If democracy dies in darkness, we have seen that the legacy media is willing to turn off the lights. I founded Democracy Docket in 2020 to shine a spotlight on the most important fights for democracy— those taking place in court.

Chris Murphy on possible military strikes on Venezuela: "It's pretty clear it's just an effort to distract people from the rising prices and the Epstein scandal. No one wants a war with Venezuela ... and by the way, it's wildly illegal."

Angus: You know, every article I’ve read about the tourism numbers talks about “Canada’s uncertainty with the tariff wars.” No. Canadians hate Donald Trump. They see not going to the US as an act of patriotism.

KARL: The president claims that Thanksgiving costs are down 25%. Does he know that's not true?
HASSETT: Well if you look at Walmart--
KARL: Wait a minute. I've gotta stop you. The Walmart package this year contains much less than the one last year. That's why the price is less.

The government is shutdown, and millions of Americans are about to go without food and/or medicine because of him.
So what does Donald Trump do? Keeps bragging about his $300,000,000 golden ballroom and throws a Great Gatsby party at his private resort.
He is so stupidly tone-deaf.

![excerpt from interview with Russ Taylor (one of the Cybertruck drivers interviewed in this article)
How do you feel about becoming a political lightning rod?
People occasionally just flip [me] off or whatever, but nobody's come up to me and tried to make a statement about anything. Personally, it's kind of dumb. It's just a vehicle. So it's ironic that it would even become a political statement, but nonetheless it is. [Editor’s note: Taylor was arrested and pleaded guilty to conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding in the January 6 attack on the Capitol. He was later pardoned by President Trump.]

I know this may sound cruel but the cold practical fact is we need to appeal to more voters if we want to win elections. That’s why I argue that we need to dispense with purity tests and make a big tent by fielding candidates who want to ban Ezra Klein from receiving any medical care whatsoever.

And remember how none of them ever apologized or admitted he was absolutely right?
