Sovereignty beating Journalism on World Press Freedom Day is a little much.

@FT: "About 44 per cent of Washington’s full-service casual dining spots say they are likely to close this year, partly because of the economic effects of federal lay-offs, according to the Restaurant Association of Metropolitan Washington."

April 28, 2025: Migrants are making SOS signs out of their bodies so drones can see them at our country's concentration camps.

Remember November 2026!

The Senate on Wednesday rejected an effort to undo President Trump’s sweeping tariffs on most U.S. trading partners, even as a small group of Republicans joined Democrats in delivering a rebuke to a trade policy that many lawmakers fear is causing economic harm.

With all the talk of product shortages , I think it should be said that products will first find their way to densely populated areas first and everywhere else, last This certainly will hurt all those red counties. How they react to their shelves being everything will define the midterms

Ha! I absolutely LOVE this!!!

I once flew the spine of Alaska at 1,500 feet. The silence, the mountains, the weight of service — it all reminded me why I still fight for this country. And why you should too. My latest Substack: Above the Spine adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/above-the-...

Senator Tammy Baldwin's @baldwin.senate.gov statement on the arrest of Judge Dugan (posted elsewhere):

Don’t let the arrest of a Federal Judge distract you from the announcement that ICE can enter anyone’s home without a warrant to look for migrants.

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

At the annual White House Easter Egg Roll on Monday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth lashed out at reporters over coverage of him sharing war plans in a second Signal chat that included members of his family and his personal lawyer. Read more: nyti.ms/3GiswuB

It still won’t stop his worst impulses! And the GOP complicity rages on!

This is exactly what I’m afraid of!

This is the kind of thing that, if true, leads to life sentences for treason

January 6 rioters had to pay restitution for attacking our democracy.Trump’s DOJ wants to REFUND them.Another moment when loyalty to lawlessness was chosen over loyalty to country. youtube.com/shorts/puKkO...

If you're a reporter in a White House press briefing as the spokesperson for the government asserts flatly that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a member of the MS-13 gang who's guilty of human trafficking and you sit there silently without shouting out "PROVE IT!" I'd like to invite you to go fuck yourself.

I’M GOING TO KEEP POSTING THIS STORY UNTIL ANDRY IS FREED: Gay Venezuelan makeup artist sent to Salvadoran prison after a disgraced cop's report Andry Hernandez Romero sought shelter in the U.S. because he was persecuted as a gay man, one of the "particular social groups" allowed to claim asylum.

Space adventure and exploration should be for the benefit of all humankind, not the whimsy of a few.

There are nut cases of all descriptions, but anyone who doesn’t think it’s Trump who has enabled political violence by all of them is a fool.

The day after Russia carried out its deadliest civilian attack on Ukraine this year, Trump decided to repeat fake news to the press.

Greetings from Hollywood, Florida!

Greetings from Florida!

Thousands show up in Florida to make good trouble!

He’s tanking the economy, destroying our standing in the world, depriving women and LGBTQ communities of their fundamental rights, attacking the environment, disappearing legal immigrants, gutting Veteran’s benefits and Social Security. And he’s making you pay for his golf trips while he’s at it.

Last year Trump had dinner with antisemite Kanye West and neonazi Nick Fuentes Then questioned whether Schumer is actually Jewish Recently Steve Bannon also gave a Nazi salute And Elise Stefanik endorsed a candidate who praised Hitler For Republicans antisemitism isn’t a bug It’s a feature

It's a miracle that no one has been killed as a result of this administration's recklessness with our national security. We need accountability and responsibility. Urgently.

JD Vance on Fox & Friends on his message to Americans who can't afford tariffs: "We are fighting very hard to bring prices down ... it's not going to happen immediately." Up is down!

This was….five months ago

We put tariffs on an uninhabited island full of penguins but not Russia. Very normal administration we have here.

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory. Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

BREAKING: Stellantis NV, the maker of RAM Jeeps, will be temporarily laying off more than 900 employees today because of Donald Trump's tariffs.

I find it outrageous as well.

March saw the third-highest number of layoffs in U.S. history, and 80% of them were caused by DOGE This was before the tariffs It's just...unbelievable
