Lifelong New Yorker transplanted to Jersey… but the good part. The blue part where people still believe in science and democracy.

Trump's unhinged 1,300-word assault on Bill Maher is a chilling testament to a president's accelerating descent into madness. The world is witnessing the total psychological collapse of America's commander-in-chief — and it's fucking terrifying.

Trump waiving sanctions against Russia is the most predictable thing ever. The silence of some GOP elected officials is likewise the most predictable thing. Throw the trash out in November. This isn’t funny anymore

One of the many things the Democrats need to do is completely divorce the U.S. federal government from everything Musk owns. This guy's a monster with enormous power and he's destabilizing democracies all over the globe. It's time to fight back.

Come January, Democrats should target Space Caligula’s government contracts and his security clearances for aiding the enemy. Hit him where it hurts most.

For the love of God, stop saying this regime's ruthless authoritarianism "raises questions" and start telling us what answers you have for us. If you can't do that, get the fuck out of the way.

The timing of this raid and reports that a White House official was involved raise serious questions that should concern all Americans, regardless of political party.

Ilhan Omar came to the US when she was 13. Trump's goons are now trying to find mistakes her dad made in their immigration paperwork in an apparent attempt to denaturalize her. Her dad died of COVID over six years ago. These people are monsters with no boundaries. They must end up in jail.

Today Russia celebrated the lifting of sanctions on diesel exports by dropping five glide bombs on residential buildings in Zaporizhzhia. At least 15 people are killed, among them 3 children. The number may rise as rescuers check the rubble‼️

HOLY PA-01 SCOOP IN POLITICO!! Brian Fitzpatrick's awful ads seem to show a bunch of news headlines. But those deceptive quotes didn't come from actual news reports - they were written by one of his wedding guests, a felon who was once on the payroll of his own campaign, who self-published them!

The White House accord on AI that was signed by all the big tech oligarchs today misspells United States as “Unites States.”

Seven men took turns. 57 men where in the chat. None face charges. Three were expelled. Four wrote essays as a “punishment” One day, will one of them cry when his nomination for the US Supreme Court is questioned?

If you want to really know how the outrage machine gets fired up: 1. Schmitt plans to drop “bombshell” on Smith 2. Someone plants story that Schmitt is a Vance VP contender to run same day 3. Right-wing Twittersphere gets talking points 4. Schmitt steps in it 5. Scheduled tweets go out anyway

A very long week in court. So, I am setting a another ambitious goal this weekend of 1000 new Democracy Docket subscribers. No spam, or unwanted emails. Just information and analysis about what is happening to voting and elections. Link: demdock.com/4w6emld

Trump's foreign policy is not isolationist. On the contrary, his ideologues want to build an international empire run by far-right political movements who serve American crypto, mineral and tech companies, many with links to the president. Read more here: www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

Trump says he will cut off all trade entirely with "some nations" unless the Fed lowers interest rates

He runs the party and says he has to “reach across the aisle” to a fascist leader’s son while he kills protestors and tries to stop all elections, all the while he actively campaigns against anybody in the party with any momentum because it threatens him personally. He’s gotta go.

People have to take the rhetoric at the GOP convention seriously. The anti-trans, anti-immigrant hate isn't just words. It's is what the GOP is running on. Hatred of the "other". They really, actually want concentration camps. And for women not to have the vote. They say it and they mean it.

Trump claims he was basically lifted out of the rubble on 9/11: "Two fireman, big strong guys, they grabbed me under the arms -- 'got to get our of here!' -- and they literally lifted me up, and they started running with me."

“Kirill Dmitriev, an envoy for Mr. Putin who handles informal negotiations with the White House” www.nytimes.com/2026/09/05/w... Dmitriev’s press notices have come a long way from ‘some Russian guy who had a beer with Erik Prince when they both happened to be in the Seychelles.’

US Trump regime lackeys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are in Moscow to discuss the latest plot to force Ukraine to surrender to Russia, create a fake ceasefire that lasts until the US midterms end to benefit Trump politically, and possibly receive assistance with rigging the elections again.

Here's how bad the public version of Google Gemini. When I searched for "elon musk 19th amendment x post fake" the AI answered it was fake. When I left off the word "fake" the AI told me that Musk had made the post.
