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.

Abbott is saying that removing rainbow 🌈 crosswalks & flags are because they’re political statement

New Rules?

Since the ordinance is about policing political statements, when such representations of Trump & Confederate ideology are found, file city, county, & state complaints

Donald Trump is weaponizing the DOJ against his political opponents.

Meanwhile, he's gutting the Justice Department’s Public Integrity Section which assists U.S. attorneys’ offices around the country with investigating crooked government officials.

So in the past 24 hours, Stephen Miller has claimed the president has plenary power…

And then referred to ordering troops into cities in the first person.

His fork’d tongue slippeth methinks, and the King should be wary.
