"Even by the standards of this administration, the pursuit of Cassidy Hutchinson may be its nastiest and most repulsive move yet. . . The hounding of Hutchinson has an outsize moral dimension that lays bare the rot at the heart of the administration."

In his second term, President Trump has seldom let a day go by without repeating lies about election results or casting doubt on the U.S. voting system. Here’s a fact-check.
Obama: "Republicans are doing what they always do, running all kinds of scary ads about Democrats and how the woke police will arrest you and force-feed you tofu. We are not gonna fall for that. They run that same okie doke every election. It's tired. Tired!"
This is not how American democracy should function. It’s getting worse every election, not better. I know constitutional amendments are difficult, but it seems like there should be a bipartisan supermajority of citizens who say enough with this stuff.
MAGA made a 180-degree turn against everything they believe to keep supporting this orange shit-stain. Their "Save the Children," "Less Government," and "Russia is our enemy" talking points went right out the window to support a dying pedo.
At this rate, they'll surrender all of their guns soon.🙄
Anyone using Starlink or driving a Tesla should really rethink those things. Elon Musk is a fucking white nationalist Nazi. He doesn't deserve to be the world's wealthiest man.
Hit these fuck puddles where it hurts them the most: Their bank accounts. That's the only way they measure their worth.
Yes. Felon 47 will keep on paying Russia for as long as it takes to save his own fucked ass and the rest of the Epstein Class from the reckoning they are all due. For the sake of democracy and justice, make them all accountable.
Vote 💙
Zelenskyy might be saving our democracy. The mad genius is bombing Russian data centers linked to FAKE NEWS bot farms. Without them, Putin’s midterm influence will accidentally fall from a 30th floor window.
I 💙 Ukraine 🇺🇦
A man accused of posing ICE agent to intimidate voters has been arrested. Danilo Alves Silva, 46, was taken into custody after detectives saw him aggressively pacing between buildings at the polling site. bit.ly/4ARozoj
Ossoff: The money that they took from you when they slashed Medicaid and defunded hospitals and nursing homes—They’re taking that money to buy corrupt, taxpayer-funded political ads on national television to try to promote the failed and broken president…
Trump’s mail voting restrictions would have disenfranchised thousands if the Supreme Court had allowed them.
But Trump’s plan to restrict mail voting was supposed to be even more prohibitive, with the help of two election conspiracists inside the White House.
More from this shocking report:
🚨BREAKING: California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) signed a sweeping package of election laws Saturday, including a measure making it a felony to seize ballots, election records or voting technology before an election is certified. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Absolutely insane that Pete Hegseth has put a bunch of right-wing social media influencer nuts on the Pentagon payroll to push his personal propaganda. It’s the equivalent of Pam Bondi hiring the Epstein Binder misfits to work at DOJ - even she didn’t do that, bad as she was.
Trump says the U.S. is "losing $62 billion" to Canada.
@crampell.bsky.social explains why that's not how trade deficits work and why Trump's own logic is asking Canada to cut the U.S. off from oil.
"Governments defending prices against fundamentals always lose. The only variable is how much they spend before conceding."

"He has nothing. It was basically, 'Please pass the SAVE Act,' which Republicans have said they're not going to pass…because there's a whole bunch of stuff in the SAVE Act that is bananas."
@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social and @sonnybunch.bsky.social react to Trump's crazy speech.
No surprises there…
One fucking useless asshole asks more fucking useless assholes to do his bidding and all they discovered is that they are all stupid fucking assholes
The suggestion that a single fiscal measurement can determine whether a country is a good ally, or whether NATO is becoming stronger, substitutes accounting for strategy.
After this Iran deal fiasco, are Republicans still going to claim that the addled dementia patient in the WH is some kind of master deal maker / tough guy / brilliant strategist?
I suppose when you are this far into the con most of them have to ride it out to the end.
"The Framers didn't intend for us to just sit back and say, 'Well we just have to wait out a criminal president who's acting continually in derogation of his duties, undermining the country and running it for his own ego and benefit.'"
Felon 47 has no honor or respect for due process and the peaceful transfer of power.
He has always been a danger to democracy and will continue to be so until he is dead.
Maybe.
Babies who don’t get the vitamin K shot are 81 times more likely to develop severe bleeding.
In many cases, oxygen can’t reach their brains and blood pools around their skulls.
Yet driven by misinformation, more parents are refusing the injection.
Trump: "We took our three destroyers and we rammed them through some pretty big stuff today and we knocked the hell out of them. The destroyers weren't hurt in any way, the people weren't hurt. But they were firing at us and we were firing back at them."
Another in a series of late nights.
I am doing everything I can to spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. You can help me by subscribing to Democracy Docket for free and sharing its content with everyone you know. Thanks. bit.ly/4qmEiFz
Q: "For the ballroom at the White House, why should taxpayers now be on the hook for a billion dollars for that project?"
Trump: "That's not all for the ballroom."
Q: "Can you talk about your meeting with President Lula earlier?"
Trump: "Ya, I will talk about it, but, you know, you have some of these construction workers that I love — I love them because they all voted for me."
Felon 47, the conman and shyster who hijacked a political party and used its worst impulses to gain power and grift, lie and steal his way to enormous wealth.
At our expense.
No surprises here…
Felon 47’s DoJ doesn’t want justice for the victims of J6 crimes, it wants retribution and humiliation for anyone who has spoken truth to the imPOTUS.
May infamy rain down upon the mealy-mouthed sycophants who do his bidding
NEWS: Trump is trying to shut down the January 6 lawsuits just as a judge sets a court date for James Comey in a case many believe is doomed—showing forward movement in one case and a desperate attempt to block the truth in another.
He doesn’t want discovery because that’s where evidence comes out.
The most morally corrupt and repulsively racist are led by Felon 47 and deeply offended by anyone who looks, thinks or acts differently to them.
The thin veneer of tolerance and acceptance has worn away.
We all have a responsibility to help right the wrongs when this ‘thing’ is over
"Why would the Trump administration try to make it harder for families to care for their disabled children? Because they are disgusted by their existence. They want to go back to a world in which such people are sent away."
In the 24 hours since the Supreme Court's majority ruled to demolish the Voting Rights Act's remaining protections, Louisiana and Tennessee have already signaled that they'll redraw their congressional maps with the clear effect of shutting Black voters out.
It’s kinda surreal to watch all those who celebrated the J6 insurrection, cheered the pardons of all the violent offenders, now lamenting the state of political violence in America.
