Fall is here. So we can finally talk about this serious topic... Jonagold vs. Honeycrisp apples.

BREAKING NEWS: Convicted Felon Donald Trump has now been ordered to sit for his sworn videotaped deposition by December 11, 2026, or risk having his $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the BBC dismissed.

The people of Minneapolis are in the streets tonight to demand justice for all lives stolen by police and ICE.

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.

Elon Musk boosted the lie that James Talarico stayed at a mental hospital. Meta suspended No Kings’ Instagram account during nationwide actions. Staff at the Ellison-owned CBS News were reportedly told to tie Abdul El-Sayed to the Muslim Brotherhood and 9/11. Democracy dies in billionaire hands.

GM just announced the biggest stock buyback in automotive industry history. Instead of investing in their workers or new product lines, GM executives are robbing from the future to pay themselves and their shareholders today. Stock buybacks should be illegal.

NEW: New Mexico AG, @nmdoj.bsky.social, just announces that a judge has issued a judgment in the amount of $25 BILLION against Meta for lying to consumers and users about how Meta collected, protected, shared, and used their personal information.

Elon Musk has spent at least $366 million since July to boost Republicans ahead of the 2026 midterms. That’s just 0.0385% of his total net worth. Oligarchs can rig the system at the expense of everyone else, and only spend pennies doing so. We must get Big Money out of politics.

Ocean Beach, San Francisco 💙

Arrest Musk. Nationalize StarLink. Dismantle and totally reform this corrupt system so this can never happen again.

Meta took down the No Kings organizing page today - the biggest day of protest this fall. They provided zero explanation. It stayed down for the entire afternoon until most of the protests were done. Outrageous. Put this on the January investigation list.

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

Protesters in Ocean Beach, San Fransisco made a human banner on No Kings Day today to encourage people to vote early for the most consequential midterm elections in US history. Beautiful.

Elon Musk is single-handedly funding the Ken Paxton campaign:

that’s right

FFS… Is it really an accident anymore at this point?

For years, New Yorkers have demanded access to City records about the lasting health impacts of the horrific September 11th attacks. For years, they have been denied and ignored. That ends today. nyc.gov/sept11docs

Thou shalt not trust A SINGLE WORD from corporate media talking heads who LOOK AWAY while the president is CERTIFIABLY INSANE.

I’m liking his new ’do!

I'm going to KEEP talking about how Senator Rick Scott, the RICHEST man in all of Congress, DEFRAUDED Medicare & is trying to CUT Social Security. Will you join me?🤚

I hope it’s clear to everyone who cares about the survival of our democracy that we need massive turnout and landslide margins to counteract the lies and cries of fraud that are coming after the midterm vote.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson accused the Supreme Court’s conservative majority of injecting “chaos and uncertainty” into the 2026 midterm elections Monday after the Court lifted one injunction blocking Donald Trump’s anti-mail voting executive order. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

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!

In this Ohio diner, Harp still means the woke lager you're forced to order when the bar is all out of Miller, Coors, and Bud. But they do know this: All presidents have affairs with printer-wielding young women who resemble their daughter, but the media only reports when Trump does it.

A possible romantic relationship between a president and one of his aides isn’t something the public needs to know about. by Ken Starr and Newt Gingrich

Strait of Hormuz crossings back to zero. (via Schwab)

REMEMBER: They all knew.

Apple: ~$2.2 billion Nike: $986 million FedEx: ~$800 million Amazon: $640 million General Motors: $500 million Giant corporations are raking in millions in tariff refunds and getting even richer. But remember: corporations passed tariff costs on to you. Where's YOUR refund?

Mark your calendars: August 13 at 1 p.m. ET. The public can call in and listen as a federal court holds a hearing over the Justice Department’s compliance with court orders involving the Epstein files.

BREAKING: In my lawsuit against Todd Blanche for the Epstein Files, Judge Sullivan has just ordered Blanche to produce, in camera (in chambers), the UNREDACTED emails & documents, and Blanche must bring documentation supporting his representations the DOJ’s redactions are what he claims they are.

Infectious diseases like cyclospora and measles are spreading because the people in charge don't care about public health. That's why we need more scientists and/or healthcare professionals in the room. That's why I'm running.

Palestinian pediatrician Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya is being held and reportedly tortured in an Israeli prison with no charges, no trial and no Due Process. Netanyahu's government must immediately release him from these lawless, horrific and life-threatening conditions.

Everyone should be extremely concerned that birthright citizenship was 5-4 and not unanimous.

Well yeah, if Watergate happened again it would have gone off without a hitch because no one would have known about it until a year later when Woodward and Bernstein's book came out.
