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.

Pam was paid off by Trump in FL years ago and is still doing his bidding. I'm so ashamed of the women who are selling this country out and being such c*nts while doing it!

Trump lies like the ratty rug on his head!

I've lived in the peaceful PNW for most of my life: OR for 18 yrs; WA for 25; ID for 3.

If Trump has even visited here for more than a quick Trump Train stop, I'll eat my brother's MAGA hat.

Mountain Home, ID AFB is only 591 miles to the Bangor Base in WA, where the nuclear subs hang out. Not to mention Whidbey Island Air Base, McCord AF/Fort Lewis. All of these are in the Seattle vicinity.

Needless to say, I won't be breathing too easily for the rest of my days.

I read The Diary of a Young Girl as a teen. My maternal grandparents came from Germany, so it upset me. Mom explained that men were conscripted and that it had happened to a relative. In my mind, that was no excuse.

ICE is being paid big bucks for their innate, voluntary cruelty. It's sickening.

Many people will sell anyone out if it keeps them alive. Sad, but true.

If Trump can't maintain the health care Americans are dependent upon, then he doesn't deserve this kind of care paid for by our tax dollars!

I got my Covid vax and flu at my physical Wed. Grateful I still can afford it!!

I just had my yearly physical on Wednesday, that included an EKG. I'm gonna call BS on that one too. With those cankles? Nope. Venous insufficiency does not point to one who presents 14 yrs younger, period.

They called them the "Hate America" rallies. I don't hate America, but I sure hate these idiots who are running this country into the ground!

The Waterfront is beautiful! Lots of restaurants and good people-watching. Hawthorne District is fun with cool shops and Bread and Ink restaurant is a fave. NW Portland has beautiful old houses, great food abounds, blah, blah, blah. Mount Hood will grab your eyes with its majestic beauty. Enjoy!!

Robert James Ritchie was born in MI. Now, the 54 yr old "Kid" is being trotted out like some sort of cowboy without a horse. His relevance is nonexistent in anything other than his own mind and MAGA wetdreams.

Kid Rock, who clearly shops at the "Tacky Meth-heads Who Like Silly Costumes" outlet, really shouldn't open his stupid mouth to talk about how other people look.

And Laura Ingraham should never open her snarling mouth to talk about anything.

Trump's whole cabinet is incredibly blackmailable. That's why he picked them. Roy Cohn taught him well.

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

When someone says that to me, I reply with a long litany of the shite that's going down and why they should stay connected. When you explain that German's shrugged their shoulders about what H8tler was up to, they get the picture.
