In the movie, The Day After Tomorrow, there's a scene where survivors stranded in a library are burning every book they can find to stay warm. I was watching the film recently and thought that CONservatives and Repugnicans would have been cheering that scene just to see the books burn.

They will keep trying to suppress votes to hang on to power. www.democracydocket.com/new...

Mike Lindell appears to have a lawyer just as smart as his client. "It's just words" is *not* a defense in an action for speaking [defamatory] words.

NBC News reporter Ryan Nobles noted that House Republicans once spent considerable time complaining that they were unable to read legislation from Democrats and the administration of former President Joe Biden.

As GOP congressional leaders are vowing to move full steam ahead to approve Trump's request to eliminate federal funding for public media for the next two years, a group of 29 Senate Democrats are warning the broadcast outlets should be "protected, not decimated."

Minneapolis… San Diego… Folks are pushing back. This is only going to get worse.

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

It’s on record.

It is also hard to know how receptive a UK audience is to US conservative manias. Much of the UK right dwells in a US-coded online hallucination of Britain where criminal hordes of migrants have turned city centres into no-go areas and liberal thought police harass law-abiding white Christians.
