Everyone keeps asking me how I’m feeling about early voting so far. I’m feeling like nobody *actually* knows anything, and this is the most important midterm of our lives. I’d rather be us than them, but we can’t get comfortable. We can’t get complacent. Go vote like we’re down 3%.

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

🚨 BREAKING: Meta pulled down the main No Kings Instagram accounts. We demand answers for why this happened during our National Day of Action Meanwhile, millions are mobilizing—they cannot silence us Follow for updates: @ACLU.org , @MoveOn.org , @publiccitizen.bsky.social & @Indivisible.org -TN

Trump and Musk are doing everything they can to try and force Ukraine to surrender to Putin while Musk spends over $300 million to try and buy the midterm elections to maintain total power. The American government under Republicans are on the side of evil. Vote them out.

Don’t get complacent. They’re still going to try to cheat. Check your registration. Vote early if at all possible.

Neiman Marcus closed its downtown Dallas flagship on Wednesday. The store played a notable role in the history of desegregation in Dallas. Previously, Black shoppers across the US could enter department stores, but they weren't allowed to try on clothes without adhering to certain conditions. 🧵

Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias. He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends. The one person he told was a ProPublica reporter. (Published Jan. 2025)

I just checked my voter registration. I encourage all of you to do the same. Try your state's official site. AVOID VoteSafe.Org. It's an Elon Musk scam to harvest data.

Not leaving.

“You didn’t tell me these were the same Persians who beat the Romans!”

Apparently it is of no concern to any Republicans that Trump and Bessent are taking in billions of dollars from plundered Venezuelan oil and nobody knows where the money is, where is has been going, if anyone is getting proceeds, with no accounting of any of it made available.

If Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, and Elon Musk all agree that we have to slow down - and now - something serious clearly happened with a frontier AI model. Journalists should be digging in to this. We aren’t getting the whole story here.

I am tired of people saying we can’t win in front of the Supreme Court. I’m annoyed by those who say my firm is too partisan to be effective. Today we won a huge redistricting fight before SCOTUS and a ballot access case before the Nebraska Supreme Court. The lesson: When we fight we win.

Restaurants from the Florida Keys to the Palm Beaches failed inspection.

BREAKING: we just filed to STOP the new USPS rule on mail ballots The Court only held that the injunction came too early. Now we HAVE a final rule & we are litigating it @democracydefendersfund.org & @campaignlegal.org are proud to represent LULAC, Madison WI & Travis County TX

Please don't overreact to Roberts Court decision on the contemplated USPS ballot moves They simply held that the injunction came too early in the process, before there was a final rule👇 Now we HAVE a final rule & we will litigate it. I'm as confident in our arguments here as in any of our cases!

welcome to the field of dreams, an homage to a movie revolving around men banned for life from baseball for gambling. brought to you by fanduel

NEW: Donor-advised fund sponsors have deemed the Southern Poverty Law Center ineligible for donations after Trump’s Justice Department charged the group with fraud. We decided to investigate how funds wield this power.

The real Pentagon reporters continue to do amazing work uncovering deception, lies, and corruption despite every conceivable obstacle put in front of them by Trump, Hegseth and his spokesman - including threats to prosecute them personally and their sources. Brilliant and brave.

CAUGHT ON CAMERA: Vivek Ramaswamy claims he “never once” said he was pro-data center expansion. We have the receipts.

We'll never have dinner with Trump. We'd rather beat him in court. Join our fight:

The institutional corporate media wonders why it keeps losing the trust of the American public. The White House Correspondents' Dinner is a prime example. "Donald Trump is putting on a hat saying he's running in 2028, and you're sitting there eating a dinner," @marcelias.bsky.social says.

WHAT HAPPENED THIS WEEK? 🗳️ Election deniers won key races in Arizona’s primaries 🖥️ Anti-voting advocates used New Jersey’s voter registration error to promote false election fraud claims 🏛️ A federal judge ruled Trump’s attack on mail voting is unconstitutional

If you are the DOJ, it is unprecedented to lose 17 straight voting cases in 17 different courts without winning a single one. It's even more remarkable when 8 of them were decided by judges appointed by Trump. How long will the networks ignore this? How long will Trump?

