Context note: DOJ doesn’t turn over evidence to Congress if they have a viable investigation in the works.

Both sides news coverage is killing democracy and there is no place where it is more dangerous that in how legacy media covers the GOP attacks on free and fair elections. For my latest and to access all Democracy Docket premium content, sign-up now. newsletters.democracydocket.com/member-meblu...

Challenge me, I dare ya

This is how it’s done! 👊🏿👊🏾👊🏽👊🏼👊🏻

The “No Kings” protest in my hometown of Huntington, New York is growing bigger and bigger by the minute. There literally are people up and down the block as far as the eye can see!! ✊🇺🇸 #NoKingsDay

Thousands of protesters jammed the streets around Manhattan’s Bryant Park on Saturday afternoon in a massive march that spilled down Fifth Avenue.

#NoKings Charlottesville was amazing. Crowd lining both sides of Seminole Trail as far as the eye can see.

Good night Blue Sky. Let's make history tomorrow #nokings

Be prepared and be safe, y'all 💙

2,169 events across 20 countries. Millions of peope are standing up tomorrow to say with one voice: No Kings!

Tough guy Glenn Trumpkin tries to scare those going to No Kings. He wants to be president. We're not afraid, are you? Nokings.org

That’s it. That’s the Rubicon. Rome has fallen, and if we do not act, all will be lost. Every last democracy loving American better be out tomorrow for No Kings protests. I don’t care if you’re dem, republican, indie. If you love our flag, you will stop this madman & his regime. #ProudBlue #OneV1

Guess who was right in the thick of the assault on @padilla.senate.gov? Corey Lewandowski. (He may have been the guy instructing that there's no recording at a press conference and seems to have realized how badly they fucked up.)

TRUTH. “We were told he was going to go after violent criminals. This wasn’t a drug den. It was a Home Depot.” -Mayor Karen Bass

"ThEyRe FlYiNg MeXiCaN FlAgS In ThE StREeTs" Give me a break Police were beat with American flags on January 6th Ohh not to mention the confederate flag being waved in the rotunda

Marine veterans are speaking out against the troop deployment in Los Angeles. Across the country, they’re taking down their American flags that have flown in front of their homes for years. Remember, we have friends everywhere.

If at all possible, we need everyone to show up at a "No Kings" rally on Saturday. Powhatan Democrats will be attending the Charlottesville Virginia march, but this is a nationwide movement. Come to one of these rallies and tell Trump that America has no kings. nokings.org

Drumpf has invoked Title 10 of the U.S.C. 12406. This means the National Guard is now “federalized.” So no, Gov Newsom no longer has a say re CA’s National Guard while Title 10 is invoked. STAY PEACEFUL! STAY SAFE! KNOW YOUR RIGHTS! Brennan Center: tinyurl.com/2wf2ybfe WH: tinyurl.com/2th44hr2

What we’re seeing in L.A. isn’t an insurrection—so why federalize the National Guard? Why the threat of using the U.S. military against civilians? We’re not there yet—but we’re closer than we think. Watch this Project 2025 reminder until the end. Then view everything happening through that lens.

The Los Angeles Police Department has stated that demonstrations in the city have remained peaceful. Let that sink in.

Elon Musk used DOGE to spread wild anti-Social Security conspiracy theories, which led to the gutting of the Social Security Administration’s staff and longer wait times, and briefly listed the SSA headquarters as “for sale.” He will not be missed ❤️

Trump can’t stand to be humiliated. This is what's driving his dictatorial moves. But he will overreach. He already has. And this overreach will ultimately be his undoing. As long as we keep our heads — and engage in peaceful civil disobedience. Be strong. Be safe.

I don’t think people should engage in violence and vandalism and I don’t think federal agents should provoke people to engage in violence and vandalism. Too many law enforcement officers sworn to protect and serve now look and act like they are in Fallujah.

In remembrance of those who stormed the beaches 81 years ago and began the chore of liberating Europe from the evils of nazism. We pledge to ensure that their sacrifice was not made in vain. America carries the dream that someday this world will be free of tyrants.

Jasmine Crockett is running to be Ranking Member on Oversight — and ready for the fight. She’s sharp, qualified, and speaking directly to this moment. Watch her make the case — and check out her take on the seniority issue. It might surprise you. @repjasmine.bsky.social

Here's what our Powhatan VA Primary ballot looks like. You don't have to be a Democrat to vote. Early voting will continue Monday - Saturday until 6/14 at the Tilman Rd. Drive Thru. Election day voting will be at your regular polling site.

We really need everyone to condemn this growing anti-Semitic violence in the US. As VA @senatorhashmi.bsky.social says, "targeted violence against innocents is [an] act of appalling cowardice" and "must not be tolerated or excused" bluevirginia.us/2025/06/mond...

Celebrating Pride Month while recognizing that the struggle goes on. We're always just one Supreme Court decision away from rights being taken away. We continue to be strong allies of our LGBTQ+ community.

God bless the, often mostly middle-aged and elderly, women confronting and shaming and sometimes even stopping ICE atrocities, be it in San Diego or Worcester www.tiktok.com/t/ZTjX7qsNb/

Ukraine could’ve launched the attack on civilian population centers, like Russia does to them daily. Instead, they chose a strictly military target - the very bombers being used to kill Ukrainian civilians. A brilliant operation solely designed to defend their own people.

That’s what someone on ketamine would say

Chris Murphy on Joni Ernst: "I think everybody in that audience knows they're going to die, they would just rather die in old age at 85 or 90 instead of dying at 40. And the reality is that when you lose your healthcare, you are much more at risk of early death."

If we had a functional, non-cowardly media in this country, they're report FACTUALLY that VA05 has a completely insane person as their Congressman. But we don't have a functional, non-cowardly media, so they won't report that. bluevirginia.us/2025/06/sund...

Waking up to Ukraine absolutely shredding Russian military and air force Is amazing Slava Ukrainii
