“It may not be as blatant as destroying ballots. Intimidation and other tactics can have a big impact. But it is remarkable that these tactics don’t seem to affect precincts with low D-party numbers, only those with heavy D representation.”

Three Republican justices on the North Carolina Supreme Court made it very clear tonight that they intend to steal a seat on their court for a Republican candidate who lost by 734 votes. Their opinions are pure Stop the Steal insanity. The 4th Circuit needs to intervene immediately. rb.gy/nqceab

15 years of Citizens United have shown us that money corrupts politics. We are going to have to take back our democracy from the forces of greed! #StopTheOligarchy

Wow — Speaker Sexton now requiring tickets for ALL access to the gallery at the TN House, claiming it “ensures access for all”🤔 Expelling legislators… filling a roped off rotunda with troopers… keeping us out of pressers… requiring tickets… Watch Authoritarianism work.

I love all of my friends, whoever you are, and however you are!

STATEMENT — @TNDemocrats chair @jrclemmons.bsky.social on the shooting inside Antioch High today:

Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde is the Christian that Franklin Graham failed to be.

I’m going to ask about grocery and gas prices everyday and so should you.

Trump's nominees are positioned for one purpose: protect Donald Trump... not America. Now is not the time to tune these dangerous picks out. Call your Senator today and tell them NO on Pete Hegseth and Pam Bondi 202-224-3121

Never had as many govt leakers reach out as I have today. Not even close

Raskin: The chairman began by saying the point here is to restore the rule of law. Can you even pretend to do that if you support Trump who on day one pardoned 1,500 insurrectionists including hundreds of people who violently assaulted police officers…

And apparently, they never will.

Elon Musk biographer here. The "missing context" from the op-ed below is that Musk has been spreading racist and antisemitic memes, screenshots, graphs, charts, unsourced narratives, tropes, and buzzwords for 18 months now. Publicly. Daily. The Post either knows this or should not be in business.

NEW: The legal fights against Donald Trump's executive orders has begun and Skye Perryman, president and CEO of @democracyforward.bsky.social is leading the charge! I discuss with her the landscape and the road ahead. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQJQ...

They will go after Wikipedia. They will go after libraries. They will go after school boards and public extracurricular activities that are anything but sports. They will go after archives. Because knowledge, education, culture, and progressives are all the enemy. Thinking is the enemy.

Can we get a big round of applause for Bishop Mariann Budde? #BishopBudde

I will focus on what I can do to help in Missouri. I know my power is limited at the federal level, but I can help stop federal mandates by gathering groups and opposing my state lawmakers implementing those mandates. This is our power. It’s local. Focus there. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

Happy Wednesday friends 👋 If you want to meet blue friends drop a 💙 Have a great day!

Pete Hegseth, Trump’s choice to run the military: “I have a bad memory. Do I not have a bad memory, babe? It’s pretty bad. Yeah.”

This is how you know he’s never actually listened to any sermon in any actual church

Trump is already trying to transform this country from a nation of laws into an authoritarian regime. Join me tonight for an exclusive live event to discuss Trump's second presidency and what we can do to fight back. Don't miss it! Become a member to RSVP. www.democracydocket.com/member-me/

Making a ridiculous post about tariffs on Truth Social was his secret plan to end the war in 24 hours? What a ridiculous clown show. Idiocracy.

Gotta love the British press.

These emails, sent across agencies, compel all federal employees to snitch on any colleague whose work might have some vague DEIA inflection. Those who refuse to snitch will be disciplined. Seems designed to put all workers who aren’t white men under a cloud of suspicion. Truly vile stuff.

Emergency video! In this i discuss the pardons of criminals, and much more! adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/emergency-...

This is an excellent, in-depth article on what leaving the Paris Climate agreement means for the US by @borenbears.bsky.social One conclusion: "Several experts say the US will lose out on a trillion dollar plus renewable energy boom, leaving other countries like China to rule the green economy."

Curious what everyone thinks is the best way to have a positive or any impact on the country, during the first 30 days of the new administration.

Trumpers fully support his decision to pardon insurrectionists — just don’t get into the details

The Brown Shirts

If you want to read a new book coming out but don't want to buy it, a great thing you can do is ask your local library to order it. The more requests they get, the more likely they are to acquire it and then lots of people will get to read it who othewise wouldn't.

desperately want to know what gabbard was talking to assad about for three hours

This guy won the popular vote. That’s why I say America deserves everything we get.

OMG WTAF

If she can do it, we can all do it.

Band name: “Dork side of the moon” “Ctrl Alt Delinquents” “The Geekend Warriors” “Wi-Fight the system”

16 of the 26 Day One executive orders signed by Trump were ripped straight from the pages of Project 2025. Russ Vought, an architect of Project 2025, testifies before the Senate today as Trump's OMB nominee. Project 2025 was always the MAGA agenda.

Each time I have sat down to write something since the election, I am bothered by this recurring phrase that I simply cannot get out of my head. So, this time I am going to just say it out loud: we are on our own. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-a...

watching the scene in LINCOLN where lincoln expounds on the legal and constitutional reasons for wanting the 13th amendment — going to show it in class tomorrow — and i’m tempted to just watch the whole movie again. it rocks

CARTOON OF THE DAY

And there it is. One of Trump’s billionaire allies Jamie Dimon just admitted that Trump’s tariffs are going to raise prices and Americans should just “get over it.”

Sending thank you notes to Rev. Budde….some addresses and pretty postcards
