2026 can stop being 2025 any time now thank you very much.

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

Musk owns X. Ellison owns CBS & CNN. TikTok blocked Musk movie account. Meta blocked No Kings account. Democracy Docket is not built on Substack, ActBlue or any platform that could turn against it. It costs more to operate but is worth it. Subscribe now. demdock.com/4w6emld

Did we really win the Cold War? Defeat fascism? Bury the Confederacy? In retrospect, thanks to Trump, MAGA and their enablers, perhaps none of those things. My latest. Hope you’ll give it a read. davidrothkopf.substack.com/p/so-as-it-t...

Native American people celebrate their history of resilience with ceremonies, dances and speeches.

2. There is no definitive tool to CHECK for AI usage 3. There is no policy or law (at least not at my publication) that says you cant and what consequences will be. It’s a LAWLESS terrain and there needs to be a unified body of guidelines instead of a vibe-based witchhunt.

Didn’t Trump say something about, oh I don’t know, “draining a swamp“ or something?

Let me give you the actual solution to this problem. Universities and colleges have to hire football players as union employees (AFL-CIO, same as the NFL), with no requirement to attend school. They get health and retirement benefits, and are limited to a five year employment contract.

my live fuel clock showing Americans now have spent $70 billion more on filling up with gasoline since March 1 (vs same period a yr ago) and $44 billion more on diesel (same dates) for a total of ~$114.2 billion spent over this time.

Diversity terrifies MAGA. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

It's important to remind readers that while there are a few anti-trans dems, many are doing great work. Spanberger in VA did not flinch at anti-trans attacks. Now, she just ended Governor Youngkin's infamous rule that would ban trans students from bathrooms. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Forbes gets the headline right. 🏆 www.forbes.com/sites/maryro...

9/11 should evoke many things. Memories of those lost. Admiration for the courage of those who sacrificed so much. But it also should engender humility. Before and after the attack, the U.S. national security establishment failed repeatedly. Intel failed. Our reactions to the attack...

Stay strong comrade Mapquest

It was always about the money. www.cnn.com/2026/08/24/p...

"The decision by Trump to dissolve USAID — once the world’s largest humanitarian donor — gutted maternal and neonatal care, decimated nutrition programs for millions of pregnant women and children, and left scores of birthing centers devoid of equipment and medicine..." apnews.com/article/usai...

National debt now over 40 trillion. How's that swamp draining going.

I hope people will actually listen to the statements of El Sayed about his focus--improving the lives of the people of Michigan, getting money out of politics, unrigging the system, standing up to Trump, Rogers & MAGA--and tune out the inside-the-beltway soap opera about division peddled by pundits.

Faux finish about sums them up. talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...

Messaging for the Dems seems like it would be crystal clear and yet we’re gonna sit around and argue about what is socialism and what isn’t. “Remember when they promised to drain the swamp?” “They promised an end to forever wars.” And so on. Use their promises against them. This shit ain’t hard.

This is the play in every single industry at the moment. A massive bailout for mediocre white underachievers .

Three years ago, our reporter received an envelope with no return address. Inside was a flash drive containing tens of thousands of files: years of secretly recorded conversations, private militia chat logs and videos sent by a man named John Williams. (Published Jan. 2025)

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

Watching DNC leadership, watching the topics they focus on, the out of touch candidates they favor again and again. I’m watching Tin Cup on that futile final hole trying to clear the water instead of taking a drop.

Life finds a way.

Thank you to everyone who signed up!

The FCC is demanding certain ABC stations file license renewals earlier than they're otherwise scheduled to in apparent retaliation for Jimmy Kimmel's jokes about the Trump administration. Help us flood the FCC with comments objecting to this attack on freedom of speech and freedom of the press.

My revulsion at the mainstream media for participating in the WHCD tonight can’t be overstated. They’re laughing at his jokes and shaking his hand? Fuck off. The corporate press is an enemy addicted to access. And this was true before the Ellison’s started their takeover.

Can’t be surprised the administration is downplaying number of war deaths from 18 to 14. This is the same admin that said Covid was limited to 15 people on a cruise ship and would be handled in a few weeks.

I’m confused. I thought we were going after Fauci instead of doing the endless war thing.

Thanks POTUS!

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: John Fetterman has now gone a few consecutive hours without an appearance on Fox.

War alright. War against American citizens. www.wired.com/story/humano...

Based on that speech I’m thinking.…I really should have listened to every Iraqi who told me if I paid them they would show me where the yellow cake was hidden.

They want people rattled - literally. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/...

Great. ICE taking all strays.

The Los Angeles Police Department let its Flock contract expire after an audit revealed that 161 cars were falsely flagged as stolen in a two month span. Mass surveillance doesn't keep us safe. LAPD must permanently cut ties with this tech and other cities must follow suit.

Years-old recurring meeting invites for accounts you no longer have, with clients who are three jobs on, sent by people you no longer work with...

The TDS is coming from inside the White House.

It doesn’t even matter if people are following the rules set up by DHS.

And check out @gillianbrockell.com's original story on this for Mother Jones. She is the only reason I and many other people even know this is happening: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Why would Iran want to get rid of Trump? He’s the best thing that ever happened to them.

🚨 NEW: ICE plans to open a new 'staging' facility for kids in Louisiana. Will be run by a private prison company that has reported deaths of 2 detainees since April at one of its facilities. Former IRS lawyer told me their tax filing "doesn't pass the smell test" www.thequeenzone.com/a-private-pr...

you asked, I answer: Why Lower Oil Prices Don't Guarantee Lower Gas Prices! If I had a nickel for every time someone told me “oil is at $70, gas should be $2.50,” I could probably buy a refinery. It’s one of the most common misconceptions I see. Read the article- LINK BELOW!
