They are playing in our faces

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations: Alphabet: 8.01% AT&T: 4.6% Meta: 3.57% General Motors: 3.09% Amazon: 1.37% Exxon Mobil: 1.31% Disney: -1.57% CVS Health: -3.88% Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5% This is what a rigged system looks like.

Texas voters, pay attention, PLEASE! CHECK YOUR STATUS. If you've been "suspended" it's fairly easy to rectify, but you MUST DO IT before October! #ProtectYourVote

People have been sharing stories about their personal encounters with Dolly Parton all night, and that’s really the best tribute. But this is worth a listen, too. www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/dol...

Last night, the GOP members of the Senate approved Trump’s effort to destroy the rule of law in the US, wreck the Justice Dept., enable rampant corruption, defend pedophiles, and attack the president’s enemies. And they know they did those things. An egregious violation of their oaths of office.

Heads up: Taylor Farms lettuce is sold under these brand names: Marketside (sold at Walmart) Earthbound Farm (owned by Taylor Farms) Cross Valley Farms (owned by US Foods) Private labels for Target, Whole Foods (365), and Amazon Fresh. AVOID ALL OF THEM

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

GOOOOOOOOOLLLLL!

He should have gone to prison for pressuring Brad Raffensperger to “find” 11,780 votes. That’s the very definition of election interference. We all heard the call.

The Access Hollywood tape should've ended his career in politics or otherwise.

Nobody has suspected any previous US president of selling secrete information to other countries, but Trump is personally taking huge amounts of money from foreign countries, while we don't know what he gives. Trump is the main US national security threat.

Ted Cruz says Texas is 3rd world country.

The world's first trillionaire received 38 Billion Dollars from the US government. But, no, we won't have enough money to pay for school lunches for your kids. Or give you healthcare. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Buttigieg: Nowhere in the Constitution does it say that there have to be nine Supreme Court justices. That one doesn't even take a constitutional amendment. It just takes a readiness to set up a court that fits this country.

BLUMENTHAL: Was the Capitol attacked on J6? TRAYNOR: The actions on January 6 were deeply troubling to watch, but I'm not going to characterize it B: You are perpetuating a lie. I don't know how you can continue as a district court judge, let alone serve on court of appeals. Frankly it's shameful.

This is Ken Paxton's mugshot. He was indicted on 3 felony counts for investment fraud. He was reported to the FBI by his own staff for bribery. He was impeached by his own party for corruption. Now he’s the Republican nominee for US Senate in Texas. Together we will stop him.

Effective tax rate paid by Jeff Bezos from 2014 to 2018: 0.98% Effective 2025 federal tax rate paid by Amazon: 1.4% Typical tax rate paid by the average American: 14.5% Just thought I should point that out.

No one in this regime will face federal criminal accountability unless we reform the Supreme Court first. That's what folks should be running on. That should be the lesson of the Jack Smith prosecutions: it doesn't matter who the AG is.

Watching a series of former Confederate states rush to eliminate any vestige of black representation in the House pretty much answers the question whether the Voting Rights Act was still necessary.

A really tough week. 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

quote this shit and say that you're using the maps anyway

I often say that the fight for democracy is the fight of our generation. But let me be clear, if you aren’t fighting for Black voting rights right now then you aren’t really fighting for democracy.

So much of political coverage is just euphemisms for those qualities Trump shares with his voters.

Given how accurate “every accusation is a confession” has turned out to be, maybe we are missing the real message from Trump obsessively whining about how the 2020 election was rigged.

IF Americans vote overwhelmingly for Dems & give them at least 60 Senate Seats & at least 300 House seats not only could they Impeach & Remove this entire corrupt regime but they would have the votes to remove the corrupt SCOTUS Justices Too! Hope that gives you some incentive to get everyone out /1

For all those who think Dems should rule out impeachment if we re-take the House in Nov because Trump won't be convicted...you have short memories. Trump was impeached before the 2020 election and then he lost. Hearings and investigations matter. Airing the truth matters. The Constitution matters.

Every school in America is going to need to build a ballroom.

The founder says several factors led to his leaving MAGA: the botched handling of COVID, Jan 6 insurrection. GOP response to the Uvalde massacre.    He says it was liberating when he finally left. "No longer had to defend the indefensible or justify the unjustifiable." #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

What if we did robber barons but they don’t fund universities, museums, and libraries, they try to destroy them?

While everyone has moved on, I remain deeply troubled by Trumps threat to wipe out an entire civilization. No American president has talked in such terms. No American president ever should.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

The easiest answer is Trump is Putin's puppet.

Best Star Trek crew, wrong answers only

Reactionary centrists and republicans spent years smearing, belittling, or dismissing anyone who properly described the Trumpism as a white supremacist project. bsky.app/profile/nbcn...

Never forget that this was how The Washington Post greeted Pam Bondi's nomination. Support independent pro-democracy media. Support Democracy Docket. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Just a reminder that the senator who sponsored the bill which became law with broad bipartisan support that states a president cannot pull the US out of NATO without congressional approval was … Marco Rubio.

Lawrence O’Donnell made a great point. Nixon won his 1972 re-election in a landslide, winning 49 states. In 1974 he resigned. By 1976, you couldn’t find anyone who would admit to supporting him. Looking forward to history repeating itself.

Putin told Trump to destroy this country from within and he was more than willing to accommodate his request. What's the reason for Republican lawmakers going along with this? Are they paid off, hate America and are loyal to a country they don't reside in, or both?

The US military is well on its way to becoming a partisan political rogue federal agency just like all the others, largely because retired Republican veterans in Congress and elsewhere betray their oaths to the Constitution by remaining silent.

It's been 66 days since agents killed Alex Pretti. DHS has body-cam footage. They haven't released it. 66 days and counting. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/...

1. Noem blames Stephen Miller and Trump for ICE violence 2. Noem is fired 3. Lewandowski is fired 4. 2 DHS officials tell the Daily Mail that Stephen Miller instructed ICE to cause violence 5. Someone leaked photos of Noem's husband cross-dressing to the Daily Mail Do I have that right?

Our government is being run by the worst people on the planet…
