How can American billionaires have any right to American tax payers’ money when THEY DON’T PAY ANY TAXES!?!? That money should ONLY be used to benefit those who pay taxes (which includes immigration services because they pay taxes!) Giving any money to billionaires is pure theft.
As FBI agents executed a court-authorized search warrant at an election facility in Fulton County, Georgia, Wednesday, lurking in the shadows of the operation was Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Steyer: If you can’t stand up for the rule of law, and instead stand by for cold-blooded murder of American citizens—you forfeit your right to be a leader. You forfeit your right to talk about things that are not about money.
All you get to talk about is money, because that’s all you care about.
Personally, I think the Nobel committee should revoke the peace prize and money from Machado for her disrespect of the prize and choose another recipient.
The insurance companies do realize that by supporting Trump’s BBBill and canceling the ACA subsidies they are actually biting the hand that feeds them, right? Anyone who receives subsidies will have to cancel their insurance and insurance companies will lose that revenue all together. 🤯
Notice how he doesn’t say he didn’t take the money? No, he said he did nothing wrong. He took it and is only getting away with it because we have the mafia in the White House.
“TRUMP MATH.”
@jaketapper.bsky.social calls out some of the lies Trump is using to justify firing the BLS commissioner over his bad jobs numbers, and continuing to take money from Americans with his tariffs.
(We look forward to reading Jake’s book about this)
Priscilla Chan’s decision to stop funding the school she opened to help struggling families shows the risks for communities reliant on wealthy private donors.

Giannoulias: We passed a bill through our office that became law to make sure that automatic license plate readers could not be used in cases involving abortion or immigration.
We found out a few weeks ago was that a law enforcement agency in Texas was using these automatic license plate readers
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."
-Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953
We need to realize that America is at war. Not with Iran (thats one front) but with the Trump administration. He has waged a full frontal blitzkrieg on American democracy. We need to realize this and start taking appropriate action.
I’m not sure why Gavin Newsome doesn’t activate the rest of his army guard to prevent the president from it or force him to overrule it…. Then fight on the second amendment guaranteeing a state a right to a militia. How can a state have a militia if the president can simply federalize it
The people at @smartelections.bsky.social are moving forward with a major lawsuit in NY over this obvious instance of fraud that took place in the 2024 Election...

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”
They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.
While Elon Musk and Donald Trump continue their public break up and tear down, the real story is the man replacing Musk at DOGE: Russell Vought.
Democracy Docket dug into Vought and his plans to wreak havoc on millions of Americans. Fund reporting that focuses on facts and cuts through the noise.
Margaret Brennan totally exposes FDA Commissioner Makary for making it up as he goes and making conflicting recommendations in order to cast doubt on covid vaccines. He's so terrible during this interview that Brennan is left shaking her head as she wraps it up.
Foxx: This is the American Dream story they all claim to support. I’m a first-generation American, raised by a single mom in Section 8 housing. SNAP benefits—food stamps—put food on our table.
Those social safety nets—they are not handouts, they are hand-ups.
Phang: If you see claims that those convictions have been overturned on appeal — it’s bullshit. They have not been overturned on appeal. I have no idea—strike that—I have every idea where that comes from. It comes from stupid, far-right people who don’t know how to read and don’t know the law.
Wow…a police department actually protecting its citizens from organized white militias! I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen this…AND it happened in Idaho! 😃
We can keep discussing these societal issues year after year, but nothing is likely to change. Instead, it’s up to you to take proactive steps to protect yourself and your family and live with the reassurance that you can protect your life if the threat arises—plain and simple.
We’ve been listening to conspiracy theorists heads exploding over everything not happening the past 15 years, and now as billionaires and corp America are literally conspiring to destroy democracy there hasn’t been a peep from those nut jobs. I guess conspiracies with paper trails are too obvious.
Frost: Tonight the people stealing are not folks with tattoos and hoodies but people wearing suits and ties and congressional pins sitting in the capitol now, not in some alley wrapped in darkness but the United States congress wrapped in the flag. It is disgusting and we will never forget this.
Speaker Pro Tempore: You are to direct your comments to the chair.
Jeffries: You know what's interesting? Every time I come on this floor, I can use sharp language, he can use sharp language, you choose to admonish me. I don't work for you sir. I work for the American people.
KIM: Do you know what section of the Constitution the suspension clause of habeas corpus is in?
NOEM: I do not. Nope.
KIM: Do you know which article is it in?
NOEM: I do not, sir.
