Protecting healthcare in Florida and the Republican led Congress is a sham.

Do Floridians have a chance at justice with the Hope Florida scandal? It is NOT as DeSantis claims, "...a manufactured political operation."

It stinks of money laundering, Medicaid theft, and electioneering fraud.

Good morning.

Democrats have no obligation to vote for a budget that funds corruption and totalitarianism.

Trump is willing to do whatever it takes to destroy our democracy and pad the pockets of billionaires.

People don't want Democrats to wilt. They want us to fight.

Did MAGA forget about state’s rights?

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 6d

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

Does AG Pam Bondi think she’s auditioning for the VP slot in Trump’s unconstitutional third term?

Here’s the mashup from today’s shitshow you definitely didn’t ask for. But this important point: she’s reading off a script. Someone actually wrote this garbage and thought it was good to go.

The condescension of two-bit Attorney General Pamela Jo Bondi today underscores that the only thing this administration excels at is a complete lack of self-awareness.

Remember, it was the Washington Post who gave Bondi a thumbs up to be confirmed. Democracy Docket made clear from day one that she was an election denying sycophant.

No surprise at their coverage of today. Support independent, pro-democracy media today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

America’s whiskey industry is in trouble—and tariffs aren’t the only culprit

Americans are drinking less, and exports are tanking. After years of rapid growth, the U.S. spirits industry faces its sobering reality.

Today is Amazon Prime Day. What this means is that instead of buying from Amazon, there are a ton of other sites also having sales that are just as good.

This is a letter received after questioning the deployment of National Guard troops to Portland. Is it a GOP form letter that all GOP Senators send out?
