Senator Mike Lee has introduced a last-minute amendment to the Wildfire Prevention Act that would eliminate the 2001 Roadless Rule, stripping protections from roughly 60 million acres of national forest land. This is an attempt to sneak a major public lands policy change through before most

President Donald Trump’s national redistricting war is far from over, but Democrats are ready to redraw congressional maps in seven more states ahead of the 2028 election, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said Tuesday. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

democracydocket.comHakeem Jeffries: At least 7 blue states could redistrict by 2028The solution, he said, will “require massive campaign finance reform, massive electoral reform, and yes, massive Supreme Court reform, as well.”

The people of Democracy Docket are actively fighting an epic legal war in the profound interest of protecting every Amaricans right to continue to live in a democracy; for the lives pledged and lost in preserving and protecting 250 years of American democratic history, not to have been in vain.

If VA dems actually go through with this it would be one of the most hilariously based things statewide Dems have done anywhere since the infamous Evers veto in Wisconsin a few years ago

We don't ordinarily publish posts at [checks watch] 8:51 PM on a Friday night, but state constitutional law expert Quinn @yeargain.bsky.social has an outside-the-box idea for reversing the VA Supreme Court that is very much worth taking seriously: Dems can simply lower the retirement age.

The Virginia Supreme Court ruled 4-3 today to throw out a redistricting referendum that Virginia voters had actually approved last month (52% to 48%) which would have redrawn congressional maps to give Democrats up to four additional seats.

How is that not contempt of court? _Flagrant_ contempt of court, is what that is.

FOIA CASE UPDATE: So Judge Boasberg ordered the government to search DOGE records for Musk’s private phone number. The DoJ just responded with their results. Did they basically just search for messages that contain “Musk phone”? lol do I have that right @nationalsecuritylaw.org?

BREAKING: After ProPublica published letters written by children at the Dilley concentration camp, ICE officers raided the dormitories and confiscated the children's letters. I'm suing ICE to get them back. I'll explain it all in 45 minutes on @meidastouch.com here: www.youtube.com/live/H-D8SzR...

MAGA holds a protest with a few thousand people in DC and they attack the capital and brutally assault police officers. Millions upon millions of Democrats hold 3100+ protests nationwide without incident. That tells you all you need to know.

8 million No Kings protesters Zero police officers beaten Zero police officers killed Zero feces smeared on walls.

The difference is all about aspirations, clearely. Jan 6ers DREAM was to violently dominate ANYONE .... even US Capitol police ffs (?!),... to become 'heros.' No Kings is pretty evidently about the dream, expressed in the preable of the CotUS... "In order to create a more perfect union."

8 Million protesters yesterday at #NoKings. No police beaten with flag poles. No fire extinguishers thrown at other humans. No vandalism or theft. No racist flags. No zip ties. No death threats. No pipe bombs. No poop smeared on walls. That's what happens when mature, civilized people protest.

That millions of people at #NoKings yesterday isn't today's New York Times' headline is shameful. That the only mention is way down the page, doesn't mention the number of protesters, but does talk about Pro-Trump counter-protesters, like that was a factor, seems intentional. Don't trust the NYT.

At our No Kings rally yesterday, I photographed a man holding this sign with an amazing artist's rendition of Alex Pretti. This is why we fight Traitor Trump's masked domestic terrorists. Nobody has been held accountable for his murder. This injustice cannot continue. Resist with all you have.

Reminder: Elinor Roosevelt scandalized America too,... by hoping into a war plane & taking a ride at 56 to help get the Red Tails off the sidelines & in the fight. Bad-ass recognizes bad-ass. Always thought the Washington football club missed an opp to rename as the Redtails, but what do I know.

Trump says the #NoKings protest are “not representative of the people.“ You know what’s really not representative of the people? A Commander-in-chief that dodged the draft five times and is sending other people’s children to war.”

What's goin' down, peeps? 8 MILLION people in the streets! That's what's goin' down. ✊ This is OUR Republic,....if we can keep it.

My little summary of a historic day of protest. Congratulations to every organizer in every town and city across America - and globally. And well done to every drone operator and photojournalist that captured this extraordinary footage. #NoKings @50501movement.bsky.social

This 👇🏼 is how you use your fame and power. Compare this to CEO/tech company leaders, none of whom has as much (back)bone as The Boss has in his pinky. The people who showed up for #NoKings are regular people- not Trump’s fortunate sons sending American to kill and die in illegal wars.

Springsteen: Well, this past winter federal troops brought death and terror to the streets of Minneapolis. They picked the wrong city. Your strength and your commitment told us that this is still America. And this reactionary nightmare and these invasions of American cities will not stand.

Incumbent German electricity suppliers said in 1993 that renewables could not provide more than 4% of electricity in the long run. In 2025, renewables provided 55.9% of Germany's electricity — 14 times the predicted ceiling.

On this weeks War Room podcast, Bannon told conservative lawyer Mike Davis: “We can use what’s happening with these ICE authorities helping out at the airports, we can use this as a test run, as a test case to really perfect ICE’s involvement in the 2026 midterm elections.”

A viral dog rescue from 2016 is now immortalized with a statue in Kazakhstan. When a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir, bystanders formed a human chain to pull him to safety. The statue is a reminder of the value of unity, solidarity and collective action. 14/10 for all

AOC: Companies like Palantir are mining endlessly the data and privacy of the American people—keeping track of everything that they say and do. And sending it to a militarized government.

The vote to confirm Mullin, a Republican senator from Oklahoma, as the head of DHS was 54-45, with Sens. John Fetterman, D-Pa., and Martin Heinrich, D-N.M., supporting his confirmation. FYI New Mexico, your boy Martin has voted for almost every cabinet nominee.
