Democracy requires an informed public. Real news is not 24/7 entertainment. End Citizens United. Ready for good trouble 💙 (Pls. excuse my quarterly AAPL earnings WAGs).

NEW: My open letter to David Ellison. You argued that the American people have misjudged you — that they are wrong about what is in your heart and mind. I want to be clear: I don’t care what you think or feel. What I care about is your actions. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

Many of you are asking how you can help me. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket and share its content. demdock.com/4w6emld
@housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedemocrats.bsky.social Seems like this is worth following up on? Please put on some brass knuckles.
The GOP of my generation (80s and 90s) would never believe today's GOP inviting Putin in the fold. Incredible. And extremely dangerous. WTF Republicans! (And I don't vote for supplicants).
What if hostile foreign governments were able to control social network algorithms in the United States, suppressing information vital to our survival as a democracy? That would be weird.

"60 Minutes" reporter Sharyn Alfonsi, fired for standing up for editorial independence, doesn't want a CBS repeat at CNN. She's joined nearly 250 journalists in signing our letter speaking out against the Ellisons giving the gov. a seat at the news desk.
I canceled Paramount Plus - Larry and David Ellison aren't getting a nickel from me. Oligarchs can self-deport themselves to Russia; They don't respect American democracy and are in fact in the process of breaking it.
🔥 SPRINGSTEEN: "I’m here to support Stephen Colbert, the first guy who lost his show because a president can't take a joke - and the Ellisons feel they need to kiss his ass… small-minded people with no idea what freedoms of this beautiful country are supposed to be about." 🇺🇸

The FUTURE OF DEMOCRACY depends on getting rid of Citizens United. It's that simple. (Only the billionaire class wants to keep it, and they have zero interest in YOU).
My resolution to overturn the Supreme Court’s disastrous Citizens United decision — H.J.Res 122 — has now been co-sponsored by 72 Members of Congress. You can view the full list at: www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c.... I’ll keep fighting to get it across the finish line!

The Democracy Docket growth team tells me we need 700 new subscribers this weekend to hit their next benchmark. If you haven’t already signed up here is your chance to support independent, pro-democracy media. bit.ly/4qmEiFz
This!
one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

A Cult Expert Explains How to Deprogram the Cult of MAGA Dr. Steven Hassan has spent the past five decades studying cults and mind control. MAGA is a modern cult, brainwashed and manipulated by Trump and the right-wing ecosystem. But there's a way out. open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed. www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...
Boycotts work! I canceled my ParamountPlus subscription. The Ellisons want to turn CBS and CNN into Trump TV, and democracy won't survive another election if journalism fails and 89M can't be bothered.
“What's happening to CBS is a terrible embarrassment and if execs think they can build shareholder value by avoiding journalism that might offend the Mad King they are about to learn a tough lesson. This is still America and we don’t enjoy bullshit like this.” www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Blanche, Bondi, et al: Hope you can make the next No Kings protest.
NEW: Blanche tells CNN noisy Trump protesters, if 'organized,' could face federal investigation. Seeking to calm Bondi 'hate speech' flap, her deputy also takes highly unusual tack for a DOJ official: touting GOP stance & denigrating Democratic Party www.politico.com/news/2025/09...
Faux Neuz isn’t news! @foxnews.com.web.brid.gy @foxnewsradio.bsky.social @foxnewspolitics.bsky.social
Outrageous. In broad daylight, Pam Bondi is dismantling the Justice Department in the service of Trump's past, present and future illegality and his attempt to overthrow U.S. democracy.
@hcrichardson.bsky.social “Injustice” Dept. Abruptly fires 6 prosecutors in J6 Capitol riot apnews.com/article/jan-...
This. I will never understand how Americans could give their vote to Trump. He is accomplishing what our worst enemies have attempted, to destroy our economy, reputation and influence. (Tucker Carlson just admitted FOX News is propaganda, so stop watching it!)
Okay. The world can see this. Why it so hard for 30% of Americans to continue holding out hope a leopard will change it's spots?
Wake up America!
