I just sent this out to Democracy Docket premium members, but in light of the Postmasters comments this morning threatening voting by mail, I felt it is urgent to post it online for everyone. Please read and share. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/mail...

Epstein survivors are sharing the most important ad you’ll see today. Please watch. Trump and his administration are trying to cover up this scandal, but we are not moving on from it.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

ILLINOIS!!! Show up and show out at the Broadview ICE facility tomorrow morning. Join us in peacefully protesting for our neighbors. The pressure is mounting — let’s get this inhumane facility shut down. 1930 Beach Street. 7-9 AM.

This is an illegal and dangerous weaponization of the federal government. That Jack Ciattarelli and the Trump admin are breaking the law and exposing private records for political gain is a violation of anyone who has ever served. No veteran's record is safe. www.cbsnews.com/news/nationa...

cbsnews.comArchives errs in releasing too much of Mikie Sherrill's military record to her opponent in governor's raceThe National Archives admitted a technician had erred in releasing Rep. Mikie Sherill's "entire record."

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

CALL TO ACTION: If you are in the DC area, drop everything you are doing and go join others at 5pm EST in Dupont Circle to protest Trump’s illegal military occupation and efforts to federalize DC police. #3E #freeDC

If this doesn’t cause each American great shame, then I don’t have much hope for where we’re headed.

“It was a nightmare.” “(The guards) tortured us physically and psychologically.” “We were like chickens or rats locked up … and they shot us with rubber bullets.” Words from Venezuelan migrants sent to a prison in El Salvador. Unimaginable cruelty. www.cnn.com/2025/07/23/a...

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

This isn’t a good idea even if the plane was being donated to the U.S. government. But Trump GETS TO KEEP THE PLANE??? It’s simply a cash payment to Trump in exchange for favors. Just wildly illegal.

I took an oath to the Constitution as a civil servant at the US National Science Foundation. When you love your country, you work hard for it. But Lauren Boebert isn't working hard for us. It's #PublicServiceRecognitionWeek —serving means putting the people first. That's what I'll do in Congress.

I'm suing the Trump administration over its unconstitutional dismantling of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.   Firing scientists, silencing doctors, and shuttering programs that help firefighters breathe and children thrive don't make America healthy.   It puts lives at risk.

Elon Musk’s staffers are trying to push into the National Gallery of Art. They recently met with the museum’s director and legal team, to question its legal status and explore ways to assert influence. One of the nation’s most respected art institutions is now in their crosshairs.

TODAY: The House is voting on the SAVE Act, a bill that could silence millions of voters. We should be working to make our elections more inclusive and accessible, and the SAVE Act does the opposite. Campaign Legal Center urges Congress to reject this bill.

The House is voting on the SAVE Act this week, a bill that could silence millions of voters by creating new barriers to voter registration that make it harder for Americans to make their voices heard. Congress must reject this bill.

Tactically, this seems like a fantastic time for institutions (law firms, universities) and individuals (Repubs in Congress) who want to stand up to Trump. He's openly cratering the economy, the weakness of Elon's ability to buy elections was just revealed in Wisconsin. The emperor has no clothes.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

Folks need to come to grips with the disturbing reality that Trump’s attack on the courts is just a continuation of his coup attempt of January 2021. It’s Jan. 6 everyday, until the nation rises up and insists on the rule of law. Rise, everyday, everywhere, all the time.
