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.

I am sorry that you and the good people of Portland and Oregon are being terrorized by Trump and his gestapo.
The media is knowingly and purposefully NOT reporting the truth. They are participants in this as much as this administration.

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:

1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?

2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?

3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

Johnson is setting precedent for when Dems get back into office that must be adhered to. Every single Republican initiative, negotiation, vote etc. must be met with 100% obstruction until further notice. When Fox screams & cries, we offer no explanation & no apology, just a calm quiet tsk tsk.

The U.S. government shutdown has entered its eighth day. A draft memo is reportedly circulating in the White House stating that hundreds of thousands of workers who have been furloughed due to the government shutdown may not automatically receive their back pay once the government reopens.

How do they pass a resolution?
Via ESP? Osmosis? Divine intervention?
The republicans have the majority. Nothing is going to be passed until they no longer hold the majority.

This is exactly what is happening! I live in Portland. Trump’s dementia and evil intent is more relevant than his stupidity and “confusion” at this point. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Jimmy Kimmel: "Trump was confused by old footage of the Portland protests from 2020, that were being played on a loop by Fox News, so he sent in the National Guard to stop a protest that ended five years ago. God forbid they ever show him footage of Pearl Harbor — Japan will be in a LOT of trouble."

The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.
