Amazing news! MLB has dropped its proposal for a baseball game in Grand Teton National Park! Thank you to everyone who pushed back and stood up for our parks!

Trump in Alabama: "The guy from Texas, he's a VAGEN but now he's eating food like a, he's eating meat like a pig…He's a VAGEN."

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

It has been 118 years since the Supreme Court ruled the federal government owes tribes water, but Native American communities in northern Arizona are still fighting for their rights to the Colorado River. (Published June)

Cats, a cure for the calamity of chaos.

ICE Has Been Dumping Protester Photos Into a Palantir Database DHS agents not only tracked and intimidated people observing ICE activity in Maine, but stored information about them in a Palantir-built database, newly unsealed court filings say.

Each election year, the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) takes extra steps to ensure ballots sent through the mail arrive at election offices on time. This year, it’s delaying those efforts. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

“Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has confirmed that he is considering retirement, leaving open the possibility that he could leave after next year’s term and hand another nomination to President Donald Trump.” www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

CNN on the last jobs report before the midterms: "It came in cold -- surprisingly cold. Job growth weaker than expected, unemployment unexpectedly went up, and paychecks aren't keeping up with prices. This was disappointing all around."

"With 32 days to go until the midterm elections, Republicans’ closing strategy is obvious: They’re going all-in on trans. (It seems to have worked for them before, after all.)" - from @elainegodfrey.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Trump won’t take no for an answer. Not from voters or the loyalists he’s surrounded himself with. “He is assuming there will be no one in his administration to tell him no,” Marc Elias says. Attacks on voters work best when no one's watching. Keep an eye on Trump: https://demdock.com/3T3Owjg

Never Forget!

The kids are alright. It's our job to do everything we can to build an economy where every kid can grow up and thrive.

Lawless AG Blanche.

"It could chill rights of contractors to make political contributions" -- unearthed footage shows Susan Collins in 2012 fighting to protect contractors from having to disclose political contributions (we recently learned she was under investigation for a pay-to-play scheme involving a contractor)

🚨BREAKING: In a win for voters, the Kansas Court of Appeals Friday denied Secretary of State Scott Schwab’s (R) latest request to revive a GOP-backed law that would throw out mail-in ballots received after Election Day, even if they were cast on time. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Maga! 😬

It's sad, disappointing and dangerous that some people still support this incompetent felon and serial liar.

Absolutely 💯 True…..

So our friends now are North Korea and Russia and our enemies are Canada and Denmark. Makes sense.

"The power to manage federal property begins and ends with Congress. But Trump’s lawyers ballooned that statute into a capacious grant of absolute power to demolish chunks of the building." Of course they did, but Roberts didn't have to rubber-stamp it.

Trump has never been ashamed of his affairs, and the supposedly moral right wing ignores or even defends that stuff, similar to how the online far right worships Andrew Tate. It’s masculinity and virility, both virtues until a Democrat does it. Read more here: www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

It seems that a lot of right wingers who claim to care about women’s sports for the first time ever really just care more about attention for themselves, ratings and social media engagement.

"A pseudo-democratic fiscal basketcase, whose only apparent foreign policy objective is domination for the gratification of its president’s slapdash vanity... "Trump’s world — a world of transaction and submission — is not the only world we all have to live in..." www.nytimes.com/2026/08/24/o...

Whatever the colour of your political persuasion, if this ISN’T your view… you’re on the wrong side. Simple.

What do these corporations all have in common? -SpaceX -Palantir -RTX -Northrop Grumman -Microsoft -Nvidia They are all corporations whose stock Trump just purchased — and who do business with the Trump administration. We must not become numb to this blatant corruption.

In a country so deeply divided, isn't it nice to have something we can ALL agree on? #ReleaseTheFiles-BeginTheTrials ⚖️

Trump uses trans rights to divide the opposition to him. We need to be smart enough to see it for what it is.

Very smart talk from @jenrubin.bsky.social

A FIFA referee has spent more time in federal custody for being Somali than anybody on epstein's list for raping kids.

"The bottles bear the imprint of the Kentucky distillery Woodford Reserve, and are engraved with the words 'KASH PATEL FBI DIRECTOR,' as well as a rendering of an FBI shield. Surrounding the shield is a band of text … featuring his favored spelling of his first name: KA$H."

Katie Phang and Epstein survivor Danielle Bensky visit a new exhibition space in Tribeca where the Epstein files are bound in 3,237 physical volumes. “To see the person who scheduled me, who is still not behind bars—her name is here.”

If you think it’s just the Deep South, please read this. We can’t afford to tell ourselves the myth that it’s going to be okay.

I like FBI Directors with prior experience in law enforcement but WITHOUT their own personalized branded bourbon. #CallMeOldFashoined

State supreme court justices play a critical role in defending your rights and freedoms, which is why the election happening in Georgia right now is so important. Make sure you have a plan to vote for Jen Jordan and Miracle Rankin.

BREAKING: An FBI agent interviewed a high-ranking Wisconsin election official in recent days about the 2020 election. The agent wanted to know how elections are carried out and about various 'theories'. The election official had to debunk false claims and clarify how elections work.

And the Supreme Court cries foul..fuck them all

Remember: Wealth cannot be separated from power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people. Taxing the rich isn't just an economic issue, it's a defense of our democracy.

It’s staggering How swiftly states in the South can still move to stymie Black voters And how ready they were to do so
