I refuse to let hopelessness prevail. This may just be one essay, by a lawyer few have heard of, in a newsletter read by a fraction of the public. But I will not stay silent.

Will you?

The hardest thing I’ve ever done. Said goodbye to my dad and that he can go now. I told him I loved him and that I was going back to help save a country.

Peaceful assembly isn’t an insurrection.

Storming the Capitol to hang your own vice-president and end democracy is.

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.

It does, but Hegseth is claiming he misspoke. He issued a clarification that it will just be a joint training base (similar to how we do with Singapore and NATO nations) that’s fully under US control.

Not sure why he announced it as a literal Qatari air base, other than he’s a complete dunce.

Yes. I would expect lawsuits immediately. There are clear rules for RIFs, and this seemingly violates all of them.

Thank a federal worker, though - a good chunk of them are working without pay, even more of them are wondering if they’ll have to fight to even HAVE a job. Morale sucks right now.

To be completely fair to him, he’s drunk - hard to be a good leader when you’re sloshed.

It’s even harder to be a good leader when you have absolutely no leadership qualities to speak of… so he’s double fucked.

And yes, nobody should sign that.

Have you ever wondered if mental health professionals, privately among themselves, marvel and commiserate over the fact that such a significant percentage of our country has become a toxic mix of arrogant, ignorant, and bonkers?
I will answer that for you.
Yes. Yes, we do.

I don’t think we’re talking enough about the fact that we successfully took back the frog. Like it has been a meme for the alt right for years now, and thanks to these Portland inflatable costumes, we’re taking it back

Highlight the people who are doing the right thing. Talk about the 20 Senate Democrats who did do the right thing, lift them up. But when you hold people accountable for something they didn’t do you are giving the people who did the wrong thing more power.

Stop it

Oh, I’m still gonna regret this, but it’s true.

The way the alt left talks about the Democratic Party is the same way they talk about Israel.

The Israeli government does something evil therefore the entire country, every single person in it, is also responsible.

26 Senate Democrats vote on something that contains an awful provision, therefore all 20,000 elected Democrats, give or take, are held responsible.

It doesn’t work with Israel and it doesn’t work here. Stop holding people accountable for something they didn’t do.

Trump is a conman, sociopath and fraud. JFK Jr is dead. RFK Jr.'s off in the head. Halligan's a hack. Oz is a quack. Bondi's a traitor. Miller's a hater. Vance is fake. Lutnick's a flake. Gabbard's a spy, Putin's her guy. Hegseth's a punk who's also a drunk. Johnson's a weasel - on Oct 18, we march!

Speaker Johnson is currently denying Grijalva’s constituents the ability to have Representation since he is refusing to swear her into this Congress. It’s petty and against all norms, but he now is NOT having anyone on Congress actually “work” in DC. May he rot in Hell
