Worst. Episode. EVER.

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

A quote carved into the halls of the United States Supreme Court

Hey @JDVance, and @elonmusk, and @realDonaldTrump it looks like the Auschwitz Memorial wants to educate you. STOP LYING TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

It really is this simple.

Planes didn't crash when this guy ran things.

That’s the problem. We’ve been standing by for too long.

Elon and his Tech Nazis are accessing your personal data illegally, and there IS something you can do about it. Contact your state's Attorney General, or your Consumer Protection Agency here: www.usa.gov/state-consumer. Fight back.

In troubling times, people experiencing high stress or crippling anxiety deal with it in different ways. Some have a therapist, some have a deep breathing exercise & some even have a personal mantra. I have a Mabel.

Operation ICE Ride-Along isn’t going as planned. 🔥 Fox News tagged along with ICE, hoping for an exclusive look at “dangerous criminals.” Instead, they got a whole lot of nothing. No threats, no big arrests—just a community that wasn’t having it. The narrative is falling apart.

a VERY short story

The most common question I receive is how everyday citizens can help in the fight for democracy. My advice, take the first step, start with something small and see what works for you. Here are ten things all of us can do. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/10-t...

Wow — What a dickhead… GEORGIA Republican Rep. Rich Mccormick says low income kids who qualify for free lunches should just go get jobs:

Not a great sign when Wired says it won't name at least two fo the people Musk has installed to run the Office of Personnel Management because they may be minors www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Hegseth is pathetic. He isn't half the man as Mark Milley. www.foxnews.com/politics/whi...

So Fettermanchin is pro-Jan 6 now?

CARTOON OF THE DAY

Excellent post

Please pay attention to this case being argued in the 4th Circuit tomorrow. It could determine whether the GOP succeeds in stealing a NC Supreme Court seat by disenfranchising 60,000 voters. Follow @democracydocket.com for full coverage of this critical case. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Per NBC's chicago affiliate, ICE says this was not them, that it was Secret Service: www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/s...

This THREAD is it. Please know that those of you who were card-carrying members of “calm down Twitter” need to admit you were wrong. Openly apologize and interrogate your blind spots and arrogance.

So Target got real comfy thinking us millennial moms won’t take our basic girl bits to Costco & Aldi after they cut DEI programs to satisfy the new administration. Big mistake. Huge.

Workplace raids have begun—none of these people were rapists or criminals. Even if you’re not a US citizen, you still have due process in this country. 3 workers in Newark were taken into custody by ICE w/out a warrant. One, a veteran, endured the humiliation of having his military docs questioned.

The difference between CNN and the Titanic is the Titanic went down with all its anchors.

1. NEWS The New York Times reports that President Trump has now also pulled the security details of Mike Pompeo and former Trump Iran Special Envoy Brian Hook.

Drives me crazy. If you don’t want to fight say so. Stop trying to discourage others from doing the work you’re too jaded to do. You try 50 times and win the 51st. That’s how it works. Progress happens when you find ways to make it matter. And sometimes it’s just your persistence.

🗣️ Just an FYI, re: Teamsters voting to authorize a strike at Costco if contract negotiations go south. This is related to Costco's refusal to roll back DEI initiatives, so it's not as clear cut as we think. Teamsters only make up 8% of Costco's workforce and the president spoke at the RNC. 😬

The understatement of the day: "I'm sensing that some liberals are choking over the "normalization" of Trump, and abandoning traditional media outlets altogether out of frustration..." Democracy Docket saw explosive growth yesterday due to legacy media's failure. Talking to others, we aren't alone.

It’s as if the Joker threw open the prison gates of Gotham.

Former Trump Deputy Press Secretary calls the pardons a “disgrace to our country”

Gayle King said: Where are the Black and brown folks? And people on the right are losing their shit. Get used to it, Gayle! They think inviting Black folks is DEI, so—CANCELED!

BREAKING: Trump has ended Secret Service protection for his former National Security Adviser, John Bolton, for being critical of him. Bolton has been under constant threat from Iran, with active plots against him. Make no mistake: Cross Trump, and he’ll devalue your life.

Unbelievably petty! The Spanish language version of the White House website was deleted after the inauguration yesterday. Look what happens when you hit the “go home” button!

Helen Merrill’s 1955 debut w/ Clifford Brown is pure jazz brilliance—soulful vocals, lyrical trumpet, and Quincy Jones’ sharp arrangements. This #AnalogueProductions reissue brings it alive: 180g vinyl, Kevin Gray remaster. #Jazz #CliffordBrown #HelenMerrill #QuincyJones #JazzSky

The moon shot from last night. Keeping things positive today. 😊

I loved and admired this woman. She was one I would follow into battle. A true fighter and ally in every way. God bless you Cecile Richards. Rest in Peace and Power. www.cnn.com/2025/01/20/u...

👇🏽Newsweek’s opinion editor is “extremely confident”

Well, at least I didn't have to wait a few months to pull this out.

NEW: Democracy Docket has crossed 300,000 subscribers. Thanks to all of you we did it! www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBCw...

WATCH: “THAT’S NOT US… we would never ever perform at a Trump rally or give him the rights.” An original member of The Village People says Trump was dancing on stage to “YMCA” (known as a gay anthem) with NOT the original group, because a lawsuit gave an ex-member the rights.

This is the cowardice of The New York Times. Legacy media is failing.
