A restraining order was issued YESTERDAY by a federal judge barring detention of journalists in this district unless they refuse to reposition themselves and are given adequate time to do so, or there’s probable cause they’ve committed a crime.

JB Pritzker: “Another thing that’s happened with very few people paying attention is they demanded our voter data. Not just ours in Illinois — every state’s voter data. Why? They won’t tell us why.”

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.

They make sure we have clean water.

They protect us from financial fraud.

They provide healthcare to our communities.

They make our government actually work for people.

Do not forget this.

I am 100% sure I’d feel the same way. A military that would harm and separate families, frighten children, shoot at clergy praying in public, swear at the elderly, and throw terrified wives against walls, then shoot our dogs? Well, they are sub-humans.

I don’t think I could ever forgive the evil that invades my house and shoots my terrified dog. Obviously, these are Kristi Noem’s kind of people.

Dear WH Press Corp
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Start demanding answers. Portland isn’t on fire. Chicago isn’t at war. Seattle isn’t thanking him.
ANTIFA isn’t assaulting ICE agents
Hold him accountable for the lies.
Refuse to ask anything else until he answers these.
Demand the proof

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.

Do they have a prize for blowing up boats in the Caribbean and then bragging that people who made their livelihood fishing there for generations are now afraid to go out on the water?

BREAKING: US voters heads explode with rage as Pete Hegseth makes the jaw-dropping announcement that Qatar will build an air force facility in Idaho and station their fighter planes on U.S. soil.

The Qataris bribed Trump with a private jet and now he's paying them back tenfold.

There it is: $20 billion for Argentina at the same time they’re taking markets away from our farmers.

But no $ for health insurance for Americans?

It’s really great to be able to drop your ballot in a mailbox and 24 hours later get both an email and a text confirming it was received. The sort of voting efficiency the GOP loathes.
