This is well stated. Mike Lee will forever be associated in my mind with his unbelievably cruel and stupid tweets about the Hortman assassination. He is a disgrace to the Senate and Utah.

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...

The same applies to Canada.

We, the people, have spoken!

Just want to take a moment to shout out the international reporters helping us get the real story out. When an 80-year-old veteran with a walker is hauled off with his hands zip-tied behind his back, and the media spins it as a “threatening breach” of a police barricade

KHANNA: Can you assure the American people you will respect the SCOTUS decision on this matter about whether the Marines are constitutional & you will respect the district courts? HEGSETH: What I can say is we shouldn't have local judges determining foreign policy or natl security for the country

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

Schiff: "One thing that got lost in the horrendous treatment of Alex Padilla today was what Kristi Noem said at that press conference in saying it was necessary to have these troops there to 'liberate the city from the socialists' ... the fact they would use the military that was is unconscionable."

The Senate bill aims to effectively end all civil rights lawsuits against the federal government except by entities rich enough to potentially pay million/billions in fees. I am not making this up.

Funded by your tax dollars.

On 6/12, DHS Sec’y Kristi Noem said “We are staying here to liberate [LA] from the socialists and the burdensome leadership this governor and mayor have placed on this country and this city.” This use of military force to displace a democratically elected is the very definition of a coup.

Who else nearly fell out of the seat when you heard Cosplay Kristi accuse Sen. Padilla of “political theater”?

If you can't yet see the 1933 Germany parallels, you either skipped out on history, or you're disturbingly comfortable repeating it.

Mainstream media snubs massive anti-Trump protests like 'Hands Off' and 'No Kings,' while Trump and Musk bulldoze democracy. Fear of right-wing backlash mutes the press. Silence stifles change; voices in the streets must roar louder. #3E

Sen. Alex Padilla was forcibly removed in handcuffs from a press conference in Los Angeles Thursday after attempting to ask Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem questions. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

You can use the words FASCISM and FASCIST, folks. The water is warm here.

🚨BREAKING: A senior official in DHS held a briefing for a far-right anti-voting group on Thursday, according to an email sent by the group. The virtual meeting was to discuss how a database run by the department can be used to verify the citizenship status of registered voters.

Pam Bondi doesn't answer questions about what the legal threshold is for the administration invoking the Insurrection Act

Investigations are now underway into officers and ICE agents who fired crowd-control munitions at dangerously close range. In case after case, the situation only escalated when force was used against peaceful protesters.

They’re doing jobs Americans refuse to do and they’re being hunted ….
