Zelenskyy calls out monthlong wait for Hegseth to sign off on Patriot missiles

From Zelenskyy. Patriot interceptors that could save innocent lives are sitting in European countries for weeks, which they paid for, unable to be transferred to Ukraine because Hegseth refuses to sign off.

Is the GOP really defending childhood rape?

Um, is this “administration” really defending child sexual abuse?

Four brothers went to war against Hitler. Three were killed. The fourth survived, and his grandson, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, is the president of Ukraine. Zelensky comes from a family that fought tyrants: Trump negotiates with them while demanding concessions from their victims.

If Zohran Mamdani or Abdul El-Sayed had used the word “Shylock” as an insult, the ADL would be attacking them by name relentlessly. But Donald Trump used it, so we get a generic condemnation of the word without any specific reference to who actually used it, and with no assumption of intent.

Republicans trying to connect Abdul El-Sayed to the Muslim Brotherhood by way of lies. Meanwhile his GOP opponent Mike Rogers is close friends with Donald Trump who incited the Jan. 6 attack--the largest terrorist attack on US soil since 9/11. Where are the questions by media on this?!

Trump escalates his campaign of judicial intimidation.

Ten years ago today. In just the last few days: Trump made a deal for the U.S. to buy Russian diesel, an economic lifeline for Putin; he and Elon Musk blamed each other for an order that slowed down Starlink satellite connectivity over Ukraine...

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

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

Trump is not doing his job. He should be fired immediately. "...with last month’s Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026, Congress had tasked Trump with applying economic pressure on Russia, not with easing that pressure." --Heather Cox Richardson

THREE WEEKS FROM TODAY IS THE BEGINNING OF THE END OF THE MOST CORRUPT ADMINISTRATION IN U.S. HISTORY. IF WE ALL VOTE. 🗳️ #AccountabilityIsComing11/3/26

A government that breaks its own laws is a government of lawlessness.

We’ve been talking about this for years. None of these far-right movements are organic.

Uh oh, did someone’s website and personal account experience a big drop in activity after Ukraine hit a Russian data center?

Zelenskyy: "Prices are rising because of the war in the Middle East, the blocking of Hormuz. Everyone understands it. If we want to speak with people fairly, if we want to be clear, if we want to speak with our nations openly, people have to hear reality. Don't play games with people."

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."

Trump's pact with Russia makes it clear that RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA was never a hoax at all. It was FACT. IMPEACH CONVICT REMOVE

Thank you, America! Money from diesel will help me kill even more Ukrainian children.

IMPEACH CONVICT REMOVE

Absolutely 👇 This.......

Imagine being Blake Johnson, an Iowa father of 3, discovering your water has 3X the legal nitrate limit. He goes to Washington for answers, and Rep. Ashley Hinson, who takes agribusiness money, reportedly RUNS AWAY and hides behind a locked door. #CostOfTrumpsCorruption

The majority of Minnesotaans possess vastly superior intelligence to the current president. Not to mention, great empathy, caring and compassion — qualities that are utterly foreign to him.

We received our $90 Medicare support to help us pay our premium. Together our premium costs us $846 a month. We decided to use the $ to send post cards to remind democrats to vote. I think it's wise use. Vote blue #Impeach #Convict #Remove #GTS #Proudblue #Blues

ENOUGH. End ICE. Abolish Evil. Fire Steven Miller.

ICE appears to be using the parking lot of the Roxbury warehouse for processing and brief detention, and at least once appears to have taken people inside. But also, read this inside look from a federal contractor about how everyone knew the warehouse plan was insane but Miller demanded inhumanity.

I really liked Troy Jackson’s closing statement in his debate with Suzan Collins tonight. He’s right:  what good is it to have power if you’re not using it to help the people who elected you and trusted you.

Not my president. Clearly, not a president for all Americans. “Let them (Iran) take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego.” Then Trump called it a “small price to pay.” Millions of us dead. And his audience laughed. Reporting from my local news…

History won't ask what you posted. It'll count who showed up. Be in the count: check your registration, make your voting plan, and bring two people with you. When we vote, we win. #LetsGetVoteReady

I will say this again and say it often. Tyrants do not care about polls. His indifference must chill us all. He does not care because he has no intention of losing.

"I give us an A+ on the government, on economics, on everything." -Donald Trump, October 1 [Chart via Heather Long]

Point blank.

This is what the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool looks like today after a $17M deliberate fuck up and the orange felon won’t stop until he destroys everything. Makes me sick to my stomach every day.

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

In the middle of a war? www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

The SCOTUS ruling in favor of resuming deportations of migrants to unknown countries is an abomination. As Pope Francis often said: “Migrants are not pawns of the chessboard of humanity; they are people with stories who deserve our love and care.”

Tyrants don’t care about approval ratings. I think that’s something that people in this country should take seriously.

In fact, there is no land of the free without it being the home of the brave!

We need to get a full accounting of every dollar each media company accepted of our money stolen by Trump to run his partisan political ads on their channels. Companies who accept these ads are receiving property stolen from the American people & are a disgrace for accepting them
