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.

Remember:
1. monthly health care cost are going to at least double.
2. many people will not renew their health care plan because they cannot afford it.
3. because of less numbers in the plan cost of those in the plan will rise even more.

Points well made.

Not so different from young men who joined al Qaeda because they had no prospects. This has Reagan's fingerprints, eg putting college out of reach for poorer kids and shackling those that took out loans to debt that's almost impossible to discharge. Or they could join the "volunteer" military.

Oregon Governor Tina Kotek just took back control of the national guard.

She is sending the Oregon national Guard back home and is directing the California national guard to leave the State.

Israel and Hamas agree to 'first phase' of plan to end fighting and release hostages, Trump says.
199 more phases to go. More BS from trump.

Republicans in congress - get your head straight and save our country. Look in the mirror and tell yourself you're doing the right thing. You know you're not.

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

ICE is evidence that our society does not provide our young men the foundation for a healthy adult life. There ability to enforce illegal strongman tactics on fellow citizens proves this. Violence has become the accepted norm in our country.

Processed foods are the enemy to the health of Americans. I applaud the leaders of California for protecting its youth.

Governor Gavin Newsom @governor.ca.gov · 10h

California is the first state to define ultra-processed foods and phase them out of school meals.

DC politicians can talk all day about "Making America Healthy Again," but we've been walking the walk on boosting nutrition and removing toxic additives and dyes for decades.

Mike Johnson’s abrupt closure of the House had more to do with stalling a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation than previously reported, and it appears to have been a direct response to the Treasury’s surrender of Epstein’s financial records.

SCOOP: Johnson closed House hours after Congress received Epstein’s financial records

The decision to shut down the House — and by extension the government — came hours after the Oversight Committee received documents from the US Treasury.

Last night, my team filed a motion to defend voters in California.

DOJ sued 8 states. My firm has filed to protect voters in all 8 states.

We will never back down from the fight to protect free and fair elections.

Marc Elias @marcelias.bsky.social · 7d

DOJ has sued 8 states for refusing to turn over their full, unreacted voter files.

My team has now filed motions to defend voters in 7 of those cases in ME, MI, MN, NH, NY, OR and PA.

I suggest that DOJ monitor the docket in the remaining one in CA.

President Trump warned that there could be mass firings of federal workers if Democrats don’t vote with Republicans on a stopgap spending bill. Good job trump. Use the people as a negotiating tool.
