Josh Hawley staffer and political operative Tommy: You are supposedly a Christian. Have you disavowed Christian domestic terrorists like Timothy McVeigh, The Aryan Nation, the KKK, Eric Robert Rudolph, and Dylann Roof, etc., etc., etc.? If not, what are YOUR allegiances?

Abdul El-Sayed@abdulelsayed.bsky.social

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

Families shouldn't be priced out of health insurance or have to skip the doctor or medications because of costs. It’s way past time for universal health care, and I'll keep pushing to make that a reality.

A group of Democratic U.S. senators are the latest to demand that Attorney General Todd Blanche publicly pledge the Department of Justice (DOJ) won’t seize ballots or election materials during the midterms. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

democracydocket.comTodd Blanche must confirm DOJ won’t seize ballots, senators demand“This confirmation is necessary because Department leaders have been sending conflicting public signals," the senators wrote in a letter to Blanche.

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

Jones: I've been told I'm too young to understand politics. Too young to understand why some neighborhoods get parks while others get police tape… But they never said I was too young to inherit the debt…. too young to inherit the consequences of decisions I never got to make

When you see all these corrupt, ridiculously unqualified and incompetent Trump officials in action, realize that it is only possible because Republicans have the majority in the senate and voted to confirm them. The only way to stop it is to take that majority away.

Republican politicians are *obsessed* with schoolchildren coming home a different gender because of pro-trans teachers, WHICH NEVER HAPPENS. But they are completely indifferent to schoolchildren not coming home *at all* because of guns, WHICH HAPPENS ALL THE TIME!

This guy is not smart.. or just getting paid off. Possibly both.

Assistant AG for Fraud Colin McDonald: "Apparently 35% of people have never even used their Obamacare account for any health services. That is a statistical impossibility and it's because these are not real people seeking real care. These are fraudsters."

Who could’ve foreseen that after the Supreme Court gave Trump immunity from prosecution for committing crimes while in office he would commit lots of crimes while in office?

They want all the healthcare money.

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social

On this day in 1994, the Clinton administration's heathcare reform plan was declared "dead" by Congress. Over 30 years later, the US is still the only industrialized country without universal healthcare. This should be a national outrage.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media. Airlines have merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

I absolutely LOVE this. Christian Bale spent roughly 17 years fighting to make this happen. This week, his foster-care village opened in Palmdale, California: 12 homes built specifically to help keep siblings together when they enter foster care.

#ResistanceUnited #ProudBlue #ONEV1 #DV1 Good people don’t commemorate themselves. It happens when the people who love them choose to honor them. If someone puts their own name on something & touts it, it’s self-promotion, not proof of greatness. 🙏RIP Dolly Parton

Nashville Banner@nashvillebanner.bsky.social

Editor @scavendish.bsky.social writes that there is an honor big enough for only one person — Nashville should rename the airport for Dolly Parton.

nashvillebanner.comNashville needs to rename its airport for Dolly Parton - Nashville BannerMultiple proposals from both sides of the political spectrum are being prepped to rename BNA for Dolly Parton, and the decision to so should be a no-brainer.

F-ing Amazing! We only we all could learn from this…

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@mayor.nyc.gov

At our municipal grocery stores, New Yorkers will get a 30% discount on eggs, milk, chicken, produce and other everyday essentials. In the wealthiest city in the richest country in the world, no one should have to wonder how they’ll afford the food they need to feed themselves or their families.

100 days. That’s all it takes for voters to clean house after the corruption, the casualty count games, and the endless war bills. Spoiler: the wave is already forming. #BlueWaveIn100Days