NEW: A Kansas court began hearing a challenge to a GOP-backed law that could make it more difficult for voters to cast a mail ballot in the state if it goes into effect. The trial marks the latest development in a protracted legal battle against a slew of voter suppression policies in the state.

Your good news Sunday: Amid all the fear and division, here's a story that restored a little faith in people. A town of just 200 people chose compassion over politics when one of their own needed them most. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

I’m on the ballot tomorrow to be one of the 601 delegates to vote on the Maine senate nominee. I may not have much of a chance since the Jackson & Shah campaigns have a combined 750 people on the ballot in a coordinated effort & I am not connected to any campaign. Plus the voting is online. If you

or someone you know is in Cumberland County (southern ME) they are free to vote tomorrow online for me or any of the other candidates if they are a registered Dems. Link to do so is here. mainedems.org/senate-race/...

"Muslim Man in Utah Stabbed. The Suspect Said He 'Intends to Kill Muslims'" The horrific attack has barely been covered by the media, and most U.S. politicians remain silent. From Zeteo:

Too often a crucial question goes unasked: is Palantir value for money for Britain? Me in the @theguardian.com on latest investigation from @lucasamin.bsky.social and I on the problems with Palantir in the UK www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

PASTOR LORAN LIVINGSTON (@CentralChurchNC): “There has never been a Christian nation, and never will be. You don’t live in one now. A Christian nation wouldn’t have killed and displaced 20 million Native Americans, or thought owning slaves was pleasing to God.”

Daniel's permissioned data proposal just dropped!! This will be a major upgrade for atproto that enables private groups & communities. Really hope this technical design resonates with people so we can keep moving fast, but please do get your comments in

🚨VICTORY: Supreme Court holds that federal Election Day statutes do not prevent Mississippi from counting absentee ballots postmarked by Election Day but received afterwards A huge victory for our clients and the Elias Law Group team. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

It should have been a celebration that reminded us of everything that connects us as a nation a moment to showcase the incredible diversity and creativity of the American people. That would have been a celebration worthy of this historic milestone.

We wanted to amplify this because it’s genuinely sad that this isn’t how America’s 250th birthday is unfolding. America’s 250th birthday should have been about bringing people together through our shared culture, history, music, art, and traditions.

He’s threatening to sue the media over pool coverage. What an unbelievable, petulant manchild. Everyone knew he was going to fuck up the reflecting pool. He fucked up the reflecting pool, and now he’s invented vandals (despite the fact that the pool is under 24/7 video surveillance) to blame.

How to ward off the curse coming for the Knicks in game 3 of the finals. #nba #finals #nyc #witch #summerhouse and don’t let a single Knick take a pic with him! Just ask Saquon Barkley what that does to your stats.

Salt water laced with cancer-causing chemicals, a byproduct of oil and gas drilling, keeps shooting out of the ground in Oklahoma. Experts say it means even more wastewater is spreading underground, poisoning the state’s water supply. (Published Oct. 2025 with @readfrontier.bsky.social)

NEW: This church teaches that once an abuser is forgiven, anyone who speaks about the wrongdoing can be accused of having an unforgiving heart. The burden of sin would shift from the person who committed the act to the person who won’t let the matter rest. W/ @startribune.com

A reminder that DOJ has sued 30 states for access to their sensitive voter files. DOJ is currently 0-8 in decided cases. This is what I mean when I say the future of democracy is on the docket. www.democracydocket.com

Another interesting fact: When I wrote that piece in 2019, 6,569 people in Kentucky, or 1 in 500 working age adults, were employed in coal mining. Today the number is 3,843, or about 1 in every 1,000 working age Kentuckians. But we have to save coal! Data here: eec.ky.gov/Energy/News-... 3/3
