After the disturbing news this morning about the Washington Post's opinion section, Democracy Docket sent out the following. If you want to support its commitment to pro-democracy news, information, opinion and analysis, become a member today. www.democracydocket.com/member-me/

Billionaire owner of Washington Post seizes control of opinion page. Will focus nearly exclusively to promote rightwing libertarianism. "Viewpoints opposing those pillars will be left to be published by others." Democracy Docket will expand its pro-democracy opinion section. www.democracydocket.com

This book shouldn't be banned 😂

Charles R. Drew (1904-1950) was a pioneering African American surgeon and medical researcher. He revolutionized blood storage and transfusion, developing blood banks. Despite his life-saving work, he faced racial discrimination, including segregation policies in blood donations. #BlackHistory

What a surprise. MAGA has been screaming for the Epstein client list for years and, FOR SOME REASON, Donald Trump’s DOJ doesn’t want to release it. They might need to do a redaction first.

This is how a federal judge says "did I stutter?"

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

Not great: “They are greatly diminishing CDC and the country's ability to respond to emerging infectious threats." Let’s all hope that bird flu doesn’t get any worse 🤞🏽 www.npr.org/sections/sho...

Keep up the great work!

How’s this WSJ take aging

Posted by @acnewsitics.bsky.social on another platform: “Why is Pam Bondi taking so long to release the Epstein files? What is she hiding?”

Another plane incident in DC: An American Airlines flight from Boston had to abort its landing at DCA airport this morning to avoid another plane that was taking off on the same runway, authorities said.

Stop giving your attention and money to the mainstream media and start supporting alternatives like: Democracy Docket The Contrarian Meidas Touch Please put other alternatives you like in the comments. Let’s build a great list of resources we can trust.

I will never get used to the bizarre language used in or the idea of official actions announced by a president on a social media platform he owns (and financially benefits from).

US government, which self-describes itself as "deeply in debt" to justify staffing cuts across agencies, is also supporting the House budget blueprint, which would increase the deficit by more than $2.8 trillion thanks to a massive tax cut for the nation's wealthiest. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Of course it is true that MAGA cult doesn’t care that their news sources are lying to them about No Tax on Tips passing. Because truth is largely irrelevant when there are libs to be owned and an Orange God who needs worshipping.

Donald Trump's tax breaks for billionaires and billionaire corporations are NOT "cost free". The real cost will be health care cuts for: - New moms and their babies - Grandma in the nursing home - Kids with disabilities Threatening your health care for billionaire handouts.

Arizona AG Kris Mayes, New Mexico AG Raul Torrez, and Oregon AG Dan Rayfield will begin holding Community Impact Hearings — a national series of townhalls "to hear from the public about the impact of federal firings and DOGE funding freezes across the country." The first will be in Phoenix March 5.

Everything that we warned the American public about regarding RFK Jr. is already happening. An excerpt from an OpEd that @jimalwine.bsky.social and I published. We wrote about about what happened in Samoa with the measles outbreak there and said, simply: “The same will happen here”.

Some sound advice:

Leavitt still can't provide a straight answer as to who the DOGE administrator is

Stringent electrification rules for heavy-duty fleets are teetering, hampering efforts to clean up one of the US economy's dirtiest sectors

The RNC chair says it again -- the only function of the RNC is voter suppression and election subversion. It is time to take him literally and seriously. Sign-up to Democracy Docket to stay informed. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...

Pass it on

Just going to leave this here should it become useful to anyone…

36 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall and unification of Germany, the spirit of homo sovieticus is alive in the former DDR... it just got transformed into Neo-fascism. And yes, we are aware that this is a simplification of the German problems, but there is no way unsee this corelation.

Maybe this wasn't the best moment to devastate global aid. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

URGENT: The House is set to vote tomorrow on whether to advance $880 billion in cuts to Medicaid — eviscerating essential programs that provide lifesaving services for people with disabilities, children, seniors, and more. Tell your representative now: Don't cut Medicaid.

this week's cover is on point ht: @jamiegangel.bsky.social

A set of countries hates us; another is bewildered/dismayed/horrified; a third group is laughing at us; and the last group is working the angles to fleece us by flattering the weak-minded senile dope who occasionally shows up at the White House to sign stuff. NOBODY respects us.

uh oh a DOGE fan's chatbot has gone rogue
