Trump is the last person on earth who deserves a peace prize. Ukraine war is still raging because of him, and so is his tariff war and assault on Americans at home!

I nominate Jane Goodall for her lifetime work to make our only home a better place.

To a better world without toxic men like Trump ☮️

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.

Shutting down the House is not a strategy. It’s an abdication. A failure. And yes, an embarrassment. Even MTG is calling out the GOP for shutting down the government.

ICE racially profiles an elderly man and takes him into custody. They realize their mistake and release him. They also intimidate witnesses. This incident occurred in Long Beach, California.

You know what fascism looks like? Attorney General Letitia James getting criminally indicted on literal trumped-up charges by the criminal who she fought to hold accountable for the actual crimes he committed and is now using the full power of the US govt to seek vengeance.

Leticia James. Absolute respect for this amazing, powerful woman who is a phenomenal AG.

She doesn't deserve this weaponized retribution and those "indicting" her aren't qualified to serve her a glass of water, let alone prosecute her.

We support you, queen.

ICE in Portland complain they are under siege . They are safe and secure in their fortitude building no threats . They monitor protesters and periodically go out in mass to terrorize Protesters because they don’t like being called names and ridiculed. Hardly a siege. Poor babies

This is good, from Hakeem Jeffries. More of this please, in every conceivable forum:

"Sycophants who aid and abet the President’s vengeful schemes will not be able to hide from the serious legal consequences of their behavior. They will be held accountable."

Just bone chilling. And when the imprisonment of critics is combined with his offer to enrich and immunize his loyalists, this is how democracies die fast.

But it's still our choice. Don't let him silence you.

We’re watching an entire political party actively protect the single most infamous sex-trafficking operation of our time.

This isn’t just silence—it’s complicity at the highest level.

PBS is great but I'm hearing they're facing some pretty huge cuts. Hope it doesn't happen 🤞

New statement from AG James:

"This is nothing more than a continuation of the president's desperate weaponization of our justice system.

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:

1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?

2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?

3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?
