For weeks I have been arguing that the law firms that capitulated to Trump were not only immoral but made a bad business decision. Looks like I was right. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

@jamestalarico.bsky.social: "The Christians in Congress should be feeding the hungry, but they're cutting food stamps. They should be healing the sick, but they are cutting Medicaid. They should be standing up to the billionaire class, but instead they're cutting their taxes."

A month ago I wrote that some clients might not want to hire law firms that are too afraid to stand up for themselves against Donald Trump. Looks like I was right. Get my exclusive content by becoming a Democracy Docket premium member now. newsletters.democracydocket.com/member-meblu...

Communities aren’t staying silent about ICE… 18-year-old Massachusetts high school student Marcelo Gomes was taken by ICE on his way to volleyball practice Saturday morning. No word on where he’s being held. Marcelo missed graduation today, so Milford HS graduates marched to rally in solidarity.

A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security with 100% of their income. A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security with less than 1% of their income. Does that sound fair to you?

So, according to QAnon and Trump, Biden died in 2020, was replaced by a body double, but the one they picked to replace him was weak and infirm, and somehow Jake Tapper didn’t notice anything. Got it.

Now that Trump has blasted Leonard Leo, don't let the right wing sanitize the Federalist Society. Its members have been supporting voter suppression for years, its judges are among the hardest on voters. What will come from Trump now will be far worse, but do not judge democracy on a curve.

Chris Murphy on Joni Ernst: "I think everybody in that audience knows they're going to die, they would just rather die in old age at 85 or 90 instead of dying at 40. And the reality is that when you lose your healthcare, you are much more at risk of early death."

SC has some of the strictest Medicaid rules in the country. We refused to expand care, and now Republicans want to cut what little we have left. I’m running to protect our families – not make their lives harder. My op-ed in @chascitypaper.bsky.social ⬇️ charlestoncitypaper.com/2025/06/01/j...

WHAT! If Sen. Ernst truly said essentially.., Embrace God so as not to worry about health insurance… I double down on my suggestion for her to not only give up her health Insurance but also her Car, homeowners and life insurance. I guess that would show what a true believer she is. Crazy time.

Japan holds the highest amount of US debt of over $1.13 Trillion. Japan has now acquired US Steel. Didn't the US embargo Japan's steel industry in WW2? 2 atomic bombs later, they now have acquired US Steel and they own Treasury bonds that they can dump and crash our economy? Got it!

Federal officers entered Rep. Jerry Nadler’s office in Lower Manhattan on Wednesday and handcuffed and briefly detained one of his aides. The confrontation happened shortly after the aide observed federal agents detaining migrants in a public hallway outside an immigration courtroom.

Not @repjasmine.bsky.social truth-telling on Republican Rep. Mike Flood 🔥 “Especially with your homeboy talking about, he didn’t know what was in the bill. That was absolutely in the judiciary markup that came out. So I knew about it and we fought about it, but OK, whatever.”
