Hope this isn't behind a paywall. She's awesome, & we wish she was on the national broadcasts. Her ability to flip on the Spanish is top notch and a great piece of the puzzle. Let's go!

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
Cooper Pratt dropped down a bunt and nearly beat Freeman’s toss to Hernández at first base. Trading an out for a better chance of eking out a run against Skubal matters in a game in which the margins are thin.... from the Athletic today. Maybe Murph knew what he was doing when he benched Pratt...Hmm

The billionaire class is going all-in to keep Trump and the GOP in power because they don't want to pay their fair share in taxes. Here's how we fight back.

If you live in a Country where you can watch a livestream of an EXECUTION by Firing Squad, but not a Talk Show with a Comedian like Steven Colbert, you might not be living in a Democracy...
Livestreaming the Fort Hood shooter’s execution is wrong. The U.S. hasn’t held a public execution in nearly a century, for good reason: it risks unconstitutional cruelty, harm to minors, and more violence, including to troops. Congress must act now. www.pogo.org/press-center...

Probably the most succinct explanation of where we're at in this country I've heard in a long time. Now he just needs to work to do something about it.
Ezra Klein: “What is, to you, the ‘rage economy’?” James Talarico: “The billionaires own the algorithms and the news networks. They have created for-profit platforms that divide us on an hourly basis — by party, by race, by gender, by religion. They elevate the most extreme voices."

It's when a president illegally confiscates money appropriated by Congress for a specific purpose because he decides, after the appropriation becomes law, that he doesn't like it. The fact that the Republican Congress ignores that is another reason they should be voted out. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Trump is more than just a bad look. He's risking America's place on the world's stage. LP's Oscar Robshaw details how Trump's America is viewed across the pond: https://lincolnproject.substack.com/p/a-view-from-across-the-pond-trumps?r=90a8yd&utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web

More great work by Dan Rather. Why is it that hard to stand up to trump? He's an imbecile, a bully, and is driving the entire globe over a cliff. Fight fire with fire. This woman has receipts. Ohio should be proud. Standing up to Trump steady.substack.com/p/standing-u...
