOWING FULL & WELL HE’S EVERY BIT AS CORRUPT AS POTUS?! This Senate race is close, when it NEVER should be. You have one of the most CORRUPT persons ever running on the GOP side versus a Democratic candidate…”

FUN FACT If we switched to all renewable energy, the number of ships crossing the ocean would fall almost in half, slashing global CO2 emissions. Because those ships are JUST carrying coal, oil and gas. ~ Bill McKibben SUPPORT ALTERNATIVE ENERGY SOURCES!

The end of Frogust doesn't mean the end of Kermit art.

When you claim renewable energies aren’t workable—but you attach solar panels to all your dystopian Flock surveillance cameras.

You're going to be hearing more and more about this particular issue — and rightfully so. Let me explain what's going on — and provide some solutions. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-biggest-issue-in-the-midterm

Kara Swisher calls @Google @googlemaps @googleearth “NOODLE SPINED” “UNCTUOUS QUISLINGS” who “SOIL THEMSELVES” 🔥

SHOUT-OUT to Political Cartoonist extraordinaire & Member of the Order of Canada Michael de Adder, who routinely does a far better job of holding this administration accountable than the corporate media. Thank you for your attention to his brilliant satirical wit! 🙏 (also: 🤣)

If the Dems want to win, STOP bashing Hasan Piker as a favor to your AIPAC handlers, and start elevating and embracing Zohran Mandani. He is PERSONIFYING on the daily what we all actually want. He is DOING IT in your faces, and you REFUSE to embrace it. You have a winning path and plan! USE. IT!

🚨 ICYMI: This is one of the most offensive and egregious things I’ve ever covered (and that’s saying a lot seeing how it’s Florida):

Trump wanting to give parts of Yosemite away to a private developer just shows how we can’t have anything nice at all with him in charge. Our entire country is being demolished and sold piece by piece in tacky grifts to help his “friends”.

NEW: A Florida grand jury finds the DeSantis Administration misappropriated $10 million in taxpayer funds when it diverted the money to the Casey DeSantis’-related nonprofit, Hope Florida Foundation. I track the money flow in this outrageous corruption and grift! youtu.be/JDOh1GUZrfs?...

Oops!

🚨Just a gentle reminder- Chapter 13 of Project 2025 spells out how they will create food insecurity by cutting safety nets and slashing regulations and restrictions on food production and safety inspections. Just in case anyone finds it interesting.

Where are all the four star Generals? Where is former FBI Director Wray? Where are all the people who know it’s a disaster? Tell them they can make their money later but we have a national crisis now!

Can you say “corruption,” boys and girls?

ANGELA LANSBURY told a story about her daughter falling under the spell of a Hollywood deadbeat. He’d pick the girl up from school & get her to steal money & food from her parents for him. Worried, Lansbury moved the entire family to Ireland. The ‘deadbeat’? Charles Manson.

A quick note about the “leaked handwritten notes“ that are floating around that were released on Reddit: I haven’t posted on these documents yet as there are concerns and questions about their authenticity. I’m trying to see if they can be vetted by source(s) that can verify them.

NEW: Just got a lovely email from the Alex Vindman campaign asking us to UNITE behind Angie Nixon and to donate in support of her campaign. Thank you, @avindman.bsky.social! You can contribute here: angienixon.com
