Duckworth on Hegseth announcing testosterone screenings for troops: "It sounds like gender affirming care to me, so I'm glad he's come around ... this is just more performative bullshit from the least qualified secretary of defense in our nation's history."

NEW: In his speech tonight, Trump will likely attack electronic voting machines — and potentially demand their decertification. Implementing his order won't be easy. But it could undermine faith in America's elections and cause confusion in November.

President Trump is scheduled to deliver an address on Thursday evening covering election security and voting machines, a potential escalation of his unsubstantiated claims of widespread fraud. Follow live updates.

Please explain to me how the same senators who voted for the Epstein Transparency Acf would now vote to confirm the man who’s leading the continuing coverup of the Epstein files.

Are they gonna make women pee in a cup at the airport? Or just eyeball it based on her body?

DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin says Darializa Chevalier, the fair and square winner of a primary in New York, has "no place to be serving in Congress," and blasts Bernie Sanders as a "socialist communist" Very dark stuff coming from a supposedly nonpartisan agency head

Reminder: Trump and Republicans cut food assistance for 4 million Americans, including nearly ONE MILLION CHILDREN.

“The public deserves clear and consistent answers about ICE’s surveillance activities and its infringement of Americans’ civil liberties.”

This week someone targeted my family for harm with a false report. We’re physically OK, but that doesn’t mean we weren’t harmed. I am beyond furious. Whatever your politics, this is awful, wrong, and can never become normal.

Starting in 2030, all public school students in Texas will be required to read passages from the Bible in class

If you talk about Michelle Obama today, please make it about this video

A trust fund that helps to finance Social Security benefits is expected to run out of money in less than seven years — unless Congress acts to patch the system before that. n.pr/4fATttc

"I don't think about Americans' financial situation" 175 more days until you get to vote against this and every Republican who enabled it to go on this long.

She was sent home in November when she tried to return to work after the government shutdown. She filed a whistleblower complaint. She kept speaking out anyway. Now she’s back! 💚

In 1933, Justice Louis Brandeis said: “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.” What he said was true 93 years ago. It’s even more accurate today. Let us choose democracy over oligarchy.

Many of you are asking how you can help me. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tel everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket for free and share its content with everyone you know. Thanks. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

RFK Jr. and the trump administration want to eliminate programs designed to prevent maternal deaths and keep babies healthy. You can’t roll back access to reproductive healthcare while simultaneously demanding women have more children.

Not enough people are talking about this.     The Trump Administration is moving to cut benefits for up to 400,000 disabled Americans — people with Down syndrome, severe autism, dementia — for no other reason than that they live at home with their families instead of in an institution.

A ceasefire won’t erase the #WarCrimes already committed by the Trump regime during this illegal war. And Trump has flip flopped before. Find or host an emergency protest at bit.ly/nowar45

Congress must convene immediately to condemn Trump’s horrific threats against tens of millions of people and stop this unconstitutional war. We must prevent Trump from unleashing the catastrophic and illegal violence he is touting.

ICE agents came to a military base and grabbed the newlywed wife of a soldier who's about to deploy. The wife came to the U.S. as a toddler. She has no criminal record. None of this is how it used to work. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/05/u...

Is a federal agency giving you the runaround? Do you need help getting your Social Security, your tax return, or another federal benefit? My team and I are here to help. Please give us a call at (616) 451-8383 and we can help you like we helped Anita!

The Affordable Care Act made affordable health care a reality for millions of Americans. Now, hardworking Michiganders are paying more for their health insurance thanks to Republicans’ refusal to extend cost-saving ACA tax credits.

The "God Squad" voted unanimously to remove protections for Gulf animals, for "security." It's not the first time federal agencies cited the "energy emergency" to avoid rules meant to protect animals.

Republicans are keeping the Department of Homeland Security shut down. Republicans are moving to disenfranchise millions of voters to rig elections. Republicans are supporting an illegal war in Iran. None of this makes life more affordable. All of this is WRONG.

NEW: When Rep. Jennifer McClellan was sworn into office, she put her hand on her father’s Bible where he kept the receipt of a poll tax he paid in 1947 when registering to vote. The SAVE America Act would impose a modern-day poll tax, reversing decades of progress made by voting rights advocates.

On this #NoKingsDay, let’s commit to spending more time fighting back against tyranny than fighting with each other. It’s the only way forward. Please share if you agree.

"The best example of the news media deciding somebody is unfit for office, because of their mental fitness or unfitness, is how they treated Biden in 2024. Biden was old and rational. Right now, Trump is old and irrational, but he’s not getting the same kind of treatment." — @markjacob.bsky.social

People arrested while protesting ICE say federal agents took samples of their DNA. It's legal, but experts say the practice raises questions about what the government is doing with that genetic data.

Republicans gave ICE $75 Billion just last summer. They are holding you hostage in TSA lines to give them even MORE. We’re ready to fund TSA now. Let’s get this done.

The U.S. Department of Defense has barred military personnel from enrolling in courses at many of the nation’s top universities, including Harvard, Yale, MIT, and Johns Hopkins. A leaked email is said to contain the full list of affected schools. Shared by MeidasTouch.

This video on the rise of Russ Vought is based on scores of interviews, thousands of pages of emails and dozens of hours of videos and recordings of private briefings given by Vought, most of which have not been previously reported.

NEW: House Republicans Friday unveiled an amended version of their voter suppression bill that, if it became law, would gravely undermine the right to vote in the U.S. ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

In October, @dgraham.bsky.social explored how the president could interfere—and already was interfering—with the midterm elections. Since then, the reasons for worry have become more urgent, he writes in The Atlantic Daily:

New Data For Progress poll: Voters support removing Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem, and think Dems should refuse funding for DHS unless multiple reforms for ICE are put in place (including requiring ICE to focus on deporting convicted criminals — at +48) substack.com/profile/4791...

"It seems ridiculous that we even have to say this, but Democrats shouldn’t affirmatively fund a government that’s terrorizing their constituents with a secret police force."

"He said he saw guards choking Lunas Campos and heard Lunas Campos repeatedly saying, 'No puedo respirar' — Spanish for 'I can’t breathe'..." www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

If the last few years have taught us anything, it’s that democracy is not self-executing. States possess an untapped strength that, if unused, could clear the way for Trump to advance authoritarianism and rig the 2026 elections. https://bit.ly/4o34vI5

It’s not “patriotic” to bail out Argentina while Americans are struggling, to build a ballroom while cutting SNAP benefits, or to pad your own pockets while claiming “affordability” is a hoax.

WOW. Trump's approval rating is now 36%. And I don't remember ever seeing him underwater with white people.
