A President ordering the Justice Department to criminally investigate a woman who won a sexual assault lawsuit against him makes Watergate look like an unpaid parking ticket.

Another late night in the fight for free and fair elections. To those asking me how they can help, here is my only ask -- subscribe to Democracy Docket for free and share its content. That is all! Thanks. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

We’re deeply grateful to all of the Tennessee Indivisibles and everyone else across the state who showed up in defense of democracy. We the People — especially Black and Brown Americans — have opposed tyranny in the past. The road may be longer than we hoped, but we will win. Again.

“Fascism begins the moment a ruling class, fearing the people may use their political democracy to gain economic democracy, begins to destroy political democracy in order to retain its power of exploitation and special privilege.” —Tommy Douglas, the guy who got Canada Universal Healthcare

The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The fifth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Do we really have a constitutional republic, with elected representatives making decisions on tax and spend issues, when an imperial president can just take our money and buy an airline? We don’t have a govt functioning with the consent of the governed - we have one man run amok.

It sucks that our service men and women and their families have to pay a heavy price for Cadet Bone Spurs’ stupidity while he builds his ballroom, hosts parties, plays golf, pardons drug traffickers and con artists, and grifts billions for himself from foreign sources.

NEGUSE: AG Bondi, that man works for you now, right? The man in that video from J6 yelling 'kill them!' at cops. His name is Jared Wise. BONDI: He does work for us, yes. I believe he was pardoned NEGUSE: And you expect hard-working police officers to believe you take law enforcement seriously?

As a lawyer, I will fight for free and fair elections in court. Just as importantly, I started Democracy Docket in 2020 to keep you informed about everything that is happening to democracy. No corporate overlords, no compromises, never bending a knee. Sign up now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Call it what it is. Door to door concentration camp round ups. You know when the full record comes to light there *will* be horrifying degrees of intentional genocide of non-whites in ICE facilities due if nothing else to over crowding. It is happening.

1/ Ciji Graham was the mother of 2-year-old SJ, a sister to 9 younger siblings, a beloved friend. She's also the 7th case we’ve found of a pregnant woman in a state restricting abortion who died after being unable to access standard care. This is her story.

Why do ICE agents carry guns? Not one single report of them being shot at!! Not one single story about apprehending anyone with a gun!! Take the weapons away from the untrained, unrestrained, incompetent agents. Do it for public safety.

The massive increase in hiring by ICE with big bonuses and lower standards on background checks, physical fitness, and length of training, makes it one big giant MAGA chud welfare program.

Any Democratic votes to fund DHS later this month as Minneapolis is being terrorized by DHS is going to be a major slap in the face to Americans living here. Demand major reforms or shut the government down.

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

Maybe they’re just looking for a heart.

Even if you are leader of the free world, you don’t just get an MRI without a clear reason to do so. There’s no such thing as a “screening” MRI.
