No one is covering the GOP's scheme to rig congressional maps for 2026 as closely as Democracy Docket. It is providing gavel to gavel coverage of the ongoing hearing over whether the Texas gerrymander will be in place for the midterms.

Really not good that we are seeing right-wing capture of major media outlets as this administration ramps up its assault on journalists. Many individuals would like to hold this administration to account, while their bosses are supporting the fascists arresting those journalists.

A nod of thanks to the unsung heroes behind Toronto’s Cycling and Pedestrian Projects Teams. So many of us in #BikeTO #WalkTO #AODA advocate on a daily basis, the need for our elected representatives to prioritize the safety of vulnerable road users.

This team continues to deliver. 1/2

Image 1: The West Don River Trail over the CN Rail line south of Gateway Boulevard is now open to the public!
Installations include an accessible path to the West and East Don River Trails, and a mirror to facilitate vision around the existing blind corner.

Image 2: Ongoing work on The Esplanade includes the installation of a two-way cycle track on the south side from Market Street to Scott Street, conversion to one-way westbound from Church Street to Scott Street for motor vehicles with on-street parking and loading on the north side, and modifications to the traffic signal at The Esplanade and Church Street. The current phase of work on The Esplanade is anticipated to be complete by the end of October.

Image 3: Road safety improvements are complete along Sentinel Road from Lamberton Boulevard to Sheppard Avenue West, including raised cycle tracks, widened sidewalks, accessible pedestrian crossings and green infrastructure, where feasible.

Hello @nytimes.com

It’s not a sports contest. One side is not angered.

The legitimate news is that the Republican Party is engaged in the mass destruction of American’s healthcare, retirement with dignity, education, environment, and freedoms.

And the Democratic Party is defending Amer freedoms

We always hear that Dems are out of touch. Yes, they have work to do, but why is it OK for R’s to talk to voters like this? This seems to be their MO. Yet, they are lauded for “figuring out kitchen table issues” and reaching voters, while D’s are painted as constant failures. This is f-ing BS.

Is Charlie Kirk's wife implicated in human trafficking through Trump's beauty pageants? Is she a pedo enabler? 🤨

This woman connects the dots.

Charlie Kirk's own wife (once one of Trump's pageant girls) is implicated in trafficking Romanian girls via the evergenital church group she was part of.

Thank you for not forgetting the male victims in this case. About 20% of the Epstein network’s victims were male, and a significant number were also transgender.

The whole McConnell, Deripaska, McGonagall FBI scandal involving a payoff is no accident. The proposed KY aluminum plant was NEVER constructed.
