The most important thing I have written in a while -- Trump’s DOJ wants your data and whether it gets it may decide the outcome of the midterm elections. If you aren't already, become a Democracy Docket member to gain full access all to my writings and DD's premium content. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

The world should be alarmed. A lunatic is president of the United States and no one is challenging his impulses to make himself an emperor.

I looked online for a sled for one of my kids for Christmas. Found one I liked. $35 at Ace hardware. Proceeded to check out. When we got to shipping- that was $215. For a total of $250 for a thirty five dollar sled.

Don't buy books on Amazon. Buy online at Andy Borowitz's new online book shop. TBR Bookshop. Money goes to support independent bookstores. And by coincidence, you can find my latest novel - The Baby Honey Show- a funny and harrowing alternative history about a TV show that destroys Trump.

HUGE development IN hearing for Comey selective prosecution motion, It turns out that the grand jury NEVER saw the operative indictment. Whole separate basis for dismissal. Standby for more.

The release of the Epstein files will never happen. It's not to protect Trump's "friends." What friends? Trump is loyal to no one. I think he ordered Epstein's death. It's always smelled fishy. Guards both take a break at the same time. Camera misfunctions... And Epstein had evidence on Trump.

He is comically, objectively, and dangerously unfit to be president. By any conceivable metric.

Inflation is on the rise — particularly at the grocery store.
One big reason why?
Minimal competition opens the door to maximal price-gouging — and the opportunity to pull shady tricks like this. https://youtu.be/ad5GfgrPkYo?si=iDRiVN9_TsjGsD9k

NEW: Aurora City Councilwoman Danielle Jurinsky has conceded. A stunning defeat for a MAGA media fixture who built a national profile on claims of a "complete gang takeover" of Aurora that led President Trump to visit and falsely proclaim the city "conquered" by an immigrant gang

To remove Trump legally- Democrats need to take back the House in 2026 - which seems increasingly doable. Especially after Tuesday!
We also need 60 seats in the Senate. Trickier. A campaign should begin immediately. Not about policy. The slogan- simple and direct.
60 SENATORS AND TRUMP IS TOAST!

The ideas underlying socialism are hardly toxic. Inclusion, community, compassion, opportunity, effective governance are all fundamental, widely embraced. The term socialism itself has been cynically stigmatized. But with a little good sense, we can move past that and focus on values & results.
The idea of socialism is toxic in American politics. But by picking his battles and showing the data, our new mayor can prove it works
Yes, Zohran Mamdani can govern as a sensible socialist

Take a lesson from the Black Panthers who understood how to feed people
If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.
Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

President Trump wants to extort $230 million (of taxpayer money) from his own DOJ for crimes he was prosecuted for and would have been found guilty of. Only the most corrupt person would do something like this. This is the epitome of Donald Trump corruption.

The peaceful No King March this past weekend was extraordinary. Most remarkable- there were No arrests anywhere.
MAGA didn't show up. Despite relentless encouragement from TRUMP and his Band of Eunuchs in Congress to attack the Left- MAGA stayed home. Hmmmm... Maybe MAGA is running out of gas?
