Everyone keeps asking me how I’m feeling about early voting so far. I’m feeling like nobody *actually* knows anything, and this is the most important midterm of our lives. I’d rather be us than them, but we can’t get comfortable. We can’t get complacent. Go vote like we’re down 3%.

Gas prices are “temporarily” high, says the president. That’s because Republicans are temporarily in power. Vote.

I watched the live action version of Moana on Friday and it just made the world seem better. Songs were good and Dwayne Johnson as Maui was perfection. Seen the original a few times and enjoyed it but live action does hit a bit differently. A very soothing watch in these troubled times.

BRENNAN: The DOJ lawsuit demands the Alaska result not be certified if voters are confused. The confusion is defined as Sen. Sullivan not winning. BLANCHE: That's not what it says BRENNAN: I'm quoting from it. You are telling them not to certify it. What right does the federal govt have?

The cat has confiscated my reading chair this morning. He even has his own chair but only mine will do apparently.

I'm only gonna say this once this year, and it is now: the days do not get shorter. Still 24 hours. There is a shorter amount of day with sunlight in the Northern Hemisphere during the winter. Changing the clocks does not alter this fact. Take your consternation up with planet Earth and its axis

Trump and Todd Blanche are far more sympathetic to Epstein and Maxwell than to the survivors of their abuse. And now Vivek — followed byTrump and Vance — embraces the enabler of abuse and attacks the survivor. MAGA: Making Abuse Great Again.

One perfect apple hanging over a sidewalk near this fence. I've read fairytales. I've seen horror movies. I know a trap when I see one.

This needs to be said openly: This is what happens when the government is led by someone who attempted a coup d’etat, and his agencies are run by his stooges.

After tea, in the fade-light, Old Fox walked to the sheep church on the Downs. It was dark, lit by a single oil lamp & deserted but for an elderly hare in the front pew. He was wiping tears away. It's all so hard, he said. I know, said Old Fox & went to sit with him.

Again: Why does Musk have operational control over any *military grade* version of anything. That’s not how DOD contracts work.

Elon Musk is too big to trust. A THREAD.

Let’s just recall that she is talking about a twelve-year-old.

Mondays...

Fellow WA voters, let's bury this. I can't imagine any parent wants to subject their child to this vile "examination."

The world’s richest man, a vast recipient of our tax dollars, is personally intervening in a war on behalf of Russia’s murderous dictatorship. Every public contract with firms he controls should be severed on national security grounds. This is legal & easy to do—> www.congress.gov/crs_external...

"Almost none of his net worth is held in cash. Nearly all of it is **unrealized equity** in companies he still runs, and he draws no salary. His wealth is not money he extracted and stored. It is the market’s estimate of promises he hasn’t yet kept." fortune.com/2026/06/23/e...

BULLSHIT

It's October 21, 2026. Early voting for the midterms is off and running. Mail-in ballots are circulating in many states. And we're seeing reports of machine glitches and USPS errors. Good time to remind folks that mistakes do happen, but they are rarely intentional, and they usually have remedies.

I’ve been advocating for nationalizing Starlink since It became impossible to Ignore that Elon Musk is a danger to national security. But don’t stop with Starlink. Nationalize SpaceX.

Trump: "We just extinguished a nuclear bomb from the worst country in the world, and our gas prices -- it's a small thing to pay -- our gas prices are lower than under Obama." (Iran never had a nuke and gas prices are not lower than they were 10 years ago)

He's trying his best.

I don’t care what side of the aisle you’re on, nobody should support this kind of deception. They created a fake pamphlet to spark trans outrage and sent it to every home in Texas. Then their paid shills continued the outrage on social media. Politics is broken.

It's a new week, Bluesky. Trust no poll. Trust no pundit. Vote early if you can. Vote in person if you can.

ARRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Yes. We are, and yes we can stop it - vote. Overwhelmingly. Vote every one of these fucking idiots out of office.

Crazy this is not obvious to Wall Street: every democracy saw what Musk did to Ukraine last week and confirmed security need for Starlink alternative. Those alternatives will not just serve defense needs, but also be viable commercial alternatives, crushing any hope of SpaceX's monopoly projections.

#SistersInLaw, even if SCOTUS finds that DOGE is above the law and accountability, can the next President just determine that their records and actions are subject to scrutiny? Can the next President remove executive immunity from advisors and this admin?

OSSOFF: At a rally, the president egged on supporters who assaulted a woman demanding the release of the Epstein files. Because if you can count on one thing about this White House, it's their tireless commitments to war, inflation, and covering up sex trafficking.

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

This is pathetic. Ukraine tested Starlink speed restrictions in Europe and had no issues - the restrictions only exist in Ukraine. The Trump administration is actively helping Russia kill Ukrainians - and risking the lives of US and NATO advisors in Ukraine.

if i take a walk in my little walkable neighborhood to buy fresh flowers and crunchy nectarines and my serenity is punctured by the sound of your tesla flipping in the air, i will blow up your car with a rocket launcher

it's pretty f'd up that the Trump administration is trying to deport my duly-elected member of Congress

she is never sorry for anything so just vote her out if you hate this shit: Collins said she did not regret voting for Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

She’s judging you but not harshly

The reason I keep emphasizing civil remedies like: (a) canceling government contracts; or (b) impeachment; or (c) defunding certain positions or offices or (d) tearing down the White House Ballroom; or (e) moving agencies is: the power of the pardon.

The White House's decision to limit Starlink is what should worry Europe most. A single private network with its uptime decided in Washington is the dependency Kyiv has to design around, and Brussels should be funding a satcom backup now, not after the next cutoff.

Currently reading the Silo books and it is eerie how some of the events in the book track with current events. No spoilers. I’m on book 2.

When you go to the gas pump and the grocery store and are met with high prices, just know Donald Trump loves that for you. Remember that when it’s time to vote in November. lincolnsquare.media #LincolnSquare #VoteBlue2026 #Inflation #Midterms2026
