Republicans filed yet another lawsuit to disenfranchise voters today. I founded Democracy Docket to be fearlessly independent in covering the fight for democracy in courts. Five years later, DD is stronger and busier than ever. Support its work: newsletters.democracydocket.com/member-meblu...

California’s orchards and fields are wilting—not from drought, but from Trump’s anti-immigrant crusade. Deportations and visa bottlenecks have gutted the farm-worker force, pushing family farms into bankruptcy and letting crops rot. His nativism is starving the very food chain that feeds us all.

“ICE” better catch a clue before they attack folks and then lie to a judge about being attacked. We are watching and recording them, as is our right. We’re not just relying on surveillance video.

When you cut healthcare for people, they die, it's called murder. #3E #EndAutogenocide

"Why did you do this to me? I thought we were friends!"...

I am going to pause to say thank you to @SenateDems & ALL PEOPLE who have been engaged in education & activation! Thank you to those that are calling your Senators! I will do my part in the house, if we get that far! 🤞🏾

I worked at Planned Parenthood. They diagnose cancers while still treatable. They help women decide what birth control works for them. They help those working through mental health challenges.   Defunding them just harms people who already struggle to find places to get care.

Here he is, folks. The President of the United States selling his new men’s cologne for $199 and women’s perfume for $249.

Just so incredibly embarrassing

ICE “bounty hunters” dressed like they’re in a war zone to detain day laborers and a lady selling tacos at a Home Depot in Cypress Park this morning. I’m so sick of these punks!

“Pro-life”

I obtained this from a community member minutes after arriving on scene following a raid at the Cypress Park Home Depot this morning. they detained day laborers.

CHARLAMAGNE: “It’s crazy to me that ‘socialism’ is such a dirty word, when all it is is trying close the gap between the rich and the poor and make sure everybody has access to basic necessities... That why I like when @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social uses ‘affordability’.”

NEW: Kristi Noem secretly took a cut of political donations and then failed to disclose it www.propublica.org/article/kris... w/ @josh-kaplan.bsky.social @amierjeski.bsky.social

Eric Trump says his family hasn't profited from his father's political career. But the numbers tell a different story, from Trump Media and Technology Group to the $TRUMP memecoin to the Trump Organization's expanding foreign business developments.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) Monday said it will appeal a judge’s ruling against President Donald Trump’s executive order targeting Perkins Coie, a law firm that has represented his political opponents, as well as plaintiffs in voting rights cases. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

NEW: Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show. She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

Don't listen to the naysayers and professional cynics who want you to believe all is lost. We will fight to defend this law.
