The Center for American progress estimates that in Scott Perry's District 10, 31,600 would lose health insurance and an additional 100 would die each year. All for tax cuts for billionaires.

“Stop the Steal” supporter, Ed Martin, was in the mob outside of the Capitol on 1/6. If he doesn’t like your point of view, he threatens to investigate you. He praises white supremacists who support neo-Nazi ideologies. Tell your Senator to vote NO on Ed Martin’s nomination for US Attorney in DC.

While it is understandable to focus attention on Trump’s attacks on democracy and the rule of law, it is the Republican Congress enabling his authoritarianism. Ignoring their complicity in Trump’s actions is a mistake—both legally and strategically.

NEW: In a double win for Pennsylvania voters, one judge dismisses a far-right challenge seeking to purge over 277k voters from the rolls, and the 3rd Circuit rejects a GOP bid to reject ballots for minor errors. From: @mattdcohen.bsky.social

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

This heartbreaking piece really highlights what is going on here. In the name of religious freedom, some justices are basically insisting on some right to treat LGBTQ folks badly and even a right to ban from schools books that are accepting of them.

Exactly. They’ve talked about making Social Security crypto based, which would allow the money to simply vanish and magically find its way into Musk’s and Trump’s and other oligarchs’ wallets.

This and spewing bullshit about measles and whooping cough vaccines, while trying to bribe people to have $5K “bonus” babies! (Though I’m guessing only certain people.) What’s that Sister Joan Chittister quote about “wanting babies born, but not fed…”?

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia. I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.

Republicans’ SAVE Act would further suppress the vote. It’s already illegal for non-citizens to vote. This would disenfranchise millions—married women + trans folks who changed their name, service members, people with disabilities. We don't need more barriers to the ballot box.

The greatest threat to Donald Trump’s authoritarian dream is not the courts — it is free and fair elections. While the courts can stand in the way of his twisted vision for America, they can never completely halt it. Trump knows this. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...
