They were seashells. A picture of seashells.

Has James Comey been to Slovenia lately?

I guess this is the best WaPo can muster.🙄 If you want fearless, pro-democracy, news, analysis and opinion, sign-up for Democracy Docket.💪🗳️⚖️ hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

I refuse to get distracted by trivialities like this when new stories are breaking about Biden struggling through a 2023 interview.

Just got word that Secretary Noem is asking for an addition to her budget - a new private Gulfstream 5 jet for her personal national photo op tour. She's already got a private plane but wants a tricked out new one. All while she supports kicking 13 million people off Medicaid.

Trump’s attempted takeover of the LOC may also be a test case to see how susceptible congressional Republicans are to his power grab. If they let him install ideologues throughout the LOC, maybe they’d let him do the same to other indispensable legislative entities.

Congrats to #uncommitted and all the "genocide Joe" Crowd. Ya really stuck the landing. 🤬

"We have a term 'groceries.' It's an old term, but it means basically what you're buying, food, it's a pretty accurate term, but it's an old-fashioned sound, but groceries are down."

I started Democracy Docket in 2020 to be fearlessly independent and unapologetically pro-democracy. The threats have changed since then, but its commitment has not. It will never bow down. It will never compromise. It will never will never obey. Sign-up now to support. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqV0

Here it is. A timetable of 100 days of corruption. Breathtaking. Heartbreaking. We cannot let this stand.

Today's pod: @radiofreetom.bsky.social! On Waltz & Rubio, Herr Miller's dictate to students, Pam Bondi saving the lives of 3 in 4 America's, the Russian Cabinet Meeting and more! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social: "This does seem like a moment where you would think people who really do care about our national security...would be out here decrying what is going on...Mattis, Milley, anybody...Where is everybody?"

I’d say that Kennedy Jr.—whose deranged conspiracy theories are now likely to cost America a new COVID-19 booster this fall—won’t be happy until his narcissism costs tens of thousands their lives, but the truth is he won’t be happy then, either. He’s a miserable man engaged in miserable misconduct.

Drawings from 6 months ago that I forgot to share 🍊🥥

As a result of a massive Russian drone attack on Odesa, the workshop of an Odesa-based women's clothing brand with clothes, equipment, and materials inside was completely destroyed.

happy may day here is a painting I did a long time ago

May Day is not officially acknowledged in the U.S. because of what historians say is an ongoing resistance to unity among the working class. This resistance is prompting protesters to take action on Thursday, regardless.

The Lincoln Project just decimated Elon Musk with one ad...

"It was the worst type of magical thinking to imagine Trump would have any serious constraints in a second term ... If his voters believed he wouldn’t be stupid and malevolent enough to obliterate the economy for no good reason, they simply didn’t pay attention to his first term or 2024 campaign."

He’s probably got a tee time.. The fucking scumbag ..

This man is the leader of the free world.

Here I react to the shameful behavior of American leaders and media toward the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share. snyder.substack.com/p/five-failu...

Bezos announced WaPo opinions will “be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets.” There are deep problems with such an approach. Here I propose to the WaPo an oped about just what it would mean to support freedom snyder.substack.com/p/positive-f...

The attempted mugging of a visiting president was about the world war that Musk, Trump, and Vance have chosen. If we attend to what Vance and Trump said yesterday, we can work our way to the unreason of American policy, and to the chaos that will follow. snyder.substack.com/p/the-war-tr...

Gov. Mills: I’ll comply with the state and federal laws Trump: We are the federal law. You better do it because you’re not going to get any federal funds. Gov Mills: See you in court

The story of a Trump-voting fired IRS worker "is truly a Leopard Face-Eating situation where he is shocked that his life got destroyed and he thinks that it must be some mistake or oversight. How are we supposed to react to that?" Today's Triad from @jvl.bsky.social:

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

When we were working on this story, I spoke with a Justice Department lawyer who had been pushed out by Trump. I was told that this civil rights discrimination case DOJ had filed against SpaceX was likely going to be dismissed. Now that's happening.

Americans proposed that Ukraine concede half of the profits from its mineral rights in perpetuity... in exchange for essentially nothing. This is not a monetary proposition, let alone a "deal," but rather the demand that Ukraine become a permanent American colony. snyder.substack.com/p/recoup-the...
