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.

He ruined the markets for U.S. farmers. He’s giving money to Argentina for their farmers. Next, he’s going to offer a “bailout” for U.S. farmers. This is insanity. Why will no one stop this???

There it is: $20 billion for Argentina at the same time they’re taking markets away from our farmers.

But no $ for health insurance for Americans?

They don’t want you to realize that the House has been on a weeks-long paid vacation because they’re scared of a vote to release the Epstein Files.

What are they trying to hide?

A 60-year-old couple in Virginia with an income between $63,450 and $105,750 could see their monthly premiums increase by as much as $1,076 per month if Republicans don’t come to the table to negotiate a deal to reopen the government AND fix their health care mess.

To avoid swearing in a duly elected Democratic House member who will force a vote to release the Epstein files, the House is in recess indefinitely

Lindsey Halligan entered this as “AUSA” — presumably because no Assistant US Attorney will go along with this.

The form is unsigned and undated.

If you rename the Department of Defense the Department of War, then bomb fishing boats in the Caribbean, and shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper bullet, you should automatically be barred from receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for the rest of your life.

Just bone chilling. And when the imprisonment of critics is combined with his offer to enrich and immunize his loyalists, this is how democracies die fast.

But it's still our choice. Don't let him silence you.
