In case you hadn't noticed:

Beautiful spring day. Warm enough to open windows if only everyone in the neighborhood wasn’t taking turns running lawn equipment.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

I don't think it gets more Second Gilded Age than this.

Samuel Alito does not deserved to be called a “justice.” Nothing he does has any relation to fair and equitable treatment of people, regardless of their class or standing. Call him what he is - a religious zealot intent on imposing theocratic rule.

Insanity. Sheer insanity.

Q: "When you were a Navy pilot, what would have happened to you if you had shared a battle plan with a family member?" Sen. Mark Kelly: "I would have gotten fired. I would probably have been prosecuted...This is the most sensative information we have."

90% of the world: i just want to live 10% of the world: everyone except for me should suffer

A Friendly Reminder….😊💙

Senator Van Hollen went to El Salvador demanding to see Kilmar Abrego Garcia. WHICH HE DID. Now we need to bring him home #FreeKilmar

As Oscar Wilde said about Cabinet secretaries, to lose one top political appointee may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose four looks like carelessness. www.mediaite.com/politics/the...

Wow.

The Last Buffet

There is nothing comforting about “I’m just as scared as you” coming from the legislative branch that’s supposed to keep checks and balances on the executive. While she thought it was relatable, it is actually mortifying.

We shouldn't human traffic guilty people to foreign death camps, either, actually.

Thirty-eight of 43 experts cut last month from the boards that review the science and research that happens in laboratories at the National Institutes of Health are female, Black or Hispanic, according to an analysis by the chairs of a dozen of the boards.

There have been important House votes lost by a single vote while two Dem seats are vacant due to deaths, one at the age of 77 and the other at 70 who ran after a cancer diagnosis. "Too old" is absolutely valid reason enough, in and of itself, to challenge someone. It always has been.

These are not detainments—they are kidnappings. These are not deportations—they are human trafficking. These are not detention centers—they are concentration camps. Language matters. This is fascism.

A reminder that Donold feeds off of fear. He wants everyone to be afraid at all times. He wants you to stop discussing Kilmar Abrego Garcia. He wants you to stop discussing SignalGate. So he sows fear and panic.

I suggest everyone become very, very familiar with this piece by law Professor @david.noll.org. I suspect you will be referring to it often. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/if-t...

Constituents to Chuck Grassley: "Are you bringing back that guy from El Salvador?" Senior Citizen: “If I get an order to pay a ticket to pay $1200 and I just say ‘no’, does that stand up? Because he just got an order from the Supreme Court and he just said ‘screw it’” “I’M PISSED!”

On Social Security Day of Action, our team was back in court to keep DOGE’s hands off of your private social security information. This comes after multiple news reports that indicate DOGE may be violating a federal court order and improperly accessing and sharing information.

"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps. This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped" snyder.substack.com/p/state-terror

When ICE agents descended upon 19-year-old Merwil Guttiérez in New York City, they realized he was not the intended target of their operation — but they arrested the boy anyway. Merwil was, in fact, in the United States legally — from Venezuela, seeking asylum. Merwil’s father, Wilmer Guttiérez,…

Never Forget…..

A lot of people would rather see others harmed than be helped, but I personally wouldn’t build a political movement around it.

The governor of Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro, said he and his family were evacuated from their home early on Sunday after an arson attack that significantly damaged a section of the governor’s residence.

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/all-newsletters

Waiting for our shithole president to say SOMETHING about the attempt to burn down the residence of the Governor of the 5th most populous state with him and his family in it

What the actual FUCK ARE WE DOING??? This is an extermination camp!
