Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández credited our reporting as the catalyst for the Justice for Citizens Wrongfully Detained by ICE Act.
We revealed that 500+ U.S. citizens have been detained in warrantless arrests since Trump returned to office.
A Putin-Trump-Xi summit isn’t a three-way negotiation. It’s two vs. one.
Two adversaries who have each shown they can manipulate Trump, coordinating across the table from him. The concessions could be unthinkable.

THE SENATE IS WITHIN REACH — and Democrats just hit a NEW HIGH in Nate Silver’s model.
Dems are leading or within striking distance in the states that will decide control.
Even a 2-point polling miss could still give Dems a 52–48 Senate majority.
No complacency. No excuses. Flood the polls. VOTE.
Many aircrews in Iran theater just got extended to April 2027. This will be over a year deployment.
The damage to retention, and families, will be massive. Especially in the Guard and Reserves.
This is not due to the war. It’s due to awful planning by Hegseth
Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff to Vladimir Putin today: “You talk so much about Trump being a humanitarian, you are a humanitarian also, sir. And I salute that. I commend you.”
Ukraine was winning the war, so Trump kneecapped Ukraine to help Russia.
I wish it weren’t that simple, but it is. Our president is in bed with our enemies.
This has been Putin's dream for years: That his country, with GDP per capita lower than Poland, unable to conquer Donbas since 2014, will be treated as an equal to the US and China.

A good summary here of how much Meta is in the tank for Trump. And a reminder that the authoritarian threat comes not just from within the Trump administration but from its oligarchic allies. Oligarchic power is now a clear and present threat to our democracy.

Ossoff: "It's the most corrupt administration of all time & everybody knows it. While the crook president & his crook family rake in billions from all over the world, you pay more for everything... they lied us into war & spent most of the last year covering up for the world's most famous pedophile"
The “Tommy” shown in this viral video from Abdul El-Sayed is a former staffer for Sen. Josh Hawley and the son of a GOP strategist.
For nearly five minutes, El-Sayed questioned the man about his understanding of the Constitution and the religious freedom it affords all Americans. Simply brilliant.
Stand with Zelensky and against Putin.
Stand with Pope Leo XIV and against ICE.
Stand with No Kings and against Meta.
Stand with the people and against the oligarchs.
Stand with liberal democracy and against Trump.
We reviewed FBI documents that showed a sweeping pay-to-play investigation involving Sen. Susan Collins was in motion. Then Trump shut down the unit in charge.
Had we found a road map to corruption in Congress? We decided to dig deeper.
🚨BREAKING: Donald Trump threatened California election officials with jail time hours after DOJ warned that they could face “criminal exposure” if they do not disenfranchise thousands of voters the federal government has flagged as potential noncitizens. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Trump says gas prices are “lower than when Biden was president.”
Gas today is $4.35. Under Biden, it averaged $3.46 and was $3.01 when he left office.

Trump’s ex-chief of staff John Kelly said this to me, six years ago:
“I don't know how he’s not in an institution somewhere, whether it’s jail or a nuthouse. He’s a seriously sick guy. I never heard him saying anything that wasn’t a lie.”
Trump has only gotten worse since.
Our analysis found that from 2020 to 2025, the rate of deaths involving ectopic pregnancies nearly doubled compared with the previous six-year period.
The uptick was steeper in states with abortion bans.
Why would a physical search of Omar’s home in 2026 be relevant to or necessary for an investigation into whether her dad filled out a form incorrectly decades ago?
If there’s evidence of fraud or other financial crimes, let’s see it. But trying to denaturalize and deport a sitting member of Congress over mistakes a parent allegedly made on immigration forms when she was a child is immoral and reprehensible. We can’t stand for it.
Well, it’s a quick take, and no doubt data will come in, but it sure looks like based on today’s evidence that a lot of pro-Trump and pro-AfD bot work depends directly on Russian data centers.
ProPublica designed a reporting experiment to demonstrate how easy it can be to open private schools that might then access public money.
We succeeded in opening two schools. No credentials or background checks required.
Chris Murphy: "Donald Trump was so fundamentally unprepared for this war that within days of the war starting, our billion dollar air bases and naval bases in the region were obliterated by the Iranians. Every single American should be furious about that."
Hours after President Trump announced a deal to buy Russian diesel, a Russian attack in Ukraine, on Saturday killed at least 20 people. The Kremlin said there would be no immediate resumption of discussions to end the war. Trump said Ukraine should “get a new president.” trib.al/6soAOJj
Wow — listen to these new comments from Trump. Thanking Putin, trashing Zelenskyy, characterizing Russia as eager for peace and Ukraine as intransigent. The mask is totally off.
In Trumpworld, everything has a price tag
An ambassador allegedly wanted cash wired straight to her AmEx, $TRUMP holders bid for dinner w/ the president & Wall Street can pay to see his posts before you do

Zacharia: "I am looking forward to walking in & working for President Trump. This job is not about me, it's about him... his policies are the most effective, most exciting. He's the most energetic, intense president we've ever seen. When I was there yesterday he showed me where the ballroom will be"
Trump announces that the U.S. will buy Russian oil.
This is just a few weeks after Trump signed the Lindsey Graham Russia Sanctions bill, which authorized him to place 100% tariffs on countries that are the biggest importers of Russian oil/gas.
Are we going to tariff ourselves now?
The United States is now officially allied with Vladimir Putin and Russia. We will fund Russia’s genocidal war machine in exchange for Putin helping Trump and the Republican Party in the midterms. One of the most shameful and disgusting days in the history of this Republic.
This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.
Adam Hamilton keeps racking up endorsements from retired senior Kansas Republican office holders, who seem to have a very low opinion of the incumbent Sen Roger Marshall.
Ossoff: "Tonight, a united Georgia will hear the trial the Mike Collins. Mike Collins has brought dishonor to our state through his personal bigotry and his widely documented ties to white nationalists. And he's sold out Georgia in his pathetic child-like devotion to Donald Trump."
Have you guys noticed that Republicans who were a rubber stamp for Trump for the last decade are now suddenly pretending to be defenders of democracy?
Amazingly, Senator Thom Tillis is finding his courage right around the time his book tour is launched. How brave!
Read my take at the link below ⬇️
Trump is actually very transparent about what he wants to do to elections. Yet the legacy media discounts him.
“I have to take him seriously because that’s my job,” Marc Elias says.

Tonight is my first of four debates with Senator Susan Collins.
Eight years ago today, she voted to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. He went on to help overturn Roe v. Wade—and she still says she doesn’t regret her vote.
I’m fired up and ready to hold her accountable.
"Among the first to appear before the judge was Angel, a 13-year-old. He had no attorney. “Would you like to request voluntary departure, or should I issue a removal order?” the judge asked “I don’t know,” Angel said, bursting into tears: “I have no one. I have nothing.”

🗳️ While Trump has spent his second term pulling teeth to find minute figures of noncitizen voters, a new poll shows the American public has other concerns.
Most Americans say the bigger problem isn’t ineligible people voting. It’s eligible voters staying home: https://demdock.com/4hJCPah
