Trump has signed an order banning travel to the US from 12 countries, including 7 African countries (Chad, the Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Libya, Somalia, Sudan), and Haiti, and restricting people from Burundi, Sierra Leone, and Togo. But white South Africans, come right in.

Women who miscarry in West Virginia should be prepared to face potential criminal charges, a county prosecutor warned

My latest: Jasmine Crockett is clear choice to lead Oversight Dems I told you I wouldn’t pick sides in this race because I don’t have a vote. Then I realized it’s up to all of us to make sure our party gets this one right. 3,421 words. Please consider reading and passing this along!

Don't spend one minute feeling sorry for the law firms that capitulated. They prioritized their own profits over the rule of law, decency and democracy. They deserve the ridicule and scorn they are now receiving. History will remember them for the cowards they are.

The Trump administration is working with private companies like Palantir to create detailed reports on every American, which could help them weaponize our personal information in their quest to deport immigrants and punish critics. This is a huge threat to our constitutional rights.

Musk may (or may not) be leaving Trump regime, but we do know the 32 federal investigations into Musk's companies that were all started before Trump came to office, are paused, dismissed or simply disappeared. Re-sharing my article on this: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/did-trump-...

We’re watching transparency erode as law enforcement begins to resemble secret police more than public servants. This piece unpacks how we got here, and why it should alarm us all.

A video leak of Glenn Greenwald dressed as a schoolgirl licking a Brazilian male prostitute’s foot wasn’t on my 2025 bingo card.

You have your assignment. 😉

One passed laws for your kids. The other passed his hat for your cash.

Spare me the fake outrage. None of these people showing up for court are criminals of any kind. As a prosecutor, I worked with many ICE officers who arrested violent criminals. None of them wore masks. Many of your agents are clearly ashamed to carry out your orders.

A nonexistent secret. We all already knew…

Jake Tapper can go suck eggs.

Trump on Joe Biden, who recently announced a cancer diagnosis: "If you feel sorry for him, don't feel so sorry, because he's vicious ... I really don't feel sorry for him."

The new GOP slogan (thank you, Joni Ernst.)

I know I’m late to this but **fun***

This is monstrous.

JONI ERNST: When you are arguing about illegals that are receiving Medicaid benefits, they are not eligible CROWD: People will die! ERNST: Well, we all are going to die

Phang: I fell out of my chair laughing my ass off—this idea that Donald Trump has suffered some kind of emotional distress because of the editing from 60 Minutes, which wasn’t even deceptive. We know you live in a state of emotional torture, Donald Trump—because: you’re the taco toddler.

Holy shit. This is what Joni Ernst had to say to a scared Iowan telling her that her attacks on Medicaid and food stamps are going to hurt people.

“Do you know what it’s like to be targeted by the President of the United States.” - Ruby Freeman *First they came for….

GOP Sen. Joni Ernst responds to voters saying that cutting Medicaid will kill them: “Well, we all are going to die.”

currency of the realm in republican politics is a blithe contempt for life and indifference to suffering

Classic example of what we in the field of journalism call “totally making up some ludicrous bullshit out of thin air and getting a bunch of idiots to believe it”

There's nothing holy about writing discrimination into the law.

I’ll say this and then I’m gonna step back b/c 2026 IS THE ONLY NATIONAL ELECTION THAT’S IMPORTANT NOW. No Dem presidential candidate wins w/o high Black turnout & vote. So stop making it like Black voters are expendable or that you can serve up any candidate chosen by Pelosi, Clooney or MSM & win.

EXCLUSIVE: Jamie Raskin just exposed Trump’s plans to launch a fund for the “victims” of January 6 - but he means the violent thugs who attacked our Capitol. “That fund should go to the 140 officers and their families who were wounded.” Trump is rewarding traitors. This is SICK.

I have endured his scurrilous attacks for years. He has sued me for racketeering — and lost. He has unleashed his right-wing army of online trolls. Since his reelection, he has threatened me, defamed me and singled me out by name in two executive orders. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-t...
