The orange felon’s trashy unqualified special envoy Steve Witkoff openly praised murderous Dictator Putin and went as far as to call him a “humanitarian.” There’s no excusing it, the MAGA regime are continuously committing treason against the United States and they all need to be in prison.

The messed up thing is Amy Acton didn't even make her childhood sexual abuse a center piece of her campaign she was focused on the issues, vivek brought it up because he can't win on the issues.

BREAKING: SCOTUS rejects Trump admin's request to allow it to end gender-affirming medical care in prisons — a significant, if tentative, rejection of one of the admin's most extreme anti-trans arguments. Only Thomas and Alito noted they would have granted the stay. More to come: www.lawdork.com

Ossoff: "Maybe you saw that Donald Trump was in Dalton yesterday, oblivious to the collapse of his presidency. A crowd smaller than this one enduring two hours of senile babbling while the price of oil hit its 5 month high"

X is owned by Musk. TikTok is blocking the Musk movie account. Meta blocked the No Kings account. This is why Democracy Docket is not built on SubStack or any third-party platform that could one day turn against it. It costs more to operate but is worth it. Subscribe now. demdock.com/4w6emld

After having someone read her termination tweet for her, Katie Zacharia announced that she is joining Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, Kenneth Chesebro, Lin Wood, and Jenna Ellis in NOT forming a law firm…because they aren’t lawyers.

Big check in with the rheumatologist. Everything is stable. I'm crunchy, but okay. I'll take it. I did get "wow, your hands are really HOT," but then see today's weather. My blood work is utterly boring.

If Democrats retake the Senate, Warren will surely become chair of the Senate Banking Committee and, as such, in a position to investigate, humiliate and ultimately destroy Scott Bessent.

In Austin, a 9-year-old watched ICE detain and drive away with his mother, leaving community members to scramble to find him care. Senate Republicans just blocked a bill that would bar ICE from making arrests at school bus stops. Their cruelty is endless.

I am cancelling my appearance this afternoon at Heritage Valley Shopping Center. Unfortunately, I threw out my back yesterday trying to lift a baby. In my defense, he was quite a chubby baby. He is recovering and is listed in stable condition.

've learned something new: No need to hold ENBREL for COVID or Flu shots. That's a bit of agony I could have avoided for the last few years. Prior to my guts blowing out, I had to hold methotrexate when I got shots and always held the Enbrel as well. NOPE.

Methotrexate is a chain saw to your immune system. Enbrel is a tiny scalpel. I restarted this morning, before my other meds, and INSTANTLY felt better. Go figure. SCIENCE!
