No one is covering the threats to our democracy like the 20-person team at Democracy Docket. No venture capital, no corporate overloads, no compromises. Just pro-democracy news, information and analysis.

Help support their efforts to hold power to account and keep you informed. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

The news of the week makes it sadly clear that the legacy media is fully capitulating. I started Democracy Docket in 2020 to be fearlessly independent and pro-democracy.

It will never bow down. It will never give in. It will never compromise

Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.
