I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

How’s Kash tonight?

"Everybody is just struggling right now." I had a great conversation with this Republican voter in Loudonville, Ohio.

"Sorry, my product randomly breaks the law sometimes" is not something we would tolerate from other industries. Maybe we shouldn't tolerate it with AI

so insane Amazing how the debt is never a concern when it comes to bombing people in other countries— only when it comes to helping people in our own

As! Per! My! Previous! Email! 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

Remember when the media rightly called Michael Cohen "Trump's fixer"? Todd Blanche is the new Michael Cohen, no more, no less. And the thought of either of those henchmen being made attorney general should be terrifying to you. Call your senators today.

Trump bombed schoolchildren on the first day of the war, Pete.

One thing is for sure in November: we are going to have an election. “Donald Trump does not have the authority to cancel elections,” @marcelias.bsky.social says. “That said, there are a lot of things he can do that will make it harder for people to vote.” Help us fight back: https://bit.ly/4qskS3m

Democrats need to stop bowing their heads in shame every time some Republican points a bony, accusatory finger their way. Dems essentially made Hillary sit in the corner for a week after she used the horrifying term "basket of deplorables." Stop it!

What are the possible consequences if we slow or stop the development of data centers in the U.S.?

Gov. @GavinNewsom: “New York Times. 4 subpoenas against journalists because he didn’t like the reporting on his Qatari airplane… the Trump story is a corruption story. Period. The greatest grift we’ve ever seen in 🇺🇸 history. That’s what we’re up against.”

BOOM!!

How strange that when it comes to the 14th "the Senate could not have forseen anchor babies." but when it comes to the 2nd they don't say "the founder could not have forseen automatic weapons"

Just what we need to fight tyranny!

Air Force Major Jason Watson, 20-year active duty veteran, wore his uniform to the Capitol steps July 1 holding a sign reading "Impeach Convict Remove." He was arrested. His defense fund raised $139,000. Watson: "The greatest threat to our Democratic Republic is not a foreign one. It is domestic."

Never thought I’d be so grateful for words from someone out of the American Enterprise Institute, but I am. Listen to Norm Ornstein talk about the real dangers just ahead and the need for the Dems to fight back NOW, using EVERY legislative, administrative and investigative tool at their disposal.

Oh hey, @nicollewallace.bsky.social is going to interview Jack Smith today on @deadlinewh.bsky.social

It’s important to understand that the Court is now just an arm of the oligarchy. This decision strips the people of the right to limit the role of money in politics. It gives billionaires special rights to buy our elections. A precondition of oligarchy.

BREAKING: Trump’s rule change for the Office of Management and Budget will not only require agencies to ensure grants advance the president’s priorities, it will also kill up to 5,000 clinical trials — including 1,000 cancer treatment studies fight2win.standupforscience.net @standupforscience.net

"Speaker Johnson, you’re obsessing about losing the House but don’t seem to realize it’s because you have no program for the country other than illegal disastrous tariffs, illegal disastrous war and humiliating invertebrate submission to your unraveling cult master." - Rep. Jamie Raskin

If you’re as horrified by the fascist regime’s attack on the rights of Haitian immigrants as I am, here’s one way to help. Demand your Senators vote for a bill extending their Temporary Protected Status at this link. The bill already passed the House (with 10 Republicans voting for it)!

Russell Vought is an evil man. This plan is nothing short of a personal take-over of federal grant making. It will affect ALL of us. Political commissars will now be in charge of all agencies, reporting to him. But we are not powerless. See what you can do below. 1/ www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Expanding the Supreme Court isn't a "radical" position—it's the only rational response to a radical institution.

At a loss, huh? There is a lawsuit in Georgia alleging that DHS paid nearly five times the assessed value of a piece of property there. Seems like an investigation into those deals might help us figure out what was going on.

Our job is to make sure he can't get away with it. We do that by organizing now, humiliating him electorally in November, and protecting that result from his schemes.

Most politicians spend an election year doing popular things. Trump is doing the opposite because he’s not trying to win voters back. His goal is to weaken institutions and our resolve so he can sabotage the midterms.

I’m not saying Trump is actually a Manchurian Candidate, but if our adversaries wanted to create one, they couldn’t have done better.

I’m amazed they get to post these. I recall BC Transit/TransLink rejecting ad buys b/c they didn’t like the political sentiment in them (guess which direction the sentiment was)

What the Ellison family would own if Paramount buys Warner Bros: Paramount+ CBS CNN Showtime HBO Warner Bros TNT TBS MTV DC Studios Nickelodeon Comedy Central Cartoon Network And more... This is a rotten deal that the Trump regime has rubber stamped. State AGs must step in and block it.

OMEN ALERT Our team on the ground at the Kennedy Center reports....RAINBOW

Elias: The fact that the New York Times thinks there’s a middle ground here… Here’s my message: I don’t compromise with Republicans because there is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist, and they are trying to burn down democracy.

If you credulously do a segment about the vote in California in which you don’t say the president is lying, you’re spreading disinformation to your listeners.

This is a devastating interview. Scott Pelley tells the NYT that Bari Weiss directly put a “thumb on the scale” for Trump over the killing of Renee Good. Here’s his explanation of exactly what happened.

Under Trump, enforcement of Russia sanctions have been relaxed to the point where Russian oligarchs can buy US jets and take them back to Russia. www.wsj.com/world/russia...

A great read and a great listen! Reverend Senator Raphael Warnock @warnock.senate.gov makes a provocative statement when he says, “We’ve only been a democracy in a real sense since 1965.” The interviewer here plays Devil’s advocate and gets an earful. A must watch! #VotingRights #VotingRightsAct

ABC paid Trump. CBS paid Trump. NBC's parent paid Trump. WaPo, CBS and CNN all pull punches. When Trump sued me, I fought and won. It is that spirit I brought to Democracy Docket. Fearlessly independent, always pro-democracy. Help it grow by subscribing now. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Every time Dems take a trifecta, they should wipe out Republican districts. We’ve been asking for a ban for decades and they’ve refused. They asked for it, they started it, and they can pay for it.

Denmark's coal-to-wind transition is one of the most dramatic energy transformations of the past three decades. In 1990, coal provided 90% of Danish electricity. Today it is under 3%. Wind now covers roughly 60% of electricity generation. The last coal plant is scheduled to close by 2028.
