Why hasn't a judge been asked to swear her in? Don't need Johnson's approval.

A new restaurant just opened in Gaza. Its name? Nova. Like the festival where Israelis were slaughtered. The headline says Insult. What do you think?

Just have to replace McCarthy with Trump 🥺

Robert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social · 13h

CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it.

Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.

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

Yes, but it will never happen because it is the Cabinet that invokes it.

What you missed saying is that Qatari fighter jets will be stationed there.
I have a real problem with that.

Hey @nytimes.com
Trump got his peace deal because promises were made that would put $$$ in everyone's pockets.
Would never have happened if Trump didn't benefit financially.

Congress's job is to control the purse strings and not let Trump give $20B to Argentina while Americans can't get healthcare.

Bolton kept his mouth shut because he wanted the material for his book. Once the book came out, he's been vocally anti-Trump. Too little too late. The love of money over love of his country.

With meetings with Qatar and Saudi Arabia, I wonder how much money will flow into Trump's pockets to secure this peace deal

Who are these people showing Trump this garbage, for him to claim things are happening in Portland that simply are not?

Someone is responsible.

(My guess is Miller. )

There is an emerging “culture of fear; there’s a culture of intimidation and retaliation,” said a senior defense official. “It’s better just to keep your head down ..."

Not exactly what I want to hear. Who is going to stand up for The People if not the military?

This is actually funny. Love how they say 'our being in Portland is ridiculous ' without saying they're being in Portland is ridiculous.
