The Trump DOJ demanded California sideline ballots from voters it claims are noncitizens, from a list sent on a USB drive with a sticky note. Mainstream media doesn't cover these stories like we do. Subscribe to our newsletter to stay up to date: https://demdock.com/4spjoZj

This is a lie. Kari Lake filed an election contest, a court considered it and she lost.
Trump on Kari Lake, whose name he can't remember: "I want to give me respects to that person. She's a very good person. She suffered greatly. She won that election. Probably won the other one too. The damn machines were broken in Republican areas!"

I don't care who you are—we should ALL be able to agree that detaining babies and kids is WRONG. There's no other way to put it. ICE is out of control, and every Republican who just voted to cut them ANOTHER blank check is complicit in their inhumane actions.

I trust Trump about as far as I could throw him. Congress needs to BAN any kind of corrupt slush fund like this from EVER existing. A wink and a nod won't cut it—we need to ban it by LAW.
MENG: Are you going to issue new memo in writing rescinding weaponization fund? BLANCHE: I'm not committing to putting anything in writing. What would the purpose be? M: You established it in writing so it makes sense to rescind it in writing B: Ok. I'm not committing to doing anything in writing

Conversely "talent" will get you only so far. One, talent is spread more widely than people who fancy themselves geniuses might presume. Two, no matter how talented you are, you're probably neither a Prince nor a Picasso, and someone else pretty talented who's not a dick can do nearly all you do.
It really is amazing how far you can get in life by simply showing up and not being an asshole.

If Trump signs an unconstitutional Executive Order to take over voting, we will sue. I don't bluff and I usually win.
🚨BREAKING: President Donald Trump is expected to sign a sweeping executive order aimed at cracking down on mail-in voting, escalating his long-running effort to restrict voting access ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

BREAKING: Republicans have relented to Democratic demands to fund the rest of DHS besides ICE & Border Patrol. No more holding TSA hostage. No blank check for ICE & Border Patrol. We need real reforms & accountability. I'll keep fighting for exactly that.

They made them take down the videos because they would cause "reputational damage" to people like this young man, Nathan Cavanuagh, so definitely don't post this all over the internet with the name Nathan Cavanaugh attached, or this guy might suffer reputational damage. This guy, Nathan Cavanaugh.
This is Nathan Cavanaugh, another DOGE staffer explaining how he flagged grants at NEH for "DEI" which would be reviewed for termination. 404 Media has reviewed hours of this footage and we'll have more soon. Part of a lawsuit by @acls1919.bsky.social, @modernlanguage.bsky.social + @historians.org

Certain dudes are still upset with me when I said in 2012 that here in the US, being a straight white male is living on the lowest difficulty setting of life. From here on out I'm just going to refer them to these DOGE staffer depositions, and then tell them to go fuck themselves.

Can I prove that? NO There’s a reason for that
Johnson: “We had three House Republican candidates who were ahead on Election Day…And every time a new tranche of ballots came in, they just magically whittled away until their leads were lost…It looks on its face to be fraudulent. Can I prove that? No.”

Puritanical Pixie Mike Johnson: "Well, golly gosh darn it! Can you imagine if those meanies in the judiciary made our secret police follow that due process hooey in the dang Constitution? What an OUTRAGEOUS suggestion! Convenience over Constitution!"
Mike Johnson speaks out against the use of judicial warrants in immigration cases: "Imagine if we had to go through the process of getting a judicial warrant"
