I love cooking for people I love, scuba diving and democracy. I have a problem with blue food, voter suppression and fascism. Mostly the last two.

RFK Jr., who's supposed to be all about "facts and logic," is out here removing members of the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee?!? Y’all, these aren’t political appointees. These are public health experts—people who’ve spent their careers working to keep Americans safe from disease.

CNN’s Jason Carroll was zip-tied and escorted away—for reporting the news. But they claimed he wasn’t under arrest? Why are they shooting rubber bullets at and silencing journalists? We still have a First Amendment.

Land of the free.

The situation was completely under control by LAPD. This ain't their first time at the rodeo. They know what to do. If they needed help, the mayor would have called the Gov, she knows the number. Taco decided on his own to send in troops and the timing was perfect to change the subject off Epstein.

If you want to understand why LA residents feel under attack, undercover DHS agents lying about their identity and authorizations to try to kidnap LA children seems a good start. People just do not understand the attacks LA is under by Trumpists right now.

CNN’s reporter on scene in Los Angeles: I’m being detained..

Truth-tellers, not rioters. Protect these two men at all costs. “You feel tough with your assault rifles and your sticks. You should be standing here with us. You’re on the wrong side of history.” “John Lewis said make good trouble… that means make trouble on behalf of democracy.”

💯

He’s disappearing innocent people off of our streets and ordering the military onto our streets. He does not give a damn about the rule of law. He is the very tyrant our founding generation rose up against 249 yrs ago. It’s time for the American people to rise up again.

Tyranny requires constant effort. Oppression is the mask of fear. Authority is brittle. And most importantly: you are never truly alone when standing up to authoritarianism. You have friends everywhere.

I’m Democrat David Jolly, and I’m launching my campaign today for Governor of Florida. Our state is in crisis — not just a crisis of policy, not right versus left, but a crisis of right versus wrong. It doesn’t have to be this way.

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

ICE crossed a line in LA

I miscarried twice…once in a toilet. A 9 week pregnancy is the size of a period clot. I flushed the toilet. Today, I could go to jail for that. Jail. For a wanted pregnancy my body rejected and I took care of by myself.

I was 17 years old when I raised my right hand for the first time and took an oath to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic—even when they’re sitting members of Congress — like Lauren Boebert.

According to AP, the typical pay package for S&P 500 CEOs rose to $17M last year — an increase of 9.7%. At half of the companies surveyed, it would take the median worker 192 years to make what the CEO did in one year.  This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

In a healthy information environment, this would be front-page news.

“A construction worker in south Alabama says he was forcibly detained Wednesday by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents who claimed his proof of U.S. citizenship was fake.” www.al.com/news/mobile/...

Right now, Republicans in Congress are trying to push through a bill that would put millions of Americans at risk of losing their health care. They want to cut federal funding for Medicaid, take away tax credits that help more people afford coverage, and raise costs for working class families.

"Some National Weather Service offices, including Jackson, no longer have overnight staff from midnight to 7AM. All three Kentucky offices - Jackson, Paducah and Louisville - are short-staffed. There is no meteorologist in charge at any of the three offices..." www.kentucky.com/news/state/k...

Trump’s “big, beautiful” bill provides massive tax breaks to billionaires while taking away food from an estimated 4 million children and about half a million seniors.

The Director of the FBI is openly lying to the American public about Canada being a major source of fentanyl. In the first three months of 2025, a grand total of 1.35 lbs of fentanyl was seized by border officials at our border with Canada — 0.06% of total seizures.

We cannot force a corpse to donate organs, but we can force a dead woman to be an incubator against her family’s wishes. The precedent this is setting is terrifying.

And this wasn’t an aberration or even the worst of it.

A Georgia mother is being forced to keep her brain-dead daughter alive because she’s pregnant and Georgia’s abortion laws are archaic. They’re forcing the family to pay to keep this woman alive — with an unviable baby — against their will. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

INBOX: "Moody's Ratings has downgraded the Government of United States of America's long-term issuer and senior unsecured ratings to Aa1 from Aaa and changed the outlook to stable from negative."

RFK Jr. said multiple times during his house and senate hearings today that no scientists have been fired from federal agencies. Our reporting has shown that hundreds, if not thousands, of scientists have been let go from NIH/CDC/FDA

1. Clay Jackson, a Texas lawyer, provided basic legal advice to an immigrant family fearing deportation Then, two officers visited him at his home, accusing him of "obstructing an ongoing immigration investigation" Then, after speaking publicly, he was fired from his job at a Fortune 500 company

At least his hair and makeup will be flawless

Y’all, I think I found that welfare state the right wingers keep crying about

BREAKING: The Interior Dept just used a fake “energy emergency” to greenlight gas and mining projects on public lands. It’s a lie. There is no energy emergency. This is a giveaway to big oil.

An autism "registry" culled from private medical records could potentially violate federal privacy laws and runs the risk of abuse. It also harkens back to a time when disabled people were labeled, segregated, and excluded. We won't go back.

I have seen a few questions regarding Democracy Docket: 1. It does not sell subscriber or member information or email addresses. 2. It is not part of Substack or ActBlue. It is fearlessly independent, unapologetically pro-democracy. Subscribe now. newsletters.democracydocket.com

Previous to the FDA, folks would put chalk and plaster of Paris in milk to make it appear white. They could also add formaldehyde to cover the smell and taste of spoiled milk.

Not to state the obvious, but none of them were sent to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. They all had lawyers, indictment by grand jury, a trial or a guilty plea where a judge ensured it was knowing & voluntary & access to an appeals process. In other words, all the hallmarks of due process.

Yes, it does.
