If you paid any federal income tax last year, then you paid more than these profitable corporations. When I say the system is broken, this is what I mean.

The contribution limit for an individual is $3,500. Elon Musk, a government contractor, is trying to purchase Congress. Billionaires are smothering our elections for their personal gain. Get big money out of politics.

THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)

Republican lawmakers are incensed about Trump's dismissal of Ukraine — and powerless to stop him. That frustration hit a new peak on Monday as they sought to address Trump’s decision to purchase Russian diesel, waive sanctions on Moscow, and potentially stop sharing intelligence with Ukraine.

Meta took down the No Kings organizing page today - the biggest day of protest this fall. They provided zero explanation. It stayed down for the entire afternoon until most of the protests were done. Outrageous. Put this on the January investigation list.

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

The Trump administration just raided the home of Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. It is disturbing that they are targeting political opponents in this way. Any decent American needs to stand up and speak out.

ICE just kidnapped a woman at LAX airport Saturday Oct 3, 12:50AM. A community member was able to record when several ICE goons who refused to identify themselves grabbed the woman, put her into a van and then drove off.

Well, the Trump administration’s EPA found a simple way to stop hearing from the public just eliminate the requirement to ask them. The EPA is scrapping public notice and comment requirements for air pollution permits on new data centers and the power plants needed to run them.

On the heels of two fatal shootings carried out by ICE in the span of a week, I joined my colleagues in demanding an independent investigation free from interference. The deaths of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and Johan Sebastián Guerrero demand answers. The conduct of #ICE demands accountability. (1/2)

The Los Angeles Police Department let its Flock contract expire after an audit revealed that 161 cars were falsely flagged as stolen in a two month span. Mass surveillance doesn't keep us safe. LAPD must permanently cut ties with this tech and other cities must follow suit.

In the realm of questions posed during Senate hearings, this one from Ossoff -- "Isn't it humiliating to be unable to answer this?" -- ranks right up there with "Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last?"

This is a BIG red flag. Ahead of the midterms, Donald Trump FIRED all members of the independent Election Assistance Commission—people confirmed unanimously by the Senate to make sure we have free and fair elections. We can't let Trump rig the next election.

bostonglobe.comTrump administration fires members of independent election group - The Boston GlobeThe move comes as President Trump seeks to cast doubt on the outcome of the upcoming midterms and impose control over how ballots are counted.

Today I had to scroll way way down the LA Times website to find any mention of the numerous, massive No Kings protests that happened all across LA on Saturday. What is going on with media coverage?! There were thousands of people at just my local protest in the valley. #nokings

The working people of #PA08 deserve to know if Rob Bresnahan spoke to his financial advisor before dumping up to $130,000 worth of Medicaid-provider stocks ahead of his vote to gut Medicaid.

Rob Bresnahan campaigned on banning congressional stock trading but ended being one of the Congress' top traders once in office. No wonder he won't come clean about speaking with his financial advisor about his upcoming stock positions while actively voting on Capitol Hill.

Jeff Bezos, one of the richest men on earth, is raising $100 billion to replace workers with robots around the world. The oligarchs want it all. Not going to happen. Stand up and FIGHT BACK.

The SAVE Act is not for voting integrity, it is for voter suppression. Tell your Senators to VOTE NO! The only lawmakers supporting it are the ones who know they will lose a fair vote, so they are trying to rig voting in their favor.

Mike Johnson, do your job, swear in Adelita Grijalva! It's been 45 days since she was elected, and your pathetic excuses have long since run out. Hundreds of thousands of Arizonans have been without representation for more than six weeks. Mike Johnson is showing he doesn't believe in democracy.
