It'd be a real shame if this photo of President Obama receiving his Nobel peace prize went viral today, for no particular reason

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.

House Speaker Mike Johnson has formally canceled session in the House again, leaving Congress in recess. Military service members will miss their October 15 paycheck because of this. If troops go without pay, this will be a shameful first in our nation's history.

The shameless GOP lying about the No Kings gatherings scheduled for next Saturday reveals how deeply hostile much of the Republican Party is to “the right of the people peaceably to assemble.” I look forward to our local No Kings event, and urge my fellow Americans to attend in their communities.

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.

Peaceful assembly isn’t an insurrection.

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

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

LOL.
So thin skinned.

What's the ninth commandment?
Um, something about "bearing false witness"? In other words:
Thou shalt not LIE!

So much for MAGA Mike's devotion to Christianity!

So, the inept regime does not understand the definition of "annual," hmm?

So, what do we think:
-Gastrointestinal incontinence
-Testing for stroke & TIA
-MRI brain image & PET brain scan for Alzheimer's/dementia/cognitive impairment
-Hearing and vision tests (he's obviously deficit in both)
-IQ 😆

I can’t believe this is happening in the 21st century. Shameful.

8 people arrested in case of Texas midwife charged with performing illegal abortions

The eight individuals were indicted for allegedly practicing medicine without a license under the supervision of midwife Maria Margarita Rojas, the state attorney general said.

20 paragraphs down in the NBC News story that broke the information that the administration is considering invoking the Insurrection Act is the report that Stephen Miller is driving the issue.

Collins Watch @collinswatch.bsky.social · 5d

Susan Collins and her allies (Newsmax donated to her super PAC last cycle) are trying to find a way to plausibly argue that, when the shutdown ends, she was the one who "solved" it.

They pulled the same ploy in 2013. Got debunked (tinyurl.com/2f7kd9fu) but too many outlets played along. #MEpolitics

Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 4d

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.
