Both the right to bear arms and the right to protest are fundamental constitutional rights. Despite their differences, they should be standing together against the same tyranny trying to take those rights away.

The next Nationwide No-Kings protests are set for October 18th.

Both gun owners and protesters are saying the same thing: we will not comply. One over a firearm registry, the other over troops in their streets. They might have more in common than they think... the only thing dividing these Americans is the administration itself.

Adelita Grijalva won her election 19 days ago and she still hasn’t been sworn in.

The government has been shut down for 12 days with no end in sight.

They can stall as long as they want but the Epstein files ain’t going away.

How is any of this making America safer?

Crueler? Certainly. Merciless? Absolutely. Heartless? We’re heading there.

Heidi Stevens: ‘We’re going to throw our humanity out?’ Immigration crackdown taking us down a cruel path

It’s hard to believe that this blitz has anything to do with public safety or ensuring that people come to the U.S. the so-called right way.

Never forget that when Bondi was appointed, Democracy Docket immediately called her out while The Washington Post gave her a thumbs up.

If you value independent, pro-democracy media that won't bow down or obey, support Democracy Docket today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Pleasant day out in my neighborhood in Chicago. There was a farmer’s market and people are out strolling, chatting, and sitting out on porches. Just like every weekend.

Except now most of us are wearing whistles to alert neighbors if unidentified guys in tactical gear show up to kidnap people.

We are currently 41 weeks into the year 2025.

And the U.S. House of Representatives has been out of session for 13 of those 41 weeks (32% of the year).

House Republicans have been out of session for an additional 3 weeks on top of that, totaling an absence for 16 of the 41 weeks (39% of the year).

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.
