Everything my Political love- parents Heather Cox Richardson and Timothy Snyder have been saying is coming true. But let me just point out, they also say we can stop it. But it is on US, folks.Stand up, be heard, make calls, protest. On repeat. @hcrichardson.bsky.social @timothysnyder.bsky.social

The 2026 elections are also about the 2028 elections, because we might not have the same momentum to build power in state legislatures in two years. That’s why we’re working with @statesprojectus.bsky.social to build governing power in North Carolina. Help us win: www.grapevine.org/donate/circl...

Before the week begins, I have a specific request: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket and share its content. demdock.com/4w6emld

CNN is about to travel the same dark path of WaPo and CBS News. They will say it's not true. They will ask you to ignore what you see and disbelieve what you hear. Instead, I suggest you support independent media. You can start with Democracy Docket but there are many others. demdock.com/4w6emld

Mother of Renee Good: I voted for Trump under the impression that these agents were here to protect the citizens of the US, innocents like our family and the others here, against terrorists. Certainly not to accuse those of us here of being terrorists and take precious lives. This is madness.

Teach the Facts.

After banning CNN, MS NOW & Politico from the White House, he installs State-Run television, just like they have in so many other countries... Sieg Heil, ya'll. #38Days 🌊

Pete Hegseth is the most incompetent person in the Trump regime — with the exception of Trump himself — and a clear and present danger to the entire world If Trump won’t fire him, Democrats should impeach him when (hopefully) they take over the House and Senate next January.

President Trump last month authorized the duty-free importation of 660 million pounds of cheap beef trimmings that will get mixed in with other cuts to make ground beef. “This meat is some of the meat most likely to be contaminated,” says Eric Schlosser, author of Fast Food Nation.

"The Republican Party in particular must finally loose the chains of its practical & moral enslavement to Donald Trump & separate itself from the MAGA political party cult" A MUST-READ. It may be frightening, but it's crucial we are all prepared for the inevitable! shorturl.at/US1eU

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. Big Tech buys off Congress. No action on AI safety. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Trump is a failing authoritarian whose approval ratings are tanking. Like any bully, when he feels humiliated, he lashes out. But what he doesn’t realize is that his authoritarianism and his bullying are waking up America’s great sleeping giant.

I am tired of people saying we can’t win in front of the Supreme Court. I’m annoyed by those who say my firm is too partisan to be effective. Today we won a huge redistricting fight before SCOTUS and a ballot access case before the Nebraska Supreme Court. The lesson: When we fight we win.

Happy 72nd Birthday to Ruby Bridges, who at the age of 6 desegregated the New Orleans public schools. She’s younger than 30 senators and our last two presidents—and only 7 years older than Barack Obama. The past isn’t past.

Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.

Kroger, which wants to buy yet ANOTHER grocery chain: -Ranks among the largest companies with employees dependent on Medicaid & SNAP -Paid its CEO $14M last year, 417x its median worker's pay of just $34,552 -Spent $12.3B on stock buybacks since 2019 This is what corporate greed looks like.

NEW: Democratic-led states are urging SCOTUS not to intervene in a judge's block on Trump's mail voting order, arguing a pending federal appeals court ruling will soon make the issue moot. The DOJ wants SCOTUS to lift the block now, rather than wait for the 1st Circuit Court of Appeals to rule.

James Talarico @jamestalarico.bsky.social is simply 1 of the greatest, most inspirational candidates to emerge in years, running against Ken Paxton, one of the most disgracefully corrupt politicians of all-time. So the Texas GOP responds by doing what comes naturally to them, of course: CHEATING! 🤮

This is a real sentence from DOJ's legal filing this weekend: "although ballot mail does not present the same operational issues as cremated remains or replica explosives, it is sensitive mail that raises unique operational considerations."

🤣 👍 #IceT

I believe Annie Andrews has a real shot at winning Senate race in South Carolina. I have looked at the data and this is a winnable race. Vote for the doctor against the sister.

A NEW lawsuit against Jeffrey Epstein’s accountant, Richard Kahn, & lawyer, Darren Indyke, has been filed in NY alleging they conspired with Epstein to facilitate his sex trafficking operation. I explain the claims & why this kind of lawsuit can make more discovery public. youtu.be/1aDKpZeRmzM?...

REMINDER: Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in now 73 days. Yet he still: •Has his job •Gets paid, and •Gets free world-class healthcare The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, & against guaranteed paid leave—gets all three as he needs it most.😐

In a country so deeply divided, isn't it nice to have something we can ALL agree on? #ReleaseTheFiles-BeginTheTrials ⚖️

Please don't overreact to Roberts Court decision on the contemplated USPS ballot moves They simply held that the injunction came too early in the process, before there was a final rule👇 Now we HAVE a final rule & we will litigate it. I'm as confident in our arguments here as in any of our cases!

A mail-in ballot does not pose a health risk. It will not cause panic if exposed to the public. It's a piece of paper marked with a pen that is only dangerous to authoritarians wishing to rule rather than govern with the consent of their citizens. newsletters.democracydocket.com/cremated-rem...

The powerful forces trying to dominate our country want us to fall into cynicism. That way, they win everything — and they'll be able to take it all without the rest of us putting up a fight. If you are worried about the future, you are not alone. I am too. But please do not fall into cynicism.

Shapiro: When he sits behind the desk in the Oval Office, making $2.2 billion off his corruption for him and his kids, it costs you money. When he sits behind that desk, he’s not thinking about how to put money in your pocket. He’s thinking about how to put money in his own pocket.

Ossoff: "I have zero interest in running for president in 2028, and frankly zero interest in the 2028 fantasy football right now ... these midterms are the whole ballgame ... I don't know that we have a free and fair election in 2028 unless we restore checks and balances in these 2026 midterms."

We are now in the 90-day period before an election where states may not do mass removals of names from their voter files. The DOJ doesn’t seem to care. Help us protect free and fair elections: https://newsletters.democracydocket.com/anchor-bluesky

Dems must be ruthless to end this tyranny.
